Ri3+ & BM6 w/ 3PK Bags
L**O
i3+ is a decent robot for simple layouts / m6 is really good
I got this bundle because I needed a way to vacuum and mop vinyl flooring with carpets and furniture in the way, and I had some previous experience with the i3+ EVO.The i3+ EVO is a decent robot but it's not the smartest of the bunch. If you have a house with a thick rugs, low cabinet or uncommon layouts don't expect it to be fully autonomous -- it's going to need some shepherding and help when it gets stuck. This is especially a problem with cabinets that are tall enough for the robot to just squeeze under with its main body but that catch the sensor protruding at the front. The i3+ is definitely NOT smart enough not to get stuck time and again if it manages to wedge that sensor under the cabinet.Long story short, unless your house doesn't have any complex obstacles, you'd be better served by a robot vacuum with better navigation sensors and capabilities. If you do have a relatively simple house that's either all carpet or no carpet/rugs, and thatThere is some confusion online about the mapping abilities of the i3+ EVO. The factory firmware has none. There is a day-0 update available which adds them. Your robot may not get the update immediately when brought online, it might take a day or two and the app has no way to force the update.Once on the correct firmware version, the i3+ EVO does have a mapping feature. However, it's not very good. The map doesn't seem to get updated much or at all after being generated by a mapping run, even though the robot claims to update it after it returns to base every time. It doesn't work much in low-light situations (do that mapping run during the day...). The map isn't very precise, and sometimes the robot gets confused and either misses some bits or doesn't understand what it cleaned (and no cleaned area is available in the app after it comes back -- it tries to load it forever and nothing happens).Because the i3+ EVO supports only 1 smart map, you can't even send it on a mapping run to see if you get a better result than the current one. For that to happen you need to delete the current map *first*. It would be much better if the robot could do a mapping run to 'refresh' the current map or at least allow comparing the new one with the current one. And obviously it would be even better if the mapping features worked better in the first place, without the need to try multiple mapping runs. One can hope a future firmware update solves some of these issues.In comparison the m6 fares *much* better. It has a lower profile without any protruding bits, it doesn't have to climb on carpets and it navigation and mapping features are in general much more solid. On its own it's a solid 4 stars for me. The only downsides it has for me are:- it's not particularly fast;- it can't raise its mop, so it leaves a wet trail behind when driving around after cleaning;- apparently it sometimes doesn't understand it's running out of water, you can't rely on it coming back to base for a refill in the middle of a job, though it will refuse to start a new one if the water is low.None of these are dealbreakers in my case because it takes seconds to refill the water and 1-2 runs to learn how many refills are needed to clean a whole floor. However if you plan on e.g. leaving it running unsupervised for weeks obviously something with automatic water refills would be better.All in all the combo is pretty solid if you're willing to babysit the i3+ EVO a bit, and if you're ok with the few shortcomings of the m6. It can also be really good value if you get it at a discount.

Life saver
100% worth your money. My house is all hard flooring with a large area rug in the living room. So the roomba does an exceptional job.i also have thick transitional trim I was worried we would have to replace it but I’m very impressed that the vacuum gets over it. The mop on the other hand doesn’t, which isn’t a huge deal. The mop even went with the grain of my wood. Because the map is always evolving, it started going the opposite way of the wood, which isn’t a big deal. The whole point of robot vacuum's and mops is to help you keep up. So even if you have carpet you still need to vacuum just less often. Same with mopping. I’m not a fan of the mopping solution it comes with. I just don’t think it’s the best option on any flooring (personal opinion). I use Murphys oil ever so often but mostly just vinegar and water. I don’t know if it says to use this but use distilled water and it will help the longevity of the mop. Although I haven’t experienced damaged furniture I do think it would be a good idea to put velvet on the bumper area of both devices to avoid the “what ifs”.

Worth it
The Roomba and the mop work perfect, they clean up everything and you can automate them. These are a must have if you have a big house and cleaning it will tire you out. We just set up the time and it does the rest.

I like the vacuum....
I was very excited to get this bundle, I was replacing my Roborock that really couldn't keep up for much longer with the way my German shepherd sheds. The vacuum I like a lot, it took 1 time to map my house, it cleans up the hair and debris very well, the suction power to clean the dustbin does some like a jet engine but its only for a moment and does well cleaning out the dustbin. The mop however, took about 4 times, 3 hours each to map my home, it also cleaned at an angle and the floor cleaner it came with left my floor so sticky, it didn't feel clean. I did end up using my own floor cleaner solution and diluted it but for some reason I just cannot get rid of the sticky feeling on my floors after it cleans and I clean the mop rag after every use and let it dry completely, I do not reuse it dirty. I have tried it for a week and I am just very underwhelmed with it, especially for the price. Unfortunately, since I bought it as the bundle, I have to return it this way. I don't really care for the app either, with the Roborock, I liked that it showed on the app where the vacuum was cleaning and the way it cleaned, I miss that feature. So this will be going back and I will get the Roborock Q7.

Teamwork gets the job done
I absolutely despise mopping. And if I can replace vacuuming too? Score! This team of Roomba and Brava keep our composite floors almost as clean as the day we installed them

A lot of issues right off the bat…
This is not great for the amount of money spent on it. After the first time vacuuming, it wouldn’t start and ended up needing a new part (which was covered by warranty and was easy to receive, which is a plus). When we went to use it the second time, it refused to connect to the Wi-Fi, despite the Wi-Fi working just fine. It took rebooting the vacuum several times and rebooting the router for it to finally work. It has trouble finding its home despite being in an easy to locate area and near the router, as suggested. The suction is good but either the map or the cleaning in general is weird because it doesn’t clean the whole house and just repetitively cleans the same areas, so a lot of spots end up being missed. I’m a bit disappointed, because the idea is to be able to let it clean without interference or while we’re not home, but that doesn’t seem possible, and it seems like I have to end up manually vacuuming areas it either didn’t go to or did not clean well enough.

Not a fan of the m6 with our floor layout!
We bought the combo, the sweeper does great and the mop is good...however if you have any kind of lip transitioning floors throughout your house, the m6 will not be able to get over it.

Great vacuum. Mop is just ok.
The vacuum is perfect, but the mop isn’t quite on the same level. It needs to come with more wet mop pads. Also doesn’t do enough. If you have it do one room a day and clean/change the wet mop every day it might be better.
