This should be the REAL starter Roomba that people buy.
I had two Roomba 692’s which I used to clean my 1100 Sqft split level townhome. And even though they used the older “bounce” style navigation, were still effective cleaners. However, they tended to attack dirt and furniture with equal ferocity. That’s why foam rubber bumpers for Roomba’s are a thing you can actually buy here on Amazon.The 600’s got the job done, it’s just that it wasn’t always pretty.Enter the i3. It’s a master class in refinement. Not only does the i3 smartly navigate the home, but it is much more gentle on your furniture. It deftly figured out how to navigate the maze of table legs underneath my kitchen table, and it no longer attempts to leap over the stabilizing arm of my coffee table, like Bigfoot crushing a row of cars. It also seems to better cope with “low clearance” issues. It seems more cautious when entering tight fits and less likely to get stuck.Even the fit and finish of the I3 is a cut above. The textured plastic on the top looks like a cloth finish and is resistant to finger prints. The dirt bin has been redesigned to be “rinsed” so that it can be more easily cleaned. The i3 has higher suction while actually producing less noise. The rollers are also easier to clean of Pet Hair.The clean report at the end tells you exactly where it cleaned, and it’s smart navigation allows for charge and resume, which is great for larger floorplans, or if you want the robot to simply do two passes for a given job.Since it knows where it’s already cleaned, it finishes it’s jobs in about half the time that the random navigation 600’s do. And of course you don’t get a detailed clean report with the 600’s.The i3 is also compatible with the self emptying clean bin, and when paired with a Braava m6 mop, will automatically tell the mop to begin a cleaning job when it is done vacuuming. These are some great future proofing aspects.However, there are a few things you need to keep in mind.The lack of an upward facing camera, might ally some folk’s privacy concerns regarding robot vacuums, but it also prevents the use of “smart mapping” and the ability to label rooms in a house, direct the robot to clean specific rooms, or the use of virtual “keep out zones”. These advanced features are only available on the i7 and S9.The App does allow you to schedule cleanings, even multiple cleanings in a day. It also allows you use the location services on your phone to start a job when you leave the house. The App will keep a history of your last 30 cleanings, so you can review the clean maps from each one to see where your high traffic areas are.The ability to set the robot to clean multiple passes during a job, however, is a “global” setting in the app. It would be nice if this feature could be set for individual scheduled jobs, or “favorites”.As it stands, the i3 is hindered by it’s current position. It is hampered by the 600 series lower price, but users who want more advanced robots typically will pay full boat and get the more feature rich i7 or s9.iRobot should really position the i3 as it’s entry level bot. It offers great cleaning capability, refined navigation, detailed clean reports, compatibility with a self emptying bin and it’s M6 mop. It’s the perfect starting point for iRobot’s product line. Leave the Random Navigation to the cheap knock offs.

If your thinking about a mop vac just buy this one! You won’t be sorry!
This is my third IRobot, I love how easy it is to set up, it’s performance, and price. I bought the mop version this time and can’t believe how well it cleans. I’m so happy to have this one, I have a big dog and “Rosie” keeps all dog mud paws cleaned up for me. It picks up everything, no problem and the mop feature is very thorough. Love this vac.

