Surprisingly Good Performance

Posted by: AJ

It vacuums while I do other chores or watch tv, good for regular light cleaning, occasionally gets itself stuck but pleasant alarm tone to alert you and is easily put back on track.

i'm in love. first bought a roomba long ago, then another for a friend, and now a new one for myself. I love that it transits from carpet to tile floor. Now if I can get everyone to stop watching it and start doing something more useful. pegwage

She's a family member

Love it when it's new. but as it gets used it seems to collect dust withing the machinery in places that I can't clean out. It then becomes less effective.

Bought mine at a yardsale, [$]. Great buy. Interesting when purchasing one your mind immediately gets focused on cleaning. For that, I'm grateful as well.

One word - Awesome!
on September 18, 2009

I received this as a gift for Christmas and it was one of the best gifts I have ever received! I don't even own an upright vacuum anymore - just my Roomba and a handheld for my car and the stairs. I love my robot because it makes vacuuming so much easier and convenient! I can let it run and read, dust or cook dinner and not have to waste time vacuuming. I now vacuum 3 times as much as I did before because I didn't want to drag out the large upright. The cleaning ability of the Roomba is great! It is amazing the dirt it picks up! It picks up cat litter from the carpet, cat hair, and even the glitter that spilled on the carpet (though I did have to do two passes with the spot cleaning feature - not a big deal since you just have to push a button). It is very quiet compared to an upright vacuum. My cat doesn't run and hide every time it is on - she actually continues to sleep while it is going and I can watch TV with it vacuuming. I also love my Roomba because as well as being functional it is stylish so I can leave it out and it doesn't look ugly or out of place. The only downsides (beside the stairs issue) is that I have to frequently clean out the brushes because it picks up so much of my long hair that it clogs up the brushes, it occasionally gets stuck on cords and the brush cleaning tool isn't that great. I solved the brush cleaning tool issue by using an inexpensive sewing seam ripper instead to get out the hair wrapped around the bearings and brushes. And even though it clogs with my hair it is still easy to clean the brushes. I have never had a vacuum that was so easy to clean the brushes and I love that just about all the parts are self-serviceable so you can replace them or clean them and not have to pay for a vacuum cleaner service to clean it out or repair it for you. If my robot ever dies, I will be on the website in a heartbeat to order a new one! Awesome, awesome, awesome product!!!

Side Feet are a Definite Problem
on September 13, 2009
Posted by: Lefty's Mom
from Nanticoke, PA
This is the 2nd Roomba I've owned. The first was an older model that lost it's charge and it was cheaper to buy a new model. I've select the 530. I have had one problem with this one....the side brush feet keep breaking off. I'm talking in less than 10 runs, the side brushes broke off one by one. It had six and I can only purchase a brush with three. What gives and why would they break off in less than 10 runs? I'm very disappointed that the little machine is so expensive and yet parts are flying off. Help! It doesn't do such a good job without side brushes! However, it does pick them up when they break off. : 0 )
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Frequent Maintenance, Side brushes defective, Side brushes not durable

Do you need a Sales Rep

Verified Purchase:No
This is a wonderful machine. Just received it and it works great. Cleans the floor great, yes it does randomly clean the floor but from what i can see it covers ever area. I could think of plenty of things to do while my Hazel (the irobot) is working.

Bought Refurbished

I use to do light vacuuming twice a week in between infrequent regular vacuuming, once a month. Does well with electric cords. Not too loud, hardly ever needs help, occasional hangups under swivel rockers. Great job under beds, couches, etc.

Cons: Can Get Stuck
