Our Verdict
iRobot Roomba i3
Wyze Robot Vacuum
The Wyze Robot Vacuum is better than the iRobot Roomba i3. The Wyze has fewer parts requiring regular maintenance, incurs lower recurring costs, lasts longer on a single charge, and delivers better performance on bare floors. However, the iRobot does have an automatic surface adjustment feature and a self-emptying function that reduces hands-on maintenance requirements.
