"It’s still going strong, doesn’t seem like it will ever die."

"it cleans very well ... getting all the pesky dirt we can’t even see and keeping the place tip top."

"The later Roombas with a camera/vision system are pretty good at avoiding things that could cause snags/clogs. ... I used to be vigilant with clearing the floor and even putting dining chairs on the table, but now I just have my Roomba run every night with dog toys, kid toys, wife's shoes and purse, chairs, charger cords, laundry baskets, and everything else blocking its path."

"The upper 900 series Roombas 980 and up do navigate well, but not as well as a Roborock."
