iRobot Roomba 605 Vacuum Cleaner

The service was excellent. Ordered Sunday lunchtime standard delivery, arrived next day early pm. Only had it a week but so far it's performed beyond my expectations. It's the basic model, no programming, no apps, just press the start button and off it goes. It returns to the charging station automatically when the battery is low and recharges but you have to press the start button to set it off again. The dust box is small and we empty it after every charge cycle (about 40 minutes). This is very easy to do and takes seconds. It works in a random way, sets off purposefully in one direction until it bumps (gently) into something then turns and sets off again. Don't watch it to see if it covers a certain area because that will drive you mad! If you're not satisfied just set it going again. I'm surprised at how much such a small, low powered cleaner collects and I've become a fan of the robot cleaner but don't expect miracles. It does not clean edges and corners as well as you would by hand but given the time it saves that's a price worth paying. It is very quiet. I endorse all the positive reviews on the site. The idea of pre-programming, Alexa control and suchlike was attractive but costs a lot extra so we thought we'd see how the basic model worked first. Now we have it, and since the dust box needs emptying frequently, I'm not certain how you could set this to clean a number of rooms in your absence without the dust box becoming clogged. I wonder if anyone has resolved this problem.

Reviewing this one after having used it for a couple months now. This was the first time I had purchased a robot vacuum. Like many, I had been intrigued for years! Sounds like a dream, doesn't it? I think anyone going in with realistic expectations will be very pleased with this. It's clearly an entry level product and the price tag can be a bit daunting because of it - but I definitely haven't been disappointed. So what makes it worthy of 4 stars? It does exactly what you'd hope. I set it off and it trundles around like a drunk baby, bumping into all the sides of my rooms and vacuuming along the way. It collects up a lot, and it's always pleasing to empty the dust tray and see how much it's picked up. My floors have definitely never been cleaner (helped by the fact I'm a lazy millennial that didn't really vacuum all that much before) It manages to cross over between hard floor and carpet without any issues at all, does a good job on both. Is it perfect? No. It cant do corners, it can't do stairs. But I haven't taken any stars off for that, because realistically you should be expecting that going into this. So why 4 stars instead of 5? I'll go back to the drunk baby part. It just isn't very smart. There doesn't seem to be a lot of intelligence in the way it cleans and this can be frustrating to watch. When it realises it has to dock (either tray full or battery low I assume) it can take a while to find it's way back. Also, it will sometimes not quite get itself placed correctly on the charger, meaning it doesn't re-charge when I expect it too. But, these aren't showstoppers for me. I still use it daily (at least) and it is doing all I would have expected. I'm pleased with it, I would absolutely recommend it.

I was in two minds whether to buy this as I felt it was quite expensive for something I didn't know would work well, I'm so glad I did finally buy it. I was expecting to run it a few times during the week and run the proper hoover round every week. I was extremely impressed by the thorough job it does and I'm not going to need to run the other hoover around except to use the extension to do cobwebs. I love that you just press a button and it hoovers the room for you. It takes quite a long time, about half an hour per room but does an excellent job. It's quieter than a regular hoover but still fairly loud. It needs emptying after running but it's a quick job. I'm delighted with it and wish I'd bought it sooner.

Dave has settled in as one of the family - although my 16 year old daughter is irrationally scared of him. She finds the whole concept disturbing. I set him off as I leave for work or head out shopping etc. and let him get on with it. OKI still have to do the stair as unlike Daleks Dave can't manage stairs. You get to learn which small mats etc. to pick up and ensure doors are wedged open as Dave can sometimes get himself trapped in a room. The small dustbox isn't really an issue as Dave gets sent out each day - I'm still quite astonished how much he picks up each day - possibly my giant fur shedding Ragdoll cat has something to do with it. You can just shut Dave intoone room and let him go on his (very random) way. This way you'll (probably) get a more thorough clean of the room. He's not programmable but I really don't have a problem pushing his button on my way out of the door. Some may want to be able to schedule their Dave to run every weekday at 0900 etc. I can see how that might be a thing or maybe to send him round twice. Couldn't really afford one of these before - have had to wait for price to come down and then I went for an Amazon warehouse deal. OK the box was a bit duffed up but Dave was brand new! In hindsight, I could have afforded one of these before. The amount I've wasted on other vacuums. I could have bought a Dave and then a small second hand one for corners and stairs. It's hard to factor in the cost of the convenience factor. My flat now gets vacuumed every single day. Once a week I get the other machine out and go round the corners and what have you, but the place is getting a more thorough going over than it ever did. Dave may even get a christmas card.

