Have had robot vacuums for 15 years. Once you setup your home for a Roomba, cleaning is easy forever. But yeah, it took me a couple years really to get a house setup perfect for robot vacs. Tall enough furniture they can go under, no cords around, etc., etc.. I seriously haven't used a real vacuum more than like 5 times in the past 10 years. I have a 12+ year old Roomba 530, Had a 14+ year old Roomba Red (but it fell down the stairs :( ... I replaced it with a Eufy 11s), and a Neato Botvac D80. The Neato does my main floor, the 530 does my lower floor, the Red/11s is used in one large room. I moved only two times in the past 12 years. Each time I made sure to setup the new places for robots. They are amazing.
So my E6 model from Costco came with digital barriers. Turn them on and the robot will avoid that line. I put it near cords, rooms, etc. that I want it to avoid. Mine was on sale less than $300
I agree. I actually got really lucky and found a brand new roomba from a pawn shop for 170. I can say my biggest aggravation is when the main wheels need to be cleaned. But over all I really like my roomba
Loved this review! I love how you were very honest with the pros and cons. It’s so important to know these things especially since it’s an investment. Subscribed!!

On the plus side most of these problems have been completely solved with the Roomba J7+, will avoid wires, socks, & other objects. Has keep out zones for shaggy rugs. Maps and cleans each room or you can tell it to clean specific rooms. Better for allergens too.
You can buy the beacon towers that create a radar fence to avoid it going on your rug, or to stay out of a room if you want it to focus on other rooms. I like that it forces me to be aware of what is on the floor. It's helped train good habits into me about keeping my floors picked up. 😊
Statistically at least 20 percent of cat owners are allergic. I guess they’re worth it. I would probably still have cats if I was allergic. However children who are allergic to cats should never be living in a house with a cat. That’s almost child abuse. They have a much higher risk of developing asthma.

This has been super helpful. I'm selling my house and downsizing to a flat, and am really looking forward to getting one of these now, especially since I have two cats!
Is it a model with carpet boost technology? if not, maybe you should try it next time to fix your rug issues. If you go for more expensive one make sure it has "recharge and restart" technology and camera (which you mentioned). Also when you can set your google assistant to have your hoover working every time you leave the house (the noise you mentioned).
Use Earplugs. Or sweep yourself. When you're vacuuming take that time to rest. No one works when they are vacuuming. Unless you are the one vacuuming. It's a vacuum, you'll need like a headset or earplugs. That's what I do. Also if you want to room by room feature get the i3 Evo and up.
My 4150, Which I found at the end of the driveway next to the garbage back in 2012 in a very rich golf and tennis resort and HOA that I worked at I found. Does the same thing just no WIFI which I can live with. It had a bad battery. Got a new one and it's still going just fine. Has the self docking station, Proxy sensors. All that. $0 dollars plus $30 dollars for a battery and it works the same.
Good review but some of the negatives you mentioned are just common sense. You wouldn't vacuum over a floor or carpet when there's cables or other objects would you? I have one of these as well and it works great ,but its obviously not gonna put stuff away for me. Good review though and thumbs up!
Best decision I makeBISSELL PowerFresh Steam Mop now under my bed is clean and every hard to reach area without me doing the job myself. Love it. My friend think it was a waste of money at first now he love it more than me and telling his friends about it
I just got one of these off Amazon in their Black Friday sale, what I find annoying about it is that it goes about cleaning in a hap hazard manner rather than straight lines but that is my OCD kicking in LOL. Also the first time I used it, it missed large areas of two rooms and returned to base however I just used it again for the second time and this time it has done a much better job and cleaned virtually every corner although it still goes about it's way in a hap hazard manner! One other thing is it takes a very long time to clean the place if I did it myself I would have it done in a third of the time but it does it own thing and I don't have to do anything!
I feel like if you have pets and a lot of open floor space (my dining, kitchen, and entryway are open space) this is a no brainer. It doesn't even have to do a great job, just keep the main traffic areas clean would save me at 30 minutes a day.

