I bought this to try and contain some of my dog hair. I have some carpet and some hard wood. The suction is mediocre at best. It works better on the wood floor. It is terrible on carpet. Even at the max suction setting it leaves hair behind as well as dirt and anything else your floors accumulate. It only does half of the house and it gets stuck on everything. It also continues to use the battery so that when you do come home and pull it out from whatever it's stuck on, it's dead. It also takes forever to charger. Like 5+ hours when completely dead. If you have stand up fans, phone cords, or any other small items make sure they're out of the way. Also, when it starts a job, and it's the same thing it did yesterday and the day before " why I said it only does half the house", when you pick it up to move it to the portion of the house that it didn't do, it will automatically return home. You can't cancel it from returning home in the app either. I am so disappointed in this product. For something that costs as much as these do I would have imagined it being somewhat of a smart device. 0 out of 10. Would not recommend to anyone.

Have a new room roomba j9 with a cleaning base issue. Called iRobot and then they say this is a safety issue and it has to be escalated to that department to handle it. After getting a list of request from that department I haven't heard anything. If this is such a safety issue then why has no one handle it. It's under warranty but yet I can get the base exchanged out. Only 2 months old and has become a doorstop not good for anything else. The charging prong on the clean base is malfunctioned and can't get anyone at iRobot to handle my issue. When it worked it was great but dealing with the warranty department is a waste of time. I advise don't purchase because if you have a warranty issue it will never be addressed
Gets lost and stuck every time I don't know how it's so bad

I bought a Roomba in November of '23 and by January '25 it would no longer take a charge. I spent 2 hours on the phone with customer service who said they would fix it then reneged and said it was out of warranty. Another case worker picked it up when I complained and asked for more pictures only to not respond after that. Feels like a known issue that the company refuses to own and fix. If I used the vacuum 15 times would have been the max in the year and a quarter that I had it. Very little use to break and no longer charge... I will never recommend getting one and I suggest you save your money.

We loved this product for the first month - one of the best purchases we've made. Then came multiple errors and issues every time we used it. It was such a disappointment. When it finally broke for good after 5 months - it wouldn't hold a charge, iRobot would not send a replacement, even though customer service confirmed the robot would not hold a charge. We had to send it back in to get repaired. Estimate is 4 weeks. Still don't have it back. The concept is great, but unfortunately the software and reliability isn't there yet. I would not recommend to buy.

I was really hoping this roomba j9+ would work out for me. Unfortunately it's absolutely NOT worth the money I spent. I decided to give it a try for several months to give an accurate review. I bought it in August 2024. For starters it says it picks up pet hair. False! I have 1 dog and all it does is drag the hair all around the house. It's loud and and I can't get it to go along side the baseboards even though there is a setting for it. It's also a bit wide so it doesn't clean underneath furniture like my old one did. The only great thing about it is the self dumping feature. I do like the mapping feature as well. I had a different brand before which I paid under $200. It worked WAY better than this irobot. It was quiet and thin enough to go under my furniture.The only reason I upgraded (so I thought I was upgrading) was because It didn't have a self dumping feature.

The iRobot with the mob feature first off, never works nearly as well as the base model, secondly would stop on my hardwoods with the mop down leaving permanent marks on my floor but worst of all, the station leaked for months through my nice rug onto my hardwoods buckling the wood and ruining the rug. Spent 4 months in back and forth thinking iRobot will help, but instead, after reviewing all of my photos, decided their machine couldn't do that damage. Yet the stain happens to be directly under my base and zero other water source is present in the room.

I was gifted this vaccum, I used it for a couple of months, then faced a problem with the self empty feature. I could not figure out what the problem was so I contacted customer support after I had completed troubleshooting on my own. Customer support asked me for purchase confirmation, which I did not have as it was gifted to me. I could not get my hands on the purchase confirmation, and so they said they cannot help me, and that I would need to pay for the repair.

I started using my Roomba 692 in Dec 2023. It actually worked well for just over a year. It suddenly stopped working in Feb 2025. They determined it was a KNOWN ISSUE with the dust bin. And even thought it is a known defective part, they are putting it on me to replace because it is just a couple months out of warty. In my opinion you should save money with a less expensive option, if the "top of the line" guy Isn't going to stand by their product more than the bare minimum.

This is the worst vacuum. Instead of making things easier and convenient it makes it a c9mplete nightmare! It constantly sits in one space for 20 minutes saying it's vacuuming when it's not. It takes hours for it to start vacuuming one room because it just goes back and forth and everywhere else in the house where it's NOT set to vacuum. If it hits a teeny bump it thinks is it's on a cliff and Freaks out, however, when it hits a 2 inch bar on the bottom of a chair we have it Rams itself repeatedly until it forces itself to get stuck. And this is just a couple of the ridiculous problems. Waste of money. This product is the biggest piece of crap. I wouldn't even gift this to my worst enemy!

Painfully Loud

Rusty - 2 months ago

It's so loud that your ears will ring after it empties its bin. I wanted to like this device because it cleans well, but the noise it makes when emptying sounds like a jet engine starting up—and I know this because I used to work on aircraft. I measured the noise with my phone using a sound app, and even though the app isn't calibrated, it recorded 86.3 dB at five feet away, even when I wasn't in the direct line-of-sight of the noise source. Normally, I wouldn't mind if it made this noise as long as I wasn't around; I'd simply set it to empty its bin when nobody is home. However, the app does not allow you to change that setting. Instead, every time it completes a cleaning run, this jet-engine-like vacuum starts to empty its bin. As an engineer, I'm amazed that this thing ever made it out of development with this much noise.

Robot stopped communicating with the cloud. Numerous calls to support. Tried resetting, tried setting up 2 g network just for robot, tried everything robot support suggested. I was finally sent to special assistance who was to remove both bots and I could try adding as new. I have waited 24 hrs to no avail. Called support again and was told this process may take two to three days and they would email me instructions. I think this is bad service

I've had nothing but issues with this device. It barely can finish a vacuuming cycle without randomly having to restart. Most of the time it will do half of the job and quit. When it does work, it always returns to the base and states there's a clog error (even though there's nothing clogged -- following the support documentation is worthless). The support is pretty weak, and at this point the only reason it's not being returned is because I threw out the packaging. My first ever Roomba worked for a long time, something changed and these machines are garbage. 100% will try another company

I purchased a Roomba, hoping for a seamless experience, but unfortunately, it has been a huge letdown. The primary issue I faced was that I couldn't connect the Roomba to my WiFi, despite the fact that my Peloton is just a few feet away and connects to the WiFi perfectly fine. What made the situation even worse was the customer service. I reached out multiple times, expecting a quick resolution, but the response time was far longer than what I was told it would be. After finally getting a reply, they didn't offer any real help to fix the problem. The lack of support was incredibly frustrating and only added to my disappointment. Overall, I expected much better from a well-known brand like Roomba. Unfortunately, the product didn't live up to expectations, and the customer service experience only made things worse. I won't be purchasing from them again.
