If you’re anything like me, your New Year’s resolution might involve maintaining a tidier home throughout the year. I’m not the best at daily chorework (really, who is?) but according to several reviewers, this cult-favorite Roomba robot vacuum could be your best bet. A mother of four says “This little piece of wizardry” is a nifty gadget that “changed my life,” and it could totally change yours, too. Its low profile lets it glide underneath beds and furniture while its suction grabs any hidden pet hairs and crumbs. Plus, once it’s done, the vac rolls over to its dock to charge itself so you don’t have to. It’s currently 40% offright now on Amazon, knocking its sale price down to under $150, but only for a limited time.
Great on hard floors and carpets alike, the Roomba robot vacuum is easy to use straight out of the box: just plug it in, charge it up and press a button to let it rip. You can pair it with an app to give it a cleaning schedule, though it’s not required, and link it with Alexa so you can operate it using voice commands. It runs up to 120 minutes on a single charge, and when the battery gets low, it’ll use the last of its energy to roll over to its charging dock. The vacuum also protects itself from collision so you don’t have to worry about it knocking things over.
The Q0120 is one of iRobot’s entry-level models, but at this lower-than-usual price, it’s definitely worth checking out.

“A few of our friends and family members have one of these vacuums. So, we decided to give it a try. Man, this thing works great. It gets around and under everything. The price was good, although there are others out there for less, but I think their battery life isn’t as good. This is easy to set up if you follow the instructions and works great from your cell phone, without having to manually turn it on. We’ve only used it a couple of times, both letting it do its thing and once on a programmed 45 minute clean. It knows where to return home or you can send it home at anytime during the cleaning cycle. Delivery was timely and before expected. The sensitivity feature works great, but it keeps looking for ways to get under things. It got stuck once (I corrected that problem) and showed up on my wife’s phone to say it was stuck. I found where it was and it had shut itself off since it knew it couldn’t move. We love it!” — R Duke, Texas
“My floors are so clean! I run this about 4-5 weekly and use my shark stick vacuum the other days for a deeper clean. This definitely is not a substitute for sweeping/vacuuming but is an absolutely amazing supplement. With 2 cats and 2 dogs, my apt stayed hairy no matter what I did. This robot vac had truly made my life so much easier. I have vinyl flooring and it works perfectly. It’s only gotten hung up once. If you have a lot of pets like myself, you will have to flip it over and remove any excess hair in the brush roll from time to time” — Harris
“I cannot believe how my life has changed since using the Roomba. I just bought another for my upstairs. I use it with Alexa so that I can start it vacuuming and send it back through voice. And amazingly that works. It finds its way back to the dock! It picks up a lot of dust and even hair decently so that I can thorough vacuum far, far less often. It is amazing in the kitchen which is basically a square, and that alone is a major help, as I can be doing other things along side it. Great in the bathroom as well. Vacuums for over an hour. Dust bin is easy to empty and does not have to done every time! It is also a sturdy item but not really heavy and after the initial few vacuuming times where it is sensing where the furniture is and testing where it can go, avoids vases, etc. In the beginning it would get stuck under the King bed but no longer an issue. For me, it is one of those items that I don’t know how I lived without.” — Heather from NY
“This is my fourth Roomba, and I decided to treat myself to an early Christmas present. I traded in my older Roombas back to the company for credit. This new model is significantly quieter than previous versions, which makes my whole family happy. It seems like a no-frills option, which is perfectly fine with me, especially since the price was much better too. The Roomba is a sleek matte black color, and I like its appearance. There’s no carry handle on this model, but that’s okay as well. Connecting it to my Wi-Fi was quick and easy, and I set the suction power to high, with options for low, medium, and high. It follows an efficient cleaning pattern across my floors and features an improved sensor that prevents it from bumping into objects, unlike earlier models. It can detect and navigate around obstacles much more effectively. I have set my Roomba to run every day at 9 AM, and I love the idea of coming home to a clean house while everyone is at work or school. For any skeptics out there, just check the dust bin to see how full of dirt and dust it gets. This debris can end up in your food, bed, and clothes—gross! This Roomba brings me so much joy.” — Fudge23
“The iRobot 675 has changed my life. I’m a mom to 4 young children living in a 1880 square foot house on a large wooded lot. My kids are outside A LOT and track in all kinds of dirt, mud, leaves, grass, etc. My husband, while I love him, is also kind of a mess and has a bad habit of not wiping his shoes and bringing in a ton of sawdust from his projects. On top of all of that, add in the fact that children under 7 really don’t know how to eat properly and drop about seven thousand crumbs per meal per child. Our floors, wood, tile, and carpet, have been a disaster for years.
Enter the Roomba. I have been eyeing this little piece of wizardry for years and wondering if this could be the tool that could change my life. I swept and vacuumed (with a Dyson DC33) multiple times a day. I was constantly telling guests, “hey sorry about the floor but I think we’re just gross and I can never get on top of it”. Well, after finally biting the bullet I regret that I didn’t buy a Roomba years ago. I don’t have to apologize to guests and I can finally walk barefoot in my house without having 100 tiny crumbs attaching to the bottom of my feet. I love this thing more than I have ever loved any appliance or cleaning tool I have every owned.” — DF (This review has been edited for length. Read the full review.)
