Ratings and reviews

This app is horrible. It constantly loses connection to my vacuum and I have to add the vacuum back and reset it. Update: Found out from support that if you have an i3+, your needs to be connected to a 2.5g Wi-Fi connection. If you have a dual band router like I do you have to set your router to split the bands. Did this and I was able to connect again. Update2: app is very glitchy. Constantly still loses connection with the robot and has to be reset. Very unreliable.

I had mine bought specifically with animal hair in mind. It does ok at sweeping, it might as well be a door stop when it comes to carpet. I've tried anti-static spray, too. It seems to lose connection a lot, and I write this review after I told it to run, and it stopped mid-process, and didn't register that it made an attempt at all, so, much more difficult to find out the problem. For the price, and the hype of all the work it would save me, I don't have to sweep my hardfloors as much, I guess.

Ok. Compared to my 7 years old deebot: I like that it good straight lines so appears to be efficient. But it's obvious the roomba does not pick up as much dirt. The little brush hidden under the dirt case is very convenient. This is a very basic model, so it's not very smart. It gets lost if I try to do multiple rooms. The cleaning map rarely shows where the base is.
