We have the i7+ for a year now. It does our whole first floor. We have it set to run daily at midnight to make sure everyone sleep. It does the kitchen and foyer which takes about 35 mins. On Tues and Fri it does the WHOLE house including fam room, dining, living room which takes about 2.5 hours because it has to return to the base and recharge then come back and finish the job. We turn the chairs on our kitchen island and kitchen dinnette upside down on the table each night so it can reach more of those areas. Also twice a week we turn the chairs on the dining room set upside down on the table so it can clean that well too. The thing is AMAZING. The only thing I would say is if you have kids make sure they get all their little tiny toys and stuff off the floor because it has occasionally gotten some of my girls hair scrunchies stuck in the rollers and it will clog it up, also has gotten those plastic grocery bags stuck in the rotor and stop too. Also it will require you to do maintenance and replace rollers, that little corner brush it uses, filters, and the front wheel too. I found out the hard way to just use the official ROOMBA rollers because we were trying to be cheap and buy those aftermarket rollers and the thing makes HORRIBLE noises like it was dying so we went and bought the OFFICIAL rollers and its back to normal.
Agree with buying official rollers, tried the cheap ones. Make a load of noise and don't pick dirt up anywhere near as well. Such a difference but don't really see why they look identical.
iRobot embedded this video on their listing on Amazon
Smart
It was an iRobot and vacuum wars collaboration
The irobot product, company and customer service stink.. We've been trying to resolve issues as soon as we received this as a gift for last Christmas. My previous model (not irobot) worked for years and I wish we never got rid of it!! The robot never finds it's host, doesn't empty it's bin, the brush falls off after a few seconds and We've had to replace the head module 2 times. We've spent more money trying to fix this brand new dang thing than the actual robot. The company refuses to give a refund or replace the robot even though we're still under warranty! Do not purchase this product!!!
@@Duckya1212 so.. you got a defective one. Return it. It happens when a company makes millions of copies of the same robot
only on usa
The review format for this video is spot on. Factual, clear and to-the-point. Nice work putting this together
Much appreciated!
I bought the e5 a few months ago for my 2BR condo and I love it. It’s not perfect. Sometimes it doesn’t put itself back properly or it’ll have errors on occasion, but it really is a smart little vacuum.
Incredibly thorough, and I felt like you explained the differences in a very pedagogical and comprehensible way!
Wow, thank you!
Difference between Roomba 870 and Roomba 980 is significant. I had no idea that 980 is so much better than 870 until I test it on my own. I thought the 980 would be 870's with mapping but I was wrong. Roomba 980 is finally real vacuum cleaner. Both in eco and boost mode it has so much more suction power than previous models which were simply sweepers. Now it's real vacuum. I had all generations of Roomba, including entry model 620, through 782e, 870 and now 980. They are all very good, but the 980 is a king of all previous Roomba models. I can't even imagine what is i7 or S9 in compare to 980 lol
If they have a robot already, buy them accessories/refills as stocking stuffers. Never hurts to have refills, or virtual walls if they got a non nav unit.
One deficiency of the Imprint Link tech is that the vacuum must finish its ENTIRE job before starting the mop. This is a real drag if you have a larger home. Would be awesome if the vacuum could go out and start vacuuming hard floors first, with the mop following.
Also, if the two robots are running at the same time, they do not know how to avoid each other. Demolition derby in the hallway....
"Most houses have places where there are a lot of cords" ... yes they do. But then that house gets a 675 and the house no longer has messy cords in the way and you best BELIEVE those kids pick up every single Lego because they know the robot eats Legos for fuel.
Also we got one of the Wyze vaccums in the upstairs. Very different units but both clean really well and run every night.
What about if you were to be moving to a different house how can you reset the mapping on the robot? But even though the the i3 can’t do keep out zones can you still do a straight line barrier through app in the i3?
This is very well explained! I finally understand their different models and was able to decide which one I need.
Bro awesome, truly awesome video. Thank you so much. Clear explanation, visual guide, I mean... I feel like a roomba expert now.
