Combo® i3+ Self-Emptying Robot Vacuum & Mop

I have this one it works with no problems.

It works well, my dog is afraid of it so it’s hard to find a time when I can run it unless I’m at the dog park but on a schedule never works out. Don’t forget to pick up your cell phone charger cables as they can damage the rollers. Not as convenient as you would think, it works better if you move ottoman’s and small tables out of the way first, so you kind of have to prepare to run it. It does clean well overall though! Roomba I3 plus

I have a Roomba i3+, and what you described with it leaving the base and returning means the charging contacts are dirty. Either on the base station or Roomba, or both. Also, if it's escaping and falling down stairs, the sensors are dirty.

I have a Roomba i3+, but a change in layout has confused it beyond belief. Any vac only with self empty with decent mapping/ navigation (such as not banging itself into the wall for 40 minutes)?

Our irobot i3+ lasted 25 months. Wasn't great when it worked either tbh

iRobot i3+. Literally a tank. Ran it three times a week for over three years. Over 1000 hours and 300,000 sqft of cleaned area. Replaced the battery for $50 and was still running fine… until it ate poop. Twice. Finally decided it was time to upgrade to a S1 Pro. Might clean up the i3 and retire it to garage duty.

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
