Thank you! I just bought the i5 and although I have The app on my phone and even downloaded the instructions and read everything I still had questions. You answered everything. You have saved me a bunch of research time.

I just got this roomba model, and I love it. It's a very good price and quality in cleaning is great, more expensive models have some extra perks but I honestly don't mind moving a few rugs for floor mop. On the other hand fingers crossed I don't have cat litter accident! Very clever place for home base, I wish I thought of that 😊 and a little tip for placing the mop, the blue plastic square part on the mop goes into a blue pocket so its more secure 😊

Awesome review. Two immediate {maybe absent-minded} questions .. > Does it include a HEPA filter and can it be replaced. > Do you HAVE to use the mop feature, or will it work the best as just a vacuum.

Just got one of these & have been thinking like it all day 😅 Amazing piece of tech. Re the rug issue when mopping - I have one large area rug in a high traffic area I’d like to mop regularly, and I’m guessing one of the virtual walls (which can project in a circle) might be able to keep it off most of my rug. So I’ll be getting one of those to test it out.

How is it with stairs? Can you map both levels at initial setup? I'm buying one for the family and I have the cheaper model in my single-story home and like you said that one just seems to run around the room without much thought, worried if this model is able to stop itself from falling downstairs.

Does the vacuum still auto empty if the mop bin is on? Also does the mopping results look like someone hand moped with a hand held one?

Hi Paul. I just bought an i5 and I am very frustared !! The app does not work on my phone. What can I do ? Heeeeelp please !!

I wish we had the same experience. The first one they sent wouldn't pair with my network and I had to return it. The second tangled with whatever cords it came across and the mop feature didn't work at all. It just stopped functioning when I snapped it in. I sadly returned the second one and hope I can find an upgraded experience somewhere. I've heard the Chinese models are far superior to iRobot now.

I too have horrible experience

@gabrielmenescal 2 ай бұрын

My house has 2 floors. How can I do to make it work? Should I move the base from bottom to top floor? Or leave on the bottom floor and make it do a random clean on the top? Anyone, experiences with pets? I have a dog, and some hair on the house.

@ryanderdall3269 3 ай бұрын

Do you leave your i5 on the main floor of your house, or do you take it to other floors to have it clean there too? How easy would it be to have it clean the main floor one day, then move it to a lower level to clean a different floor the next day?

@garyuppledycktyke9073 3 ай бұрын

it’s not that hard but if you do leave the base in the open so it can be easily moved

Never buy this iRobot products. It is made by a scam company. I bought brand new from an eBay seller. It is still under warranty and it broke down. The support person told me because I didn't purchase it from an authorized seller. So there is no warranty. They told me I have to pay for the repair even though it is still under warranty. Avoid this scam company.