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
I got my 675 a about 6 weeks ago on sale for $250. I LOVE IT! I live in a studio apartment, don’t have a pet, and shoes are left at the door so battery life, navigation, pet hair, and the best clean possible isn’t a concern for me. And this being my first robot vacuum I didn’t want to go overboard. The Braava 240 is absolutely on my list next unless they release a new one that is reasonably priced with app connect capabilities.
Do you still love it?
@@andreab425 sorry for the late reply. I purchased it in Oct 2020 and then got a dog in Dec 2020. It worked for me for a while until I really got sick of cleaning the bristle style brush. Dog hair just coated that brush, so if you have pets that shed, do not buy unless you’re okay with more maintenance. I just upgraded to the i3+ last week and it is much improved. I did buy the Braava 240 in early 2021 and that is such a good map I highly recommend, as long as you buy the washable pads.
Fantastic video. It answered all of my questions and then some! Thank you!!
Thank you too!
Could you shed some light on what kind of discount we are looking at? Interested in the S9+, but if the deal is good I might just get the bundle
Vacuum Wars, Love your concise tests and evaluations!!! I have watched both your 'BEST Robot Vacuums 2020 Edition - Vacuum Wars' and this iRobot Black Friday special. I will be making a purchase soon based off your information. Can you please confirm if the S9 was included in your earlier '2020 Best of' video, but just not selected as one of your top 2 for premium?
Roomba i3 rocks. Sister loves Brava and she is very picky. Tries a Bobsweep it was awful. Whichever sweeper you purchase make sure it has beater bars - not - brushes. Particularly if you have pets.
I adopted an e5 today, I'm glad to learn about it! Thanks
Congrats! Hope it works well for you.
Really helpful. I am going to buy the Roomba e5. I have one pet and one thick rug in a small house. Plus the price isn't too high. We'll see how it works.
I love the work you do keep us all informed on these products!!
Do you have insight of when the next generation of iRobot mop will be available? I purchased the i7+/M6 bundle. So far very happy with the i7. Not too happy with the M6 yet. Great technology but I believe I need one more generation of advancement before I'm happy with shelling out the price tag. Issue I currently see with the Braava M6:
-It should have ability process a mapping run without mopping. It just takes WAAAY to long to get a map otherwise
-It should be able to 'see' the grain or alignment on wood floors or tile and align itself to prevent cross streaks.
-It should be able to 'lift' the soiled/wet mop off the floor when returning to base so as not to drag a dirt mop head over a previously cleaned surface.
For now, I"m keeping the Roomba i7, and returning the Braava M6
I'd appreciate any insight on the timing of Roomba's next gen mopping robot OR if you feel another brand is there yet with the above features
I love your videos!
I want to know if I can just use for example the I3 downstairs and then move it upstairs so I can use it for the floors upstairs. That way I don’t have to buy two different vacuum systems.
I currently have a Shark IQ and considering returning for a Roomba. My main issue is the front bumper plate. I'm assuming they have IR sensors in them and they seem to get super scratched. The robot ends up ramming into things the more scratched it gets. Does the Roomba get this also?
these videos are so helpful. thank you.
Any chance you can please do a video on the Deebot T8/T8+? You've done the AIVI, but I'm curious how the newer T8 with the "TrueDetect" system compares. Also, is everything else the same aside from the front detection system?
Great review! Costco has the i8+ on sale. Grabbing mine today. Thanks!
Hope you enjoy it!
Back in 2015 or 2014 my dad bought my mom a iroomba vacuum unfortunately they don’t use it it’s been sitting in my family room dead for a few years I want to see if it still works and use it
I'm thinking of getting the 976 after a few years without a Roomba (nightmare I know). Do all the app smart features you mention in the video apply to that model as well?
Could you do a comparison of the Shark Vertex upright and the Shark Apex upright?
This guide is so helpful! Thanks for posting.
Glad it was helpful!