Like caring for a toddler…
Where to begin? Out of 100+ comments I can think of (as a robotics professor, with all my degrees from MIT), here are my top 7:7. Very often, it’s clear the robot “knows something I do not know”. Specifically, it will cut a job short and “go home” without sending any sort of message (to the phone app) about what has gone wrong. (Spoiler alert: it’s usually an “empty the bin” warning situation. But really, it’s not that the bin needs to be emptied; it’s instead that you need to “tap out” the dust from the detachable filter thingy, which is a sub-part of the dustbin you take out…6. Take out the “rollers” regularly, to untangle hair. (They’re the light green and dark green rollers, on the underside. Detaching isn’t particularly intuitive; there’s a small, green lever-button, to push sideways.) Check and de-hair/de-fur both ends of both rollers, most especially, as well as the main/central roller parts. Learn how to manage various release and re-insertion techniques, via practice, b/c they are not designed in a way that would make them intuitive or obvious.) Do similar checks, regularly, on the various wheels and that three-pronged brush-whisker thingy, that you can more easily see on the underside, too.5. Despite previously having mapped the “house”, and being told to stay ON this map, only, occasionally Toto (whom we perhaps should have named “Dora”) goes rogue. It goes into “exploring” mode – yet this adds absolutely nothing to the “mapping”, for this (low-grade) iRobot model (i3 Evo). i.e., it knows it’s mapping something new, but it cannot just “add this to the existing map” (sigh). It just means Toto/Dora inexplicably wanders and is thereby likely to tangle into cords or shoelaces or similar, despite your very best efforts to have told it, “Please don’t go outside this region, sweetie!”. i.e., do not trust your “map” will be paid attention too, sadly…4. About that “initial mapping” deal/experiance. It’s – really, really terrible. The worst part is that you’ll simply have no idea “if things are going as expected or not” until it has completed some Byzantine process, on its own (with you out of this loop, entirely). Also, definitely expect to have to do that via a few attempts, and then breath calmly, recognizing “it is not you; it’s the stupid robot.” If you lift the robot (to help it, when it gets stuck) or touch it in any way, it doesn’t give you any warning “things are now bad, and this map won’t work” – but also, then the map totally doesn’t come out in the end, either. So, stay calm and just assume it is very, very, very, very stupid. Do yoga poses, or something. Stay calm. 😉 What I did was: clear out EVERYTHING that might tangle. Block all hallway access points, via large, immovable physical blockades. Take all chairs and pull them off the floor. Limit the search space to 1,000 sq feet or so, max. This finally got a map, for me. Then all was good (kind of; see item 6, before), and you finally MIGHT get a map and can then section it into sub-regions.3. Do not run the robot unless you are around to monitor it. It can get way, way off, on the map. Also, it routinely gets into a mode where it thinks the dustbin is full (before it truly is), then runs home and sits there. Which is fine – but there is never any message on my darn phone – nor via audio from the robot – when this happens. So, Toto/Dora just “gets an idea in their head” and goes off-script, with no explanation. Be prepared that this will happen – frequently. Again, treat Toto/Dora like a toddler, with a lot of patience required.2. So, there’s this assuming thing that happens where pet fur gets rolled into a little tuft, but doesn’t get picked up. This is better that nothing. Be prepared to walk around any carpeted areas, picking up the tufts. Or just pull out a vacuum, to snarf them en masse, after a robo-run.1. Be sure to “tap out” the filter! When you “empty the bin” – DO NOT JUST “EMPTY THE BIN”. You also need to pull out the little, white filter thingy (with all those crenulations or whatever – the diagonally-peaked features, of the little filter). You can pull that filter out. Go “whack, whack, whack!” on the side of a hard surface (inside the kitchen sink, or inside a trashcan – although works better with a more rigid surface, thus the kitchen sink suggestion there). Totodora was barfing up for quite a while, on day 4 or so of running, before I figured this out. (Sigh…)Aside from those minor details and concerns, great(?) product.Well, I mean shucks – I am actually pulling out the vacuum and sweeping the floor now. So I am getting exercise, and the house is definitely more clean the past week or so that we’ve used it. :-]

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.

The robot vaccum itself is great! It connecta to you wifi and than you can control it at home or when you are out of the house. The mapping is great, it takes 2-3 days than the vaccum knows where to go. It is also very powerful. I had sone robot before but the suction was bad and the floor was still dirty after two hours of cleaning. The price is great! I purchased a used one and I think it was defective already because it worked for 2 weeks only and I had to return it but I am pretty sure the issue was with the unit I got and not the product itself. Looking to buy one again on black friday or bozing day but a new one this time!

Little noisy but major upgrade from our last pet series. The mapping feature works flawlessly and with the new app support this device is perfect for a house.

The robot works well but it’s a little noizy. It needs to run more often to be able to recognize all the rooms perfectly.Exemple: After the first run for making the map of all the rooms, you ask the robot to go to a specific room (mention on the map) it can’t find it. It stay near the entrance of the room where it’s supposed to start sweeping but it doesn’t no where to go. It was ok for all the other rooms except one particular room. So, it has to do multiple run to learn the map entirely, or start all over again to create a new map. Also this robot is not able to move forward when there is a small threshold. But I think it’s not that bad for this robot at a reasonable price around $350. to $400.Overall the robot is fine, the app is restricted with some degree of imperfection, also the Roomba needs more sensors. But it’s ok for the price it’s worth.NOTE: I cannot say more about this product because i’ve only have this device for about 6 to 7 weeks.
