iRobot Roomba e5
iRobot's Roomba e5 is a powerful robot vacuum with strong suction, long battery life, and support for app control and voice commands, but it doesn't stand out against the competition.
Roomba e5: Top
The top of the vacuum is home to a silver Clean button in the middle, sandwiched between a Home button to the left and a Spot Clean button to the right. When the vacuum is on, indicator lights for battery life, troubleshooting, and Wi-Fi sit above the buttons. A built-in handle blends in nicely.
Roomba e5: Bottom
Flip the e5 over and you'll find the multi-surface roller brushes, brush caps, a brush frame release tap, an edge sweeping brush, cliff sensors, a caster wheel, and charging contacts.
Roomba e5: Front
The front of the e5 houses the bumper. Even though the vacuum's bumper technology helps it to identify when it's approaching an object, the area around the sensor gets dirty quickly, which keeps it from working properly. To prevent the e5 from bumping into furniture and walls, make sure to wipe the bumper with a wet cloth before each cleaning session.
Roomba e5: Back
The back holds the 0.5-liter dustbin, the bin release button, and a filter.
