iRobot Roomba s9+ Self Emptying Robot Vacuum – Self-Empty for 60 Days, Detects & Cleans Around Objects in Your Home, Smart Mapping, Powerful Suction, Corner & Edge Cleaning

$600 and disappointed (Update – Solid do not buy x2)
First this thing is loud. The rubber scrapers/rollers squeak on our floors. It’s pretty annoying, I even use it a my alarm clock now.While it is loud when cleaning your floors there is nothing that compares to when it empties into the base. High pitched vacuum noise as loud or louder than my shop vacuum. I am not exaggerating.I had a $180 Shark that was dumb as a rock, banged hard into everything, not as loud and cleaned as well. This is supposed to replace the Shark.___________________On the Seventh day…After it woke me up it vacuumed for a bit and did it’s ‘I stopped vacuuming for a reason’ beep. I had some things to do so I checked the app. It showed it was still cleaning. But it wasn’t.Eventually I remembered it exists and found it. I pressed clean and it would not resume. So I put it on the dock and it still showed it was cleaning as it was charging.Came back and the Roomba didnt respond to either the app nor the ‘clean’ button.It needed a reboot. Held the ‘clean’ button for 20 seconds and it rebooted. Still nothing. I waited again. Pressed the ‘clean’ button again and it finally started to reboot. It told me it had an error 15, some internal error it was able to clear on its own. But no clue what it was.Finally it starts working again and I set it to clean again.Seven days and this thing already had an internal error. $600 gamble if this will happen again. I’m going to exchange this one. I don’t feel like dealing with a deteriorating unit which may fail outside of the 30 day azon return period and get a refurbished unit from a warranty return with iRobot.Update: Since I posted I still ran the vacuum to see if things that happened were a fluke. Maybe my expectations were too high? I’ve come to find out they really aren’t.So, the vacuum tried to ‘mount’ the dock. No, not in the I’m going home to charge and empty my bag. Nope, it decided to hump the dock at an approach angle of 45°, then after a minute of rocking up and down it backed off, spun around 360° and started it again. This happened 4-5 times before I picked it up and placed it away from the dock.Something else I’ve learned is that everytime something gets stuck in the brushes I need to clear the brushes and then put it back on the dock to ‘reset’ it. Pressing the clean button will not get it to start cleaning again. It just toots its cheery little tune and sits there. I did not have this problem with the Shark that the Roomba replaced.The worst part of it is that after being on the dock it will not pick up the job where it left off. So half the floor is clean. If I set it to clean again it starts with cleaning the area it has already cleaned.I run this vacuum once a day. I can count on my hand the number of days that this vacuum has run trouble free for me and still have 3 fingers left over.Update, again (2 months): Do not buy this junk. It literally said it was stuck on a ledge… In the middle of our hardwood floor. Nothing around it.Now it has taken to trying to empty it’s bin before it starts a job, repeatedly. Today it was 3 times in succession before I pulled it off it’s dock. What programming says keep emptying your bin multiple times before you start a job. And the vacuum’s bin is already empty. Who programs these things?————Update 11/24/23It is officially no longer working. It had a fault stating that the bumper was jammed and to tap it a few times to loosen it. I tapped it, and tapped it and tapped it some more. No change. Put it on the dock. No change. Rebooted it. No change. Tapped it again. No change. Rebooted it again. Yes, finally change. It moved a few feet from the dock and spun in a circle for about a minute and then the error of stuck bumper is back.I give up.I will continue to update all the new faults I discover until Amazon makes it unable for me to edit this review.

Review one year and a half later:1) The quality of customer service at iRobot is unequaled. 2) I recently tried another product that was supposed to be the best according to PC Magazine. This other product was finally very disappointing. In particular, iRobot was far superior to make a map and this other brand, which claimed to wash the floor at the same time, still has work to do to fill its promises.Review when I purchased it:iRobot Roomba s9+ takes some time to map the floor, and it doesn’t always do what we think it should do. My advice is : leave it alone! Let it do its work and clear the place as much as possible. Press the map button, then the 3 dots, then mapping run. Do it at least 3 times (you have to do it at least 3 times). This will take a lot of time (for 1500 sqf). Let it work! Thereafter, this device will work perfectly. I am delighted.N.B. The first time, I left the chairs and other little things (flower pots) in their place. I was disappointed with the result. The plan wasn’t perfect. The second time, I took as many things as possible off the floor and put them somewhere else. After giving an almost perfect floor… I had a perfect plan! If you are demanding with the robot, you must give it what it needs to meet your requirements.

The clean Base is not duel voltage, you will need a converter from 220 – 110 to use.In the same time, the charging function is working fine without a converter!!
