Buy a robot vacuum already!
The robot vacuum post that you didn't know you needed! TL;DRRoborock E4 {$179-$269}Roomba i6+ {$549-$799}If you're looking to get a robot vacuum, I would like to say DO IT. As to which brand to pick, it's a toss up, and completely depends on your budget.I bought our Roborock on sale for $179 last year and have been very pleased with it. My heart was originally set on the more pricey Roomba self-emptying units, but since I am frugal and wanted to see if it would even work here, I went with the lesser expensive bot. We have a house full of old furniture and rooms so I didn't know if a robot would even jive here.I have been VERY pleased with our Roborock. It has done a great job over the last few months while we are not home. I would say, realistically, 8 out of 10 times it went off without a hitch. It went down our foyer stairs one time and had also gotten itself lodged under my sewing machine and other furniture a handful of times.Every day that it did its cycle (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 9am) I would come home and empty the trap. It has a washable filter and I cut the hair from the brushes and cleaned the sensors. It has been well worth the $179 to not have to see cat hair, hay, gravel, stove dust, and leaves everywhere.A week ago I bought the unit I had had my heart set on. Well, the unit a tier above the one I had had my heart set on. The lowest priced Roomba unit with the self emptying dock has been at about $500 for the last year, the i3+. The next level up, the i6+, has run about $799. Last week, and even now, Amazon has had the i6+ for the same price as the i3+. My assumption is that a new i6+ is probably coming out soon so they're blowing them out. WHICH IS FINE, I want one.I don't spend a lot of money on goofy things, except 1978 El Caminos, so I decided to spoil myself with this i6+. To be honest they were similar in price LOL. I'm an adult with adult money, no kids, and a farmy kind of property with a dusty wood stove so I did it.After purging, donating, selling, and burning almost everything I owned in the fall, having a clean house feels absolutely amazing. Having a clean floor 24/7 is almost euphoric. I enjoy being home and no longer have those nagging feelings of dread about things I need to be cleaning. I also very much enjoy the kitty cats and Chris and I have raging allergies so I need something to clean up the hair.My feelings so far on the two:Quality of the clean:Roomba and Roborock seem to clean the same. I was very pleased with both. The Roborock generally took a little more than an hour and would get down to about 30% battery life. It was also slower than the Roomba. The Roomba is a faster unit, almost a bit more violent, and takes about 3 hours to complete the first floor. It does seem to be more thorough and charges itself halfway through a first floor cycle.Apps:I didn't want to get another brand so I'd have a second app, but I went with the Roomba anyway. The Roomba has a far superior app. And by far I mean, from here to Australia. The Roborock app is great and easy to use, but very primitive. You also cannot choose certain areas to clean with the E4. It cleans everything or nothing. The Roomba i6 created a map of our house and will just do certain areas that I tell it to. It can do certain rooms on different days of the week or on command. Both tell you when to perform regular maintenance on the machines, when they are stuck, or if software updates are needed.Parts:I like that the Roborock company and Roomba BOTH offer replacement parts at affordable prices. I have been able to take apart and clean out the Roborock really easily. I won't have to do anything to the Roomba for a while, but I will have new brushes, filters, etc. on hand for when it is due.Clumsiness:The Roomba is definitely a superior machine, but it should be, at 3x the price of the Roborock. The Roborock is very primitive but very gentle. Like I said, only 1 time out of dozens of cleanings did it go down some stairs. And it was probably my fault for not cleaning the sensors. The Roomba is much, much faster and almost more violent, sometimes bashing pretty hard into my furniture and woodwork. I think after a few cleanings, it will figure itself out and no longer hit so hard. The Roborock is definitely a more simple, slower, and more methodical machine. Roomba goes in curvier lines and seems to have a method to the madness. Roborock says eff this madness, I need to go in a straight line or I'll die.Convenience:Both are great in that they are vacuums that I don't have to push around. We have so much wood floor, furniture, and trim - it is super cool to not have sheh just pushed up against it. I also cook a lot so the crumb thing was driving me bonkers. I do have to manually empty the trap on the Roborock, but it's not bad at all. A few seconds and I'm done. The filter is also washable, so it lasts a long time. The Roomba has the base that sucks the dirt out of the machine and into a disposable bag. 1. The base sounds like a god dang jet taking off when it gets the dirt out of the vacuum. 2. I haven't quite gauged how long it will take to fill the bag. Now I'll have to purchase bags from time to time. I'm not sure how I feel about it. But having to not have to remember to empty the little bastard is convenient since I have it running 3 days per week.Sounds:Both are god dang vacuums. They sound like vacuums. Run it while you aren't home. I hate seeing people complaining about the noise in online reviews. IT'S A effING ROBOT VACUUM, WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?Physical differences:They are approximately the same size and weight. Both are black and have cameras and sensors in approximately the same areas. Major differences are that the brush on the Roborock is 1 actual bristled brush, while the Roomba has 2 rubber "brushes" that work simultaneously to pull dirt between them, instead of sweeping dirt up into a bin like the Roborock. Both seem to function very similarly, but I'd have to give the blue ribbon to the Roomba.I want to point out that the other reason I went with the Roomba was that the higher quality Roborocks [$500-$800] only come with vacuum AND mop features, and I did NOT want a mop feature. They also do not come with a self-emptying dock. I personally don't see how you can jam a mop system and a vacuum system in a bot the same size and not compromise the vacuum capabilities. I also read a lot of reviews that the mop part is just a glorified restaurant pre-packaged moist toilette and having it drag that around my entire first floor seemed kind of gross. It's just us and the cats, I will mop when I need to.

