#Roomba #iRobot

All of the Roombas listed above have some clear pros and cons. Depending on what exactly you’re looking for in a robot vacuum, you may prefer a different model over another.

Here’s a quick rundown of our recommendation based on the Roomba specs and our experience testing these five models.

If you want the self-emptying dustbin…

Roomba S9+
Roomba i7+
Roomba i3+

For a dust bin that can empty itself, it’s hard to be disappointed with the Roomba S9+, i7+, or i3+. These are the only three Roombas currently that offer this feature.

If you want the best digital mapping…

Roomba S9
Roomba i7

For great mapping, the Roomba S9 and Roomba i7 take the cake again. These two models include zoned cleaning, efficient cleaning paths, and Imprint Mapping.

If mapping is a top priority, you may check out the S9 and i7 without the “+”. These vacuums are identical to the S9+ and i7+, but skip out on the self-emptying Clean Base.

Opting out of this advanced docking station can be an easy way to save some cash without sacrificing overall performance.

The Clean Base is sold separately and can be added later if you decide it is worth the cost.

If you want the best value…

Roomba e5 (lower price)
Roomba i3+ (balance of budget and self-emptying dust bin)

For a nice mix of performance and price, I’d have to recommend the Roomba e5 or the Roomba e5.

The benefit of the E5 is that it uses the newer style of brushroll and filter. It lacks digital mapping and the fancier bells and whistles, but it was a solid performer, and skipping out on those top-dollar specs also helps to keep the price low.

If you want the value, but also want the self-emptying dust bin, check out the Roomba i3+. This is the most affordable Roomba on the market right now that includes the Clean Base self-emptying docking station.

If you want the best budget option…

Roomba 675 (lowest price)
Roomba e5 (low price with better brushroll & filter)

If the bottom dollar is the main aim, the Roomba 675 is a good option. It is a part of the Roomba flagship lineup meaning that it will continue to have serviceable parts and easy to find replacements, as needed.

The brushroll and filter are older and it has a bit of a random navigating pattern, but the performance was still solid. If you don’t care how it gets the job done, the 675 can be a good option to save some bucks.