If you don't have a robotic vacuum yet get one, they are wonderful. I am a happy Neato D7 owner (3) and I thought that vacuuming a couple of times a month would be enough but we have a dog so my robots vacuum 3 days a week (three and a half hours each day) and still get a significant amount of debris every time. Our house is cleaner and the floors look great.
I love my roomba. Now i wonder why I wasted all those years sweeping lol
Not for $1050 😁
I have S9+ and the new brava jet. I purchased them both as a combo and LOVE them BOTH! I also bought the non disposable pads for each of them and like them much more then the throw away ones. Of course they're much higher quality and do a better job in my opinion. So say YES to S9+ with emptying tank (clean base) and the Bravo jet newer larger one. I typically set them each to go twice per room and they do such a good job and help me keep up with dusty floors. Best wishes for excellent black Friday holiday sales!!
@MorrisAviation you got the i7 or the i7 plus? Im looking right now at my local stores and i7 is 500 something euros and i7+ is like 500 euros more, so 1000euros. Should i get the regular i7?
@MorrisAviation i havent had that issues so far thank goodness
Upgraded to s9+ from 980 and the s9+ is garbage.
@@uramalakia why?
@@EstebanBustos It takes it much longer to clean the exact same area and it doesn't do as good a job. It's not garbage in and of itself, but, in my experience, it is compared to the 980. To be honest, if I was in the market for a new robot vacuum, I'd go for a Roborock. The one with the self cleaning base... What's it called? S7 MaxV Ultra? It's similar money but it also mops, cleans itself, empties itself and has lidar.
wow I like your thoroughness thanks
My J7+ (two months old) has stopped avoiding things and no longer shows me obstacle photos. I have gone to the map and reset obstacle sensing with no luck so I did a factory reset with no luck. It's like the camera is not working. Do you have any ideas I can try?
What about the noise level? I recently got an i3 and it’s very loud. Is i7 quieter than i3? It’s navigation is okay, though not great. How does i3 compare with neato D4?
It would be super cool if iRobot made a base for the M-6 that could auto fill it with water and cleaning solution. Kind of like the clean base for s9
I’m sure they’re working on it. They just have to make sure that the pumps would work with a variety of solutions.
I bought an S9+ for Black Friday and just started having problems with it saying Error 31, I have looked on iRobot’s Facebook Chat & Support Group and I have seen that multiple people say they have had this problems several times and had them replaced 3 or 4 times. I’m wondering what should I do? I do not want to have mine replaced and go without one for a month or two.
I have Guinea pigs, and constantly get hay all over the floor. Would any of these be able to handle large pieces of hay, or even it at all?
i honestly don't see why a camera is needed to designate cleaning certain rooms (i3 vs i7 & s9). My i3 maps the house and that should be enough to designate rooms. I can see why the camera would be necessary for specific areas within a room though.
I just got an i3 today. Does anyone know if it will still activate at it's scheduled time even after I decided to manually activate it early on the same day?
I’ve been trying to work out which robot vac is best for me. Really like the idea of the bundle but the recent multitude of bad online reviews are really scaring me off! I’d be interested to hear other’s thoughts on what’s going on!
if you had to choose between the i5 vs i7. is the $250 to $300 worthed for a basement cleaner.
Unfortunately here cannot get the most recent I robot vacuum bots i7 with auto empty bin if lucky l
My one complaint (thus far, anyway) would be that the Automatic Disposal Base is pretty loud when it empties the Roomba after a clean. Not exactly ideal during the night. An optional delay would be cool. Something to prevent the loud noise from a set time to set time.
Which one is best on dark floors / vacuum in dim lighting?
Hey iRobot! Why don’t you make a large trash can bin that has a i6 integrated into its base. That way all the collected debris dumps right into the trash bin?
Hi im looking to get the shark RV1000s what is the difference between that and the RV1000? I saw a video that you had the RV1000 but I dont know if they are the same as the RV1000s.
