Fast decision

Buy it for the strengths, skip it for the tradeoffs

Use this quick filter before opening a retailer tab. If the tradeoffs describe your home or routine, compare the alternatives first.

Buy it if
  • Clean Base Automatic Dirt Disposal is the main reason to buy this tier
  • Room-by-room Smart Mapping and neat-row cleaning are enough for simple routines
  • iRobot's app, parts, bags, filters, and brush replacements are easy to understand
Skip or compare first if
  • Buy only at a real discount because newer LiDAR rivals are stronger values
  • No camera-based obstacle avoidance for cords, socks, toys, or pet accidents
  • Self-emptying dock uses disposable bags, so ownership is not bag-free

    iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO Review: The Roomba to Buy Only on Sale
