Customers are saying

Customers are enthusiastic about the Roomba 890's cleaning performance, ease of use, and effectiveness in removing pet hair. Many appreciate its simple setup process, although some users found the navigation system needed improvement and reported issues with battery life and noise levels. The small dustbin size was also a common complaint. While some found the virtual wall helpful, others felt it could be improved.

    I had a Roomba before and it did a much better job then this one. I was not happy with how it cleaned and most of the time I would need to go over spots with a swiffer to get what it had missed. I will be trying a different model.

    I have an original that was a hand me down and still does a good job. I got a second one to move the old one up stairs. Unfortunately 890 just got off the short bus with chocolate flavored windows. It won’t stay in the same room and just wonders around hopelessly looking for dirt or pet hair. My original does a much better job but the brushes are a pain. So the new rubber rollers are THE ONLY thing the 890 has going for it. Otherwise it’s almost worthless and I find myself wanting to kick it across the room to where the dirt and pet hair actually are

    This vacuum barely picks anything up. It gets stuck constantly & it requires too much supervision. I would rather just vacuum myself.

    We bought this one initially and then it stopped working so we had to exchange. The exchange one is NO GOOD. I think they gave us a refurbished model. Leaves chunks of dog hair now. Our first one did not.

    I wouldn’t recommend this unless you have all hardwood flooring. It’s doesn’t store enough dust and takes awhile to configure. I returned it. Not very good value for $400

    Helps keep floor pretty clean but if you have pets or hair to vacuum regularly it is not worth it. The hair gets tangled and the brushes are very sensitive giving an error signal and stopping all the time.

    Roomba worked hard but was all over the place without any set direction for cleaning. He missed a lot of easy trash and wasted a lot of time going here and there. Too random.

    Bought it thinking it was a good deal on Black Friday. Brought it home and then did some researched and decided to return it. Instead, bought a Neato instead.

    This unit would not connect to my WiFi. Looking on the top did not see a display for WiFi. Returned it for another model and it connected right away.

    I have an older Roomba that I bout 4 years ago and that works great and so we bought this one. It still has problems going over the area rugs and stops every day.

    The Roomba did not work well. After sweeping for 40 minutes, not much was picked up, and the sweeper failed to return to its dock. I returned the product.

    I bought this but it kept stalling, I had the 650 previously and loved it. The 890 would run for a few minutes and say error. I returned this and got the 690 which also has the app control. The new brush system is the issue with the 890.

    No remote control. Can only use smartphone app. Unless you want to keep redirecting the robot it's not worth the money.
