Yay Roomba!!!
on December 4, 2009
Posted by: Busy Mom
from Ontario, Canada
I have 2 kids and 2 cats. Roomba picks up everything that they drop. Cat hair, Cheerios, winter grit and so far everything else that has been on any of my floors. My 2yr old loves Roomba too. She talks to it like it's her friend. The cats aren't bothered by him at all either. They don't even seem to notice Roomba driving around. He's not any louder than my dishwasher. Certainly much quieter than my conventional vacuum.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Frequent Maintenance, Loses Charge Quickly
I would recommend this to a friend!

A bot in every house

My college kids are both getting the bots for Christmas this year. They've seen mine in action. We had new carpet installed and she picked up all the loose pieces our other vac left behind. I'm impressed with the efficiency of the product.

We love Robie. We love how he keeps our house clean, and how he is so good at picking up feathers and seed! Our house has much less dust since we started using our Roomba almost a year ago.

Great Gift

I gave this to my daughter. Great Xmas gift. Should have given it sooner. I love to watch it. Came up from Florida and saw it for the first time. Going to get one for my rugless floors in Florida. Amazing. My daughter loves it. She works 2 jobs and the floors are clean when she gets home.

Not just a gadget!
on May 10, 2009

We have 3 dogs (two giant) plus 3 cats & a parrot. It not only picks up the pet hair but is a wonder around the birdcage. It cleans our wood floors & rugs better than a human & the area under the beds now stays clean. It's quick & easy to clean the brushes (& surprisingly not yucky)--the extra set was a great idea. We've had it about a month & I still marvel at what great job it does...at about the same price as a premium vacuum cleaner. We named it after a whirlwind of a housekeeper we once had. Wish iRobot made a lawnmower.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, No odor, Pet Friendly

Finds the dirt under the furniture.
on March 21, 2009
Posted by: Search Party
from Delaware County, PA
Works great to find the dirt along base boards and under furniture. Even picked up a dog treat that was forgotten. Does great picking up hair, carpet lint, dust bunnys etc. Roomba at times will miss items. Sometimes does get stuck. When running I wish this model 530 would return to its base to self charge when power nears empty. Always need to pick up the 530 when power is drained and place on charging base when not around. Bad part of this is when the unit power discharges under furniture and then it becomes a search party for the 530. One thing to point out is you need to always clean out the unit after each run. The hair and carpet lint wraps around the brush wheels and greatly builds up if cleaning is not performed. Does it help out I would say yes, but since we just started to use the 530, I question the time for maintenance and the replacement parts cost to determine the Roomba 530 over all value and helpfulness.
Pros: Cleans Under Furniture, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Frequent Maintenance, No base return recharge
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Only one drawback
on February 4, 2009
Posted by: Love My Jack Russells

Verified Purchase:No
I adore my Roomba but HE is very high maintenance.My two daughters and I all have long hair and I have to unwind hair from the brushes every few minutes. But, I also have three dogs and a cat and every time I use my Roomba there is a lot of pet fur in the waste bin so I keep using it. I can never leave the house expecting it to do a whole room or a complete cycle on its battery due to the hair issue and the fact it does get stuck quite frequently. Wish I could overcome these two problems because it does a fabulous job - even picking up more hair after I have used my central vac - and I recommend it to all my friends.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Pet Friendly

I'll never be without a Roomba!!
on January 13, 2009
Posted by: Donna
from Sweet Home Alabama
I received my Roomba as a gift, kind of like a unique toy, from my husband. We both love watching 'Ms.Roomba' as she cleans. It is so amazing to watch and see how it maneuvers around furniture and walls. I decided to see how much 'she' really cleans, so I used another vacuum after my Roomba had finished. The vacuum that I used has a dirt sensor with a red light that comes on if it detects dirt. To my utter surprise the red light did not come on at all! So now my new 'toy' is also a great help in keeping my house clean! I love it and hope I never have to be without one. I want to buy a couple more of the virtual walls because they are a real benefit to have. If you don't have a Roomba, buy one! You won't be sorry!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time
Cons: A little noisy, Can Get Stuck
