I have 2 dogs 2 cats, all LVP and a few thin rugs. I have the i3+ going on 4 years. It’s a great in between cleaning but you still need to vacuum.

They do not replace vacuuming, you’re still gonna need to do that, but they do work great for in between cleaning. I only have vacuum wouldn’t waste money on a mopping one. I have the i3+ and it works like a champ. Our house is 2,340sqft all LVP with a few thin rugs. We have 2 dogs 2 cats, and 3 girls in the house who I think lose as much hair as the pets or more…. I personally don’t think they have the power to do carpet.

I have the Roomba i3 with tower, I think that’s around $500. It is the second unit through warranty and the new unit has had two chassis replacements. Cleans well but damn the maintenance on it has been crazy.

I agree, it’s a shitty vacuum. I’ve spent $500+ on a Roomba i3 and I would do it again just for the dog hair. It’s a dog hair sweeper and it does a damn good job at that.

I just bought the Roborock Qrevo Pro on sale from Home Depot for $512 shipped. It was delivered today. I had an IRobot I3+ with cleaning base and a Bravaa that have served me well for 6+ years. They still work but just moved into a new house that’s all tile and I have small kids and a cat so decided to upgrade. Very impressed with the Roborocks first run and the price was great. The Pro has edge cleaning and warm water mopping and warm drying. The mapping is stellar compared to what I had with the older iRobot units. Will be retiring my iRobot machines to the ADU as they still work and I hate to throw away useful things. I’ve owned iRobots for 15+ years and would have gone with another but the bankruptcy stuff made me skeptical of longevity. Overall very pleased with my Roborock purchase and I went ahead and added the extended warranty for 3 years $75 for peace of mind since it’s my first Roborock.

The fact that it gets stuck on literally everything and I spend more time finding it, moving it to a new area, or unclogging it because it ate a bug or something. Then it goes back to its dock, doesn't empty, reports the bag being full when it isn't, or my personal favorite, rolls up to the dock and then dies before it actually finishes docking so when I check on it a couple days later to see why it isn't working I have to move it 2 inches up the base so it can recharge itself. I just use a regular vacuum to save myself time.

Adhd here with two cats. When I first got my roomba i3 plus I was amazed at just how much weight off ones shoulders robot vacuums can relieve, the braava mop was also nice.... but eventually I started seeing flaws and in my new place they struggled with thresholds and then I heard of roomba going bankrupt So I decided to bite the bullet and got the curv s5x and it is also an amazing upgrade! Just the lidar alone is such an upgrade (besides not being able to go under my couches skirt)  People can complain/make fun of how everything is smart/automated now a days but for a lot of people it can make all the difference