This is a very efficient vacuum cleaner. You would never believe the things it picked up when I first got it yesterday. I was under the impression, however, that this model could connect to Alexa. I have tried for the past 3 hours to connect my mobile to Alexa but with no joy. I was Furious when I checked with Google and found that my mother was too old to connect to Wi-Fi or Alexa. I particularly wanted one that connected to Wi-Fi and Alexa so I might see if I can return it and get a slightly newer model. Also, I heard that with the newer models of Roomba you get an extra filter, extra brushes and a cleaning tool for the brushes. Some models even come with virtual wall with batteries included and a remote control with batteries as well. I wish I'd paid the extra money for a newer model with these extras plus Wi-Fi. If you're looking for a very basic model that just does the cleaning with no extras then this would be the model for you as it's vacuuming is so efficient.

Best Purchase ever. This little workaholic just gets on diligently with doing what I bought her to do. A little noisy but not more than a washing machine on the spin cycle. I live in a very dusty part of the globe and I hate walking barefoot on my tiled floor and feeling the dirt. She just gobbles up all the dust and dirt on the floor and my tender soles give her work 100% every single time. She occasionally swallows more than she can cope with and she will stop and give a beep followed by an error voice message indicating what the problem is. In my case, I just had to remove the brushes, remove some floss from it and fix it again. Note of caution though...if you are on of those who just throws bits of floss about, this little wonder will catch you out and you will have to constantly disentangle floss from its brushes. Only thing I would change is the docking station. It moves about when the Roomba tries to dock and if Panasonic could put suckers underneath to make it more stable , that would be great. As it is, I normally anchor it with sellotape onto the bare floor to make docking flawless All in all, an excellent device and now an indispensable part of our household appliances

Bought this for parents. New dog in house and hair on carpet driving certain folks crazy. This works great, carpet is spotless and no more complaints. Noise wise much quieter than our normal hoover. It has no timer function but I knew that before buying it however it has no 'carry handle' which does make it awkward bringing from room to room hence 4 stars.

many things could be improved but considering the low level price it is ok. very sturdy (and noisy) clean my rooms very well. sometimes it misses the docking station at the end of the session and I find it beached like a whale in a corner. I would have enjoyed an easy timer so that it can start after I leave the house early in the morning. Easy to clean except the spinning side brush that easily gets stuck (long hairs!)

Es la tercera Roomba que tengo. Tengo una de la gama alta y, la verdad, como yo no uso mucho el programador ni demás funcionalidades, casi me quedo con esta, que como no sabe por dónde ha pasado (la otra lleva la cuenta), pues al final, de tantas vueltas que da, deja todo más limpio. El inconveniente de esta es que los cepillos no son tan fáciles de limpiar como en las de gama alta (donde son ambos de silicona y, por la forma de los dibujos, desplazan ellos mismos pelos, hilos, etc. a los laterales, con lo cual su limpieza es sencillísima). Esta no tiene asa para transportar, no trae recambio de ningún tipo y tampoco pared virtual, que por la diferencia de precio con la 615 (que muchas veces está en Amazon a 205 euros), no merece la pena coger esta, pues la 615 (la primera que tuve, que me duró cuatro años usándola a diario, algunos días dos veces al día) sí trae todo eso.

I wasn’t sure what to expect of the Roomba even after reading many reviews but I can say, after 6 months of use, it works like a champ. I’m consistently impressed with how well it works. One major advantage over conventional vacuums is that it cleans under couches and other low-profile furniture which can be hard to reach otherwise. It’s a solidly built device that can be almost too aggressive in its work at times but only very rarely stops. When it does it’s always due to a string or hair being wound around one of the brushes. This is also where the Roomba really shines: it allows the owner to remove the rollers and brushes without the need for tools. The rollers can be removed easily, cleaned and replaced by snapping them back into place. I’ve yet to encounter a problem that wasn’t resolved in this manner. Emptying the dust receptacle is a simple matter as well. The dust unit slides out and the accumulated dust and fibre is easily flicked into the bin. This model has no remote control facility, something I actually like about it. While some would undoubtedly prefer to schedule the vacuum cleaning, late-night cleaning in my case is not an option due to the noise it would cause for the neighbours in the floor below. I like also that using it is as simple as pressing a button unlike many new appliances. It lives up to its reputation and takes the tedium out of vacuuming. A very good buy.

