IRobot Roomba i3 EVO Robot Vacuum

Confirm the i3 works great with the self empty station, even if using the self empty station from the iRobot subscription plan. To convert, you have to also buy the self emptying dust bin, $30-40. Easy to set up, just place the new i3 on the station to charge and then continue setup as normal on your phone. Unit was in perfect condition. This price is a steal, buy this!

I had some trouble at first getting it to pair with my App. I reset it a few times by holding down all 3 buttons until it beeped and it eventually worked. I saw some comments that is does not work with the self empty base. That is not exactly true. If you have an iseries base, you will just need the dust bin with the flap. Once the correct bin is attached, just start the job from the clean base and it will automatically empty. I swapped the bin off my old i7+ and it worked. So far I think this works better than the i7. Especially on my rugs.

RUN! Whoever designed its mapping algorithm should change careers. The Roomba is a terrible option. It only knows how to do the edges of maps and get stuck on them. It just circles the perimeter over and over along the edges and refuses to actually clean the center of the room. It wanders off into rooms clearly not on the selected map and then can't find its way back. I can't put into words just how incompetent it is, and this is every version of Roomba I've ever had. This is the last one. Don't buy this brand of you want a clean house.

Nice machine only, needs to be cleaned more than expected

I use it daily in a one bedroom apartment. It has a strong vacuum and picks up all the dust from the floor effectively. The amount of dust it collects in the dust bin is impressive. I have hard wood floors and some carpets. It seamlessly moves through the apartment and parks itself. Seeing it shimmy itself back into its docking station is fun also. Had it for two years and it’s easy to set up without you needing to be a techno super savvy person is what makes it the best vacuum I’ve ever owned. The replacement parts are not hard to replace and affordable. The app lets you know the health of replacement components and notifies you when it’s time to replace them. When it gets jammed up it alerts you. It also shows you within the app how to fix it. Great product and I bought the refurbished model and couldn’t be more happy with the product.

I was skeptical but this robot helps me to much with cleaning and how much it cleans up. So easy to use out of the app. It took about a hour to map my house so it was quick. One thing that I have had issues is that it has disconnected from my wifi a bit but i still find it worth it

The vacuum itself works great. I put it upstairs and it was quick to figure out the cleaning pattern and it did a great job of getting the dog hair up. It gets a 3-star rating because it wouldn't connect to my Wi-Fi. I bought a 'renewed' one (I'm cheap) and thought it was just still broken so I returned it. But, I bought a NIB replacement and that wouldn't connect either. Tier one of iRobot tech support was somewhat helpful and led me to believe the problem is that this version of the machine only works with a 2.4ghz network whereas mine is 5ghz (note, my old iRobot still works fine on this network). They elevated the issue to Tier-2 support, and five days later I still hadn't heard a thing from them even after calling tech support twice to see what was up. They need to do better...now I'm looking at the Shark machines.

I bought this refurbished Roomba with apprehension that it may have missing or broken parts, or have dust in the filter / bin. But I love it! It looks brand new, doesn't have any scratches or anything on it, and all the functionalities of the normal i3 are there (home mapping and room labeling / good suction power / integration with Alexa and Google). It does a great job at figuring out how to get out of places where it gets stuck, and at deep cleaning dining rooms even when the chairs move about every day. Would definitely recommend.

Although I had a few hiccups in operating it, I persevered and figured out its little quirks. LOVE this thing!! She has a name and I warn the dogs that “Zoey” is coming and they should scatter. They leave it alone which makes us all happy. My dogs love to be outside and bring tons of dirt into the house. Zoey picks up the dirt and the dog hair and does a phenomenal job. My only issue is that she does so well (better than my regular vacuum) that I have to empty the bin frequently. Don’t mind - better than me doing the vacuuming. I recommend this if you have dogs.

I bought this product renewed on Prime Day deal and knew there could be an issue. I was reassured that there was a 90 day return policy. After 8 weeks, the IROBOT just died. Keep in mind I use it maybe every other day and empty it every time I use it. I have a 1200 sf apartment (no pets, just me). I contacted Amazon and they said I needed to contact IROBOT customer service. So I called IROBOT customer service and they told me that that product was "out of stock" (even though it is not out of stock on Amazon at their store, ok sure), and they would "let me know" in 7-10 business days if they could send out a replacement. I never heard from them, so I called them again. This time they said they could send out an i6 instead and that I could just send back the defective product. I did recieve the i6 and upon opening notice that there was no battery, nor a charging station. So I placed the battery from the dead one and tried to charge the "new" one. Dead. I called customer service and spent about 45 minutes performing "testing" involving sending them photos and different things to see what was wrong. It was determined that they did not know and I would need to mail in the replacement for their repair shop to "test" it to see what was wrong. At this point, my floors really needed vacuuming (3 weeks now) and I had 2 dead IROBOTS that were useless to me. I asked for my money back (I bought the item from the IROBOT Store on Amazon) and they told me to call Amazon. So I called Amazon and they said that IROBOT would make me pay for shipping and a restocking fee to return it and then I could send Amazon proof of this payment and make a request for a refund. Really good on Amazon to offer to give me my money back, but I don't think I really have any faith in IROBOT as a company nor their products. So, buy at your own risk and make sure that you have some type of backup way to vacuum your floors.
