The Roomba i3+ is an affordable robot vacuum cleaner that comes with the convenient function of automatic emptying of the dust container. This feature is one of the most sought after in iRobot's range, and the Roomba i3+ offers it at an affordable price. While battery life isn't particularly impressive and its smart mapping capabilities are limited to one floor, there are several aspects to consider when considering whether this is the right model for you, and it may even be worth looking at its benefits.

One of the most practical aspects of the Roomba i3+ is its docking station that has the capacity to accommodate dust from up to 60 days of cleaning. In addition, it uses allergy-blocking bags and is equipped with a HEPA filter that effectively traps allergens, making it a good option for allergy-sensitive people.

To make use even smoother, the Roomba i3+ supports the iRobot Home app. This makes it possible to easily schedule cleaning routines and use voice commands to control the vacuum cleaner, providing an additional convenience in everyday life.

When it comes to cleaning performance, the Roomba i3+ delivers decent suction power, although it can be somewhat noisy during use. Battery life is better than what you'll find on some other iRobot models, and if the batteries start to run out during a cleaning session, it can return to its charging station to recharge, assuming the cleaning isn't complete.

A newer feature now available for the Roomba i3+ is smart mapping. It can create a map of your home, although it is limited to remembering only one floor level. This feature can be especially useful if you want to create cleaning zones or avoid specific areas.

In summary, the Roomba i3+ is a robot vacuum cleaner that is relatively easy to maintain, thanks to the automatic emptying of the dust container. Given its capabilities and features, the Roomba i3+ is definitely a good choice for those looking for a robot vacuum cleaner that not only reduces dust exposure but also offers an affordable solution for maintaining a clean home.
