Know before you buy
The i1 uses dual multi-surface rubber brushes designed to grab pet hair without getting tangled. Combined with its 10X Power-Lifting suction, it is highly effective at pulling stubborn fur and dander out of carpet fibers.
The i1 features a standard onboard dustbin that requires manual emptying. However, it is compatible with the iRobot Clean Base, which allows the vacuum to automatically empty its contents into a sealed bag if you choose to purchase that accessory separately.
Unlike older models that move randomly, the i1 uses intelligent sensors to navigate your home in neat, efficient rows. This ensures it covers your floors systematically and doesn't miss spots.
Yes, the i1 is Wi-Fi connected and syncs with the iRobot Home App. You can start, stop, or schedule cleaning sessions from anywhere using your smartphone.
Yes, the Roomba i1 integrates seamlessly with both Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa. You can simply use voice commands to tell your robot when to start or stop cleaning.
Refurbished units are inspected, cleaned, and tested to ensure they meet iRobot's performance standards. They offer a functional, cost-effective way to get the same cleaning technology as a brand-new unit.
