iRobot Roomba 960 | Review | Unboxing | Demonstration | Robot Vacuum

[@judiegiglio]

I was thrilled with the video on the Irobot roomba 960. Your presentation was very clear and concise. You have made it easy for this non-savvy techno to put the roomba together and we are off and running. But I was so hoping that my cats would love it too! My Robot was a gift from number one daughter, thank you Jackie.

[@loriwilkerson5224]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!!! DISCLAIMER: I AM NOT very I.T. or mechanically literate!!! But I desperately needed help with PET HAIR !!! I just purchased the iRobot e6 6198 from Costco. Price was $399 with $50 off ($349). The fellow at Customer Service for Costco actually talked me out of a higher model (985). He pulled up the Stats they keep and showed me the difference in returns of the two models they sell. (You can't imagine how much I appreciated this, but as the guy said, "You know us, we're going to take them back for you no matter what, so it doesn't hurt me at all to let you know which gets returned more often!"). Anyway, the model I purchased DID NOT come with any kind of a manual or Quick Start Guide. Just the Warranty booklet and a single sided, one sheet on basically "How to plug it in". I then began trying to research a video that would show me HOW TO SET IT UP INITIALLY. The slick "Quick Start Guide to Roomba" labeled Video just has a charming British Voice which says it can be set up "in three simple steps", but all they show is her very simple words printed on the screen with an image of the Roomba running around the floor. I was so frustrated !!!!! But then I came upon YOUR Video (Taa Dah!!!!!) and it SHOWED and you TOLD me EVERYTHING I needed to know !!! Even though I don't have the same model as you, I was able to go step-by-step with your instruction and set my Roomba ("Fi Fi") up. Mine is Wi-Fi enabled, and (I THINK) the guy at Costco said it's a fairly new model. I haven't yet charged it enough to have my first clean but you have given me CONFIDENCE and HOPE that I'm going to have an equally AMAZING experience!! Yours is the first video I have ever Subscribed to!!!! Thank you very much!! I'll be back often !!! :-)

Ordered one this morning waiting for it to arrive

[@darenmerchant9981]

Just plugged ours in today and started it for the very first time. Seeing the dogs reaction was worth every penny. Old English Sheep Dog vs Roomba. Thank you for the review, I was looking at a less expensive model and because of your review purchased the 960.

[@electronron1]

My daughters 960 quit working so she gave it to me. The problem turned out to be a seized vacuum motor (Error 8) which I was able to free up and get the roomba working again but at some point I'm going to replace the dust bin which includes a new motor. The main reason she gave it to me is because she has two huskies and the poor roomba didn't stand a chance of keeping up with the amount of fur they shed. I have small dogs which shed very little so the roomba doesn't have a problem at my house.

[@MediaProcast]

Because of this video, I finally decided to get one of this robot vacuum. Thanks for this professional review.

[@AdKatTech]

Thanks for watching. Let me know which model you decided to get and how you like it.

[@AdKatTech]

Awesome. Let me know what you think. Enjoy!

[@reginabeasley872]

This demonstration was very informative all the rest didn’t go in depth like this

[@AdKatTech]

Thanks! Glad it was able to help with your decision.

[@dennissalisbury496]

You have to clean the dust box thoroughly, I use a small shop vac to clean the rollers/extractors and box/filter. Clear the decks, pick up all obstacle chairs, etc. Roomba is amazing. I just bought couch risers to raise my couches a few inches to clean under them too.

[@nikkirelayson4953]

I just got mine today! I love it ALREADY! Definitely worth the money. It is very user friendly. Thanks for the thorough review!

[@siobhanbuchanan-johnston7984]

I love my I robot🌼 No matter how many times I sweep or vacuum with my central vac it always finds more dirt. I use it weekly and love it. Great purchase!

Great review most in depth I've seen

@@AdKatTech unlike so many so-called "reviews," this really is a review, and not an advertisement in disguise. Keep up the good work! Therefore, I subbed, belled, liked, and commented.

Very good review. Well done and informative. Answered all questions I had about the Roomba 960

[@AdKatTech]

Thank you for watching. Glad it helped.

[@hildasantos4473]

thank you for the excellent review and instructions it helped me decide what robo vac to get.

