Good price for an efficient machine. Cleans very well and dirt traps clean out easily.

This thing really cleans, especially cat hair!

I was a bit skeptical which is why it took years for me to consider buying a robot vacuum. I am a slave to my vacuum as I have to dogs that shed constantly so vacuuming every single day is just part of my routine. But after many hours of reviewing and researching, I gave iRobot a try and I am thankful I did! It has been a full week I had it and it works great. For a non dyson (strongest suction vacuum) it has decent suction for hard wood floors and even area rugs. Works slowly and when it does bump furniture, it is very gentle. Noise is a minimum compared to a "true" vacuum. My one golden retriever is DEATHLY afraid of it and runs to go outside the minute I turn it on.Pros:Picks up all pet hair on hard wood and most in the area rugsDecent suction for a robot vacuumQuieter than a traditional vacuumGoes "home" when press home button as long as vacuum wasn't picked up and placed down as that disorients itEasy to clean all partsEase of set up with iPhoneCons:As all reviews say. This is smaller type of vacuum so expect (based on square footage of area) to have to empty dust bin depending on square footage of house and how dirty floors are. Vacuum will alert you when dustbin full.Cycle of vacuum sometimes is off. It may go back and forth in a given area over and over despite being a large expanse of floor in front of it. Sometimes gets frustrating and you need to pick it up and place it in other parts of the floor it has not gotten to.However, I have learned to just put it on for an hour or so and let it go where it needs to go. If left on its own for the time, it will navigate all over floor, under couches, under chairsI know the more expensive line has dust bin emptying and "mapping" of floor plan so it covers the entire floor but I did not buy this to replace my dyson animal cinematic traditional vacuum. I bought this to keep the pet hair under control so I can take 1 day off of vacuuming every other day and let the robot pick up the pet hair.All in all, REALLY impressed with this robot vacuum especially for dog hair. It picks up ALL the hair and allows me a day off of traditional vacuuming. It is quiet. It gets the job done so it frees me up.HIGHLY recommend!!!

This is my second iRobot vaccum - and it is even better designed than the first.Does a good job with picking up pet hair on carpet. The only flaw so far is that the small cartridge filter clogs fairly quickly and the robot thinks the dust bin is full. Tapping it against a hard surface to remove the dust solves the problem.

I love my Roomba. It does take some getting used to and adjusting to the app but I would definitely recommend.

1) We originally had the i6 with automatic dirt dispenser, unfortunately due to a new puppy we had to toss it. We purchased this i3 model thinking it was totally compatible as the i3+EVO but this particular model is not. This one is the i3-3150. It does not have the type of debris bin the i6 had where it allows it to automatically be emptied. This particular model comes with the standard, empty yourself, bin cartridge. But - luckily, we still had the old bin from the i6 and they are compatible. Instead of sending this model back, we simply interchanged the bin. You have to make sure that whatever model you purchase comes with the trap door contraption to allow the "EVO" (automatic dirt bin mechanism - it empties itself) to work. One unfortunate thing is that you cannot purchase the dirt bin separately as an accessory, so if you can save the old one, simply interchange it. Works perfectly!2) Easier to set up than the i6 - this took me all of 3 minutes and it works great on our Wi-Fi.3) Cleans better and is a little quieter than the old i6. This model seems to take more time to map out the areas. Of course with all newer Roomba models, you can set a schedule and even schedule certain areas for certain times of the day. This one comes with a new feature or its an update to the app - it knows when you leave the house and will start when you go to work/school/etc. I did not chose that option. I have mine set to run at 10 am each morning. With two dogs and two cats, it needs to run daily.4) The brushes are longer reaching deeper into corners. They definitely improved the reach of the little rotating brush! Great add!Just remember that if you have to toss an old one, save the accessories - they may be interchangeable and can save you a whole bunch of money!!