Ich hab den Roomba heute erhalten welchen ich über warenhouse Deal gekauft hatte.Die Lieferung ging wie gewohnt dank Prime super fix. Das Gerät als solches läuft gut.Über die stuhlfüsse am Esstisch kommt er zwar aber fährt sich irgendwann fest.Aber kein Problem müssen Stühle dann halt hoch gestellt werden. Der Roomba hat nicht nur Probleme bei einem schwarzen Teppich sondern auch bei einem Teppich mit geringer schwarzer Musterung .Über diese fährt er nicht drüber. Ich persönlich finde ihn nicht all zu laut mag aber einfach eine Sache des Empfindens sein . Seine Arbeit macht er super...er saugt selbst größere Sachen weg.Natürlich ersetzt er keinen richtigen Staubsauger aber in einem sechs Personen Haushalt plus Hund ist oft viel dreck auf dem Boden und den schafft er super ! In manchen Rezensionen war zu lesen das er Möbel kaputt machte oder schlieren hinterließ.Das kann ich nicht bestätigen und wir haben nur weiße Möbel und ich bin was sowas angeht sehr empfindlich 🙈 Alles in allem ist es für mich ein guter Kauf und ich denke,da unser Haus drei Etagen besitzt ,dass ich mir noch zwei weitere dieses Modelles kaufen werde. Somit kann ich ihn empfehlen für die tägliche Reinigung. Nachtrag :Unser bzw mein neuer Freund ist nun seit einiger Zeit täglich im Einsatz .Ich bin begeistert wieviel Arbeit er mir abnimmt !Ich habe zwischenzeitlich noch andere saugroboter ausprobiert aufgrund der Größe unseres Hauses (240 qm) aber festgestellt,dass keiner an den Roomba ran kommt bzgl Saugleistung und Geschwindigkeit.Ausserdem ist er nicht doof wie Toast wie so manch andere Saugroboter .;) Schön wäre gewesen,weiß nicht ob das bei neueren Modellen der Fall ist,wenn Roomba zwei so Bürsten vorne gehabt hätte und nicht nur eine .Wäre halt noch etwas effizienter gewesen .Gut finde ich,dass er auch etwas höhere Schwellen überwinden kann ca. 1,5 cm -2 cm .Er kommt durch seine höhe halt leider nicht unter Unserr couch und Bett ,aber gibt schlimmeres .Niedrigere Modelle anderer Hersteller tun das auch nicht aber schaffen nichtmal Schwellen die der Roomba schafft . Unser Roomba schafft fast das komplette Haus zu saugen,sprich ca 220 qm .Hierfür trage ich ihn von erwäge zu Etage,wenn er fertig ist mit einer Etage.Ist es mal etwas schmutziger schafft er den ein oder anderen qm weniger ,dafür wurde der zweite Roomba angeschafft. Die Reinigung des Roombas ist denkbar einfach gemacht und bedarf keines großen Aufwandes . Ich habe mir filzgleiter für die Stühle geholt an denen Roomba gerne fest fährt ,funktioniert prima ! Ich kann den Roomba absolut empfehlen und bin nach einer gewissen testzeit noch zufriedener als am Anfang und deshalb gibt es nun 5 statt der bisher 4 Sterne . Der Akku hält bei beiden nach wie vor gut.Der eine Roomba saugt bereits täglich seit über sechs Monaten der andere täglich seit 4 Monaten, ohne Verlust der Akku Leistung . Es wurde in der ein oder anderen Rezension geschrieben,dass die Ladestation nicht gefunden wird.Das Problem hatten wir auch das ein oder andere mal.In unserem Fall lag es aber daran ,dass die Kontakte entweder am Roomba oder an der Station leicht verdreckt waren.Macht man diese kurz sauber wird auch wieder die Station gefunden . Nachtrag: Wir haben unsere zwei roombas nun mittlerweile seit über einem Jahr und sind nach wie vor begeistert! Wir besitzen noch einen normalen Staubsauger damit wir ,wenn zwischendurch mal was dreckig ist normal saugen können.Dieser normale Sauger ist seltener in Benutzung als die roombas,musste aber mittlerweile seit unsere roombas da sind ausgetauscht werden weil kaputt! Dieser normale Sauger war ein Marken gerät und auch Nichtverstehen günstig jedoch in Sachen Haltbarkeit lange nicht so zuverlässig wie die roombas! Ich kann einfach nur jedem raten der sich eine Haushaltshilfe wünscht sich selbst ein Bild zu machen denn jeder hat andere Vorstellungen ob ein Produkt gut oder schlecht ist. Ich finde es nach über einem Jahr Nutzung toll und möchte meine roombas nicht mehr missen !

