We have a Roomba J7+ Combo with an extended warranty. The robot has some issues with the wheels so I called customer support on or about July 18th. We need knew wheels for the Roomba as the robot cannot roll around any longer, it just gets stuck because the wheels has become disconnected from the spindle. I have phoned several times regarding my case and I keep getting the the "warranty/escalation team" has not gotten around to my claim yet.I was told it could take 5-10 days to get an email/answer. I tis now August 13th and my robot just sits and ZERO contact from Roomba.I would like someone at Roomba to either send me the wheels for my robot or send me a new robot as I do have an extended warranty that can be used to replace the entire unit.My open case number is 10352719.Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter.Business Response

After around 1.5 years my Roomba's battery is starting to fail. This means it is almost never able to complete a cleaning cycle, often stops with a dead battery, and charges many more times than it did meaning the cleaning cycles take all day. I understand these batteries fail, but the reason for my complaint is as follows.1. 1.5 years is not a long time to own a product, and now it essentially does not work right, and I am expected to spend more money to get what I originally paid for.2. Lithium batteries can potentially explode, therefore this is a potential safety issue.3. iRobot wants over $120 for a replacement battery when the same thing is readily available on Amazon for around $50. This is extortionate. On receipt of my request for a replacement battery iRobot offered me only a 15% off discount code.Business Response

Hello ***,
We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your Roomba j7, this is not the experience we want for any of our customers.
After conducting an investigation on your robot's diagnostics, we noted that, after 20 months in service and 500+ cleaning missions, the battery seems to have reached its peak performance and needs to be replaced. This is normal wear and tear, and it is also true for all the other robots' modules and components. Consumables need replacement more often as well.It is also true that you can find replacement parts for our robots on other marketplaces, however, we always recommend purchasing from our website to prevent our customers from being sold counterfeit items that will not last nearly as long as the originals. We will be glad to make an exception this time and offer a 30% discount on the purchase of your battery, bringing it down to $91 plus tax. Should you choose to accept this offer, please let us know in a reply.
Looking forward to hearing back from you, until then,
Regards,

Hello *****,
We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your Braava m6, this is not the experience we want for any of our customers.
After further review of your case, we have concluded that since the issue was present before the end of the warranty date, we will make an exception and send a replacement robot. This is a brand-new unit that does not include a base, battery or pads, please make sure to keep yours. Order number 07874379 should be reaching its destination to you within 5 to 7 business days, we appreciate your patience.

I purchased an iRobot J7 Roomba last year. It is not connecting to the wifi and I finally gave up and did a factory reset. I have taken care of this vacuum for as long as I've had it--replaced the brushes, filter, vacuum bag, cleaned the base--everything. All of a sudden it decided it would stop connecting to wifi and charging. I called customer service and they walked me through trouble shooting. When none of that worked, they told me I would have to send it in for $300 repairs. I paid over $700 for this robot that has only lasted a year. When I asked to speak with a manager, I was placed on hold for so long I finally gave up. I would like for them to fix this without charging half the cost of the vacuum--ideally repairing it for free since it is only a year old and something you pay $700 for should last longer than a year.Business Response

Hello ********,
We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your Roomba j7+, this is not the experience we want for any of our customers.
Took a look at our records and found your ticket with Support, number ********. Reviewed the pictures that you kindly shared and noticed that the contacts on the base are not at their best shape, we noticed some build up which will definitely cause some charging issues (image attached). The robot's diagnostic data does not show any critical errors, only the usual that are not repetitive and that you've surely resolved with regular maintenance. The battery health is also on the green, with no errors reported.For the effect of the present issues, we've sent you a melamine foam, please use it to give the charging contacts on the base and their mates on the robot a good scrub and let it continue charging. We'll be looking forward to continuing assisting you until the issue is resolved.
If there is anything else we can assist with, please do not hesitate to contact us.

I have been calling this company to repair/damaged merchandise under warranty..I have called 5 times about a box that is to be sent so that I can safely send Irobot back to company for repair ..the company has already claimed to have sent box 3 times which obviously has serious issues since I've yet to receive a box ..As stated I have called numerous times and spoken to inefficient staff with no cu stomer service or problem-solving skills ..they are completely I'll equipped to deal with issues regarding the simplest of tasks ..I hardly believe a box was ever sent out since ots been close to a month and nothing received..they continue to blame the shipping company with no actual investigation..they have given me conflicting dates about dates boxes were sent and one phone call I placed to report box not received I was told a new ticket would be opened and a new box sent and when I called a week later no new ticket was open therefore no box sent ..suffice to say I spent one hour talking to customer service representative who notated nothing and did nothing ..horrifying..as stated this company seem incompetent and worse yet complete liars..i spoke to a supervisor named ***** today ..apparently these calls are recorded who was just as others unwilling to help or problem solve ..she was arrogantly speaking over me and suggesting we open yet again another ticket ..I offered another solution that I would send her equitment back from a shipping facility and that they should cover cost due to complete run around ..she was not willing nor did she like that option ..she flatly stated no they're not paying in a condescending tone ..complete garbage company and horrendous staffBusiness Response