[@nonelost1]

Excellent video with excellent 4K resolution! Got some questions and observations here… 1…How can I tell if my model 960 is the Wi-Fi model or not? 2…You made no mention of the space that obviously could be used for a second brush on the (L)EFT side, though there is no indentation for it, unlike the (R)IGHT side. 3...The light colored roller has a hexagonal male insert end, and the dark colored roller has a square male insert end. They can be damaged if they go over hard protruding objects, such as carpet mounting screws, in just one use! I recently found my Roomba model 960 in a dumpster, and it works (at least somewhat)!Though I've only tested it once so far. Right now I'm cleaning it out. I just downloaded the app, and hopefully it will work with my Wi-Fi and clean methodically, instead of "scatterbrained." If it doesn't, I'll donate it over OfferUp to somebody who is a adept at repairing it. I hate needless landfill.

[@jackthomson4927]

Thankyou for a great video, mine has just arrived (a couple of days ago) and I love it

[@AdKatTech]

Awesome. I’m so glad you are enjoying it. We still love ours.

Very thorough & helpful review! Thank you! 😃👍🏼🙏🏼

[@cornelius1964]

With your review, I was able to set ours up for my dear wife....thank you.

[@rocki59]

I found your review and that convinced me to order it. I too have cats and also birds, so I think this will be great on my tile floors.

[@AdKatTech]

Awesome. Let me know how it works out for you. Thanks for watching.

[@rocki59]

Ad Kat Tech I LOVE it!

[@Justeace]

Thank you. This was really detailed and exactly what I was looking for plus you answered many lingering questions I had.

[@AdKatTech]

Thanks! Glad it helped

[@thomasenahunt7514]

I have a 960 and we love it. It keep the floors and the rugs so clean. We saw immediately how good it clean the floors. I talked so much about the Roomba that 3 people on my job went out and brought one. They have cats and was amazed at how much cat hair it picked up. My coworker said she will never be without a Roomba from now on. I give this little guy a 5 star. My only complaint is, it is so noisy.

[@AdKatTech]

Clean the filter, that could be why it's noisy. Mine doesn't make that much noise, and I schedule mine to run when i'm not home.

[@lorijankowski3117]

I'm just about to order this model right now! I've been debating between the different models, but this one seems the perfect fit for our household! Thanks for all the info - it really cleared things up and helped me to make a decision!

great review, useful and clear :). though as a cat owner I must admit the highlight was the moment when your cat came to expect the bin :D :D !! ty!!

[@AdKatTech]

Thanks for watching! I wish the cats rode it more.

[@nonelost1]

@@AdKatTech apparently it is designed to withstand being ridden on by cats and other small pets. 😎 But I don't think it will be able to tolerate a large St. Bernard dog riding on it.😖

[@r0ckermusic]

Great review! Btw your voice reminds me a little of Ray Romano!

We ordered the 960 now - thanks for the video!

Awesome, Please let us know what you think when it arrives.

[@sbidikar]

Its been almost a year now, how is it still going? good extensive review, would love to go for one in as this is new to Indian Homes!

[@AdKatTech]

Still going great after a year, works well, and I'm very happy with it. My only issue is that the bin is small, and needs to be emptied often.

[@sbidikar]

@@AdKatTech Thanks much Ad Kat Tech, yours is the most comprehensive one I got for the 960, it would be great to see a post one year review with maintenance costs as it enters the emerging markets, have decided to go for this model anyways this month!

[@AdKatTech]

I'm going to work on a 1 year review and try and get that posted soon. Thanks again for watching. It's a great unit, very reliable, and cleans very well, even after a year.

[@lillacs4078]

Could you tell me the difference between Roomba 960 and 971 please ? Actually in France Amazon sells both with 50 € differences (971 is more expensive). I can't find anywhere the difference between theses the 960 and 971 models! Thank you!

[@judyglock644]

thanks for an easy to understand startup video--

[@scorchedearth1451]

I have 3 cats making a mess of the house. So I decided to get a robot to clean it. Would be nice when it sees when a cat puked on the floor, but I think not.

[@rogerthat9174]

Question. If I plan on pairing up with Alexa. Do I need the app?