Love this channel tbh
Does anyone know why the Roomba 700 series is so loud? I have the 761 and 780. I also have a 690 (relatively quiet!) and a 675 (more quiet than the 700 series) so I switched the black CHM from the 675 to the 761, still loud! I took apart the 761 and cleaned it inside out, not sure why it's so loud.
Please review the Bissell spinwave robot vacuum and mop!!
I would love to see your review on the Wyze Vacuum that is on pre order at the moment.
I find it great for a guy with a broken neck in a small apartment,so even though it's got a small dustbin,that's all I need right now.When I've healed enough to go outside I might a bit more and go back to my old canister-which is full size with a bag that's bigger than a roborock e-5,so it's a lot more powerful (Even though this does a much more thorough job of vaccuming than me most of the time).
You take care! I'm glad you found something that is working well for you.
Best explanation of this gadgets, by faaaar!! Thanks a lot
Glad you think so!
Could do make a comparison between the S9/M6 Black Bundle and the Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI?
I spent a ton of time making this comparison table of the most popular Robot Vacuums on Amazon on 20 different metrics that mattered to me. You can compare any options you want against some of the top options to see if it's the best one for you. You can add and remove options from it and customize the criteria to match your needs. Cat Hair, Rugs, Self-Emptying and Re-charging were most important to me. It's kinda like a shared spreadsheet on steroids because it pulls in all the specs and ratings. Here's my comparison project app.skeema.com/?pid=lWVoJB3OD1olKXqcdcBZ
@@BradBreneisen thank you!
And what about the iRobot I6 on Amazon? I can”t find it on iRobot website...
What's the best roomba? I don't need bells and whistles. Just need it to run when I turn it on. I'll never use any online crap. Which one do you think?
This is a fantastic video. Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Can you use these on multiple story house, I have 3 levels.
I just purchased an i8+. What series is this? I'm trying to set up and the app wants to know which Series it is.
Best Buy has the Shark Rotator for sale for $180. Would you reccomended it?
I would LOVE to do a s9+ vs Roborock s6 max V comparison!
How does vacuum robot suction compare to some common hand-held stand-up vacuum?
Thank you!!! I was totally lost!
Glad I could help!
It seems that the 675 is just perfect for me! Thanks
Perfect!
Hey, what's your recommendation for best self empty robot vacuum for people with kids? Especially toddlers?
We tried a Deebot T8+ and loved the laser navigation, but had real trouble with the robot getting stuck on a small floor transition, getting stuck halfway up it's self empty bin, not emptying completely, and being entirely phobic of a rug in my son's room. We're currently using an i8+ (costco exclusive i7 with bigger battery) and it's very easily harassed cornered or confused by our son moving around the house...
he self emptying feature just seems to do better for us if I run it more frequently - about three times a week - and we have cats. As far as getting confused by kids, I bet all AI has a long way to go in that regard. :)

Have you compared the i7/i9 with the DEEBOT OZMO T8. I am curious which one wins?

So... s9/m6 black bundle is the way to go???
I’m assuming you can’t reuse the bags after emptying them?
I also think it's worth noting that if you plan on buying these at Costco, the model number is the next higher even number. Meaning i3 is listed as i4 and i7 as i8. According to the Roomba rep, they are the same vacuums but just come with more extras than if you were to buy them elsewhere.
Thank you!
I4 has more battery capacity than the i3.
I tried using the link for the s9 combo with the m6 but it doesn't work
As someone with long curly hair, a 655, and an e6, the anti-tangle brushes are legit. 4:35
dude your hair is beautiful no homo
@@heinuchung8680 thank you. I keep being tempted to cut it off for convenience for extended camping, but it's tough to give up.
Can you review the NeaBot NoMo robot with auto empty bin, as well as the Deebot T8 with TrueDetect Laser? Also when are you gonna review the ROOMBA e5? Thx!
I have the e5 now, so soon.
@@VacuumWars finally!
Have a look at Viomi S9/Viomi Alpha 1C [the very first Xiaomi with self emptying base)
and Proscenic M8 Pro (with updated self emptying base). I hope you’ll test them both :)
I'm rather out of the loop when it comes to newer vacuums. Are robot vacuums nifty tools for people on the go or luxury toys for people who have lots of money? Or to put it differently, would a robot vacuum be sufficient as a main vacuum or should people on a budget stick to an upright?
