iRobot Roomba E5 Review

[@jimjones6960]

I have this model, something to know is it does NOT clean corners and will actually use the side brush to sweep debris into the corner that it cannot go back and pick up. Human hair is actually not easy to clean from the side brush, it will usually roll up and under the side brush's mount and you'll have to unscrew it and pull the hair off. We have very small transitions in our home from room to room (less than 1/2 an inch) and this model will regularly get stuck on those transitions. For $400 I'd wish I had seen this video before purchasing the Roomba E5, I would have either upgraded to a better model or bought one of the cheaper brands listed in this video's description.

Good review, im new to these vaccums and just got 1 for myself yesterday. I got the e5 or to be more specific e5158. Its currently on sale from 499€ to 269€. The irobot 698 is 189€ but I prefer the brush on the e5. Im really happy with the performance based on my first use today. The only thing is it could not finish the whole apartment after 2hrs and 4mins of running but I was really surprised by the amount it picked up, also it did not return home to charge 😂

It seems like IRobot has all their models clean the same(except for the S9), but just change the features based on price.

This guy doesnt recognise quality when he sees it, and recommends the much more inferior machine. He is so cheap.
