    Not the best

    Doesn’t work up to potential.

    Battery has a short lifespan!!!

    This “more updated” model is worse than my first 900 series Roomba. The battery started declining after the first year. It takes 3 additional charges to finish only my living room, dining room and kitchen area. It has to recharge before I move it to the master bedroom and bath. The battery costs $90, which is a little under half of another brand Im looking at buying that has a higher rating and a battery with a reviewed longer lifespan.

    Disable ‘Full Bin’ Sensors

    Works well. Much better than my old Roomba at avoiding objects and not getting tangled in cords and such. The only drawback is that the ‘bin-full’ detectors haze up with dust and falsely interpret that as a ‘bin full’ state, which ends the jobs prematurely. Fortunately you can disable these sensors and the Roomba will operate normally. I should have gotten a Clean Base to keep the Roomba operating long enough to clean the entire floor.

    Good vacuum

    I Love this Roomba vacuum because it will avoid pet poop. It also save me time from cleaning.

    Bad quality, broke within months. Service non responsive

    I received this and it died within a couple of months of use. Doesn’t work right, service was not helpful and now I am stuck with a broken machine. Very disappointing from iRobot. I had an off brand Chinese one before that worked better and lasted longer. iRobot, if you’re reading this, I hope you will change your mind and send me a new one as this doesn’t work.

    Received dirty and used vacuum

    Paid more money for a new vacuum but got a used one that didn’t charge. Covered in dust and had carpet fibers and hair in it. Wheel was dirty. Still had previous customers return label on the ripped box. It wouldn’t charge either.

    Its just bad

    The worst experience on top of a mediocre product. The product doesn’t work literally half the time I want to use it. Either the wifi wont connect, the robot didn’t dock and charge properly, or because I was logged out of my account. Yeah, you need to log in to use your vacuum. The robot does a poor job of picking up debris. It has a small bin. It doesn’t avoid obstacles as stated which was the main reason for me purchasing it. It requires an app to use instead of a remote control. The only positive I have found is you can control which rooms it cleans. I wish I would have returned this when I had the chance. I’ll stick to the cheap chinese knock offs that don’t want my personal information and are not mapping my house out with a camera.

    STOPPED WORKING PROPERLY IN ONE YEAR

    navigation / return back to base stopped functioning properly after 1 year. For the cost of this product, it should function properly for longer than a year! And I’ve kept up with the maintenance, changing filters, brushes, etc… (which is another substantial expense)!

    Frustrating junk

    Junk. Had it less than 4 months and it stopped workong. Had to send it in which is was replaced with a ‘new’ model which consider the scratches on it when I unpacked it, it was refurbished. Again junk. Attempted to run 1 map cycle, died, lost connectivity to Internet and now it’s useless. Can’t get it to reconnect to the wifi, won’t respond to any app requests. Tried to re-add it to the app and it’s like it doesn’t exist. The app won’t recognize that it’s even in the same room. Will not buy again. A huge waste of money

    Does a great job. Learning curve, poor directions.

    The media could not be loaded. Yes it works very well, maps house nicely, goes around things, does not continually bump into things, Directions written by know nothings and ;(&$-/” lawyers. direction are wrong and do not tell you to clean wheel housing, photo of wheel, need pliers to release. Sensirs need constant cleaning, so use paper towel with cleaner each time you empty the bin. My Labrador likes to get right into the path and challenge, it is funny.

    Stop performing.

    Worked great the first 8 months and then it began malfunctioning. I have reset it so many times and now it doesn’t even vacuum the areas I send it. It malfunctions more times than not. I replace the parts and clean it regularly. Going back to a traditional vacuum. Less headache.

    Subpar mop function

    The vacuum works well on tiles. On carpet, it struggles to pick up pet hair. It tends to leave balls of dog hairs where the carpet transitions to tiles. The mop function is pretty much useless. I have large ceramic tiles on the floor with wide grouts. On wet tiles, it simply gets stuck due to lack of traction. Also the mop pad is at the back of the vacuum, so you end up with continuous half circle spots along the edges where the mop pad does not reach.

    CHARGED a $195 restocking fee for a product that stopped working

    Was really pleased with the vacuum for a couple of weeks, however it quit charging. I thought I was doing something wrong, so tried multiple restarts and even got my daughter to try also. Returned to NextGen Tech specifically stating that the reason for return was that the vacuum stopped charging, HOWEVER was charged a restocking fee of $195.00 for a product that is not working. I have emailed the company multiple times, however they are standing firm on the restocking fee. I have also appealed to Amazon to intervene, however no action intervention from them either.

    Terrible customer service

    Six months after purchasing this product, I contacted support and they acknowledged that it was faulty. However, since I bought it from an unauthorized reseller on Amazon, it cannot be replaced. I will be going with Roborock instead. It’s no wonder that iRobot is losing market share to Chinese competitors. Their products are subpar, do not perform as well as others, and to make matters worse, they have terrible customer service.

