Fails to Connect Daily
While this unit is still a better device than Neato, it has serious flaws. First off, I have hardwood floors, and the Roomba will clean around the base, pushing it all over the place and occasionally unplugging the charging base from the wall. When it’s finished with cleaning, even if I put the charging base back in its original position, the Roomba will not find it half the time (I’ll come home to find the Roomba dead under furniture in another room of the house). On the rare occasion it does manage to find the base and dock itself, it will not connect again the next time I need it to run. I spend 10-15 minutes EVERY TIME I WANT IT TO RUN just getting it to connect to the app, having to reboot it dozens of times before it finally connects. Contrary to what the company would like you to believe, the device WILL NOT RUN WITHOUT BEING CONNECTED TO THE APP!!!!When it works, it works great, but the pain in the ass of having to reboot the damn thing every time you want it to run is why it only gets 2 stars.If you contact customer support, no matter how many times or for what reason, their initial response is always, “This does not appear to be a warranty issue, we cannot help you.” Every. Single. Time. Customer service is pretty much non-existent.EDIT: I have now dropped my rating to one star. For the past couple of months, I have had to manually place the unit back on the charging base, as it is simply unable to find it on its own. Now it has a new habit. Once on the base and halfway charged, it will turn on, back itself off the base, and sit 3″ from the base while the battery drains. I have resorted to having to stack books in front of the unit to keep it on the base so it will be charged for the next time. I STRONGLY URGE YOU TO AVOID BUYING THIS DEVICE. I am currently shopping for another brand to replace this useless thing.

I bought this unit second hand from amazon, was not sure I would get a decent unit but turn out to be working perfectly. Cleans my house on schedule, the app is decent and integrated well with Alexa. Saves me a lot of cleaning time in between vacuum days

So far, we’re really liking this little guy. Does a great job of cleaning up basic dirt and pet hair. Because of our cat, we do have lots of pet hair, and the small dustbin fills up pretty quickly. We possibly should’ve got the plus model that has the homebase dustbin that it empties into, but for the price of $130 through an open box warehouse deal we couldn’t pass it up.It mapped our upstairs pretty well. It took about 45 minutes to map a living room, kitchen and three bedrooms and hallway. And it’s really cool to be able to say “Alexa, ask Roomba to clean the kitchen… or Alexa, ask Roomba to clean the bedrooms” once you have favourites set for a room or combination of rooms. Of course you can have it clean everywhere all at once as well.Noise level isn’t bad at all. It’s quieter than I expected after seeing reviews and videos of it. Much like my video it comes across on camera.It’s stairs/cliff detection is really good. It gets right up to the edge and then stops. We haven’t had any issues with stairs yet. And the portable barrier thing it comes with that you can place anywhere stops it from going behind our couch and getting stuck.Object detection works well, it navigates itself around tables, cat stands, and anything that’s been on our floor quite well.We’re impressed.
