So smart and easy. Doesn’t get hung up. Just does it’s job. Love it ### 5/5 — Always clean home *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* I satisfied with my iRobot ### 2/5 — Long journey *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* I so wish my review was better….. My iRobot is named “Kyle”. My wife and I have dust allergies and hoped Kyle would keep dust to a minimum on our hardwood floors. Kyle is very unpredictable. He might work fine in the morning and have problems for the next few days?? Honestly, AI has been the best was to address all the problems and issues but still a long way from reliable. I’m somewhat tech-savvy but this has tested my armor. Unfortunately, I won’t recommend this vacuum to anyone. I hope that the engineers who design these vacuums can improve them someday. ### 3/5 — It gets confused *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* I’ve had this one for a couple years, and it just gets lost sometimes like it’s brains missing and then it starts working again, then it stops then it starts. Unlike other iRobot products I’ve used. ### 5/5 — Mop Top *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* The classic is a great little cleaner.Have used for several years and it still works great. I don’t think they make it anymore, but I would recommend iRobot products. Seems good and durable. ### 5/5 — Great for older folks *2026-08-23, version 7.17.5* Our IRobot is great. After initial setup over a year ago it has performed really well. We have a fully tiled. Bachelor suite in Costa Rica. It gets under tables and bed where we have difficulty reaching. I clean it out after every session but only with dry brush and damp sponge. Do not use mop function. I do that by hand mop. Quicker and at least gives me exercise. 😄😄👍🏻. Thanks for a well designed device with good strong materials. ### 4/5 — Wifi job control is the best *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* Pro: wifi control, self empty is great ### 5/5 — Keeping it CLEAN👍 *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* Great job always keeping it clean 👍 ### 5/5 — Very pleased! *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* It keeps my floors clean and free of dust bunnies!! The app lets me know when to change the parts to maximize its cleaning ability. ### 3/5 — Mop doesn’t work *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* I need help with my vacuum it quit mopping ### 5/5 — Best thing that happened to me *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* I just love having this app because it allows me to vacuum my house while I’m not at home or while I’m at home. It’s easy to use it’s quick it’s smart. It makes my life so much easier it communicates with me very well. ### 4/5 — Programming *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* Cleaning ocurrs from north to south and other days from east to west the same area. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* This is one of the most enjoyable products that I have ever purchased. I have a bad back and it’s so difficult to vacuum this vacuum is the best. I recommend to everyone planning to get one for my 3 kids. ### 5/5 — i3 + Roomba *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* Excellent I just love it the scheduled programming makes it so easy to clean the individual rooms. ### 5/5 — Perpetual clean *2026-08-22, version 7.18.1* Awesome. ### 5/5 — The Real Deal *2026-08-22, version 7.18.1* It’s was to think these devices are nothing more than gimmicks that will just be up in a future donation pile, but they do truly get the job done! I’m not asking for a deep clean here, just daily or bi-daily maintenance, and they do it. Good show, Roomba! ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Slow app *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* Why is it every time I open the app now it spends over a minute “loading your experience” ### 1/5 — Robot is no longer able to return home *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* The robot cannot consistently return to its dock, it usually stops right in front of it, but isn’t able to return home ### 1/5 — Switching devices *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* Why haven’t they addressed the long standing issue when switching roomba devices? ### 1/5 — iRobot will not come off charger wheels have been changed and I did everything suggested. *2026-08-23, version 7.18.1* IRobot will not come off the charger the wheels just continue to turn. I’ve changed the wheels out bought new ones and it does the same thing I have to pick it up and take it off the charger. Help ### 1/5 — Poor functioning *2026-08-21, version 7.18.1* Will not go back to base for recharge. EVER . When moping it never has put dirty liquid in the on board collection container in the base. Mist jobs it stops in one place moving back and forth in a tiny tiny area until the battery discharges. It can find the base after small area cleanups. Have been a customer for many years. ### 1/5 — Fix the App! *2026-08-21, version 7.18.1* About 2-3 months ago the app started getting “stuck” on one machine and I couldn’t move it to another machine. I have to delete the app and reinstall it to get it to work. I have 6 machines and 2 of them cause the app to get stuck and unable move to another machine. I really loved the app before you updated it so how about fixing it? ### 1/5 — Poor Machine *2026-08-20, version 7.18.1* For the last six months this THING keeps saying that it cannot find my network, it’s home is only seven feet from my modem and router. My iRobot is screwed up! ### 1/5 — Terrible app *2026-08-20, version 7.18.1* Nothing ever works correctly. Very aggravating. ### 1/5 — Vacuum never works right, app always saving maps. *2026-08-18, version 7.18.1* This vacuum and this company needs to update. Takes too long to save maps. Doesn't need to save map if it left dock and goes back immediately. Never knows where its going. Maps change and dont make sense. Always says close lid but lid is closed.....frustratimg ### 1/5 — Not good *2026-08-16, version 7.18.1* Regret ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Love Roomba *2026-08-25, version 7.18.1* Roomba sometimes has to be coaxed to do a complete cleaning but overall makes my life much easier. ### 5/5 — OMG ! Heaven sent ! *2026-08-25, version 7.18.1* So much help in cleaning our home areas. The auto dump makes for simple clean up ! ### 5/5 — Great Cleaning *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* Overall great cleaning ### 5/5 — Sunshine robot *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* We love our robot. It does so good. His name is sunshine. He is the best.💗💗 ### 5/5 — Fantastique *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* Très heureux de mon achat ### 5/5 — Lifesaver *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* The vacuum is great, gets everywhere, is intelligent. The app conveniently tells where the vacuum cleaned, allows schedules, start remotely. Also helps keep track of maintenance, repairs, and errors. ### 5/5 — Love it *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* One of the best investments that I have brought for myself. ### 5/5 — Great support for routine cleaning *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* Excellent innovation!! ### 5/5 — Vacuum seems to be working just fine *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* My wife and I are new at this, but we like it so far ### 5/5 — Paul of Western Australia *2026-08-24, version 7.18.1* Best housekeeper I ever had ! Sit and enjoy a coffee while Ruby Roomba vacuums the house (or get on with something else). Considering upgrading to the self-emptying model so I can set a schedule and forget for a while. Update: we now have the i7 in the house and Ruby has been relocated to my art studio. She is semi-retired and only works two days a week. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