I bought this for my wife for Christmas. It was her request, so that got me off the hook if it didn’t work! Frankly, I didn’t EXPECT it to work very good. How could that little thing with hardly any suction at all POSSIBLY clean carpets and hard floors. I was so wrong! I have gone from skeptic to absolute fan! This little guy has exceeded my expectations dramatically. Our hard floors used to be continually dirty. You know how it is. Either sweeping or dusting mopping constantly to keep hard floors clean. I really didn’t expect the Roomba to do much with the hard surfaces. Boy was I wrong! I love it for the hard floors! I love emptying the bin and finding an incredible amount of stuff every time! Plus, by keeping the hard floors clean our carpets have stayed cleaner as well.And it does great on carpets. Or at least on ours. We have good quality plush carpet that’s all one length. We don’t have pets, so I can’t comment on pet hair. We don’t have kids, so small objects and toys and things of that sort are not a problem. But the carpets themselves look fantastic after the Roomba goes through the house. Occasionally, I leave little bits of debris on the floor intentionally to see if it’s going to pick up small shreds of paper or the odd piece of string or something of that sort. The result is… If it’s not something that is stuck to the carpet it usually gets picked up by the Roomba.I did not get the additional canister that empties when on the charging base. Therefore I usually have to empty it twice to cover the whole house if I go several days between cleaning. About 2500 ft.². The first couple of cleanings were especially fun when I let it go under the beds and rooms where we have lived for many years. I really didn’t expect it to be able to clean the accumulated dust under the beds. It did fantastic! Of course, it’s little debris area filled up rapidly, and several times, when cleaning in areas that had not been vacuumed in a long time. It took two and three times running under beds before they were really clean underneath and the dust bin didn’t fill up. After the initial cleaning or two, even under the beds and throughout the entire house can be cleaned usually without having to empty the dustbin.All I can say is I’m glad my wife wanted this for Christmas! Roomba has been a great cleaning asset to our house!

I have long delayed on picking up an autonomous vacuum as I have heard more horror stories than happy owners. For Christmas this year, we decided to take the plunge and get one to save us some housework (or at least reduce the frequency that we'd need to sweep. We have all laminate flooring in a single story house, so it's practically a requirement to sweep daily.With all the options on the market, and rabid fans for each brand, it's very difficult to get honest information on what which ones within given price brackets win out and which features are really important to have. Ultimately, we opted to give the roomba a shot since during the black friday sales, nearly all competitors had their pricing roughly around the same levels for similar devices. We opted for the i3 for highest suction power to lowest cost. In hindsight, I wish we had gone with the i7 for the ability to map our house out and designate zones for specific cleaning (would have been a excellent feature for days when I was in meetings and the roomba could not get to my room to clean during its scheduled time).As for the actual device itself, my expectations were very tempered for considering what we were purchasing. Fortunately, I can say that we have been very satisfied with Nagatha's performance (kudos to anyone that gets the reference). It is surprisingly thorough considering the i3 re-maps the floors every time it cleans. Only on particularly high traffic days do we ever notice particles on the floor, and that's usually hours after it has made it rounds.The only cons I have (if it really can be considered a con) is that it picks up some much animal fur and particle junk that its not uncommon for the bin to be full and have to cancel it's clean until the bin is cleared. Having the option to resume a clean after the bin is emptied would be nice, and not have it start all over again (A full clean of our house usually takes 2 full charges and roughly 2.5 hours of cleaning with roughly an hour of charge time between that). Being able to pause a clean and send roomba back to its base to charge while on pause, then resume when ready (because sometimes I have longer meetings during the scheduled clean times) would be a nice to have feature so we don't have to start the whole clean over. Last complaint is the cost of replacement parts. Considering the glut of off market replacement options and how well these cheaper alternatives seem to perform/review, iRobot should seriously consider making replacement parts (like filters) either reusable or competitive with alternatives.Overall, 5/5 based on my tempered expectations of what these things would actually get done. Quite satisfied with it's performance so far. Looking forward to upgrading to an i7 (or the equivalent of that) in the future.

I absolutely love this vacuum. I wasn’t sure about a set up. I called the company and they kindly walked me step by step. Very nice CS
