3 YEAR REVIEW - iRobot Roomba S9+ - Is it still one of the BEST Robot Vacuums?
10:32
22 Jan 2023
🏆 Top-performing robot vacuum in his experience
...It's still one of my favorites, I'd say probably top two out of over 70 robots I've tested... Watch in video
💪 Effective debris pickup
...It got that up there really good, even the thick part. That just shows you how big of debris this could actually pick up... Watch in video
📋 No map required for effective cleaning
...There's actually no map at all on this, so it did this good of a job even without a map... Watch in video
🧹 Deep carpet cleaning
...I think it gets deeper into the carpet fibers and does a better overall job cleaning... Watch in video
🛠️ Aftermarket parts compatibility
...Those rollers that you saw, those are actually aftermarket rollers and I've had no issues with those... Watch in video
🔋 No need for battery replacement
...I've never replaced the battery... Watch in video
🏠 Leaves nice clean lines
...Most robot vacuums will leave that, but it's a cool thing to come home to, a nice clean house... Watch in video
💡 Great for everyday debris
...There's quite a bit of just, you know, everyday debris... Watch in video
⭐ Overall satisfaction
...Overall, I couldn't be any happier with this guy... Watch in video
🤔 ⚡ Small battery capacity requiring recharges during cleaning sessions
...I do expect it to have to come back home and fully recharge, and then come back out and finish the job... Watch quote in video
🤔 🧠 Limited object avoidance capabilities
...This thing's not made at all for, you know, object avoidance, so that's my bad... Watch quote in video
🤔 📉 Higher cost compared to other models with additional features like mopping
...It really comes down to, do you want something that's going to do the best vacuuming possible or do you want one that does great vacuuming and also has a mop that does a pretty darn good job as well... Watch quote in video
🤔 📏 Difficulty cleaning right up against edges and thresholds
...That's kind of a robot vacuum's biggest flaw is getting a section that's like right up against stuff... Watch quote in video

12 Sep 2021
🌟 Battery saving feature improves run time
...[...] the fact that they added this, and are doing whatever they can to save even a few minutes worth of battery, is a step in the right direction... Watch in video
🚫 Effective obstacle avoidance without front lasers/camera
...So just off those two things that it avoided, that's quite impressive because this does not claim ever to have obstacle avoidance... Watch in video
🚀 Innovative software updates enhance older models
...For them to have technology like that on this specific robot that's well over two years old, with no type of front lasers or a front camera, I'm very curious to see how well that's going to work... Watch in video
🛠️ Improved cleaning without hardware upgrade
...So the fact that it's doing that just with the sensors that it already had a couple of years ago, once again, to me, that is very, very impressive... Watch in video
🔋 Improved battery management feature
...Notice how the motor is not on. And once again, yeah, it's only going to save you a little bit of battery, but the fact that it'll save you some at all is a big plus in my book... Watch in video
🤖 Future-proofing existing robots with updates
...[...] the fact that if it's something bigger, like a can or a bottle, probably like a pillow or something like that, it's going to avoid it pretty dang well for what it has... Watch in video
👏 Positive overall experience and innovation recognition
...iRobot definitely has the best software and the best app out there, in my opinion, for what they can do... Watch in video
🤔 🪫 Battery life issues especially when on maximum suction
...Everybody knows this S9's battery was way too small, and it just does not last long at all, especially if you put this guy on its maximum suction... Watch quote in video
🤔 🧩 Inability to avoid smaller objects
...I wish it worked on smaller objects, but once again, this was not designed whatsoever for any type of obstacle avoidance... Watch quote in video
🤔 🕰️ The robot is outdated or old
...I will say, even though I love this robot and I still think it's a great robot, boy, is it outdated. Or, I guess, maybe not outdated, but just old... Watch quote in video
🤔 ⚡ Minimal battery saving features available
...Once again, that's only going to save a very small percentage of battery, but I like the fact that they're doing something to help it, because they know the battery is terrible too... Watch quote in video
🤔 🔋 Poor battery performance compared to competitors
...If this guy had a large battery like, say, the Roborock S7 and lasted that long on its maximum suction, I would have a very, very difficult choice between this one and that one on which one is the top all-around best robot vacuum... Watch quote in video

