GOT TO LOVE IT I have owned mine for over 2 years, husband gave it to me for Christmas, best gift ever. Sure you still have to do the thoro cleaning under low furniture and behind but what do you expect. Its great for the in-between cleanings and goes back to charger so when you get back just dump the bin and let it go to another area. You can rearrange a little to make the area you want it to clean and do the other section when you return. Had a little problem we called to see what we needed to do and they sent me a replacement no questions asked. Thanks alot for a great product!!!!!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Quiet
Cons: Can get stuck under low

Buy it disbelievers!

This was the best gamble I put my money on. My husband was a big disbeliever and is now totally a believer in this product... this has even peeked his curiosity into the other irobots! It is a little loud but much quieter than my Dyson Animal Series, my 10 month old daughter loves when Jarvis is running and isn't afraid of him :) cat and three Shar-Pei just steer clear of him :) The only thing we didn't know before we bought Jarvis was he doesn't like black rugs, he thinks it is a cliff and will fall. So if you have primarily black or black patterned rugs he might not work for you. We bought new rugs from Turkey as we were upgrading our rugs anyway. We love it!
Pros: Baby Friendly, Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Dislikes black rugs, Loud Operation

Where has this been all my life?

I'm not supposed to vacuum per my doctor, but that's not realistic with a long haired cat, cheap carpet and no money to pay for a cleaning service. Had this recommended by a friend whose brother owned one and researched it pretty well before I bought. Other than an initial problem with a front wheel assembly, which was promptly replaced no charge, no hassle, the most time spent is cleaning the brushes. I'd redesign the end pieces to make it a little easier to get all the cat fur wound around in the little grooves easier to get out. It took me a little time to learn how to take the bits out, but once I learned, it's dead easy to hear the little nagging "nee-naw" sound, go in and clean brushes. As the house gets cleaner and it's NEVER been this clean, there's less to tangle around the brushes. This little darling was literally rolling up matts of cat fur from under the bed the first time it went under there. Watching it come out from under my kitchen island chasing dust bunnies taller than the Roomba was hilarious and gave it the name. My elderly cat settled down after watching it suspiciously the first few times and gets up to let it do its thing, then flops right back down in her sunbeam with only an ear flick. It's not so heavy that it exceeds my weight limit and I'm now able to clean my floors daily instead of once every 6 weeks or so. I'm looking forward to saving up for a Scooba and maybe a Dog for the garage/porch area where the lawn service blows stuff in around the cracks. The only downside is its habit of unplugging my phone and stereo wires in one room and I'm perfectly happy to plug them back in if it means this kind of clean. I've had mine about a month now and I can't imagine how I lived before it came along to snatch up all the wads of cat fur on the floor. The only area rug it can't handle has a combination of a pale green border and pattern on a black background. It thinks I've put it down in midair over a cliff and gets very distressed. The other oriental carpets in assorted dark colors and patterns don't bother it a bit and it doesn't tangle the fringed borders at all. I'm learning to hang the blind cords up away from it and it encourages me to be tidy and keep my shoes in the closet so I don't have to pick up anything out of its way. It'll mangle a magazine if you forget and leave it on the floor, but then so would a regular vacuum if it passed over. I run it until the battery goes dead to extend battery life rather than letting it dock on half a charge. This little gadget quickly made itself indispensible to me. I don't know why more people don't know about them or have them. I'm a fan!
Pros: Can work while it runs, Cat Ignores Roomba, Cat fur wads are GONE, Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Incredibly efficient, Pet Friendly, Quiet, Under the bed genius
Cons: Confused by black pattern, New front wheel required, Tangles in blind cords, Unplugs stereo wires
I would recommend this to a friend!

A Dream Come True

Being a single mother with a more than a full time job and also having 3 dogs in the house cleaning is not an easy task to get around to. But with the Roomba, I can come home in the evenings, get homework done, feed my family and the dogs and still vaccum the house.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck

Luv my Roomboni

I run mine twice a week. Sometimes on rare occasions gets stuck under the couch. Sometimes picks up the corners on some rugs. Still exceeds expectations but is not as good as the real thing. It supplements the cleaning.I still chase the tall vac once every couple of weeks for a more thorough cleaning. At first it was kind of difficult to clean the filter, so I started using an old soft toothbrush. I named mine after F.J. Zamboni, the other name was gonna be Arnold... it,s my old squadrons call sign because of Roomba's fire and forget capabilities. Also it cleans "any time baby" The obvious choice would have been Rosie from the Jetsons.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs
