If you’re like me, besides doing the dishes, vacuuming is up there as my least favorite chore. I’m so relieved it got a good review after watching your video ☺️ i don’t really need the bells and whistles of a top camera. Also, don’t have to worry about cleaning the inside of the machine as much. Also, with the app, it’s times to automatically vacuums while im still in bed, waking up!!

I got mine recently on Black Friday and I couldn’t be happier. It has a bit of trouble right next to the front door because of the rug (it’s a rugable rug with the Velcro bottom and washable top) so it struggles to reach the area between the rug and doorframe, but other than that, it’s been pretty flawless. I was surprised to see the attention it took to the dining room, taking so much effort to get through and around all of the chair legs. Very little space was missed. All and all, very impressed with it this far.

Just bought 2 (i3+) vacuums for my birthday gifts to myself, and love them! Mine came with little towers to create your own keep out zones. Haven’t tried those yet, but the vacuum itself did a very good job. We have 2 dogs, 3 cats, kids that consistently visit, so our floors gave it a lot to work with. I would give a solid A-.

Mind that keep out zones are a must Most of the time. It’s not just about not wanting to clean a particular area, it’s because often robots get stuck at the same spots until you go there and get them out, and this features allows avoiding that problem.

"14 inch... no robot vacuum can handle hair that long" thank you so much for finally doing this! Please keep it up. It seems like there must be a significant portion of households with somebody with long hair. And even if all robot vacuums handle it badly, I'd still like to know which does best. This finally confirms that self emptying vacuums so far are pointless for me, since I have to detangle them every time I empty the bin anyway. At least my roomba e6 is far less work than my 655 was, due to the new roller design. And of course they're both far better than manually vacuuming. 3:57

I love my i3, it is my first robot vacuum and I appreciate vacuuming being off my chore list. I run it every weekday and the bin is always full. I see battery life being referred to as not important regarding the recharge and resume and I would argue that it does. My Roomba only has to vacuum about 600-1200 sq ft depending on what doors we close that day and it takes anywhere from 4-6+ hours with the charging time. It usually has to recharge 2-3 times. If you aren't home all day that wouldn't matter but I homeschool so we are almost always here and having the vacuum stop and go all day can get annoying. It was really annoying last year when we were virtual schooling and always had zooms to work around. I love your reviews, I'd love if you would do the Eufy G30 Edge- I'm considering it for my parents and would love one of your in depth reviews on it!

The nice thing that Roomba's need is the ability to clean close to their base stations. They avoid them like the plague at least till it's time to dock. They don't clean around or very close to the station which is odd. I wonder if they can change that with a firmware/software update, just to allow the vacuum to get closer. Not edge cleaning close, but at least closer. That is my only gripe with my i7+ otherwise I love it, does a fantastic job every time. With 4 cats, it keeps the fur, and dust bunnies down to a minimum, furnace filters last A LOT longer, and you see a lot less dust and fur build up on the air returns. They really are great machines!

Seems like one of the best options for most people. As long as you don't require app control / no go zones, then, it's great. I have an older Neato D80. Still works great. Not going to replace it. It has the lidar or laser navigation; but, no app control, nothing. Just push a button. That's how I prefer to use these. I like to do a quick check of my home when I press the button. I do keep it robot safe, but, you never know if you left something out. If my Neato ever dies, this i3 may be the best option. I bet in a year or two it will be low cost and still amazing.

Well, my neato uses magnetic straps, I do have a single strip stuck under my bed to block off the ac plug where I have some cords running behind the bed baseboard. So, it just blocks off like the top foot of the bed (like under where pillows would be). I guess that single spot I could use no go lines.

We do have one issue with it though and it's with the app. The old version was great we could see the map of our home and where the vacuum was but the app has been updated and we think that it's actually gone backwards, we can no longer see the map of our home or where the robot is if it runs out of battery. I have tried to contact iRobot about it but had no response. Have you noticed this with your 960 and is there anything we can do? Keep up the great videos. Neil.

No camera means the i3 can’t do clean zones or clean individual rooms. I didn’t realize it when I bought our i7+ but the ability to clean a specific room has become one of its most important features. I’d even say it’s vital now that we’re rarely out of the house for more than a few minutes a day. I’ve developed a routine of vacuuming rooms when we’re not using them. Or when one of the cats use the box just saying, “Alexa, vacuum the laundry room.” Will never consider a robovac without the ability.

I had issue with the Roomba i3+ not ejecting into the base. So my husband use a air compressor to clean under the bumper and that worked it ejected into the canister on the base. Just wanted to mention that because it would always fill up the Roomba canister would be full on vacuum but stopped ejecting into the base. Best to let your Roomba run the whole house twice a week. The more you let it sit the battery runs lower. Keeping it running more often will keep your battery in shape. I have had mine for a year now.

They wont have any pets, but a few rugs.. Based on your reviews, I think the i3 will be the best option, I want a robot that can clean room by room vs random. I understand it cant specifically go to a particular room since it doesnt have a camera right?. The Livingroom/kitchen is where the most attention is needed daily, and it seems like I can just set the i3 to clean this large space on a schedule vs the whole house right?

I guess I have to wait if BF brings any good deals on T8 AIVI +. It really seems the one go solution for family with 2 small kids. No go zones, self empty, toy avoidance.. I want my vacuums be like my portfolio. Buy and forget. Let them do the work For me. And then maybe replace our hadheld vacuum + normal vacuum with something like Dyson V8 and I'm set! Thanks again! like&subbed and can't wait if Neato might bring anything new to the table with D8/9/10. I guess no self emptying so.. :/

As of February 2022, the Roomba i3 supports the same mapping capabilities as the i7 and s9. iRobot had an software update.

Hi will you be testing the new iRobot combo with mop feature soon?

I don’t have money to keep buying roombas LOL, I was literally torn between the i7 and the i3+. I originally bought a 675 and it constantly got stuck on my bar stools and in stupid places literally 3-5 times per run. I was debating buying those little $100 things that create no go zones to keep it away from specific areas but I was basically getting to a point where I might as well return the 675 and buy the i7 or i3+ based on cost of the 675 plus 2 sets of the $100 barrier things. I sat at Best Buy for a half hour debating the i3+ or i7, in the end I chose the i7 and it’s great ..I set up the keep out zones but I don’t even think I needed to do that because during the mapping process it did not get stuck once, the 675 struggled with my barstool and I bought the i7 to do a keep out zone in those areas but I don’t even have the keep put zones in that area and it still hasn’t gotten stuck there (amazing to me LOL).. I really want the auto empty but at the same time I don’t want my roomba to be stuck every time I turn it on ..I just can’t swing the $600 current price for the i7+ LOL ..I could wait a couple months and just buy the clean base I guess..you should incorporate some circle metal based stools to your test to see if they get hung up on it LOL

I've had a couple of "dumb" navigation robot vacuums and now I have a Roborock. There's no way I could go back to the old way. Keep out boxes and no go lines make life so much easier! I love being able to choose what individual rooms get cleaned etc.

another difference is the brush setup. i3 has dual extractors like a 960 and 980 but ,looks like on the i7 they went back traditional style on the i7 like their 500 and 600 series where one brush is the extractor and the on top is actually and straight brush for pickup

seems like if it can do recharge and resume and basic maps, it should in theory be able to support keep out zones? Also slightly confused why my 966 doesn’t - when it provides maps also. Its a shame as my next robot vac needs keep out zones so thats an expensive bullet point for me.
