iRobot Roomba 105 Vac Robot Vacuum with AutoEmpty Dock – Self-Empties for 75 Days, Easy to use, Intense Power-Lifting Suction, LiDAR Navigation, Multi-Surface Cleaning, Cleans in Neat Rows

Powerful smart vac
I am really pleased with this iRobot Roomba 104 Robot Vacuum and Mop! It’s exactly what I was looking for. It’s my first time purchasing one but I’ve house sat for family and have experience with them so I knew what to expect from a good one and happy with this one. Unboxing the vacuum was a breeze and quick to set up after downloading the app. Just used the QR code from the box to find the app I needed. Initial setup had the vacuum map out the first floor of my home, then I renamed all the rooms and set the rooms I wanted it to clean. I would recommend letting it charge fully before letting it clean straight away like I did, otherwise it will need to leave the rooms it’s cleaning a few times and go back to the dock to charge a little bit then resume.App: I really like the app, it will show the path your vac has taken so you know it’s covering the areas you want. Also when you’re setting up a routine you can choose from a spot clean (small spot in a room), light clean, standard clean, or deep clean. So depending on the clean you’d like to do in a certain room you can choose just the right clean you need. I chose to deep clean certain areas that get high traffic and standard clean for other areas for the first clean. Another interesting feature in the app is Robot Health, which shows the health of each part of your robot vacuum for maintenance purposes.Vac: I find the vac to be pretty durable and the AI works pretty well. I’ve seen some other models that will get confused and get stuck in an area and keep bumping around and not get unstuck. This vac gets around obstacles without issues and will climb area rugs very well and clean them (I have a thick plush area rug and it was a breeze cleaning it). It’s also great at detecting stairs and doesn’t launch itself off of them, I have a staircase I was initially worried about but not anymore! Suction power depends on the routine you set and it’s sufficient at keeping my home clean. Overall very pleased with the model I chose. It’s great at keeping pet hairs at bay daily with automated routines and gives me back time to finish other things and focus on my work. I’d recommend for anyone looking to get time back from mopping and cleaning the floors often.

Mediocre battery life and app but solid product
I’ll make this simple to read and break it down into pros and cons:Cons:Poor battery life, especially on deep cleanCumbersome app doesn’t let you see things like battery chargeStill gets stuck on minor items like cords and small objectsMop feature is lower endDeep clean can get loudProsExcellent suction, especially on deep cleanFinds home much better and faster than past iterationsMopping feature is basic but does a decent jobSuperb mapping allows the vacuum to know what room it is inPrice point feels very fair, a bargain when on saleMuch kinder to furniture and delicate objects than previous modelsStandard clean and mopping are quietThis is a solid buy, but if you find it on sale it is a no brainer.

Wanted to share my excitement about the Roomba 104 with you. After switching from my previous i series robot, I have been thoroughly impressed with the Roomba 104’s performance. The cleaning capabilities are significantly better, and the LiDAR navigation is simply stellar. For an entry-level robot, it is definitely worth every penny.One of the standout features is the improved suction power, which makes a noticeable difference in the cleanliness of my home. Additionally, the noise levels seem to be lower, making it less intrusive during its operation. The mopping function is fantastic, especially since I have carpets. The Roomba 104 smartly navigates around the carpets without getting confused or stuck.Another great aspect is the flexibility with cleaning solutions – you can use any solution you prefer, except for vinegar and bleach. The size of the empty base is also worth mentioning as it is small and discrete, fitting seamlessly into my home.The app is quite user-friendly, allowing you to customize the map and create no-go zones, which is a fantastic feature for an entry-level robot. Overall, I believe the Roomba 104 is an excellent choice for anyone with a small house or apartment.

I’m 73 and stubborn but finally I broke down and bought one. BEST PURCHASE IN YEARS! It did a more thorough job than I did. The spot clean feature and choose your rooms is so convenient. It easily covers our aprox 1000 sq.ft apt.Very happy

Hace justo lo que quería, liberarme tiempo de aseo; deja bastante limpio, no he necesitado barrer mas que puntualmente desde hace tres semanas (incluso con un chihuahua y un pastor alemán). Cosas a cosiderar: hay que revisar el cepillo giratorio del frente cada que se usa porque se enreda con cabellos largos y se puede atascar, pero se limpia muy fácil. La potencia de la aspiradora y tamaño de los cepillos permite que se aspiren objetos largos y flexibles como collares para perro y cables de cargadores telefónicos, que pueden atascarlo; y las llantas principales pueden subirse a objetos que en primera instancia parecerían inofensivos; asi que hay que despejar muy bien el piso, basicamente si fueras a barrer y pudieras moverlo con la escoba, hay que quitarlo. Tambien ya que este modelo aspira aleatoriamente, entre más pequeño el espacio, lo limpia más rápido y mejor, asi que ayuda delimitar áreas, por ejemplo las mías aproximadas son: cocina(12 m2), comedor+sala+recibidor (55 m2), pasillo (12 m2), habitaciones (24 m2).Considerando que barrer a mano toma mi tiempo, es cansado, y me hace sudar; lo recomiendo mucho.
