The app is slow, freezes, and crashes. Using their mopping solution and their recommended dosing. It would constantly error due to oversudsing then it begain flooding my floor. I returned it and replaced it with a shark.

This roomba is replacing an older roomba and Braava. The updates to this machine made me think the upgrade would be worth it to me and it has proven to be true! If you’re on the fence I would highly suggest it.

The Service at Best Buy was good, the unit 505 plus Roomba has the same problem as the one that I exchanged, grinding noise from the mop mechanism and the new, new unit uses an excessive amount of cleaning fluid.

This is our fourth Roomba and it’s been not a great product. The cleaning is second to none but the new WiFi connectivity is Terrible. It’s always disconnected which means it doesn’t clean when it’s supposed to. We’ve tried rebooting and all the troubleshooting options without luck. If I tell it to clean manuallly it connects and takes off. Problem is it cleans the entire house…. When I send it home to reset it looses connectivity again. Lots of money to not function properly!

Ive been an Irobot user for about six years. I wanted a robot that could replace both my vacuum and mop robots. I had been resewrching this model for exactly that. I almost didnt putchase because of all of the negative reviews. Im glad i disnt let tye negative people sway my purchase. This was the best investment ever. I couldnt be happier.

I’m giving it a three because one of the mop scrubbers stopped spinning only after a couple of weeks on the job. However, after contacting the company via text, they stated they are sending me a new one out within the next 7-10 days. The rating could go up if the next works better. I can’t recommend something that I’m having issues with only after a couple weeks.

Not thrilled with the unit nor the lack of support from this company. The 505 does not empty the debris bin. Contacted their support and the only trouble shooting step from the company has been to restart the unit and the base. Once those steps did not work I waited over a week for their support rep to come back and ask about the warranty status for this unit that came out 2 months ago. On the positive side the 505 does seem to navigate around obstacles better but has canceled the running job several times claiming that it was stuck while in the middle of the room. Until they get these issues fixed I would recommend that this one be avoided.

Faulty performance

Daily errors, having to reboot, stop routine, uninstalling and reinstalling the app, which crashes and fails to show progress properly.
Additionally, seems to have insufficient sensors to properly map areas. It would not go under a computer desk, regardless of ample space. It always some dirt spots.
