  • Just get it
Style: Roomba Q052 Auto Empty Amazon Exclusive
This is a staple in our home. We have run this every night for a year and a half. Depending on level of suction, there are times it needs a re-charge before finished. That being said, it’s always done before we awake. Higher suction = louder noise. Nothing that’s bothersome or we can’t sleep through, including our toddler. Lower suction does a few run throughs before completing, thus the battery lasts longer. We use the higher suction mainly before a deep clean. It has kept our floors, rugs, foam playmats clean thus far, including picking up hair from our Labrador. Also has never malfunctioned with the constant button pushing of a toddler. I don’t recall set up, but anything compatible with Alexa is pretty easy. The only thing I wish is that it was a quarter of an inch shorter so it could clean under our couch! All-together, this a phenomenal product at its price point and we would not have survived the last 1.5 years without it. ... show more

  • Dont buy it
Style: Roomba Q011 Amazon Exclusive
This is my first experience with an iRobot brand and I have to say its so poor I may never purchase another product by them. Where to even begin? I previously had an iON brand unit I picked up at walmart on sale for $69 it was amazing and for $69 we could not complain. After two years of working hard and being abused by my boys if finally started making noises and it was time. So I thought moving to a $100+ name brand unit was going to be an upgrade. Not even close. 1. This unit only has one side brush unlike my other unit that had one on each side, so unless its approaching the wall or nook and cranny from the right direction it does not grab anything near the wall or door or corner of the room. 2. Its constantly getting stuck, the height of the unit is just enough that if you have a hard wood floor that was laid after your cabinets the space between the floor and the base of the kitchen cabinet is just enough for the downward angle of the unit to get wedged and its stuck. If you have a piece of furniture with say a box, or laundry hamper just smaller than the width of the unit next to it the unit sometimes will get stuck in a perpetual loop of turning around and running into the same piece of furniture then doing it all over again and never leaves that couple of square feet. 3. The APP is horrible. Very few customization settings, my old iON unit i could fully remote control the unit like an RC car, I could also adjust the vacuum suction, its overall travel speed and much more. With this APP you can locate the unit if its stuck (that is often) and change its suction. That is about it. 4. Wedges under every couch we have. If you happen to have one of those electric recliners where its slightly higher from the floor than most this unit will wedge itself under the back every time it passes by. (see picture) 5. The brush is constantly turning on an off, I assume this is a battery feature, however its very annoying and it does not seem to clean as well with this occurring (again you cant change it in the app). 6. The "human voice" (if you want to call it that) that communicates various issues to you such as "please place on a flat surface" or tells you there is a problem, is extremely LOUD. Even more so than the unit running by ten fold. So there is no chance your going to run this unit at night and sleep without nightmares of a robot taking you in your sleep. Bottom line is this unit does the job, however you have to babysit it so much its almost easier to just get out the vacuum and do it by hand. There are a few rooms that don't trigger the unit getting stuck or calling for help for random reasons, so we do use it there. However for the price, your better off getting one of the off brand units for sure. Use it in rooms that have no cabinets, couches, or furniture with a curved leg (it likes to treat the curved leg like a dog in heat if you know what I mean and gets stuck). I WOULD RECCOMEND purchasing something else.. ... show more

  • love the robot vacuum, but got a defected this time
Style: Roomba Q011 Amazon Exclusive
My 1st was 3 years ago, still running very well, just need some part to take care. I buy 2 on Amazon Prime day with a very deal. The combo robot, vacuum + mob, running well, I live the mob combo. But another is the vacuum only, does not work as usual. The 1st problem is the spinning brush come off during clean. 2nd problem is the robot return home and charging, the robot status on app show that it off line, not connected to wifi. I try to reconnect it, but the problem remains. It must be manufactured defected. So, I decide to return it. But keep the combo. Will try to get different model when there is the good deal next time. ... show more

  • A brilliant house keeper!
Style: Roomba Q011 Amazon Exclusive
We wore our first iRobot after ~8 years and I was amazed at the advances since we bought our first one. This ONE is SMART! We can manage it from our phones. After receipt, I assembled and and charged it, the followed the very clear instructions. When I started “Hazel” the first time, she mapped the entire house then returned to her dock. Since then she has been brilliant! - She will advise me if her bin needs to be emptied. - She will return to her dock to recharge (if needed), then pickup where she left off. - She also lets us select a specific room/area to be vaccumed. And to top it off she advises use when she’s charged and ready to go again! A great house keeper! ... show more

  • Good cleaner, but ruins carpet
Style: Roomba Q011 Amazon Exclusive
I purchased this Roomba Vac Essential in March 2025 and run it daily on medium-pile carpet. Setup was easy, and cleaning performance is generally solid — it picks up most dirt and pet hair, though I still need to run a manual vacuum for stray clumps of cat hair. One thing I appreciate is the neat, uniform vacuum lines, which is why I replaced my older robot vacuum (that one cleaned well but left random, chaotic patterns). Unfortunately, this model has a serious flaw. It gets stuck in about 3 out of every 5 cleanings, and in 2 of those cases it spins in place, leaving stubborn black marks from the wheel on my carpet. These stains are impossible to remove — I’ve tried multiple cleaners and even steam cleaning without success. At this point, I’ll likely need to replace my carpet entirely, not because of my geriatric cats, but because of the robot vacuum’s wheel damage. If you have carpet you care about, especially lighter or medium tones, I cannot recommend this model. On hard floors, it might be fine, but on carpet it’s a costly risk. ... show more

Style: Roomba Q052 Auto Empty Amazon Exclusive
To say I hate this thing would be an understatement. I have a rug that I laid down in my front room and it doesn't know how to deal with it. Will drive on it and go in circles for 45 min and run out of battery without doing the rest of the house. Less than 5 percent of the time does it actually finish a job without getting stuck. It falls off ledges constantly, gets lost, or traps itself under the counter. It's literally the dumbest vacuum I've ever owned. It will eat everything on the floor except for actual dirt. A sock? Jams it right in and gets stuck. Piece of cat food? Throws that across the kitchen and then never picks it up. Pay a little more for a better product. Do NOT buy this ... show more
