iRobot Roomba E6 (6199) Robot Vacuum - Wi-Fi Connected, Compatible with Alexa, Ideal for Pet Hair, Carpets, Hard, Self-Charging Robotic Vacuum, Sand Dust (Renewed)

There are many more Irobot and other brands of robotic vacuums out there to choose from and most with many more features than this one. In my opinion those others just have more possibilities of something malfunctioning and stopping the whole vacuum. This iRobot Roomba E5 (5150) Robot Vacuum is the basic Roomba vacuum whose principal function is to suck up everything in its wake … which I think is the chief function of all of the rest of them. None of them move your furniture or pick up socks or hair ties, you will always have to do that yourself. But this little lady, whom I affectionately call Hazel, keeps our floors clean and free of cat hair. Follow all directions and keep her clean and she’ll do the same for you.

If you've ever had an off-brand robot vacuum that sucked (not literally) and stopped randomly to yell unintelligible phrases at you, you will love this. Bianca here cleans the floors thoroughly, her words are clear, and she also sends you a message on your phone to tell you what the issue is. So far, her problems have always been easy to fix (something wrapped around the wheel, trapped on a cliff, etc).Between the kids and a dog that sheds enough for 5 dogs, Bianca has her work cut out for her in my home. She consistently does a fantastic job. My only regret is not spending more to get the one that dumps it's own canister when it's done because, well, my floors are gross. I appreciate Bianca's help, and my 4 year old loves her so much that he brought his pillow and blanket to lay on the floor next to her while she napped (even though she might not be a real robot since she's not made of all metal). He would like one of his own for his 5th birthday.

Very satisfied on how my roomba cleaned. Disappointed that our didn't even come with one wall barrier I had to keep eye on it so it wouldn't go into certain areas

Very good thank you

⚠️***1 year update*** I’m sad to say this veryexpensive iRobot is much worse than my inexpensive iLife. Even with app updates the Wi-Fi controls literally never work. I have to push the button on the machine to get it to vacuum. It rarely makes it back to its charging port either & when it does it doesn’t set itself right to take a charge. iRobot customer support could care less. I’ve sent several emails and only get bot replies. I’m done with iRobot. Do yourself a favor and go with a cheaper brand, they work better than this thing ever did.‼️***UPDATE***Well the WiFi rarely works and has to re-boot constantly (it’s the robot not my wi-if service) but the WORST PART I’ve found out during use the past few months is it’s AWFUL for pet hair. There seems to be a DESIGN FLAW getting the pet hair that is sucked up into the roomba’s dustbin. The dirt and pet hair just collects in the chute and does not make it into the unit’s dustbin thereby signaling the roomba that it’s “full” within about 10 minutes of use. I wanted to love this roomba but overall it’s been a frustrating disappointment.Works great. Getting the WiFi set up on it was a little bit of a chore, but other than that this has been the best robot vac I’ve had. It’s got some good suction and is mainly used on plank floors with area rugs. It does an decent job on carpet, but it is perfect for wood or stained concrete floors.

I bought it thinking it was a rose/gold color like in the pic, but it's silver. This is the third Roomba I've owned. This model works okay but I feel that the older models were designed better. This model's bin is smaller and the design makes it harder to empty. The handle is harder to grab and this model doesn't make the traditional beeping sounds that the previous models made. I miss my old Roomba but alas, I will make the best of new relationship with Roombiticus III.

I originally purchased my Roomba e6 in November 2021. It's 10/5/23 and it lasted this long. I will probably get another one. It malfunctioned because it is stuck on error 6, & the steps to fix the error didn't work. According to Google, the average lifespan of a Roomba is up to 2 years. I am very satisfied with my purchase because it did its job well. I'm kind of sad also because I had sort of a 'bond' with my iRobot. I highly recommend as an affordable alternative to a new one.

Love this Roomba. Was in like brand new condition. I have 2 other robotic vacs one of them is nearing its end of life.. Had Run both of them within last week, put this new powerful vac down picked up pet hair from carpets like it had not been cleaned in a month. We have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a messy parrot it's essential to have a robotic vac like this for daily pick up. For the price you cannot go wrong. Next day delivery was great. If you need help to keep up between deep vacuuming get one of these roombas NOW.
