Description

Only from Roomba, the Roomba 205 DustCompactor Vac Robot is fully-loaded with innovation that keeps cleaning simple. The perfect vacuuming robot for homes where space is at a premium, this sleek, action-packed robot has all the benefits of a separate self-emptying dock built right into the robot. With the industry's first-ever mechanical compactor, debris is lifted into the robot and continuously compacted for up to 2 months at a time so you can keep your hands out of messes. The 3-stage Vacuuming System combines 70X more* power-lifting suction, a rubber brush that grabs all kinds of debris from crumbs in the kitchen to sandy footprints in the entry, and a corner brush that reaches into tight spaces and pulls up dust-bunnies wherever they gather. Feel confident the clean will be completed as the battery lasts for over three hours. But when it gets low, your robot automatically heads for a recharging and then returns to finish the task where it left off. Continuous, hassle-free cleaning is made possible by ClearView LiDAR hidden inside the robot. This high-performance navigation system quickly maps your home, smoothly steers around obstacles, and maximizes floor-cleaning coverage wall-to-wall. To customize your clean, simply tap the Roomba Home App to opt for multiple vacuum passes in high-traffic areas, choose the level of suction, or even schedule a night cleaning.This Roomba® raises the bar with first-of-its-kind onboard compacting. Roomba blends seamlessly into your home decor with sleek, beautiful finishes, leaving behind a brilliant clean. *As compared to Roomba® 600 series robots

Q: Can you map it so that it does not go into certain rooms?

submitted by Robin - 30 days ago
  • A: Hello Robin, No, you cannot set "keep-out zones" on a Roomba 205 because it uses basic navigation and temporary report maps rather than persistent, editable Smart Maps. It does not save a permanent layout in the app that lets you draw lines or block specific rooms. Most of our higher end models do have the feature.

    Does NOT work

    The computer does not remember which rooms it has done. I had to re-set the settings several times before the routine would "stick" in the memory. This took hours of (wasted) time. The vacuum gets caught on lamp bases, under the sofa, on speaker legs (1/8" high), on the recliner legs. In other words, it runs for about 4 minutes, then gets stuck and runs the battery down. Charging takes 4-5 hours. Then try again, for another 4 minutes! Once it claimed to have finished the first floor routine--but the history showed 1 minute in the living room. Nope. I've had it for 2 weeks, have tried to vacuum the living room rug about 6 times, and this time, I'm sitting right here to re-direct it constantly. Now it's making a horrible noise--I thought the dog was getting sick. I emptied it, still makes this obnoxious noise so I can't even use the phone while it's "working". Now it's in the wrong room entirely! I've set "no" zones, which now include under the sofa and much of the living room! My Roomba 600 had no problems. The computer is really bad.

    Had an early model many years ago and I hated it. This one is amazing! Used it daily for 3 months so far. I own two Aussies and 3 cats. I also have a toddler. My house is hard flooring with some area rugs. 1050sqft it does need to go back and charge once before finishing. I’m so happy I’m not sweeping everyday and the floors feel clean.

    This room is unbelievable in a good way we had years ago Was just ok.This one hardly needs emptying and works much better. It connects to Alexa and we can operate it from across the room. It's a real robot that talks to you and mas the rooms. Such a great deal now too!

    It's a NO for me

    The idea of a robot vacuum gets two stars from me. I hoped it would perform well, but it was a major disappointment. There was no real suction, and I couldn’t speak to durability because I packed it back up about 15 minutes after the first use. I only needed it for wood floors, yet it wouldn’t stay on its path or remain connected to the internet. Maybe I’m not tech savvy enough, but this vacuum is a definite no.

    Disappointing

    The first few days were great: an assistant doing the once over automatically! Then it got stuck on a carpet (easy fix). Then the brush fell off (another easy fix but already?). Then it needed assistance (it was lonely??). The brush kept falling off, it kept stopping, it required assistance, it started going off in the middle of the night... And at the end of it all, there are still crumbs on the hardwood floor. Such a bummer. Return!

    Do not buy this Roomba

    I "upgraded" to a new model and could not hate this model more. It can NOT detect any objects, gets stuck on almost everything (rugs that are even taped down) and is SO MUCH LOUDER. I run mine everyday downstairs and have had it for about a month with no successful runs yet. Do NOT recommend.

    Stopped Working After One Clean

    Very disappointing. It worked once after creating the map, then constantly got lost and tried to return to the dock after just a few minutes of cleaning. Even when the dock was only a foot away, it couldn't find it. Remapping and troubleshooting didn't fix the issue. Not reliable.

    Roomba is okay

    The Roomba 205 is a pretty good vacuum. This is probably my fourth or fifth I robot Roomba vacuum. The only thing I don't like is that I have to have a totally different app to use it than the current vacuum that I have upstairs and I don't like the new app. It is not user-friendly at all other than that the vacuum is pretty good and I'm glad I don't have to empty it every single day I have two large hairy dogs so it helps.

    This Roomba did a great job vacuuming. I was a little worried about the wet mopping but it knew where the rugs were and avoided them.

    Quality At A Great Price

    My daughter recently bought this model & I watched it map the house & then clean perfectly. I threw away my old off brand model that was used up & in 2 days I’ll be getting one that cleans quickly & quietly so my small dog won’t be hiding. This is a good price & will last for years.