Dont listen to jeepman89, buy the Roborock s5 MAX Irobot is overpriced garbage, you can get the 200 dollar roborock e20 and it has more features than even the e6 which is 300+ dollars.
Hey getting the e5 today. I’m interested in how you live with the your cat being allergic to it? I’m allergic to cats also but I want to get a cat . Do you take medicine or get an injections so you can live with the cat? I understand that it’s in their saliva transfer to their fur by licking and cleaning.
Hi I just got one of these for my birthday and went to set it up but have no power cord for the charger am I just missing it somewhere in the box or do I need to order that separately? Thanks
first of all...bed skirts are not suppose to be that long....they are suppose to just touch the floor but your bed needs to be lifted up higher for you to have your bed skirt fit properly......thus ends problem
It doesn't work as good as my Dyson Animal, but it's working on keeping things somewhat vacuumed when I go through lazy spells. You can set schedules up, so I have my cleaning each and every morning
It ain’t perfect, but it helps tremendously to clean 90% of all the dog hair off my hardwood floor everyday. All I do is occasionally move the foot rests and sweep
Almost perfect? Yeah, if you mean it dances around the floor while pushing your pet hair, dirt, and dander around. These things boast above normal suction power. I don't think there's any. Ours, only two hours out of the box managed to matt pet hair and leave it behind in tightly wound clumps. For $75 at wal mart, you get what you get with a basic upright vacuum. For$500 - $1000, this damn thing better at least leave a clean floor behind. It would probably be nice, for that money,, if it would cook you dinner and pick up the kids from school as well. Ours couldn't pick up dirt to compete with a swiffer. Save your money.
There are junk I have to vacuum behind it it gets stuck under Furniture and leaves dog hair in clumps around the house and when you buy the brushes and rolers under it you might just throw it out it is cheaper to use a upright vacuumed
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.
Perfect? It is not even close. I stopped using it for years and don't know what to do with it. A few but major drawbacks It does not clean stairs . It does not clean furniture with low clearance. The auto park and charge won't work if the charger is on a diff floor. It does not clean my house well with 1 dog and 2 cats, and a couple of long hair girls. Need to un-hair the brushes (take about 15 min) after every use. So a lot of manual work to overcome the above. Last but not least, noise - so it can't work during business hours - Both my wife and I work from home and we need a quiet environment to chat online frequently with no fixed schedule I still prefer my cordless Dyson which I have to spend more time for the cleaning but a lot more efficient considering the above. Irobot is cool, and fun. Does it work? No!

The E6 is the Honda Civic of robotic vacuums. It’s not the best out there, but it’s cheap, reliable and easy to fix.
So my E6 model from Costco came with digital barriers. Turn them on and the robot will avoid that line. I put it near cords, rooms, etc. that I want it to avoid. Mine was on sale less than $300

@Two Wongs Don’t Make A White I vacuumed my own damn floor for decades. I recieved the roomba as a gift. It does a better job than my upright vacuum.
@Two Wongs Don’t Make A White 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 nope, I'm good.
i think the main question everyone's thinking is how on earth did you manage to end up with a cat when you're allergic to cats hahaha
I have two and I’m allergic to EVERYTHING plus asthma. I manage it by purifiers and washing them every week including their teeth. They love it.
Statistically at least 20 percent of cat owners are allergic. I guess they’re worth it. I would probably still have cats if I was allergic.

I clicked on the link provided and is giving me E5 not E6. What kind do you have on the video?
Both are the same!! e6 just comes with an extra filter is all.
Great review of both good and bad about this vacuum, thanks.

6:09 cat attack!
Ordered the cheaper version of this. Look forward to it!
Hi I just got one of these for my birthday and went to set it up but have no power cord for the charger am I just missing it somewhere in the box or do I need to order that separately? Thanks
It’s a bit hidden, but it should be in a really slim box that was next to where your roomba was. :)
What prevented me from buying one is not having a one story house. Now that I do have a one story house, I am beginning to entertain a robot vacuum.
I believe that is a French Chartreuse? Does he have small half paws?

Is this loud?
Here because i came across with a used one on Facebook for $40 dlls. Feel like a winner 🙂
So....what happens in two years when the battery is dead?
