Title: It's a vacuum robot, that's all I can say.
Review: I had an older model irobot I belive 900 series bought in 2017. Anyway there's really only a few differences which I'm happy about but a little bummed bc I expected I bigger leap of improvement.1000% love the self emptying!! And I can not express this enough. My old one did not have this feature and if ran while I wasn't home and the bin got full it wasn't able to finish the whole job. Now this is not a problem. Plus after awhile I just got lazy or forgot to empty the bin so it wouldn't run on its schedule. Now not an issue.This new device is way quieter! It's still noisy but compared to the older model 100% better.I've only done the mop setting once and I wanst particularly impressed with it. I've only done it once due to having a large rug in my living room and the robot just wants to get up on it and I don't have the barriers purchased to keep it off. But I have epoxy concrete floors and I just didn't care for the mop job it did. It says for a wetter mop to wet the pad first but I was just giving it a try out and decided to not wet it first and the wet spots left on the floor were not solid, just like some little lines of wetness.Overall it gets my floors vacuumed for me when I have other things to do so I would say it works well. I have about 1500sf of space it has to get just in the main living and kitchen area. It does need to charge before finishing all of it. It does seem to go over some areas multiple times for no reason and it gets stuck under my coffee table every single time it runs. So I'm not sure if the smart part about it works on this one lol.

Title: This is a real time saver
Review: I always thought these were gimmicky. But I got one for Christmas and liked it so much I bought 2 more. I have all hard flooring, no carpets, and 2 dogs, a cat, and two birds that all contribute to mess. So I had to sweep everyday or I'd get those pet-hair tubleweeds blowing around. Having to sweep all the time I get lazy and let it go; or when I do it I spend an hour or 2 sweeping or vacuuming. These robots save me hours of time and get the job done better because they are relentless. I set them on a schedule and they do it everyday completely. I have one robot that I manually have to empty the cup everyday. He's in the bedroom, since I'm in that room every day that's convenient enough and only takes 2 minutes. I bought an i3+ and an i4+, they self empty and I have to change the bag about once every 2-4 months. I don't mind the cost of the vacuum bags because they give me so many hours of my time back.The first one I got is the little guy. The little guy's name is Finigan. Finigan isn't too smart. He vacuums in a random pattern. I started with him in the main part of the house. He did a great job but his battery usually ran out before he considered himself done. So the space is a bit more then he likes. He did a great job though. But I loved it so much I got more to cover the whole house and moved him to the smaller bedroom area. In the bedroom suite (bedroom + bathroom~350sq ft), he spends about 45 minutes zipping around to cover everything. When his battery is low he docks himself. I have to empty his cup everyday. At first his cup was usually about 3/4 full to full. The first day it filled and he stopped. I had to empty it and re-start him. After a few months of daily vacuuming, the cup is about 1/4 full each day. So I switched him to a MWF schedule. He's still about 1/4 to 1/2 full each use. He even goes under the bed and keeps that clean. It's really great.The i3+ is Dixie. Dixie does the downstairs. Dixie is smart. She goes in straight line patterns and covers the entire space using a very planned straight line methodical routine. The first day she poked around learning. It was about 1.5 hours. After that, the entire job was planned out and she did the whole thing in about 45 minutes. She has no problem when certain doors are opened vs closed. When it's open, she goes in and vacuums. If it's closed, she skips it. Her cleaning time varies from about 45 minutes to 1hr 15minutes depending on whether the extra rooms are included (doors open vs closed). She drives back to her base when done and docks. And the base sucks out what she collected. I love the base, it means I do not have to tend to her everyday. I actually only need to change the bag about every 3-4 months. There's not a lot going on downstairs. The litter box is there and so the cat pays visits. But we aren't down there daily tracking things around. Thanks to Dixie, there's no fur balls, hair-tumbleweeds, dust, or dirt. Always a nice clean floor. It's awesome. Her map in the app shows where she found 'extra' dirt. Usually right in front of the litter box. It's so awesome not having to sweep up litter daily. I have her on a MWF schedule too and that is more than enough to keep the place clean.I recently got Nick, an i4+ for the upstairs. He's quieter. He's like Dixie in is planning and map reporting, so he's smart. It's very cool. He also gets the job done quickly. First day was like 1.5 hours learning. Now he's done in 50 minutes. The base sucks everything out so I don't have to tend to him as much as Finigan. He's in the main part of the house and it gets the most dirty. The dogs spend all there time here. The cat is up here most of the time. And we have two birds who send seeds everywhere. It's amazing how far from the cage those birds can flick seeds. And their feathers and drift everywhere too. Nick takes care of all that. I do need to manually get under the couch and behind and under furniture which I do once every month or so. But this robot is awesome. Saves me the day in and day out sweeping and vacuuming.Having robots spend 3+ robot labor hours each day vacuuming is an awesome human labor saver. Once they've hit the whole house for a month or two I'm able to step them back to MWF schedules. Their brushes do a great job in the corners, better than me sweeping or vacuuming; mostly because they hit those corners every day and spend the time swirling that brush to work on it. That constant day in day out effort pays off over time. I really can't imagine going back to manually doing this. I look back at the hours I spent doing it thinking that was Neanderthal days. I look forward to telling my grand kids how I used to walk to school uphill in the snow everyday, dial rotary phones, select music off of CD's I had to manually put into a machine, and now, that I spent hours sweeping the floors in the good old days.

