In their words

This iRobot is truly a life saver. It saves me so much time from vacuuming & mopping my home, as I don’t have to lol. So I have more free time to clean the other areas of the home. It gets the corners very well as it has the winding brush to get those areas and the mop bridges reach out to get edges & corners.

Detongiss G · verified purchase · influenster.com

I got one as a gift and had it for about 2 weeks and is already malfunctioning, it says the dirty tank if full, so I empty what is in it and then put it back and it still says the same thing. It was in the middle of the floor and stopped and said that it needed assistance, put it on the base and can't get it to work. It randomly sweeps places, it doesn't go in a line or back and forth.
