It can get stuck on power cords or socks and have difficulty navigating between different surfaces, like hardwood and rug.
iRobot suggests that you clear areas that the i3+ EVO will vacuum prior to when you use it, and include getting rid of any clutter or toys it may come across. It's also recommended to keep the dustbin and filter clean so they do not become blocked by dirt. When the i3+'s internal bin is filled or the battery is low it will return to its docking station and automatically empties its debris into the station's dust bin and then resumes cleaning where it began.

We were also amazed by the i7+'s compatibility Amazon Alexa and Google Assistant AI services which we used to instruct the robot to begin, stop or pause its cleaning sessions and move around the room, and even vacuum an area.