[@Spheterix]

Yes

[@raygodbout]

We have had a Roomba for several years and we hate it. It doesn't clean well, and I'm currently working on trying to get to work. My wife will seldom use it because of the bad result. In few minutes it may end up in the trash.

[@holliemccloud9038]

Thank you! Helped me make my decision to get one.

very helpful video. thanks a lot

Thanks for watching. Glad it was helpful.

[@mondaywasspecial5871]

hi, I have this robot coming to me on Friday. My only concern, does it struggle going over thresholds from room to room?

[@Spheterix]

It depends on the height of the threshold if it's high then it will struggle trying to get over if it's a low threshold then it can get over it easily

[@bernardking13]

Im flipping out over hear bc it has 1 brush on it w a empty second space where another brush suppose to go. How the F, do you only put 1 brush ??? Why isnt there 2 brushs on this??? Glad to see it was by design.

[@MrBatmanLima]

As you have it since a few months now, what parts did you have to replace?

[@dulceklyne8665]

I am hooked! Just one question, how much does it weigh?

[@nonelost1]

About 7 pounds (3.18 kgs).

[@wendyrodriguez1403]

the camera that you put on top of the robot ... comes inside the box ... can you wash the dirty parts of the robot?

[@suecenfetelli9240]

Excellent. One question is there ever a problem of it overheating?

[@AdKatTech]

No issues of overheating, even during the summer when the AC was not running. It's been running well, no issues.

[@sheevpalpatine8689]

Great Review! Thanks so much, What vaccum did you have before the Roomba? Do you still need to use the regular vaccum?

[@AdKatTech]

Thanks! Yes, we still use our Dyson, there are just some things the Roomba can't do. Stairs, under the couch, tight spaces. We have the Dyson V6 Animal Cord-free Vacuum, it's also rechargeable, and does work great, but Charge lasts only about 20-25 minutes on max power. But it is cordless.

[@nonelost1]

@@AdKatTech I recently bought a Dyson GEN 5 detect. I love it.

[@jamesarneson7769]

I just bought a 960 and I can't attach my iPhone too it. Is it true that these machines need to be updated?

[@thuansong2949]

How many centimeters can ỉobot 960 climb? For example, the floor is dirty in a small area Do I want irobot 960 to vacuum up this area without vacuuming the whole house? Many thanks.

[@Renbrandy]

Can this be used without using wifi or fancy cell phone?

[@america1403]

so the little sign at the 19:54 mark says Maps available on the 960 and 980 model.. yet your model says 960.. why cant u map clean?

[@AdKatTech]

During filming, the mapping software was in beta, they have made improvements in the software and apps.

[@phyllisbowlin381]

Can the App be installed on a laptop?

[@wendyrodriguez1403]

Hi i have roomba 969 i connected all night but i see on the aplication say still charging i don’t know when is fully charged

[@CanadianBeachcomber]

Considering buying this model. Are the two metal contacts on the charge station child safe?

[@AdKatTech]

Yes, they are child safe. We have 3 kids.

[@alvaropandelo]

Hi man! Thanks for the video. Quick question. Does it says if it is dual voltage? 110v-220v? Thanks!!!

[@AdKatTech]

Good question, it's 110 and there are lots of issues (search google) on using the 110 with adapters in Eurpoe for 220. I would recomment against it and not to get an adapter. Lots of people say they burn out when used on 220.

[@alvaropandelo]

@@AdKatTech Hi man, thanks, I finally bought it in Bed bath and beyond and this is 100-240V. So I am happy as hell! hehe. Thanks

[@diffuzhun]

Does it go over electrical cords, phone charger cords etc..

[@AdKatTech]

Really depends on how loose they are on the floor. Yes and no.

[@joejee01]

Cool robot

[@kinglord5429]

You see if your going to pay the price for this might as well get the self emptying one for few $$$ more. If I'm right costco sells this for around $550 to $650 so $300 more it empties it own bin so once a month you need to touch it

[@AdKatTech]

This review was before the self emptying model was released

[@gmotionedc5412]

Would you still recommend it

[@AdKatTech]

Yes, It's a great vacuum. Gets the floors clean and does it's job well. Yes, it does occasionally get stuck when one of the kids blankets fall on the floor, but overall, it's great, and I would highly recommend it.

[@ruthkaha3099]

Great vidio
