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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
