iRobot Roomba i3+ and Braava Jet m6 Bundle (Open Box)

This is my second review ever I think in about 15 years. This product absolutely sucks. My parents had roomba’s growing up and they were great. I had an older, cheaper model and that was also pretty good. This one, however, is absolute garbage. To start, connecting it to wifi is seemingly impossible and requires some level of black magic sorcery that I simply don’t possess. This is 2024. How could you be that bad with technology you are forcing on people? Why does my vacuum NEED WiFi? I understand having it as a feature so you can do things with the app, but why is it a necessity- especially when you’re this bad at app development? The app is absolute garbage. It defies logic how they could have screwed this up so badly. Every two weeks you’ll get a notification you need to replace parts or something. Actually, scratch that. It happens once a month because every two weeks would imply it actually runs regularly. It doesn’t. It gets stuck in completely ordinary places. Even better, when it’s done it has about a 13% chance of docking itself correctly so that it will actually charge. When it does actually run, it does a mediocre job at best. I currently have it scheduled to run every other day-though it rarely does. To put it plainly, it looks like I live in squalor. It doesn’t pick anything up. It is loud as hell. And it takes forever. I have a normal sized home with two stories. I only use it on the first floor. If the vacuum starts at 9AM, you can be certain it will run for 5 hours. During those 5 hours, it may need to charge. And then it will screw up docking almost every single time and your floors will never be clean. With the amount of time I’ve spent trying to maintain this absolute pile of junk, I could’ve bought a normal vacuum and done the job once a week myself. I’d have a lot less gray hair, a much cleaner floor, and about $300 in my pocket.