Reviewed in Mexico on January 16, 2023
Tiene cosas que me gustan y otras que no
Por ejemplo no me gusta que tengas que tener suficiente luz para poder mapear el lugar oh cuando deba limpiar si está algo oscuro o luz apagada aveces se pierde.
El tipo de base está mal diceñado de lugar de darle mayor soporte a la hora de acomodarse le cuesta trabajo acomodarse aveces tarda en acomodarse o no hace bien contacto para cargarse. En limpieza siento que le falta más subccion si aspira Masomenos bien incluso gracias a su censor de suciedad se regresa a recoger lo que le faltó pero siento que le falta mejoras en su diceño y más sensores cuando está en el segundo piso antes de bajar las escaleras se supone trae sus sensores delanteros para pararse y no caer en las escaleras si se para pero queda medio robot en el piso y la otra mitad volando sobre las escaleras debiendo parar en seco al robot en cuanto sensa que no hay piso , no está bien programado esa parte lo que realice es que le puse unos centímetros antes de que pase esa situación le puse como zona restringida. Por el tipo de rodillos que trae si ayuda con el pelo de mascotas hay una situación ahí y es que aveces 2 de cada 5 veces cuando hay demaciado pelo de gato no lo subccion bien o no lo atrapa bien con los rodillos y lo que hace es que se queda almacenado debajo de los rodillos cuando ya está en su base y levantas al robot tedas cuenta que tienes un fajo de pelos ahí acumulados.

Desde mi punto de vista para evitar ciertas cosas como está y hacer que te funcione bien la robotina la recomendación siempre será que la robotina este aspirando 2 veces al día todos los días solo así no va tener tantos detalles.
Si es un buen producto pero deben de mejorar muchas cosas para que el que la compre no tenga que estar haciendo trucos para que funcione como uno quiere.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good at keeping our floors clean and fur free.
Reviewed in Canada on January 10, 2021
This Roomba vacuum cleaner performs better than our other two lidar based vacuums. It navigates quite well and meticulously cleans our floors. For the navigation it does require some light. The self cleaning feature was the selling point for me and it is worth it! If I forgot to clear out the boxes daily on my other vacs, they would not perform as well and effectively would waste their vacuuming runs.

The Roomba has performed flawlessly over the past three weeks. It has found its base each and every time. It has picked up the hair from two dogs and a cat. I divided the daily runs (last two map images) into two as the battery life is one weak point and having it recharge to continue, we found to be annoying. In the morning it does the run where we tend not to be in and in the afternoon, the other portion of the house. It has been working out well with no interruptions to empty or recharge.

Our living area consists of all hard floors and has a lot of furniture and obstacles for the vacuums. Having said this, the layout was robot proofed for the prior robot vacuum cleaners so it did make it easier to implement the Roomba. After completely charging the robot, I did a single mapping run with all rooms well lit. That, surprisingly, worked out perfectly. Our vacuumable area out of 1700 square feet of technical floor space is around 1000 square feet.

I check and clean the bag, brushes (if necessary) and filter once a week.

Pros:
Excellent at cleaning and picking up fur (one dog is a husky that sheds a lot)
Self cleaning bin is very effective.
Good navigation in light
Good cleaning pattern
Much less maintenance than other robots without the self-emptying bin
Rotating brushes work very well with no tangles to date.
Better than my Lidar at actually cleaning.
Dirt sensing ability and repeats cleaning in those areas where it detects more dirt.
Good mapping.

Minor Cons:
Shorter battery life than other Lidar based robots.
Needs light to navigate effectively.
Lidar vacuums are more precise in their coverage and navigation.

Major cons:

None yet.

I have been impressed enough to consider having another one in the future for our lower level. I had carefully researched for weeks before purchasing this I6+ (which is the same as the I7+ and I8+ except for extras). While I prefer Lidar based robots normally, this one seemed to be the best self-emptying robot available. I purchased this while it was on sale before Christmas.

After reading countless reviews and searching the Internet, I figured I’d give it a try and I’m glad that I did. Here are a few of my initial thoughts that I hope will help you when deciding whether or not to buy this product.

PROS:

Despite some negativity about this product’s noise level, I found it to be quieter in comparison to my Bissell; unless it was emptying on the dirt disposal base, otherwise it wasn’t nearly as loud as your traditional vacuum.

In terms of suction power (also compared to my Bissell), the Roomba has just as good of a suction, if not better. The i6+ was able to pick up anything from dust, to dirt, to cat hair (we have three cats). I was especially impressed when it cleaned the baseboards and in between our railing banisters with its side brush.

Another feature I liked was the “charge and resume” software. From my experience, it takes about one and a half hours to get a full charge then the robot does roughly an hour and a half of work before needing some more power. I placed the i6+ on the upper level of our house, which measures about 800 feet, and it was able to get that area clean on one charge.

A final feature that I find convenient is the app. I like that I can schedule cleanings and see information about how long the robot cleaned, where, etc...

*** NOTE: I READ IN THE MANUAL THAT A MAP LAYOUT IS GENERATED AFTER ABOUT 3-5 USES.*** (This is accurate in my experience thus far)

(At first I didn’t notice this mapping feature in my app settings and became worried, but after further investigation I now understand why. The robot needs to learn the area/floor plan a few times before it can generate a map. After two “learning runs,” my Roomba was able to identify its surroundings and I can now name rooms, place clean zones, and set keep out zones within the app.

CONS:

There is no question in my mind that this was a great investment; however, the price was a bit hefty. If you’re able to purchase this on sale like I did, it’s worth every penny.

I would’ve also liked to see a bit more extras in the box, but overall I feel like this vacuum was still good value and I will get a lot of use out of it.

FINAL THOUGHTS:

Look for this product when it’s on sale. It’s worth a pretty penny but it’s features are excellent and it gets the job done in a reasonable time. I purchased this because I have a very busy schedule. So I see this being ideal for those with busy lifestyles, and those who own pets.
