Like having a new house

We have 2 dogs who track in dirt and shed year round. The irobot has changed our lives -- no more dirt and hair, allergies improved, and no more fighting over who vacuums. We also have less clutter bcs we now clean so frequently and frequent cleaning means we keep things picked up and off the floor.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs

Nice! Left it running in my home office while we went to dinner and came back to nicely vacuumed room. As soon as I opened the door, it headed out into the living room. My dogs are curious but not scared of it like with the upright vacuum and it is not as loud either. I think this unit will be a nice compliment to my upright and cleans under chairs and tables where I can't reach. It couldn't find the docking base even when placed in it's vicinity but that is a minor issue. Maybe next time! Perhaps there is a "learning curve"
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

Good product but.........

Fortunately when the parts broke that operated the brushes, my Robot was still under warranty. The side brush is still flimsy and the screw loosens, causing the brush to fly off. When everything is working it cleans hardwood floors well.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room
Cons: Brush motor replaced, Frequent Maintenance, Side brush replaced

It does better than me...

We have a dog and two cats. Our dog attacks a regular vacuum but none of the animals mind the Roomba moving around the house. Our robot has been with us for four months now. We have a two story house with all hardwood or tile floors. Because you need to use it everyday for it to do well you really need a fleet of them. Roomba does a good job of cleaning large area rugs and does not get tangled in the fringe however it has a tendance to "clean" its brushes on the edge of the rugs leaving small piles of animal hair behind. I would strongly suggest keeping a supply of filters on hand because they only last two months. I do recommend it for daily up keep as it does well with dust bunnies under furniture (which is my favorite thing since I am to lazy to do that regularly with a big vacuum) but you still need a regular vacuum for a thorough cleaning of your home (ie. furniture, lamp shades, stairs, etc).
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Frequent Maintenance

I have a Kirby and a TriStar vacuum. I thought, how can this little thing be better than them? It IS! The fine, dusty dirt that it picks up amazes me every time it runs. It picks up so much that my carpet actually is 'puffier' now - it lifts the carpet piling and it feels like new carpet again. I have 4 cats and 2 dogs and this tiny thing works its butt off. Much better than I could do - that's because it works over the area many more times than I would ever. I love it! Really works, I was doubtful, but now am a believer. I'm thinking about the scooba....

I have been curious about this vac for quite some time. So I decided to try it out. I used to own a cleaning business so I was skeptical. But it has proved me wrong. I LOVE it. It has made my life much easier. I leave for work and it vacs while I'm at work. I come home to a pet hair free home. I love it. It does not get stuck and it really does a great job. We are buying one for our office to clean when we leave. I also got the scooba to mop. You must get it also. It does a fantastic job. I loves these robots!! Now I just need one to mow the lawn :-)

Use it daily. Only downside is frequent cleaning of brush axels due to pet hair accumulation.

I love this product. I set the programable schedule, so i set it and forget it. I get home from work and the floors are clean. I can now walk barefoot in my entire house and not get dirt or crumbs on my feet. Great. I do wish it was less noisier. I now don't use it on the weekends when we are home because it does get to loud, and sometimes when i do get home, he is not on his home base, he is stuck somewhere, usually on a runner carpet in the bedrooms. But only on occasion. I still LOVE this product. I don't know how anyone cannot. 2 other family members have chosen to buy one and they love it too.
