U r doing fine with the test footage and I think It's good where you speed it up. Also I like your tests they show how great they are at picking up certain debris types and sizes.
I’m assuming it turns around for the second path because it is missing two drop sensors located on the back of robot compared to i7. So I guess that is for safety reason.
I'd keep doing the speed up footage of the robot cleaning the room. That way people can see for themselves what pattern (or lack thereof) the robot is using to clean the room. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the coming videos!
Much appreciated that you gave it a extremely hard run. I just returned an Ecobot. I’m feel better about my purchase now. Haven’t received it yet. But I expect certain issues with roombas like anything …. It’s not perfect. Having 2 and sometimes 3 dogs won’t be perfect. Completely worth the purchase of IRobot. Have had the for several years with dogs that shed a lot.
You’ve inspired me to do my own stress tests at home with my i3+! When you hit 10,000 subs-I would really appreciate one of your robot give away for my upstairs, please. I enjoy watching all your videos about the many different robot vacs on the market and learning about their features/technologies. Thanks!
Just bought the i3+ for my wife for Christmas . I am really hoping that it is gonna make cleaning up after our 95lb. Lab easier Looking forward to more of videos.
I just got one of these for a gift . I am disabled so it's very exciting!! I love your review but I am wondering if you might have any idea how I could put some sort of handle on it? I am unable to pick it up. My old one had a recessed handle and I just attatched a zip tie so I could get a hold of it. We all just assumed they were all the same .. 😔 thanks for any help!!
We have an i3+ also, and it did the clog thing once. It sat there and tried to empty several times, but failed and said there was a clog. I went to check it out and there was nothing weird at all, so I stuck the box back in and pushed the empty button and it was fine. 🤷♂️
Hey Adam, I currently have the shark iq and I know you are not a fan, but it works perfect for our situation. However, we want to buy another another one for upstairs which is a bigger area with a bunch of bedrooms. The i3+ is currently $399 compared to the shark iq which we paid $320. Do you think the i3+ is the better choice and how does it compare to the i7? Thanks
Your find that the second self emptying mess up was over the card board blocking the hole as it sucks the dirt out, so once you removed that there was no more blockage to stop it.
Only I can just can’t believe why my Roomba actually spins the bush is speed like so fast actually down still flushing the bushes actually stand a little bit slow actually
I bet there was an internal clog somewhere inside the robot because it doesn’t usually try to self empty three times and it sounded like a bunch of debris was getting stuck behind something in the tube and all broke free at once so maybe something got stuck and that’s why the hair got stuck at the beginning because I know I’ve had hair as long as that in my Roomba and itself empties just find
Can it handle a large mess? Our brand new i3+ couldn't handle a basic cleaning assignment fresh out of the box. We ran it for a bit with no incident. It went to the dock to "discharge the dirt" and charge the battery. They have a small charge on them brand new. After a couple of hours, we re ran it more extensively. Trouble ensued. This time it operated for a minute or so and then stopped with an error code. This happened repeatedly. In the meantime, as it operated, it only pushed dirt around and wound up the pet hair before leaving it behind. A vacuum this expensive should be able to vacuum. Ours is going back.
thank you for the video...Great...except for maybe the turd....lol...I'm getting an i3 tomorrow and its my first experience with any robot. I really want to learn everything for the i3. everytime I watch something usually they use another type...ie i7...and this i3 I'm getting, for me, was pretty expensive....sooo....I want to know everything. How do ya use the app for the i3? Do ya need internet? I have a large house with two dogs, a cat and a very messy mechanic hubby. The hair is a little scary. I watched another video and he had some candy for example, and the candy clogged the i3. So again...thank you
See the turd at least made you laugh :) that was the point. Yes you will need wifi to use the app. The app on the i3 cannot control as much as it can like on the i7 or the s9.
@@AdamsReviews I would like to see how the i3 navigates the whole home. The app confuses me a bit...but then I'm an old lady....lol...I should have checked more out before I bought it. But now...guess I'll just have to see. Yes, I was surprised at your fraise, but it did make me smile. Could you do a more in depth review of the i3, showing the app along with it please.
I moved from an i3 to an i7. I took it as irobotic training. Baby steps of emptying a dust bin to listening to a sonic suck of a waste station +. From careless cleaning to serious twice the time first installation even though it did not need it. iRobotics team is too 'we know' and trapped in an anti backlash block. I love their machines. I wished they used the public less and the willing private sector more.
I have a navigation question - can it be picked up and carried to a different level in your home? I read that gyroscope robots need to start at their base because otherwise they can't tell where they are to clean. Thinking of getting one for a split level home, but obviously this would be a dealbreaker. Thanks!
The i3+ does not make a map. so you should be able to put it on any level...for what you are wanting I would get the deebot t8+ for $100 more. I just uploaded a similar video on that one.
@@AdamsReviews Thanks for the info. It's for my mom who doesn't want anything too technical and would do best with an auto empty so she doesn't have to bend down all the time. The T8+ is $300 more with the auto empty base, I think? I'll look into it and see how she would fare.
Got this one for my parents. 900 sqft 2 bedrooms, 2 baths, long hallway living room, kitchen. No pets. Works great. I have the S9 which I love but after buying this for my parents I wondered if I should have gotten an i3. Nothing beats the suction on the S9 however. If it even gets near a dust bunny the think is killed.
Hmm never seen the turn around method before, only the reverse-forward dirt mode. I'm amazed the floor navigation sensor works as well as it does. I had no idea this would vacuum in straight lines and cover the whole area.

