Title: Get This One
Review: We have been a Roomba family since 2018. We have had a Roomba 980 upstairs and a Roomba 671 in the basement. The 980 is a beast and in my opinion, is the best Roomba ever made. The 671 is sufficient, although it bounces around like it's lost all the time. But this review is not about my old Roombas. We decided that the one drawback to the 980 is that is worked so well, the dust bin filled up fast and it was a hassle to keep emptying it. So we wanted one of the newer self-emptying Roombas.We tried the i5, and that seemed stupider than our 671. We could tell it tried to be smart, but became confused easily and would shut down for no apparent reason, plus the suction really wasn't there. We returned that I decided to try a more expensive version. Well we are happy we did. The s9+ is almost as much of a beast as the 980. ALMOST. It seems like it has a little bit less suction power, but the room map capability and self-emptying make up for it. It navigates flawlessly and it is super nice to tell it to only clean the family room (or whatever room) if needed. It's also much faster than our 980. The 980 would spend 10-12 hours cleaning our 2200 sq ft main level, while the s9+ takes a bit more than 8 hours. Another big plus, it is much quieter than our 980.All-in-all we are pleased with our purchase. I will update this review in the future to let you know how it works over the months and years.

Title: $600 and disappointed (Update - Solid do not buy x2)
Review: 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.

Title: Love it
Review: Bought this on Prime day since it was on sale and I love it. I was concerned that it wouldn't be able to go over a small hump in the floor, possibly thinking it was a threshold, but nope, it drove right over it. It maneuvers well through the house.Pros- Cleans in a grid pattern - see photo of nice lines left in carpet- Travels from room to room whether it's over carpet or vinyl.- Has good suction. I have thick/dense carpet and it does a good as my stand up vacuum- Very thorough. Does a good job of going around table legs (see photo with circle path around table leg) and even underneath couches that have a flap at the bottom- Can work in connection with the Bravva mop- You can direct it to clean specific rooms and stay out of others- When you select the rooms you want to clean, it gives an estimate of the time it takes to complete it.- You can choose from 3 suction levels- It empties itself, so no handling the dust can- No bad smell like my old vacuumCons- Some rooms it vacuums against the grain of the carpet. For one room, I was able to place a divider in that room using the app so that it mapped the room differently.- It has had about 3 tech glitches, but that is expected because tech isnât perfect. I either rebooted the bot, closed and reopened the app or gave it time to sit and then it worked properly.- When it does the hallway it goes over the thresholds to get the edges and slightly enters the other rooms. This is a con if it goes into a room where you don't want to be disturbed or go into a room where it gets stuck. So you h have to remember to close the doors. The only threshold that it has a problem going over is the bathroom (that threshold needs adjustment, not the bots fault) and if it's cleaning the hall it will go over it and then can't drive back out. There is a setting that says to get as close to the edge without touching edges but I haven't tried it yet to see if that helps.- October 2023 Update -Overall I'm still happy with this but since writing the initial review the vacuum has been giving me a bin error regularly since mid-September even after it is thoroughly cleaned. The app says they are working on a fix coming out in Oct but I've yet to see it happen.

Review: En realidad no estaba tan convencido de comprarlo, pero despues de haberlo usado 2 semanas se me hace un excelente producto. Quiero aclarar que no es perfecto y que jamás va a sustituir el trabajo humano, sin embargo es de muchÃsima ayuda. PodrÃa decir que hace el 95 por ciento del trabajo pesado.

Review: I've been playing with it for a month now, and it was so fun... now, when I'm cleaning the counter tops in the kitchen I just push everything on the floor tell Google to clean the kitchen and voila... 8 min later it's all done. I mapped my 1st floor in one "Vacuum everything" and one mapping run... pretty efficient. Everything worked on 1st try, I am very satisfied. I would say that the s9+ is very pricey and maybe the s7 would have done the trick, but I have a dog that sheds a lot and carpet in the basement, so I opted for the S9+ because of its stronger suction... hope I won't regret it in the long run.5 stars because it's a piece of tech that worked without problem for me... if you can afford it, you won't regret it. If you are looking for something less expansive, try the s7... my brother has it and he's very happy with it... he doesn't own a dog tho.

Review: 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!!

Review: Vacuum works wonders, app works good, clean Dock can be switched on and connect with the robot vacuum only thing is the clean Dock is unable to clear the vacuum. Keep getting error message but roomba services can't help as this roomba isn't bought locally.
