iRobotRoomba I3 (3150) Wi-Fi Connected Robot Vacuum Vacuum - Wi-Fi Connected Mapping, Works With Alexa, Ideal For Pet Hair, Carpets, Woven NEUtral

Higher models have what I need. But this is super awesome at its price point

Product came in damaged box, re-sealed and incomplete packing material inside the box. Definitely not at IRobot quality standards… product doesn’t look new, fortunately I bought one year extra warranty… let’s see

For the first week of ownership, we were disappointed in the robots random movements, but we had read in other reviews that it needs some time to explore and update itself, so we gave it a chance. The more it explored, the more software updates were downloaded, and the more efficiently it performed. Here are the pros and cons of owning this model:PROS:- Software updates that have greatly improved the i3's capabilities.-- Scheduled automatic cleaning is easy to setup in the app.- Unlike the more expensive Roomba models, it works in the dark. Lights off? curtains closed? No problem.- Sucks up a lot of dirt, lint, and hair from our floors. Long hair (we have a lot) collects at the ends of his rollers and is easily removed.- We have 2 steps down from the main level to our family room. It vacuums to the edge, but has never jumped.- The app isn't needed for a cleaning. For our family room, we don't use the app. We just set it in the room, press the button and away it goes, cleaning in an efficient manner.- Durable. Sucked up a USB cord and a sun hat string that had been left out on the floor. These items got tangled up, jamming the robot and causing it to shut down, but no damage was done.- Widely available replacement parts... for a day may a come when his little mustache stops whisking dirt into his big suck face.CONS- It took 5 days of assigning it to "clean everywhere" before it accurately mapped our single-story 1500sf home, then allowed me to divide up and label rooms/areas, and the ability to assign it to clean specific rooms.- It can't clean our whole house in one charge. It goes back to the station recharges itself and then finishes the job.- The main con is having patience with the robot exploring and the software updates (my experience below). It will take some time for all of the features to become available. Make sure you have strong Wi-Fi signal throughout your house and send the robot out on cleaning runs and the updates will happen.Software Updates:- The app and the robot started with limited functionality. After doing a few whole house cleanings over 3 days, it started getting updates and more features were added to the app. It took another few days before it was fully updated and had an accurate floor plan. While it was cleaning it was also doing a lot of exploring, going back over the same areas, pausing to ponder the universe, etc. I think this was part of preparation for the next software update regarding the mapping. After cleaning all accessible areas of my house a few times, a map appeared on the app and asked me if it was accurate or if the robot should remap my house. Some parts of rooms were cut off or shaped weird, but I clicked "accept" anyway. It then prompted me to add/delete partition lines to divide the house up into rooms. The lines can be moved any direction and rotated 360° so you have good control over creating different areas. After doing a few more whole house cleanings the map updated itself and accurately represented our floor plan.In the end I'm glad we had patience with it. It cleans great now and it's efficient.

Pros:- Cleans almost everywhere and moves in straight rows.- Slows down before hitting a wall or obstacle, most of the times.- Almost never get stuck. Doesn't need my intervention. Happened once since I've got it. (a month and a half)- Works well with Google Assistant.- Deep cleans carpets and rugs. *Perhaps too much.- App is simple enough and works well for what I need (schedules).- I'll be honest: I've owned the i3 for a month and a half now and I haven't used my "real" vacuum since. My floor are always clean now. I'm lazy and happy.Cons:- *Will be too rough on wool or other delicate fabric carpets/rugs- Hair (long) rolls in around front wheel and rubber brushes bearings. I clean it every other day. (very easy to do)- The Edge-Sweeping Brush with scatter some debris around since it's going very fast but chances are the i3 will pick them up after so it's not a big con.Note:-I suggest keeping a cluster-free floor as this thing will eat everything small enough in its way. It has very good suction! In my case, it ate a small cat toy, once. Just remove all small stuff from your floor and let the i3 do its thing. If that's too much work for you, go for the new Roomba J7.-If you want to be able to clean specifics room and not your entire floor each time, go for the Roomba i7. EDIT: This is not true anymore as the i3 have the mapping feature now and can clean one room at the time if needed. Also, it is possible to create schedules using your rooms in the app.

Funciona muy bien y si limpia. Algo que vi en videos y si es cierto es que no limpia tan bien en las orillas vs otras rumbas, pero si la quieres para mantener limpio, es una muy buena opción. No tiene la función de ir a limpiar un lugar especifico de tu casa, pero si te hace el mapa para que puedas ver que limpia. Al final, si quieres que limpie un lugar especifico, solo la tienes que llevar y prenderla en ese lugar.

My wife and I bought this one after our off brand Roomba kept getting stuck, getting hair tangled every single day (We have 3 short hair dogs, apparently all it took for the knock off to stop working was 3 strands of my wife’s hair) constant errors, and not cleaning in neat organized lines (It was advertised as having both straight line cleaning, and mapping capabilities, which was a huuuuugeeee lie which would always result in a unique Picasso style painting on the rare occasions it would actually finish the job)So after dealing with that mess for a year I decided enough was enough, and got to work looking for a replacement. I was stuck between this Roomba, and the Bisselle brand. Ultimately we settled on this one as it is capable of returning to the charger to recharge, and continue the job when it’s ready (This works amazingly well) right out of the box this felt significantly more premium, had some good weight to it, and looked absolutely quality. I had work that morning (Had it delivered at 6 A.M.) so I quickly set it up, and scheduled it to clean. As I was leaving for work I heard it kick on, it’s very quiet on carpet to the point you won’t notice it (It is however extremely loud of hard floor) I left for work and started my day.5hours later (It was 5 hours for 2 reasons, the first being it had almost no battery out of the box, so it had to charge twice, the second being there was quite a bit of heavy dust in the carpets that the knock off brand had left, nowadays it finishes in 3 hours) I get a notification on my phone saying it completed the job, I took a look at the map of the downstairs and was impressed at how well mapped it was being about 98% accurate. I got home from work and was impressed at just how clean and neat the carpet was, it looked like when we first bought the house! With all the dust gone the carpet felt noticeably softer, and I almost felt bad stepping on the clean carpet.I went to check the Roomba, it had picked up and incredible amount of dirt and hair (I got on the floor and tried to pick out any loose strand of hair our husky shed, after trying in 8 different places I only found 2 strands of hair) Amazed, I flipped over the Roomba to check the rollers, once again I was shocked at how good of a job it did, having only had 3-4 strands of my wife’s hair wrapped around the brushes (These came off easily, to this day I haven’t had any of her hair tangled around the brushes again)So far both my wife and I are absolutely amazed by this little guy. I would highly recommend this, and will absolutely be purchasing the mopping Roomba when we replace the carpet with hard floor.Pros-- Does the job right- Quiet on carpet- Battery life doesn’t matter since it can return to the charger- Extremely thorough- Brushes do an amazing job making up for low suction power- Decent sized recovery tank, and great design for easy disposal- Great mapping- Neat straight linesCons-- Very loud on hard floors- Recovery tank could be a bit bigger- Dual sweeping brushes would be nice- Stays half an inch away from the very edges, meaning the baseboards aren’t cleaned properly- Occasionally have to take the rollers off to clean the hair inside them (Still far better than our knock off brand Roomba)