I do enjoy your vids... YES on speeding them up to see pattern of cleaning!! Take your 10 min -- use that time for vid editing!!
Looks like it did a great cleaning this time, except for that bag error but I guess that's alright :p Nice vid as always!
I'd keep doing the speed up footage of the robot cleaning the room. That way people can see for themselves what pattern (or lack thereof) the robot is using to clean the room. Keep up the good work and looking forward to the coming videos!
I haven't seen my i7 do that new dirt detect 360 move 🧐 I'd imagine it agitates the carpet more than just backing up and continuing on.
Lmao love the intro comment haha great videos and keep it up!
Good I'm Glad. I wish everyone can appreciate stuff like that. It's hilarious to me but will offend some people lol
@@AdamsReviews it's a laugh at someone farting out loud!! Maybe a male thang??
Didn’t know the i3 had the self emptying feature. Nice.
I3+ does
Before i watch..just bought this for my wife. . .hopefully this goes well lol
the I3 uses a camera system that's mounted on the bottom, maybe it has to turn around during deep clean to align that camera?
Much appreciated that you gave it a extremely hard run. I just returned an Ecobot. I’m feel better about my purchase now. Haven’t received it yet.

I'm planning to save up,money by working hard this summer to buy a roomba i3+!

Will it roll over a 5/8-3/4" high transition strip? How thick of a rug can it climb onto?
Hi there
Maybe 💯
Very good stress test. I think in a normal condition it will certainly pass as awesome

It would be easy enuff to add a stick on handle!! Even 2 small velcro tabs and as long a strap as ya need
One thing to also mention, i have the i3 without the auto bin. And the app gives me a notice when the roomba bin is full. Pretty cool feature.
I did not know that thanks
Cool
Oh I gotta go
We have an i3+ also, and it did the clog thing once. It sat there and tried to empty several times, but failed and said there was a clog. I went to check it out and there was nothing weird at all, so I stuck the box back in and pushed the empty button and it was fine. 🤷♂️
I think at didn’t Empty because of the cardboard

I do think the i3 is better than the shark for sure....the i7 can map your house better and tell it to go clean a specific room.

Only I can just can’t believe why my Roomba actually spins the bush is speed like so fast actually down still flushing the bushes actually stand a little bit slow actually

Because they’re different robots
Do you know the difference between the i3+ and the e3+
And use all your hand vac
If Amazon is going to sell the I6+ for $549. This at $499 doesn’t make sense, $399 sounds right
I think $549 is just sale price...I think it will go back to $799 soon
I have the e5 and I am thinking to change it for the i3, should I do it? Or should I stay with the e5?
Its kinda the same robot...but I woudl upgrade to the i3+ for sure.

Why are you wasting food???????
I just bought one of these and didn’t receive it yet.Would like to see how it navigates your entire space.
I was pretty impressed with how good it did in this test. Soon I will have it do the whole house.
How are they with picking up sand
8:11 THATS AN I3 PLUS BUDDY
Good video!

Ha ha lol that comment was funny about the turd not coming out made me laugh when the jelly bean got sucked up into the roomba bag
Hey
🎉. Ok. I. Wil
Would you recommend the roomba j series robots
Yes
Do the s9 for us

Mine came with the battery barrier box. No idea what to do with it. Any suggestions? Thanks
you should do a basement test like you did with the i7
I could....anyone else want to see that?
Sure
@@AdamsReviews yessss!
Kkjnmm…

Use every room in your house
Jennifer-- if he ain't got a pet... Ya DO know ... Ya are asking a grown man to sh## all over his house??
Hmm never seen the turn around method before, only the reverse-forward dirt mode. I'm amazed the floor navigation sensor works as well as it does. I had no idea this would vacuum in straight lines and cover the whole area.
I’m pretty sure that’s what it is
Love the videos you do thanks. Do you have a twitter page to follow?
I prefer if you show the whole run
Ok this sound like a hitachi cv v500...
Thank you for the awesome video!
I had this and sent it back because it was getting too many errors
Is to old ok
Yes
What are the differences between i3+ and i4+? I think the latter is available at Costco only.
exactly
Just got my i3+ but having issues connecting to my Android phone. Find & connects but stops at that point. Help?
sorry not sure. I use Iphone
I saw somewhere that iRobot took away the dirt detection feature but your i3+ has it so I guess they didn’t take it away
I honestly am not sure...If I did that exact test with the i7 or the s9 I think it would go back and fourth ALOT during that test.
@@AdamsReviews mabye it detects the rollers struggling a little idk
Dirt detect still is in the i3 but only the IR sensors by the bin, the caustic sensor is not in the i3
Tech Reviews and More! I agree
Denis Lara so it would need a crazy amount of debris to trigger the dirt detect mode?
Since this does not have a camera, how do you think it will work at night?
It should work fine. It just uses a floor tracker
Try coco powder it is difficult to pick up if rubbed into the carpet
I'm sure he STILL has to live there!! Lol
Can u do i3+ vs sand?
My typical test is cat hair and popcorn lol
I will add popcorn to the next one lol
@@AdamsReviews nice!
The popped or un-popped popcorn?? I have 2 dogs that eat more popcorn than I do... Sooo asking for them??
The i3 doesn’t have detect mode, so when you take off the rollers the is no gold thing on the cleaning head while the nother type of roombas have it.
It does have dirt detect mode. You will know it detected dirt when the ring around the clean button flashes blue.
Å
Omg they have removed camera and their Models barely navigate with camera. How does that work? 😂😂
It has a floor sensor
You keep mentioning an I 7 in this video? Is this an I 7 or a I 3?
i3+
