    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.

    Besides the obvious reason that the company has gone bankrupt, avoid the mistake I made in buying this. I wish I could attach the video of "smart cleaning" which looks more like a drunk driver is operating it with an joystick. It cleans everywhere except where I specifically set it to clean.

    I absolutely love my Roomba. I can take it from the dock and put it in other rooms to clean also. It is a tremendous time saver and such a relief. Does a really good job of vacuuming and mopping.

    The Best Robot Vac + Mop I've Ever Used

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I have gone through many generations and brands of robot vacuums over the years. Each time I try one, I am always left unimpressed and wanting more. They either are extremely dumb and try to eat everything on the floor (socks, cables, money...) and would ram into your walls startling you, or just sucked (not in a good way for vacuums) at sucking. So, I honestly was skeptical to try out the Roomba Plus 505, just because of my bad experiences in the past. I just recently bought a new home that has hardwood + tile everywhere, no carpet! Just some area rugs. I really needed help with mopping and saw this and thought, ok why not? Setup was very easy to do, just unbox, fill the water tank put it in, attach the mops and sweeper and you are done! The home base is really nice, it looks sleek, seems well built, and has a little ramp for your minion. I thought the auto map worked pretty well. Obviously you want to do your best job at removing anything that might get in its way. Another cool thing is that it auto detects what the furniture is. So after a few runs, it will know "oh thats a dining table, oh that is a bed, oh that is a couch" and put it on your map, and know how to navigate it better. The spot clean feature is nifty to use in a pinch. But let's get down to what matters the most, how well does it clean? Well, let me tell you, I am actually very impressed with how well this thing can clean. My floors were quite dirty and hadn't been mopped in almost a month so I put this thing up to the test. Wow I could not believe how much dirt it picked up in the dirty water resovoir! I then had it do a deep clean pass after spraying some floor cleaner, and my floors came out better than when I moved in. And to top it off, I didn't have to lift a finger or break my back mopping! And then the cherry on top is that it cleans it's own pads, notifies you when to replace them, empties its own dustbin and dirty water and fills up with new water. It's honestly everything you could want! The only "complaint" is I guess it's slow, it could take a couple hours to clean the whole house and needs to refill quite a bit, but I mean what do you expect? On top of superior cleaning, this robot is quite smart. Like really smart. It never has gotten any of my rugs wet in mopping mode! It knows when a rug or carpet is coming up, and auto retracts the mop pads so it does not get wet. And then it starts to vacuum and it does a great job at that too! And once it is done, it sets back down the mop pads to continue hard wood + surface cleaning. 5/5, great job iRobot!!

    Got this as a gift for my son and his family. Had to return the first one because of an issue. The replacement is working fine for the last few months. Would give it more stars if not for having to return the first one.
