iRobot Roomba i3 vs Samsung Jet Bot+ with Clean Station VR30T85513W

In any case, in the actual pickup tests, i was more than impressed with the i3. In fact, in terms of the i3's cleaning performance, it seemed to be as...

I am not satisfied with this at all. It looks cool I guess. Oh and it gets stuck ALL THE TIME. Weird shaped corner? It’s going to get stuck there all the time, just ramming into the wall repeatedly

In a weird shaped room like a hallway or around furniture legs, it is ponderous and feels like it runs over the same spot again and again. In a big room it makes neat, straight, long lines. For a robot that only knows where it has been by using a tiny sensor on the bottom and the front bumper, it performs remarkably well. Not nearly as well as a LIDAR or camera robot but my wife has privacy concerns about having a live camera in the house so we aren't buying any more intelligent of a Roomba

I have little faith it is doing anything other than combing my shag carpets to 'look like the vacuum' has traveled over it...highly unlikely a deep clean us happening

- Flic buttons (or some other 3rd party) to allow people in the house to control things without needing to remember obscure routine names.

And despite the Samsung going offline, it still continues to use up the battery, so by the time you find it, it has no battery life and has to be charged. They really need to allow you to continue to connect with the vacuum even if it gets stuck. There's also questionable availability for replacement parts. I can find third-party replacement bags, but you can't order replacement brushes or rollers anywhere

However, it never even was able to fully map my house because it would get stuck on the low pile rug constantly. Kind of defeats the purpose of being able to turn it on and not having to worry. I would have kept it if it cost $100.

yes, her name is johnny. i’ve never owned a robot vacuum cleaner, and i’m impressed! i haven’t tried it in the living room yet, but my gosh, johnny found all the hairs on my floors. i’m honestly quite impressed with this little robot. i’m not tech savvy, but it wasn’t that difficult in regards to setting it up

When I finally started to use it, the map features were nice, the suction was good (two dogs in our home), and it wasn’t too loud. However, overall, I prefer my other vacuum as the map is in real time and it’s more user-friendly and has fewer errors and issues.

PROS: The suction power on the robot is great. The fact that it uses lasers that keep it from bumping in to things is great. It also makes it work faster than others as it doesn't waste time bumping in to things and having to back up and turn. CONS: It won't go under the couch despite being able to fit

The Roombas well-designed and well built. The I3 certainly has a more powerful suction than the Model 650 and it does well traversing between our area rugs, hardwood and tile. Somehow, the I3 seems less attracted to charging cords and rug fringes than Ruby was. OCD types will be thrilled by the straight-line navigation of I3

The circular design allows it to turn around 360 pretty much in tight situations whereas Samsungs newer design looks like a dustpan was attached making it harder to turn around. You can designate multiple rooms after the robot has surveyed your house. You can designate off limit areas the robot will not enter to clean. The vacuum can move pretty well between different floor types, carpet and hard floor
