Disgruntled with chat ...unresolved issue

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Spent 6 hours troubleshooting with no resolution; case number given but no follow-up after sending receipt and video; chat and phone offered no help.

After spending a day, 6 hours on chat and troubleshooting the problem, it not resolved. I requested to send the sales receipt and video.

I gave the case number. There was no further response or guidance. Yesterday, the chat said they were extremely busy, but someone would get back to me in 15 minutes. There was no response.

Now, today, I am trying chat again, but there is no help.

I tried the telephone numbers and only got robo responses with a 30-minute wait. Terrible customer service!

Loss:
$293

Preferred solution: A new replacement or refund

User's recommendation: Steer Clear

The company makes it really hard to contact customer service

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full

It was next to impossible to find a phone number to contact customer support which made frustrating because the Roomba problem I have is computer based frequently. Ask questions and troubleshooting did not fix this problem. Finally when I got a representative I had resolution.

Pros:
  • When the robot works
  • It does great
Cons:
  • Smallest problem turns into the biggest problem

Preferred solution: Understanding that all problems are not fixed with AI

User's recommendation: Make it easier to get help

Problem with self robot won’t go to home station to empty and charge

Reset the robot with a representative, and that fixed it. The robot is now working the way it should and is going to the home base.

Pros:

  • Not working due to a code 45

Preferred solution: An answer why it keeps giving the same code

  • - Worst customer service; no repair options and replacements take weeks.
  • - We had issues from day one; consider other options.

worst customer services, they have no repair options and take weeks to replace the item if youre lucky enough to get a replacement, we had issues with ours from day one and should have just returned it then... seriously look at other options and dont just buy since its a big brand.
