Cleans very well. I have cats and fur on the hardwood floor seemed to always be present before I bought this vacuum. Clean up fur and litter very great and my lviign areas almost feel as if i dont own any pets! The vacuum is somewhat loud but nowhere near as loud as a traditional vacuum is. Definitely worth the price when it is on sale

Buy a real vacuum cleaner

I was skeptical that a battery powered vacuum could get results similar to a regular corded vac. I was right. It picks up surface stuff fairly well but is no substitute for a real vacuum.
Having said that, we do find it very useful for cleaning up pet hair. We leave it to run in a room when we are gone and the receptacle has a good amount of dist and hair in it. It keeps the carpet a little cleaner between vacuuming.
The sweeping pattern is totally random and it tends to stay in one spot for a long time before moving on. When it encounters an obstacle it does an almost full turn and collides with the same object. If you leave it in one small room. block off the areas under dressers and such that it tends to get lodged under, it's handy enough.
Our side sweeper brush motor burned out after four months and I read that it should be taken out and cleaned regularly. This is not mentioned in the instructions.
For this much money you can buy a mid-range upright which I would recommend

I bought this as a test, I've got 3 kids and a dog so the floors tend to have stuff dotted all over the place. We also have rugs and some small elevation changes to different rooms. I really didn't think these robots would be able to cope and would just continue to get stuck, hence I went for the "cheap" version to see how it might hold up.
I'm impressed, it handles the elevation changes really well, sometimes it has to take a couple of runups before it finds the right angle, but it does get there.
It doesn't seem to get stuck on shoelaces or toys on the floor it just goes about its business.
we have a labradoodle with long hair that just gets everywhere, but again this copes with it really well and gets the floors surprisingly clean.
All in all, a great entry level model, would definitely buy it again!

We like the way it works. In our home there are a few areas where it gets stuck. We will just need to find a work around for those areas. Otherwise works great!

Easy to use, simple vac. It doesn’t have the bells and whistles of the high end versions but cleans well and can be controlled from the iRobot app. Replacement parts are also affordable.

It’s more than what you can ask for, for the price. I mean, you’re getting an automated vacuum cleaner for the price of a manual vacuum cleaner. I just bought this one a month ago and it does wonders. I run it once every 2 days in my 1000 sqft apartment and my carpet, and other wooden flooring areas are clean and tidy. I don’t have any pets so I think that’s sufficient. The roomba app gives you suggestions on when to replace the filter, side brush and the bristle and beater brushes which are reasonably cheap. I’m gonna but the high end roomba sometime in the future for sure. Be sure to not have cables lying around (per the instructions).
P.S: Go for the higher end models if you can afford it. I’m for sure getting the higher end one in the future.

Very helpful for senior adults, set the wifi timer pick up larg objects and the sweeper cleans your home after it's completed empty your dirt compartment and your ready for the next day. Vary easy to clean dirt out of sweeper. That's it

The vacuum swipe the floor itself. It can schedule on the time frame when you not at home. The noise of the machine is little bit louder, but overall the vacuum does the job as I expected it.

I had to return it because it doesn’t work for a big place. It doesn’t cover the entire home. But if you have a smaller place you should try it. It has good suction and picks up dirt easily.

For its size it is a good deal. It gets up a decent amount of dirt/dust. My only complaint is that it is very noisy. Other than that I enjoy this vacuum and use it every day.

Great robot for cleaning! I wish it had the mapping but it’s great overall. Cleans strong but at times can get stock and it will need your help. Overall for price and quality is a recommended one! Specially to clean under beds and other places you can miss at times.

The only reason I did not return this item was I was too lazy.
On bare floor it does a poor job of picking up stuff, so be ready to clean that area with h(human)Robot. On the carpet it seems to do a decent job and I like the fact it goes under the bed and cleans it which I would have never done. I bought a open box, so not sure if I had all the instructions or not.
Had issues charging, had to clean the sensors every time and sometimes it does not seem to charge completely or it does not hold charge.
