960

Roomba 960 and it still works great too. We've had to replace the battery once and the "tires" a couple times, that's about it. With the new OEM battery, it actually runs ~2 hours on a charge. Now we get to see if they remain fully functional after the dust settles. I think the 600 to 900 series should be mostly OK, aside from not having post-cleaning reports and having to manually press the start button if the servers go down. The newer ones might be totally bricked, on the other hand, without connectivity.

My rumba 960 is great. Have had for ten plus years

I have been using old roomba 960s and 980s and a scooba. The scooba broke, so I bought a Matic vacuum/mop recently. It maps very quickly and has never gotten stuck. Matic is a new company, I have been following their progress for several years. They started shipping in 2024. The software is constantly updated and improved similar to Tesla. Matic is an American company.

I have been using roomba 805s, two 960s and two 980s without the app - no wifi connection. They are probably the best irobot made, but they are really old. I recently bought a Matic vacuum (there is a reddit group for it) since the security is much better than other new robots. That was part of the design criteria.

Have had mine (966) for 6 years now, daily used.

I have a pretty basic Roomba 960 that I probably got six or seven years ago. Works fine on LVP flooring. Only glitch was that I used to have a very high-contrast area rug that confused the “cliff” sensor so I had to keep foil taped over the sensors (because you can’t just turn them off, even though I didn’t have any stairs at that place) and sometimes dust would get trapped under it and I’d have to redo it. No issues other than that though.
