The iRobot Combo i8 is super easy to use and cleans my floors just the way I like it. However, mopping does require some actions and I miss an empty station.
Easy to use When I open the package, I immediately find instructions for setting up the robot. I download the app and find the steps to start the robot. I place the charging station according to the instructions and start the first ride. For example, the robot immediately maps my house itself.
Extensive app After the first round, the robot automatically drives back to the charging station. In the app I get a message that the map of my house is ready. If I want to change something myself, I can do that right away. Now the robot knows exactly which room is where and which obstacles there are. I can now set cleaning schedules and choose which rooms the robot cleans at what time. Even within a room I can choose additional zones where the robot cleans more thoroughly. Or I choose no-go zones where the robot does not come. In addition, the app also provides seasonal suggestions. For example, for extra cleaning during the hay fever season. Even outside the home, for example when I'm in the supermarket, I still control the robot.
Good cleaning result My floors are really neat and clean after the robot is done. My carpet looks good again. Only when there are really many obstacles does the robot sometimes miss a piece. Furthermore, the robot takes every corner well. It drives along all the walls at the end of the cleaning so that the side brush goes along the skirting board. If I also attach the mop to the robot, it will wipe my floors. This way it removes just a little extra dirt. To do this, you must first place the water reservoir. I also have to set a no-go zone for my carpet, so that the robot does not drive over it with the mop.
No empty station When the built-in dust container is full, I immediately receive a notification via the app. With the push of a button I remove the dust container from the robot. I empty this above the trash. The robot now stops cleaning for a while. I regret this, because I now have to step in myself. Fortunately, there is also a Combo i8+ with an empty drive. The robot then automatically empties its dust container when it is full.

Last week I received the iRobot Roomba Combo i8. I am single with a relatively large ground floor (+120m2 ground floor). I therefore spend a lot of time vacuuming and was curious whether a robot vacuum cleaner could take away some household chores from me. It certainly is, and I'm very excited about the Roomba i8. Vacuuming: the device takes a lot of dust with it, but very occasionally leaves a small tuft of dust. The advantage is that the Roomba gets under couches and chairs, where I wouldn't normally vacuum very often. Threshold: a threshold of about 6mm is no problem for the robot vacuum cleaner as long as it drives straight towards it. When approaching at an angle, the device sometimes gets stuck on the threshold. At first I was afraid that the threshold in my home would be too big. Mapping: The device created a fairly accurate map of my ground floor in about 45 minutes. This is updated after each round of vacuuming. Mopping: The mopping function is also better than I expected. You will see light stripes on tiles, and you should be aware that you are removing a doormat or carpet from the floor beforehand. You can also solve this by indicating a 'no go zone' in the app. App: Very nice app. The map is nicely displayed and you can indicate with some lines where rooms end or begin. The instructions when the Roomba gets stuck are also very pleasant and easy to follow. Sound; Similar to a normal vacuum cleaner, so it's not like there's a silent device wandering around your house. Battery life: The robot vacuum cleaner has about 1/3rd left after vacuuming about 60m2 and can completely vacuum my ground floor in 2 times. In short, a very pleasant experience with the Roomba combo i8 and so far little to criticize!
