    I got two of these— one for my apartment and one for my mom’s. It works like a charm with minimal human intervention. Automate and create a habit of emptying/refilling water bins, and you’re set. Love it

    This is one of the best combo robots! It was easy to set up on the app, and it's been a big help in keeping the house tidy. We have a German Shepherd and 2 cats, and there is no struggle when it comes to picking up their hair or keeping the dirt to a minimum.

    Takes forever to setup. Even when set up can't map the whole house. Very frustrating. The part that it IS cleaning around the house works great.

    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.

    I should have known better than to try another rhoomba, but I figured it’s been several years maybe they’ve gotten better. Nope, they have not. It only works for a few weeks and the. You start having battery issues and errors when there is nothing actually wrong with the robot. It constantly says it’s stuck, but will be in the middle of the room with nothing near it. I cannot stand their products, they are so frustrating! Will definitely return.

    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.

    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.