    Get it with the self empty bin

    Love the vacuum, but has a couple of downfalls. 1. It tends to get lost and confused when using the mop attachment 2. It does struggle a bit with slightly larger items, like small rocks or cat food etc 3. If you don’t clean the filter every single time you vacuum, it will clog and have very poor suction. I assume that this problem would be solved if you had the self empty bin since it would suck the opposite way and clean the filter out that way. However the navigation, mapping, and overall vacuuming seems to do well. I do like this vacuum and would buy it again, However I would get it with the self empty bin if I were to do it over again. I don’t mind emptying the bin myself, but it is annoying that the filter clogs so quickly. To buy a self empty base and bin as an upgrade is roughly the same price as just buying a whole new one.

    Hope your iRobot doesn’t stop working after 21 days like mine

    My iRobot j5 was working fine until it tried to update the software. It started the update on its own and never stopped. Because it was updating, the iRobot stopped cleaning. I contacted iRobot and they talked me through the rebooting process but it didn’t work. The iRobot representative told me the iRobot was broken, could not be fixed, and to send it back. I contacted Amazon, told them I was returning the product and I was doing so under the advisement of iRobot. Amazon told me I could return the broken iRobot but they would NOT replace it with the same item I had just purchased. They offered to replace the j5 with a much cheaper iRobot that wasn’t nearly as good as the one I had already purchased. My other option was to receive a refund of the amount I paid for my iRobot j5 on Cyber Monday. Since I took advantage of a Cyber Monday sale and ended up with a product that had an issue that was beyond my control, I am unable to return a defective iRobot j5 for another j5 because the price has increased. This does not seem fair and I’m not sure how Amazon can get away with it. I guess my words of advice are be careful what you buy from Amazon when it’s on sale. Very disappointed in Amazon.

    After 1 year of use, very pleased with it

    I felt it was only appropriate to wait for a year of using this vacuum before reviewing it. I love it. It is an absolute game changer. I can only speak for the vacuuming because I’ve never tried the mopping. My only real complaints with it are battery life is kind of short, requires a charge within almost each job it does if it’s longer than an hour. Other than that no real issues. The app will occasionally lose my schedule (happened maybe 2x) which is a little annoying but not a huge deal. Most issues I’ve had with it have all been resolved with a simple reset. Nothing major speak about. Does a great job cleaning, doesn’t really get stuck that often. Maps pretty well and the smart predictions for the map are pretty cool. Made its own zone for the litter box and around the oven which was nice. Not super quiet… not extremely loud. You’re better off buying knock off replacement brushes and filters though. Overall I’d recommend.

    Far more trouble than worth even when it works

    After the first use, unit refused to clean giving a bin full error. When the bin was cleaned, it never go more than 5 feet before returning to the base with the same error. Tech support kept telling me that meant I wasn’t cleaning the sensors properly. I finally had to turn the sensors off. It consistently read the vacuum bin as the mop/vacuum bin combo. Repeated calls to tech support, resets, and reboots was never able to resolve the issue past the next use. The biggest problem has been an error for path blocked followed by a refusal to run. The last attempt to move it was to put it into an empty room that is 10 x 12 feet. It leaves the base, moves two feet, and then aborts cleaning. Repeated calls to tech support, resetting the map, rebooting, resetting the roomba has not been able to fix the issue past a few cleanings. Overall, it misses far more scheduled cleaning that it ever did. This is the second Roomba I have had. The first was a simple non-mapping type. I should have stuck with it.

    1YR Review – Doesn’t really work anymore

    I absolutely loved this Roomba “at first”. It did an excellent job of cleaning. Over the last year, one spinner is completely broken & it really doesn’t suck up anything like the beginning. It slowly started working worse and worse. I would say it was at its “best” for about 8 months. For the price, I thought it would last a few years… but I am looking at replacing after only 1 year of use. I did replace the filters and spinners as required. I don’t have kids. My home is only a 2 bed – 2 bath w no stairs. Worked amazing at the beginning. Just not built to last.

    Errors that cannot be cleared and parts that cannot be sourced to replace.

    I bought this product and it worked okay for awhile and less than one year i kept getting an error message to clean the bin which i kept doing. i contacted amazon and I got little help and was referred to the manufacturer and restarted the vacuum to try to clear error. One year later and I cannot get the part….So it really was a waste of money.

    Works well

    Happy with my purchase. I’ve occasionally flipped it over to pull out hairs that build up in the motors. It removes ALL dust from the floor. I’ve not used the mop part yet. If anyone has a problem with the mapping or the robot going crazy, just reboot it by holding down the power button. I have a 1300sq ft apartment and it cleans all the tile on one charge. I do lift my table chairs up and try to have no barriers for this robot. Luckily, I got a great price on it. Under 200 during the summer, refurbished

    Pet poop detector does NOT work

    I’ve liked this product most of the time I’ve had it, but coming home to find my entire carpet (the whole room) covered in dragged poop… Ugh. It’s supposed to be able to detect messes and avoid them, but besides this incident, it has also run over bowls of cat food when the cats don’t eat fast enough. These aren’t subtle, so the detection obviously doesn’t work.
