Really pricey
Pricey
Can miss some debris
It didn't perform as well as the $700 Roomba 880 we reviewed in 2013. We also want to see features like a remaining battery life readout
Push alerts and third-party integrations added to the iRobot Home app
Very expensive. Noisy. No physical remote
Often piercingly loud
Circular shape hinders vacuum from thoroughly cleaning corners
Not the best for pet owners looking to clean up fur
