Agreed! We just got the 504 plus and love it.
Do you mean one like the 504 plus? The green roller, rubber brushes? Mine doesn't do that but it is new.
I have a golden retriever and just got the Roomba 504 Plus. I love it! No more golden tumble weeds lining the hallway and it empties itself 🙂
I just went from a roomba i3 to a Roomba plus 504, it's a vacuum with an auto empty dock. Two giant dogs, tile/rugs/carpet in our home and expecting our first baby. This version is smarter and quieter than our last one, with multiple cleaning modes (smart, spot, standard, and deep) and the map is user friendly! I can just select what rooms I want and what type of vacuuming I want and it does it's thing. If it gets too full mid job it goes and empties itself. The auto dock is loud like a shop vac or tiny jet, but it's only about 10 seconds of noise and it's done. The dock lets you know when the bag is full. I work 10 hour days and come home, eat dinner, and while I shower I select a room or two for it to go to town on. It doesn't bump into stuff like the i3 did because it has a front camera, headlight, and better LiDAR system. I know Roomba is facing a financial crisis and potential bankruptcy, but I'm not regretting my purchase whatsoever. I got it on sale for black Friday from Amazon for 379 (and then it went down further to 329 lol)
You care about mopping? If not then I’d recommend the 504 plus or the 705 plus. 504 plus is same as 705 plus except a bit lower suction power
The new roombas have quality issues? The 105,205,504, and 705 releases
What you need is a Roomba with a base: the "+" model. It self empties into the base. It changes your life. I have an old English Sheepdog
I bought a Roomba that can mop and vacuum (pricey models are great). I bought a bunch of replacement rags/mops on Temu for a few euros, and exchange them every now and then. All you have to do besides that is fill its water tank with clean water and floor soap. I also went on my Roomba's App, drew out a map of my house, and set a cleaning schedule for every single day on setting 'deep clean'. And he keeps the floors like 98% spotless, while we have 2 long-haired dogs and 1 short hair cat. We still vacuum and mop ourselves like once a week or so. But if need be we could easily skip that. The difference has been amazing. Googly eyes are optional. ;) Why do it yourself if a robot can do it for you?
I love my Roomba (no mop), and have owned it since Covid. Use my Upright e/o week, then Roomba 3-4 days each week. Am Amazed at the amount of lint/dust/hair/crud I find in Roomba on day-1 after 4 days of not using either. The upright bag needs replacing only once a year.
I Jumped the Robo Vacs wagon with a cheap " bump and go " to see if it was a fit for me.. Finally gave up after 3 years, RIP, so decided to get into the new Roomba line with Lidar and " advertised" better bells and whistles.. My dead $80 Vac beats the hell put of the $250 I paid for this crap and the headaches I endured with the software wasn't worth it.. Still after many updates, my Lefants software was better than this one.. Roomba is on it's way out and rightfully so..
My Roomba is also lasting like forever, I just replace the battery every couple years and it still comes back with a lot of debris it captured. The bot is 880. Also their new LiDAR bot is high quality too
