Regarding its downsides, it's worth noting that the iRobot Roomba 760 robot vacuum is overpriced. While its features and capabilities justify the price, the use of outdated navigational controls doesn't justify the price.
Besides this, the disadvantages of the 760th Rumba are as follows:
- Often perceives black surfaces as differences in height, which may result in him not being able to walk on black carpets, tiles, etc.
- Doesn't clean floors in corners well.
- The operating algorithm is poorly developed - it moves erratically and may miss dirty areas.
- High noise level.
