More quiet than the previous versions. Not happy with how it gets stuck under my couch. Older models never had that issue.

A great basic vacuum. I don’t need all the bells and whistles. It has a good battery life. It travels under beds and my sofa. It leaves my carpets nicely cleaned.

I have been very pleased with this product. I ordered this product because i was wearing a boot after a broken toe. Once the product has mapped out the area to vacuum it moves freely throughout the house and successfully navigate every room.

Works pretty good. First one was a lemon. Returned and replaced. I like it. Cleans okay. Keeps the cat hair off the floor. But it gets stuck on everythinggg!! 9/10 runs I have to find it and dock it. Blankets, clothes, a shoe, a corner, a rug. It’s become humorous to think I’ve cleared everything for its path, just for it to get stuck on something new.

Great starter Roomba, especially for small spaces. I love being able to sit on my couch and let this little thing do my weekly vacuuming.
(I couldn't get the app working but it's really not necessary. The Roomba works fine without it.)

I wanted to Love it like my previous one but that didn’t happen. The mapping was off. It would get stuck in a corner until I moved it. It just didn’t know which way to go I had to keep moving it around.

I bought this item as a Christmas gift for my sister, They love their new iRobot Roomba. They sent me videos of it working all over the house. I trust Roomba because I got me one in 2020 and I am very satisfied. Quality is great and satisfaction guaranteed.

I bought this to replace my old Roomba. It’s more of a downgrade compared to the last one I had I do miss having a handle so I can easily lift and move it around if it gets stuck, but overall it works fine. Also, this one doesn’t sound as loud as my old one.