Nous avons acheté cet appareil pour remplacer un aspirateur Dyson. Pas convaincu a priori, je me suis laissé tenté par ce qui m apparaissait comme un gain de temps notable. Nous n avons pas d animaux de compagnie mais une maison assez grande ce qui me fait dire que ce n est pas forcément le meilleur choix cependant je dois avoué que je suis très satisfait du résultat. Certes il rencontre des difficultés a rentrer à la base, je pensais qu il le faisait automatiquement et apparemment ce n est pas le cas. Ceci dit, il fonctionne particulièrement bien en témoigne le bac de collecte. Et quel gain de temps. Simple d utilisation, il suffit d appuyer sur un bon bouton et il fait son travail. Il est prévu pour des surfaces de 60m², mais je déplace s abase pour et pour l instant cela ne pose pas de soucis. Bref, je vous recommande vivement cet achat.

Pagato 199€ durante il Black Friday il robot è arrivato con un giorno di anticipo sulla tabella di marcia e fin da subito si è dimostrato un ottimo prodotto. Pulisce e aspira benissimo i pavimenti in marmo anche negli angoli più remoti ci arriva bene grazie alla spazzola laterale. E facilissimo da pulire e da usare, il cassetto della polvere e il relativo filtro si smontano in pochi secondi e si puliscono con estrema semplicità. Il mio consiglio è di chiuderlo in una stanza e lasciarlo girare, quando ha finito lo troverete fermo in mezzo alla stanza o sotto a qualche mobile, pronto a ripartire. Lasciarlo scorrazzare liberamente per tutta la casa non è la soluzione migliore secondo me, perchè non essendo dotato di un sistema di mappatura dell'ambiente come i suoi costosissimi "fratelli maggiori", finisce per vagare per tutta la casa pulendo non bene ogni singola stanza. Inoltre consinderando che la batteria dura circa un ora e per fare una stanza di medie dimensioni impiega quasi mezz'ora, la batteria non gli permetterebbe comunque di pulire per bene tutta la casa. Quando la batteria sta per scaricarsi torna automaticamente alla base per ricaricarsi. Molto comodi i due pulsanti SPOT e DOCK, premendo il primo infatti dopo aver posizionato il robot nel punto che si desidera pulire quest'ultimo comincerà a girare attoro a quel punto finchè non lo fermerete. La funzione DOCK invece è utile per far tornare il robot alla sua base di carica in totale autonomia, ovviamente mentre vaga per la casa in cerca della base continuerà a pulire, il che (secondo me) non è male dato che in alcuni casi può impiegare diversi minuti pulendo altre aree della casa nel frattempo. Due gli aspetti che mi hanno lasciato un po perplesso: PRIMO il sistema di navigazione, durante la pulizia a volte sembra che vada molto per tentativi finendo per accanirsi inutilmente contro alcuni ostacoli e lasciando alcune zone non perfettamente pulite. SECONDO: il bumper o rilevatore di urti, certe volte non si capisce perchè si schianta a tutta velocità contro un determinato ostacolo (come le gambe di un tavolo) e altre volte rallenta prima dell'impatto come dovrebbe fare quando sono prossimi degli ostacoli. A parte questi piccoli diffetti il robot merita assolutamente l'acquisto, soprattutto per il prezzo contenuto. Mi sento di consigliarlo a chi vuole semplicemente premere il pulsantone "Clean" senza perdere tempo in programmazioni o sistemazione di barriere artificiali.