I'm a fan of a good robot vacuum, for sure. It will depend on a person's home and what they need. I have a video on what I use and when here - th-cam.com/video/7jJb6IZdfF0/w-d-xo.html.
@@VacuumWars Thanks.
Hiya I'm looking at a robot vacuum which one would you recommend I like 1 with mop option looking at Ecovacs Deebot Ozmo T8 AIVI and the robrocks max 6v which one would be best

Do these things mark up wood furniture when it bumps into it? Have some antiques I would not want to get damaged
They will over time. Cover the edges in a felt strip.
0:00 Roombas have taken over the shelf!
Do you ever compare sound? Are some of these models quieter than others?
How does the S8+ differ from any of these ? Costco carries the S8+
You spoke about the effectiveness on carpet but what do you recommend for a home with wooden floors and tile floors
There are robot vacuums with no rollers / brushes, that some people seem to like for homes with only hard floors. I don't know what they are off the top of my head.
These are good even for a flat floor!
@@gianluca2075 sure, but if you have no carpet, you might as well skip cleaning rollers. Especially if you have long hair in the house.
Have the 675 it does an amazing job. One area iroomba works well is on carpets. WOW i mean they pick up everything. I want the mop now but so expensive/
Can you do a review in the quitam x?
Edit: Sorry for the bad spelling, I usually spell better
Hi, I’ve been watching your channel for guidance in buying a robot vacuum. My house is hopefully finished by end of next year and will have hard floors. Do you have any information about new iRobot models coming soon so that the current models will be cheaper or should I use the Black Friday deals and purchase one now. Thanks
They haven told me any info on new models but that doesn’t mean much.
Just checked your links, they don’t work in uk sadly😟😞 how much is the s9/m6 bundle in the US please ?
In uk the s9/m6 bundle is 2000£ on the iRobot website. Is that close to what you guys have in us? Thanks
@@rudyka04 on the uk website there is an iRobot with a mop feature, called the iRobot combo, similar to the roborock smax but there are no reviews on it. Also it doesn’t to seem to be available in the us
Thank you
Are they still loud?
How is the camera effected when the lights are off and in a dark room? Would Neto be better for this room type? Appreciate it
The Roomba i3+ in this video does not have a camera and can operate in complete darkness - and empty itself.
How much did they pay you, the IQ is much better and also has Room mapping, we purchased a Roomba and it just set there and spun in circles.
How do you feel about the previously discontinued Scuba line compared to the Braava? Is there anything comparable to the Scuba out now?
Some people love the old style, I myself have never tried it so I cant say.
I miss Scooba line... This was a beast. I still keep and use 380 one. Mostly on third party spares...
I have a roomba i1 is that compatible with the clean base?
Top porovnánání! :-)
Link for bravajet is broken. Please fix
Can you please review the blissel zing?
Hello. Can u give me advice for Irobot roomba combo 113. Thank :)
We purchased the i3+ because it had "WiFi Mapping" in the title which made us believe we were able to select which room to clean individually. Big Bummer. We are fortunate they sent us a return label. We're going to upgrade to the i7+.
I think you should test the ilife shinebot w400!
I needed this so much right now! Thank you!
So glad! Thank you!
Your thoughts about i3+ vs Shark IQ with self emptying base. It would help me to decide. i like i3+ but the no-go zone in shark, is it a key feature that could be a deal maker. so little confused. your inputs will be of great help.
i3+ over the Shark IQ, but I have yet to look at the Shark IQ XL.

How about the E6? I see that for sale at the local Walmart.
I'd love to get the mopping robot one day cause I hate mopping more than sweeping, but it's just not a priority right now. Maybe when I'm ready for it it'll be on mega sale or something.
I just saw a mop review of the various ones Braava and he ended up like the cheapest 240 best!