In June of 2021, I purchase the S9 series, mop, vacuum, and bin combo. Within three months, both the mop and vacuum broke due to an internal software issue. Allegedly, beyond repair. By December, I received two replacements. By April of 2023, those replacements have also broken, a mere year and a half after the replacement was issued. Roomba EXPLICITLY outlines that the average life span of their product is 5-7 years, yet after FOUR individual pieces of equipment have failed in less than 3 years, they have still failed to fix the software issues that render their product COMPLETELY useless. Of course, after the year warranty expires, they absolve themselves of responsibility. There isnt a single option available to repair this software, as its proprietary. Yet, the only option available to me is a replacement, that I have to pay for as its out of warranty. My question to the BBB is how a product with exclusive patents on software can refuse to fix an internal component of a product that is advertised to have a self-life of 5-7 years, when its obviously not the case. If you look for five minutes in the review section of these products online, you will quickly find that this is a TREND that hundreds, if not thousands, of customers are being scammed by as they purchase a product that is advertising one thing, and very clearly delivering terrible outcomes for the purchasers who are left with $1,200 paperweights (I have four of them.) its also worth noting their warranty in the ** is two years and the reviews there are excellent, as it seems that the trend of these products is to break beyond repair at the 1.5 year ***** I urge the BBB to investigate this product and the fraud of iRobot in their marketing and advertising of a sub-par product that fails rapidly in its quest to meet operational expectations the company sets.Business Response

Hello ******,
We are sorry to hear that you are not enjoying your s9, this is not the experience we want for any of our customers.
By taking a look at our records, as well as the s9's diagnostic data sent to the cloud, we were able to validate your claim. We have millions of robots in our global fleet helping our customers on a daily basis, reiterating our robots being held to high quality standards, we believe that yours is a very rare case in which the original and the replacement robot were faulty to some degree.As your communications with support took place prior to the ending of warranty period, we can have your robot upgraded to the Roomba j7+, also a self-emptying robot with Precision Vision technology for object detection-object avoidance. Should you choose to accept this solution, we'll appreciate your help with returning the s9's for which we'll send you the return labels.
Looking forward to your response, for anything else we're just a reply away.

I started a trade in March. April 19th, iRobot received my trade via *** and did not acknowledge or start the trade in. I called customer service 3 times for an update. On the 4th call, May 20th, I got a hold of customer service who wanted to help and was able to issue the credit and get a robot ordered maintaining the sale price. He shipped the package and took my payment. *** showed up at our house but did not leave the vehicle. Since June 20th the package has not been updated at ***. June 24th I called customer service after both my husband and I were told by *** that they would not receive a claim from us. Customer service told my husband and I we had to start the claim even though we both communicated that *** stated Irobot had to start the claim. July 13th we received an email asking us to finalize the claim. I called customer service and escalated to a manager because of all the push back we had received from ***. They told me they could do nothing and I had to fill out the claim. *** declined the case I filled out. I called customer service again July 14th and spoke to *****. He told me I had to wait 5 business days for the manager to respond because they said they needed to find out what *** is doing. I told them him *** declined the case and I wanted to know what Irobot was doing now. He refused to answer and repeatedly told me I had to wait 5 business days. I let him know I would be publishing this because it is ridiculous I've had to work so hard since March to purchase the product and not receive it. He said because of this a manager will respond in an hour instead of 5 business days and he still would not transfer me. He absolutely refused to transfer. I waited 48 hours before responding to an ad on ******** on Saturday. They asked me to respond to a messenger post. ********* called Monday. I do not have resolution or the product. I've requested a refund and was laughed at *********. She has pushed off multiple times and denies culpability.Business Response

Product has still not been delivered and manufacturer has not followed through as requested via customer service to contact me directly as I have major concerns about the manipulation and aggressive tactics taken by their customer service vendor. It should have been notated in the case that I requested a refund multiple times and customer service declined to offer, provide or escalate when requested. Whenever I asked for an update along the way or a change to the resolution I was told things like they could no longer assist, that they could not confirm I would be contacted and that if I requested something other than what I was being offered instead of follow up on this day the follow would be a few days later instead including waiting until Sundays! The customer set company is pretty hostile.

Purchased the iRobot *9 on November 29, 2924 (order # US00954136, $1305.52) and the machine initially worked fine. We needed to replace an air filter which we purchased for iRobot and the box is clearly marked for the * series. The filter did not fit so we contacted the customer service and long story short the filter we received is not for the * series as marked on the box? Upon multiple emails back and forth they agreed to exchange the filters at no cost to us. They never sent the filters and we have been contacting them over and over to just return the machine. A demand letter was sent on 7/19/2024 for reimbursement of product.Business Response

Why choose a BBB Accredited Business?BBB Business Profiles may not be reproduced for sales or promotional purposes.
BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.
When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.
BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.
As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
