I do not recommend

It is not at all easy to get into custom service and speak or chat to a human being. I bought an iRobot 105. I already had one upstairs and it did the job so I got one for downstairs. The downstairs one has been a problem from the start. I did everything I was asked to do to fix it over a period of weeks u til I said I'm doing anymore of these efixes. They sent me a replacement. Very good. Except now this one, after only a few days, isn't working. I had an original iRobot roomba that lasted years even after daily use but since the company was purchased by someone else, it has gone downhill imo.

My Roomba 505 has been out of action for over 2 weeks, I have reported and tried contacting customer services and not had a response back.

I've only had the device 2 months, and it's already gone faulty, the support I have received so far is poor and next to nothing.

Never worked properly

Never worked properly, jrot getting fobbed off, sent replacement but still didn't work correctly. Took nearly a year to get a refund, even though told them 1 week after purchase about problems. Bought a different brand which is great. Will not use irobot again after having roombas for over 15 years.

Im really surprised to see the negative reviews as my experience so far has been great. The 505 combo has been such a help for me and other than a small hiccup in connecting when I first set up, it’s worked well.
