Excellent device, but the software could use improvements.

First, the iRobot app only functions in portrait mode, which is perfect for the iPhone, but not great when using a 12.9” iPad Pro. It shouldn’t be that difficult for the app programmers to make an interface that works in landscape mode (like almost every other app for iOS).The more important issue I have with my Roomba and Braava (which I use nearly every day) is that there is no apparent way to revert to previous maps or edit rooms in maps. What happens is that the maps will become corrupted when the robot gets stuck or turned around and spins in place for a while. Then, the robot will update the existing map with what it thinks is a new space or room. After a while, I have so many fake, ‘ghost’ rooms in my map that I have to delete it and start again. NOTE: I FIND IT IRRITATING TO HAVE TO GO THROUGH ‘EXPLORE’ MODE AGAIN AND AGAIN. For future versions of the app, I would recommend: 1) don’t let my Roomba/Braava update its working map unless I approve of the proposed changes or have it make the changes on a new copy of the working map; 2) give me the option of editing and deleting any added, fake rooms or spaces within the map; 3) **as a minimum** store at least a couple of previous map versions in the app that I can restore if needed.UPDATE: customer support contacted me and told me I could go through my ‘History’, choose a good map and select ‘Update Map.’ This will replace the corrupted map with a known good one. Unfortunately when I tried this work-around, I received a “Something is not quite right” error. It said the map might be corrupted and it did not work for me.

Looks brand new but did not work.

This Roomba was well packaged and when I opened it, it looked new. Unfortantly it did not work. It did not charge at all I left it on the charger over night. I lucky had another old J7 Roomba so I took the battery out of it and put it in the new one. It charged right up and I was able to sync it to my account. But then it would travel about 3 feet and tell me there was a suction problem. After replacing the filter it still ran into the same issues. So I went back to my old Roomba and took off the roller tray that has the suction motor on it. It has been rocking and rolling for three days now. I do understand it is "Renewed" but the battery voltage was reading 0 volt. I dont think it was tested at all. I would have returned it but I have it working (Granted with my own parts) and don't want to deal with shipping it back.
