I definitely recommend buying, I didn't notice any disadvantages.

An interesting robot: before buying, I read and viewed a lot of rave reviews and no less devastating reports of multiple errors, "factory marriage", etc. Realizing that the iRobot brand did not appear on the market yesterday and not all people know how to operate the equipment, I decided to take a chance . My impressions of using this home assistant are as follows: errors (like "31") sometimes happen, BUT, an analysis of the reasons for their occurrence convinced me that they arise not because of a "factory defect" but because of the peculiarities of the functioning of the orientation system when using Wi-Fi and the Internet. I noticed that from time to time the robot slows down, the blue backlight on the lid starts to "run", then it confidently moves on. I believe that the positioning system refers to American servers, processes something in the clouds and pumps it back out. So, if even with a "good" Internet access to their servers is "not very" it can "glitch" . That is, in my practice of using the vast majority of days of cleaning the entire apartment without errors (several days in a row), but there are also days when errors appeared several times (2-3) in one cleaning?! But there is no trend towards the progression of "buggy", on the contrary, the complete absence of the system! I didn’t use the vacuum cleaner at night, so I can’t evaluate its ability to navigate in the dark.

In general, I like the S9 + and I don’t regret the money spent on it. The wife, initially very skeptical about the Roomba S9 +, admitted that it cleans very cleanly and if there is a pet, such a device is simply necessary, now she is also joining the use of robotics.

Pros

It cleans the floor from the parquet board very cleanly (the cat lives in the apartment), the gaps are minimal (although there seem to be such zones on the map, they are not visually detected on the floor .). He orients well, does not rush from room to room, removes them sequentially. Under the bedside tables climb "not afraid." After the complete construction of the map, he cleans the apartment with a total area. 70 sq m area 36-38 sq m in an average of 1.5 hours. To date, removed 956 sq m (information from the application). The system of emptying the container of the robot into a bag in the base is very convenient (albeit noisy), it is she who creates the complete feeling that the robot does everything by itself, and not you run after it and constantly clean it (IMHO). The capacity of the bag in the base is decent - it has not changed since the start of operation. The application, for my taste, is convenient: in 2022, the functionality is intuitive. There are "jambs" in the design of the application (for example, the error viewing service is poor), but where without it. The container in the robot is located on top, so removing it is very convenient (although not often required). I really like the design of the rollers - they are very long (they take up most of the width of the robot) and when moving along the walls (or other border) it "scrapes" the floor almost at the very edge of the robot. Despite the fact that there are 2 ladies in the house, the rollers in the hair do not get tangled and do not require constant cleaning after each use. He finds the base perfectly - he never got lost on the way home. There were cases when he needed recharging - he went to the base, emptied the container, recharged, and resumed work from the same place. ate after a few months of use: it's MUCH better. Error 31 stopped appearing at all. Cleaning time has significantly decreased (by 30 percent). Now it works exactly as I expected.

Cons

It requires careful preparation of the apartment for cleaning: wires (shoes with laces, ropes, etc.) must be removed (tighten the laces with rollers and get up), it is better to remove the chairs (so that there are fewer missed seats), it is better to raise the curtains from the floor (it happened under the curtain and helplessly lost). Moderately noisy. I think for those who like to do everything at night, this device is not suitable. Noisy, it feels like a full-fledged vacuum cleaner. He likes good Internet (not only speed but also the absence of "failures"). It does not clean near its base (about 20-30 cm in radius). The choice of the installation location of the base requires careful consideration: initially I installed it near the wall between the doors to the kitchen and the hall (the wall was about 1 m wide, the base was 20 cm from the door to the kitchen), so he categorically could not enter the kitchen, did not "saw "door, probably because of the base. After moving the database to another location, the problem self-destructed. It pushes quite strongly (although it has a special movable obstacle detector in front), so you need to take into account its ability to knock over or drop something. Of course, the S9+ is VERY expensive!