🤖 Strong suction power
...I think it's quite incredible, the suction power is great, and I think this one is going to take the winning so far... Watch in video
🧹 Effective at debris pickup
...So according to my math here, guys, this thing got 7.5 ounces out of 7.6, but yet there's still some debris down... Watch in video
🏆 High hopes and performance
...Pretty excited to do this test for this one. I really have high hopes. It should do amazing... Watch in video
🔄 Detailed testing method
...Before the test, I weigh the bin, get an empty weight bin, and then after the test, I weigh it when it's full of whatever it sucks up, and we'll compare it to the other ones that I've already done... Watch in video
🧩 Software updates and improvements
...It just got the newest update tonight. That's one reason why I decided to go ahead and do the test tonight... Watch in video
🍀 Comparable to other robots
...So that is saying straight up the suction is so good it's pulling out sand or other fine debris that's embedded into this carpet... Watch in video
🚀 One pass performance
...I even put this on one pass, so they have a setting where it's either automatic, one pass, or two passes. I did one pass just to make it more fair... Watch in video
🗣️ Viewer engagement and feedback
...Let me know in the comments what you guys think. As you guys know, I'm quite impressed with this guy... Watch in video
🤔 😕 Issues with the latest update reported
...I've actually heard that this update is making a lot of these act crazy again... Watch quote in video
🤔 😟 Lights not turning off
...One thing I read is the ring around the dustbin there is always glowing and won't ever turn off... Watch quote in video
🤔 🌀 Roomba getting disoriented
...It comes out and just spins around and doesn't know where it's at. It's almost like it's drunk and just turned into a terrible robot again... Watch quote in video
🤔 🧹 Missed debris during the cleaning
...So a decent amount of fruity pebbles and white rice... For whatever reason, I missed a little section right here... Watch quote in video
🤔 🔋 Possible short battery life
...It was only going for like 35 minutes... Watch quote in video
🤔 📏 Not covering all areas
...Maybe there's only about an ounce, you know, 0.1 of an ounce. There's not much laying around... Watch quote in video
🤔 📋 Single pass might be insufficient
...I did one pass just to make it more fair, whereas if I would have put automatic it probably would have went over the area twice... Watch quote in video

❤️ Love for the vacuum despite issues
...I really love this vacuum... Watch in video
🧹 High cleaning performance
...It cleans really, really well... Watch in video
🎯 Efficient after mapping
...once it's done, I'll show you how long it took and everything, and hopefully after this run, it'll give me a map... Watch in video
🚀 Faster with map
...So I finished the map, and then today I sent it out on a normal everyday cleaning run after the map is made, and it did it in three hours and 27 minutes... Watch in video
🏠 Suitable for various floors
...If you're going to be using this while you're gone or in a different part of the house, that's totally fine... Watch in video
🤔 😓 Bad battery life
...I really love this vacuum, but the biggest downfall in my eyes is the battery life... Watch quote in video
🤔 🕒 Takes too long to complete cleaning
...It cannot handle my bottom floor plan without going back and recharging, therefore it takes about four hours or so to complete... Watch quote in video
🤔 ⚡ Needs to recharge mid-clean
...I don't want any robot to take three and a half to four hours. It's kind of ridiculous, to be honest... Watch quote in video
🤔 📊 Takes longer compared to competitors
...That thing can do the same exact floor plan in about an hour and ten minutes, clean just as good, and still have around 50% battery life left... Watch quote in video
🤔 🔋 Insufficient battery capacity
...I really hate that this has to go back and charge for my bottom floor, or my main floor, and now this floor as well... Watch quote in video
🤔 🚫 Doesn’t always complete mapping
...As you can see, the map is still not complete after two runs... Watch quote in video
🤔 ⌛ Additional waiting time for mapping
...I sent it on a training run where it just goes around and not actually cleans, it just drives around and makes the map... Watch quote in video
🤔 🚀 Performance drops on high power mode
...Let me go back to normal suction power, because I know on high, it definitely can't handle it... Watch quote in video
🤔 😩 Not suitable for quick cleanups
...If you have this on your main floor or upstairs like I do, and I was going to permanently keep it here, it's still, I mean, it's an awesome robot... Watch quote in video

🚀 Amazing cleaning performance
...This thing cleans amazingly well, and I've been a big fan of it lately... Watch in video
🏠 Effective mapping system
...The map on this thing is really good now compared to what it used to be when I first tested this about a year ago... Watch in video
🔄 Self-emptying bin functionality
...Of course self-empty when it feels like the bin is full... Watch in video
🍭 Great on hardwood floors
...Look at that suction on the hardwood. Nothing left behind. Wow... Watch in video
💡 Smart dirt detection
...It's got the dirt sensor at the bottom. And when it detects a big pile of something, it'll go over it back and forth until it feels like it got most of it... Watch in video
🔋 Handles large debris
...I'm totally honest about that. I knew it was gonna do good but this is this had to got a ninety nine point nine nine nine nine nine nine percent of the debris down... Watch in video
🛡 Durable and reliable
...I've had this thing for quite a while. I had my Roomba i7 plus for over a year and I put that thing through a test similar to this but not quite this much and that thing's still running perfect... Watch in video
🛠 Easy troubleshooting
...However, that fix was very simple. I think it's just because this is the mega stress test and it had that bin so packed full that it just couldn't get it out... Watch in video
🤔 😡 Gave an error during operation
...And it is unfortunately giving me an error. Let's see what it's saying... Watch quote in video
🤔 😟 Struggles with thick carpets
...Now the biggest downfall period for this guy is if you have thick carpets, it does a poor job with thick carpets... Watch quote in video
🤔 😕 Did not empty itself as expected
...I will say I am surprised that it has not emptied itself yet. It has picked up a ton of stuff... Watch quote in video
🤔 😩 Misses corners during clean-up
...As well as this little corner here. For whatever reason, all robots miss that because they try to make a turn there and they just every single one misses... Watch quote in video
