"It does an incredible job of getting into corners and pulling hair out of rugs"
"The Roomba S9 is an incredible vacuum and very good with lots of hair on both hardfloor and carpet."
"I was honestly surprised at how well it did ... We run it almost daily to keep up with the tumble weeds that congregate along the hall walls and heat registers."

"my favorite thing about it is the self emptying"
"The one big thing I did really appreciate is the self empty canister that I only needed to change monthly or so."
"Something with the clean base for sure. I have 3 Aussies and my s9+ will return twice in about the same sq footage to empty."

"I also have to be careful to pick everything up or it will get stuck after destroying my kids toys."
"Every morning it was a game to see where it got stuck or why it didn’t finish its job. ... Sometimes it was just sitting in the middle of my hardwood floor and said stuck."
"My s9 gets stuck on a 9 mm treshhold. ... That's where mine got stuck. Every damn time."

"the roomba gives zero craps if the rollers are hitting strong resistance and will just keep trying to spin. ... So with huskies filling the house with new massive fur tumbleweeds on a daily basis, the rollers would A) get animal hair wedged into their metaly rotatey motor parts almost instantly, B) keep spinning at full blast until they almost catch fire. ... house would smell like burnt plastic mixed with burnt hair after a run."
"or the rollers don’t load up with hair and melt the CHM."
"Breed specific stuff, the roombas have a HUGE problem with animal hair. Their rollers are not designed in any way that stops hair from getting wrapped up in the roller bits."

"my 18 month old s9+ unit that has been broken for last 4 months!!!! ... the robot is reporting an issue with them [cliff sensors], this is what is causing the undocking issues as well. ... a major part replaced at 2 1/2 mths old and then 12 months later is broken again"

"The S9 ended up in pieces."
"Their support sucks for my 18 month old s9+ unit that has been broken for last 4 months!!!! ... We do not offer a repair for this issue, since the replacement is not possible. ... Since the robot is no longer covered by its warranty, I cannot offer you any solutions other than the discount and trade-in. ... they refuse to even offer repair services"

"before the S9/J9 were an actual nuisance with noise."
"We could never do the S9+ more than once a day - and some days had to just cancel it - because it was so loud on our hardwood floors."
"Kind of loud on hard floors."
