Roomba E5 Review [The Best Entry-Level Roomba?]

[@sboazable]

Really solid review man. To the point with logical and reasonable critiques. No pointless or superfluous info. I got the info I was looking for. Thanks and keep up the good work.

[@dieselboy914]

I just purchased this model. It's on the way. This review made me more confident in my purchase. Thanks!

[@bradleywagner8727]

Very comprehensive review, as someone else stated. Thank you!!

[@kcampos888]

Loved this review ❤ thank you for the excellent details

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Glad it was helpful!

[@shirleythompson8321]

I have this model from a garage sale here in Cedar Hill on joe Wilson Rd.

[@paultworek83]

Thanks for the review, I just bought the vacuum. I'll probably keep it for a year and then sell it, I'll buy what ever new mapping and uniform vacuum is on the market then

[@RuudvanEck]

Thanks to your advise i purchased it today. I was able to link it to my home domotica (I use Homey) so it will clean now when i am away for a longer time

[@aarondavid9763]

Excellent, thorough review.

[@DimachkaS]

Thank you for this review! Def helped me make the choice to get this guy!

I bought one of these a few days ago. I'm generally pleased with it, particularly the way the new brushes work and much less hair gets tangled around them. Getting it connected to my home internet was a pain and tbh not worth the effort. I'm never going to use the app because scheduling is pointless when I have to pre-clear the room anyway, so for me it's a useless feature - your mileage may vary. Unfortunately, I still had to defeat the cliff sensors so that it would work on my striped carpet. This has been issue with Roomba (and I think most robots) for years and I think it's time it was properly addressed by the manufacturer, or at least prominently highlighted on the website so you know before you buy it. So, mostly good and a little bad, so my early impressions are highly favourable. Glad I bought it.

I love my Roomba but I wish it made more of a better pattern. Like going up and down the room instead of sporadic (moves from the living room for 10 seconds back to the kitchen for 2-3 minutes). It works well in our household. It’s only been wedged a couple times. It could just be a strange observation but it seems to clean smarter over time

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Unfortunately, it is what it is, the closest budget Roomba with smart navigation is the I3 with the optical sensor and gyroscopes.

[@sboazable]

I feel the same. It seems so simple but not one of the vacuums I've owned or seen do laps and I wish it would even if just at the end. It is a pretty basic function that would not be difficult to code. I wonder if there is some logistical reason they don't because if not it seems like a huge oversight.

[@nolanerunner1]

I think it’s erratic but gets job done eventually U have to be at home I reckon to see what it’s doing lol

[@adisharr]

For $300 you might as well just spend a little more and get an i3 with navigation. Random navigation robots are not even worth using anymore. That's REALLY old technology.

[@dtesta]

I just bought mine for 55 EUR :)

[@acarus3]

Great review, well tested

[@badoodles08]

Thanks for the review. I just bought this on black friday and coz Im planning to adopt a cat in the future. So you think its not as good in picking up pet hair?

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

It should be able to handle short clumps of pet hair.

[@nolanerunner1]

I like it I have three dogs A spaniel Pom and Italian greyhound I supervise the Roomba but it’s a good vac overall

[@paularutiarutia715]

Hoy compré la mía y me ha encantado,limpia muy bien.

[@en3rgy187]

Those rollers scratched my hard floor permanently marring the planks. Excellent for carpet, expensive to replace!

[@christianmendieta2862]

Thanks for the video. In my house we have one, it tends to turn left when moving forward without obstacles. Don't know if it is normal?

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

It shouldn't. Check the wheels if it needs cleaning.

[@AH-bm4ts]

Good review but it's NOT HEPA, just a high efficiency filter. I picked mine up on sale at Sam's club.

[@bendavidson4969]

Very helpful.

[@-afandiyevc5183]

Roboeock e5 or this?

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

I like Roborock E5 better - more efficient navigation :) but the E5 will be better on carpet

[@-afandiyevc5183]

@@CordlessVacuumGuide what do you suggest under 300$ with mop

[@veronicamartin6152]

Thank you!

[@scottyweimuller6152]

Just got this and hasn't been a fan of it. The roomba doesn't really do a good job mapping my house and my carpet looks like Eddie van Halens guitar

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

It doesn't have smart navigation, only pinballs around

[@MrMarcoCapa]

How about carpet tassels?

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

You should remove them. It will wrap on any of the brushes

[@MrMarcoCapa]

@@CordlessVacuumGuide this is a great problem... many thanks

[@ginabelanger7335]

What about stairs? Will it fall down my stairs

[@CordlessVacuumGuide]

Nope, it has a cliff sensor so it won't fall off cliff points.

[@martamaureiracuevas2516]

Thanks for información Is very complete

[@thedog-m7n]

I have this roomba. i like it

[@jote2275]

except for the brushdeck, the 500 series were better. If the e5 is pushed from the charger, it does not climb up onto it automatically. The 500 series climbed upon it automatically when you pushed it of the charger. Now i have often an empty e5 when i want to let it vacuum. And wtf do i need an app for this thing? Don't need an app for cleaning my house. Fortunaltely it works without it.

[@nutella8318]

I think if u pressed the home button before it docked it would go back to the dock automatically idk

[@jote2275]

@@nutella8318 Yes Tilly, you are right, but you could push the old ones of the charger and it automatically was riding back to it. This one doesn;t. So when your cat or dog pushes it from the charger, it stays off the charger. You have to manually send it back to it, yes indeed, with the home button.

[@mikecooley3361]

E5 is a piece of garbage like most Roombas. Mine gets error after error. Battery won't charge right half the time and now it just says move to a new area which does nothing. Never damaged or found liquids. Not even a year old.
