i3 EVO

I just ordered my mom the Eufy Omni E28. She’s has cats and a lot of flooring. I gave her my Roomba i3 evo as an upgrade from hers. I wanted to get her the newer models but found out Roomba may go out of business until I saw Eufy E28. It looks promising

We have the i3 without the tower. It works ok. It helps, it still doesn’t get everything but it makes the floors look ok for a minute.

Check Facebook marketplace and the like, lots of people sell their like new or new ones. I got a Roomba + Braava combo for less than half MSRP brand new. I got it because I moved into a home with laminate floors instead of carpet, and it's been amazing. I have two cats, and so between their fur and the litter tracking, plus just life, the floors can get pretty dirty in just a couple days, to where I can feel it on my feet and I feel dirty walking around. Running my Roomba once in the morning everyday has kept everything feeling super clean, and I even have one that maps the house so I can have it just clean the kitchen after I finish cooking dinner. Like others said, it's not going to keep floors 100% clean, but it'll keep it a manageable 80-90% clean between your deep cleans.

Oh yeah, my mop doesn't heat the water at all. Doesn't compare to a proper actual hot mop, but it's more for just keeping it feeling nice between cleans.

I bought a roomba i3 in 2020, and it's still working fine Every part is easily replaced, and there is lifetime support that I use once to replace the battery Although that was before it was bought by Amazon, I don't know if it's still the same

Oh! I didn't know It's still robust and serviceable, but yeah, parts might be hard to find soon

For vac only, especially on carpet the roomba i3 on Amazon in like new condition was $70 last week. It’s $100 now but worth keeping an eye on it for a really cheap vacuum only robot. Especially on carpet the roomba 2 roller vacs do really well.

100%. I got a roomba i3 for under $50 and it vacuums on carpet really well. The roller design matters a lot, can’t believe some higher end models still have a single roller. Even with the patent expiring they still cheap out.

Roomba i3 on Amazon like new for $60. The base station came very used and clogged, complained to Amazon and got a full refund without having to return it. Does pretty well for my upstairs carpet only.

Love mine. The last one i had was an i3, so I love the improvements! The mopping is awesome, more effective than me pushing my steam mop around. The mapping was quick and I was so impressed with the 3D aspect. For the price at Costco, this is definitely worth it

I beta tested a shark and an update randomly disconnected it from the app and it would not connect again and their beta test support was useless in getting it reconnected. Tried blaming it on my mesh system. I went as far as to get a stand alone router/wifi from my internet provider and hook that up and try to connect it that way and still the same thing. The app would freeze once it found the robot, even after updates. I really liked how the vacuum worked up until then but I’d never buy one after that. My 600 series Roomba and i3 Roomba have never had Wi-Fi issues on any of our network iterations over the years. I ended up buying a Eufy over Black Friday.
