I have 3 roombas. One of them, an i8, worked well for about 3 years before it just stopped being able to navigate. The other two, 10 Max ($600 each), have been absolute trash from day 1. iRobot is in my top 3 worst brand experiences of all time.

And their products suck. I bought both the vacuum and mop during Covid. The mop always had much better programming. Now it gets about 1’ from the dock and spins in circles until it crashes into the dock and bunch then times out. It might work after trying 5-8 times. And even then it does a shit job

Yes. I have my combo 10 max that I run daily but every once in a while I still let my s9+ run. It’s the most beautiful robot vacuum made and it’s high quality strong suction too. It’s upsetting that iRobot didn’t evolve on the S platform

Just realised the new generation of iRobots are all Chinese with a (likely) reskinned app, as the new app only works with the new robots and the old app only works with the old robots. Disappointed but understandable...considering Irobot's finances. Will probably stick with my j7+ as the 10Max (last irobot's own design) does not seem to have navigstional improvements.

I’ve ordered like 6 or 7 of those things, pretty interesting to compare against my newest Roomba Combo 10 Max (paid $1,399 for it). And surprise, almost every single one I have received from Vine from third party brands do a way better job without so many issues as the Roomba, minus some very basic apps. The best one I have snatch and will swear by it is the Mova 10; excellent vacuum/mop combo, amazing app and way better options/features than Roomba. In fact, iRobot seems to have bought their design as the newest released Roomba is a Mova 10 in black. Check them out!

Yep, this is what the cleaning missions look like on my $1,399 Roomba; every day it’s something with it, whether it’s the full bin sensors tripping out, it getting stuck, or it just randomly stopping somewhere around the house until it runs out of the battery. I’ve also noticed the spinning brushes rattle loudly, since the first day I used it, and considered sending it back for a replacement but customer service told me it was normal operation. But I do stand behind the Mova 10 Pro and if you look at Roomba’s new robot, it’s the same as a Mova but in black, even the base it’s the same. https://preview.redd.it/emm7ak7i1ejf1.jpeg?width=1284&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=518e30ed73ecdf7605748e0310dc17cc3417a1c4

I’ve ordered a few, for the most part they’ve been great. The most expensive one was a Mova10 combo $1,099 ($699 after it was discounted) and it does a way better job than my Roomba 10 Combo Max which I paid $1,399 for. So yeah, I’d definitely snatch it!

I have been looking for one for years. My solution had been to just toss our old one in the shop when we upgrade the one in the house. My wife ran over one, they survive for about 6-12 months. True industrial ones are just stupid expensive. If you can find a used i-mop on eBay, that's the ticket, but it's not automatic.
