Choose the Roomba i5+ for self-emptying convenience, strong carpet cleaning, and easy app setup. Skip it if mopping, obstacle avoidance, reliable wet-bin detection, or no-go-zone control matters more than routine...
Pros: Assembly and Setup, Overall cleaning convenience
Cons: Odor control, Obstacle Avoidance (Robot)
Choose it only for a very cheap, very light vacuum for low-pile carpet touchups. Skip it for hard floors, allergies, large debris, deep cleaning, or homes needing strong filtration.
Pros: Controls and UI, Onboard tool storage
Cons: Filtration / Dust Containment, Floorhead Seal on Hard Floors
