There are so many things wrong with this vacuum, I don't know where to start. First, I have all hard floors, open floor concept and keep things cleaned up. It's about 2000 sq ft of vacuuming. First, the battery is very small, costs $90 to replace, and only works for about 6 months. This is the same in all Roombas. It constantly has connection problems. Smart mapping always has to be done 3+ times, and it still misses rooms. It doesn't dump into the bin properly, low suction at the end of a cycle. It wanders aimlessly for a long time, not cleaning. Mapping and cleaning cannot happen at the same time. It takes more than 8 hours to vacuum my entire house with 3 stops to recharge the battery. It gets lost, stuck and doesn't work way more often than it does work. I waste ... MoreThere are so many things wrong with this vacuum, I don't know where to start.

It gets lost, stuck and doesn't work way more often than it does work. I waste hours upon hours of time to restart, reboot, mess with the app, clean the thing out, etc. I've had it for less than 1.5 years, and replacing the battery recently, did not fix the problems. I would never get a Roomba again, as they clearly have not bothered to debug any of their issues. They just come out with a new gimmick to sell new vacuums, but they have the same old problems. Oh, and it's extremely loud and annoying.

GAME CHANGER FOR PARENTS! I’ve had this for just over a year. Absolutely game changer to help keep my house clean. For reference, I’ve got a 3 & 4 year old, who are very rambunctious, and a 90lbs German Shepherd.My floor is a mix between carpet, rugs, and wood flooring. Our robot cleans it all every night. My kids know when it’s time for bed because the robot goes off, and I wake up to clean floors.I live out in the country, and dirt, hair, leaves, whatever you can think of gets tracked into the house. This thing cleans it all!It’s wonderful having one less thing to have to worry about as a parent. I know the price seems steep, but it’s totally worth it. I had the regular roomba before, but cleaning out the dust bin every time it was full was getting annoying. ... MoreGAME CHANGER FOR PARENTS! I’ve had this for just over a year.

I had the regular roomba before, but cleaning out the dust bin every time it was full was getting annoying. This one will go empty it’s own dust bin then go right back to cleaning!I have had no issues with my robot since I purchased it. The app is wonderful because I get a notification if “roomba is stuck”, and I can just go pull out whatever toy it tried to eat and it’ll keep going. It charges every day, so I literally never have to think about my floors.Bonus tip: my kids clean up their toys every night, otherwise “the robot might eat it”. Literally, this is the best purchase for parents.

This bundle is amazing and would be a great addition to any home that has a combination of hard floors and carpet.Starting with the Roomba i3+...First, I have to say it's an amazing device and if you have pets, kids or a lot of in/out traffic, I would definitely say this is a good investment because it will keep your floors much cleaner without as much effort!Of course that doesn't mean you set it and forget it.. there are still a few things you need to do.. first you still need to pick up small toys or objects as these can cause issues with the robot.. the small dog rope toys are the worst and the robot gets stuck on them and tries to suck them up. Second, I'd make sure you don't have your dogs out/free as if there is an "accident" I do think really bad ... MoreThis bundle is amazing and would be a great addition to any home that has a combination of hard floors and carpet.Starting with the Roomba i3+...First, I have to say it's an amazing device and if you have pets, kids or a lot of in/out traffic, I would definitely say this is a good investment because it will keep your floors much cleaner without as much effort!Of course that doesn't mean you set it and forget it.. there are still a few things you need to do.. first you still need to pick up small toys or objects as these can cause issues with the robot.. the small dog rope toys are the worst and the robot gets stuck on them and tries to suck them up. Second, I'd make sure you don't have your dogs out/free as if there is an "accident" I do think really bad things could happen with that accident and cause the worst unimaginable mess you can think of. I personally haven't experienced it but have heard others who have and this unit is no different where it tries to run over and suck up small rubber toys and small rope toys!In our house, we have a combination of area rugs, hard floors and carpet throughout the area upstairs. So far, it's handled the rugs and floors just fine and it definitely does suck up dust, hair and dirt/stuff that's tracked inside. What is cool is that you can direct the robot to clean specific rooms once you have it setup and it's learned your floors/rooms and you can control it via wifi or your smart assistant. It also senses really dirty areas and will go back over them to clean it up. There's a lot of high tech stuff crammed into it because it senses walls, furniture, drop offs and larger/heavier items on the floor. There is one threshold in our house it has trouble with because it's fairly high so that's the one thing I wish Roomba would do is come up with a sensor that could sense that and lift the front of the bot up to navigate across or up on to a rug that's higher off the hard floor. Best part of this unit is it empties itself in to the bin making it much easier to clean up and helping it last much longer between when you have to do maintenance such as emptying it or cleaning rollers as you would with nearly any other vacuum. Also, It does work as advertised and does not fall down our stairs, which is a huge plus.Now, for the Braava jet...I thought this concept was cool and it really does work by helping keep dust off your floors and will help keep them clean by keeping the grime cleaned up. I have noticed it now after using different pads that depending on the pads it does seem to leave streaks/marks where it's been. That's one thing that I don't care for as it makes your floors look like they are dirty when they are not. This could just be the cleaning solution but either way I don't like how it looks. In addition, if you have rugs on your hard floors, and don't pick them up this thing doesn't deal with them well in all scenarios. It does sense them so it won't mop a rug but it could cause the robot to not clean beyond that rug or around it. Perhaps that's something they can update to help the robot "learn" where all your rugs are so it cleans around them and uses it sensors with that learned map to navigate around them.To fix this, I'd recommend setting it on a schedule so all you have to do is pickup your rugs after Roomba vacuums the rooms. What I did is set one to do it Thursday and the mop to do it's duty on Friday when no one is home (which both of these can sense and will stop if someone is home). If you have problems with the streaking, I would recommend using a different pad, and specifically a reusable pad and then reduce how much cleaning solution I use or mix it with water. I wish that Roomba would include their own recommendations on how to work through these challenges as I'm sure there are many others who have the same issues and you shouldn't have to "figure it out" when it's such a large investment to get these machines.These machines do work and work well together to help keep your house clean and make it so you don't have to deep clean as often, especially if you have pets or lots of in/out traffic through your home. If you have hard floors, I would say it's essential because it cuts down on dust dramatically and can go under furniture, in corners and near walls is most cases to clean where dust tends to accumulate (especially in a bedroom with hard floors).The Roomba app makes it easy to setup and manage your robots and set schedules, control them and monitor status/progress and connect them to your smart assistant. In addition you get voice control so you can control your Roomba with your voice as well. Both machines are well built and packed with high-tech sensors designed to deal with most common situations/enviornments.Overall, this is a great bundle and a worthwhile investment. I wouldn't say it would completely "replace" a mop and vacuum but definitely will keep your house cleaner than it would otherwise be without them as you can have them do daily cleanings and even spot cleaning to save you time/effort.