Title: He's Smart But Fussy
Review: I purchased this guy based on the good reviews for my upstairs. Upstairs is all carpeted and we have two dogs and three cats. I named him Scooty Patooty, but I should have named him Felix Unger because he cleans well, but he's super fussy!Here's the good: His main job is to vacuum the office, hallway and master bedroom. The suction on the vacuum is impressive. He leaves the "lines" so you know where he's been. Scooty makes several stops to empty his bin, which lets you know that he truly is getting a lot of hair and debris. He does a good job vacuuming and keeping the carpet clean in between regular vacuuming.Here's the not-so-good: He's very sensitive. More often than not, I will get an alert that there is a problem with Scooty. The #1 alert that I receive is that that he can't empty his dust bin because "the Dirt Disposal Bag is full".Which leads me to my main complaint about the iRobot Roomba... the Dirt Disposal Bags. A blessing and a curse are the Dirt Disposal Bags. While Scooty can do a full job because he empties his bin into the DDBs, the DDBs are FAR from full when you get the alert. The DDBs are mostly filled with air, to be honest. So when I get the alert, I check the bag and "squish" the air out of it and put it back in for another run. The DDBs are expensive and do not hold much dirt. Those suckers should be chock full of hair and debris to warrant a bag change.I have a very old Shark robot ("Sharknado") for my downstairs, and he is a champ. He is old school so he's not connected to any app - he just "beeps" when he's in trouble - which is rare. He deals with some area rugs and he's not stellar at the rugs, but he's great on the floors. He runs and runs and does his job and goes back to his dock. I guess he's the Oscar Madison of vacuum robots.So, buyer - be aware that he's good but fussy!

Review: Bought this Roomba as a gift for my mom, which she always wanted. Came in a big box with the robot itself, the self emptying/charging station and 2 replacement bags.Setting it up was extremely straightforward when using the iRobot app on the phone. The set up was very smooth with no issues at all. The robot came with low on charge right out of the box which I think is a requirement when shipping due to safety reasons.After the app set up we gave it a bit of time to charge and proceeded with the Smart Map set up. Without vacuuming it mapped out the whole floor plan of the house and using the app we set different boundaries and named all the rooms accordingly. The whole Smart Map mapping took about an hour while it learned how to avoid obstacles like tables/chairs, etc.Set up automated schedule from Monday to Friday and then did a little test by using "Hey Siri" function on an iPhone and the robot went to clean. It also sends a notification to your phone when it is successful. I'm also assuming it will notify you via a notification when it is stuck. Though it goes over carpet like a champ and should not get stuck anywhere.It is fairly quiet while its vacuuming. The only loud part, as expected was when it self emptied itself. I would not recommend setting a schedule for overnight because it will definitely wake everyone up when it empties itself.For the price I would recommend this product.

Review: The i3+ really fully explores the house - every nook and cranny. On its mapping run it found spiders webs, cat toys, and all sorts of lost stuff under the stove behind the fridge under cupboards and wherever. The vacuuming performance is exceptional. It copes with moved obstacles after a bit of searching around. An improvement would be if it would learn to improve its navigation but it spends quite a bit of effort keeping track of its location and figuring where it is. But it seems to work it out and clean the requested rooms beautifully. Always finds its way home to empty and recharge. Once it sucked up a large coin and stopped, waiting for intervention. Overall a great unit. I’m sure they could keep improving it with software updates.

Review: The product was defective. This 900 SGD robot vacuum was slow and loud, and it struggled to orientate itself with floor plan. It failed to meet the described features and outcomes of product description. Sometimes an area would only be partially cleaned. It's repeated bumping against things and the returns to the home base to recharge and empty the bin was disruptive when working and studying from home. The decibel levels (noise) from the unit were above product specifications and research has indicated could have negative long term impact. We are pursuing a refund.
