Less argument with iRobot 866!!

published

I have been using this fantastic vacuum cleaner for the last 2 years and since purchasing Roomba my partner is happier and less stressed (means less argument ;)). We absolutely love it. We have not used our traditional loud vacuum cleaner in house for awhile and I recommend Roomba to anyone who is tired of vacuum cleaning.

Purchased in January 2021 at Costco NSW, Auburn for A$850.00.

The everyday automated housemaid

published

Purchased this in 2017 and has never been happier. Makes my life so much easier with the push of a button. Yes it’s recommended to clear out smaller stuff off the floor before starting a job, but it still goes around obstacles such as table/chair legs perfectly fine. Hence I personally like to do it manually but I’m sure the scheduler also works like a charm. Easy cleaning and not too noisy either.

Perfect for me. I can’t live without it.

I absolutely love my robot vacuum cleaner, so much In fact that I have named her. Vivian. She cleans my floors and my carpeted areas while I sit and have a coffee. She’s so quiet and manovers all around the place. I just set her for the days that I want her to clean. She does it’s with ease. I just love her so much. The best thing I have ever bought.

Useless Roomba from irobot!

published

Our Roomba worked for a while but started to stop only after 90 secondes saying to clean brush cage. Brush cage are perfectly clean! Did contact support who told me to clean sensor (thanks, I know, it's shiny!). RE-re cleaned sensor, did not fix anything. They told me to buy new brush cage....(115$) which I did (Why why why?). Did not fix anything!
Conclusion:
DO NOT BUY IROBOT
Will work fine for a while then become USELESS!
After sell service is ZERO!
They are over brands out there!

Good - Everything I expected

published

This vacuum does everything I expected of it. After a Neato, which I considered useless and returned, I bought the Roomba with some trepidation. However, I have been pleasantly surprised. This vacuum battles a big house and 5 hairy dogs (don't ask), and does it pretty well. Not perfect, but hey, it saves me having to get the big vacuum out every day, and that is all I want. Would I buy another Roomba 866 if it died tomorrow? Yes.
