This is our first foray into the world of Robot vacuums and must say I personally am blown away by it. We have owned it for the last one month or so. We chose the S9+ iRobot Roomba since based on my research, it is the best robotic vacuum at this time. So far it has fit this bill perfectly. The installation was very simple and my daughter did it since she was so super excited about it that she would not wait up for me. So by the time I got to it, she had already installed it and kept it ready to go. We put in the laundry room and it does not take much space. We started the mapping run on day one of installation. It took a good 5-6 hours and we had a bit of doubt as to what exactly it was doing. But apparently this robot learns and now we have a daily schedule that vacuums the most frequently areas which it finishes in an hour and 10-12 mins like clock work. We have tiles on the first floor with carpet in two rooms. The vacuum switches from tile to carpet mode effortlessly. The vacuum’s suction (S9+ has the highest suction in current range of iRobot vaccums) seems just right. I am amazed at how the vacuum navigates itself through the maze in your house. The careful drive feature does work and it does not bump into objects. Also it seems to clean in areas that our usual vacuum does not reach. Although my wife would occasionally sweeps the floor to bring dirt from under normally stationary objects like sofa etc, it is not needed everyday. For the daily quick clean, make sure though that there are no dangling wires that may get entangled in the vacuum or any clothes. The vacuum can get stuck if there are clothes lying around. We do “clean everywhere “ deep clean on the weekends and that job finishes in about 5 years. If I had to suggest improvements, I would say somehow if they can make it more quieter in future, it would be awesome. Also I know this is asking too much, but if it can do stairs and go on second floor too. :) Little bit regarding the Mop. We were debating whether we should buy the Vacuum and Mop combo but decided to go for it since Bestbuy was giving a nice discount on the combo during the Black Friday sale. The mop does a decent job, is very quiet and even tells you if you forget to fill the cleaning fluid. It takes a long time though so if anything, that is what I would ask for improvement. All in all, very happy with the purchase!

Both units work very well. The vacuum is by far the best robot vacuum I’ve come across. I have 3 cats, a dog, and 2 chinchillas so needless to say I have a lot of pet hair floating around. The vacuum does an amazing job at cleaning virtually all of the pet hair among other dirt and debris from my floors. However I do have a couple gripes with it. First, it is a very loud unit. It almost rivals a traditional vacuum in terms of noise. There is an option for “quiet” operation but take that with a grain of salt because it is still very loud with that enabled. Second, the front bumper seems to get “stuck” a lot. It’s almost every time I run it I have to tap the bumper to fix it otherwise it’ll dance in a circle thinking it’s constantly hitting a wall. That being said I would suggest someone be home while the vacuum unit is running, just to help ensure it cleans your home and not just a small circle. The mop works very well. It’s good to help maintain clean floors and works well on all hard surfaces. This unit I would suggest running while you are not home. My house is only 1800sqft and it takes the mop about 3 hours on average to do just the living room and kitchen. It will auto detect carpet surfaces and avoid those areas, but this unit will take a long time to clean. This unit will not deep clean so anything that requires a little more elbow grease will need to be hit with a traditional mop. The one thing I love is that both units will communicate to one another. So you can start a new job that has the mop clean after the vacuum is done without the need of opening your app back up to start them individually. I’ve seen this bundle go on sale multiple times, if you can get it while on sale it’s 100% worth it.

Both these devices are amazing I have hardwood floors I have to clean every week for them to look nice and this combo does it for me great products. The robots have a learning curve that’s frustrating they get caught and can’t return but after running them 3 days in a row that has been cured so try not to be turned off by the early issues it gets better.
