Not worth it. Get the most basic roomba.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought and exchanged a few of these last year before ultimately returning it and going back to the most basic Roomba. The mopping feature just isn’t a good fit for a home with rugs—it struggles to navigate properly and constantly has trouble getting back to its charging base. When it does make it back, it often doesn’t line up correctly with the charger, so it ends up dying. Since it’s supposed to run automatically while I’m away, I’d often forget to check on it—until I noticed my floors were still dirty. I got tired of the constant troubleshooting. Now, I use a simple, no-frills Roomba. I can just pick it up, press the button, and let it go. Sometimes, less really is more. We ended up disabling the mopping altogether since our house just isn’t suited for it with all the rugs.

||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great product....at first. However, it mistook my dogs poop for trash and decided to run over it and smeared it all over. I wasn't able to fully clean the vacuum so I had to throw it away

Effortless Every Day Cleaning
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We love our Roomba! It’s quiet, reliable, and does a great job without getting stuck or bumping into things. It’s made keeping our floors clean between the big sweeps and mops so much easier, especially with kids and a dog in the house.

I would recommend this to a friend Time Saver
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this on sale and its a great entry level Roomba. I have a tiny 430 square foot apartment but its such a chore to sweep. This has cut my cleaning time significantly. I also set it to clean while I’m at work, which makes it so nice to come home to clean floors.

Doesn’t map or clean entirely
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve owned the 600 series before and loved it. I purchased two of these for my parents to try out and I can tell you they’re awful. It never fully cleans a room, frequently missing spots. Even if I close the door it will miss under furniture and things of that sort. Because of the lack of mapping, it doesn’t know where to go and doesn’t clean the house as well as the advanced ones. Would not recommend the cheaper models.
