I recommend using a air compressor to blow out the unit weekly. Works very well for us and keeps pet hair under control.
Pros: Easy To Empty, Easy To Use, Efficient, Lightweight
Cons: Noisy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great solution for a busy family

I've seen these similar vacuums in my visits to South Korea over the years and was so fascinated as in how this little robot cleans rooms so efficiently. I've always wanted to see it available here in the states and then I heard about iRobot. So far, this is probably the best solution our family have for our busy schedule. Nobody likes to vacuum the house and certainly our kids don't want to. Plus with the amount of dirt, dust, and bugs that accumulates around our house, this little vacuum cleans it with no problem, especially at hard-to-reach spots and crevices. When it cleans hardwood floors and marble floors, it's a bonus as well. No scratches or marks from it and it cleans up all the dust nicely as well. The only problem I've encountered with this is that I would have to relocate it to have our rooms vacuumed. It also scuffs along the walls frequently and has scratch marks all over the front sensors but it easily cleans off so it's not that big of a deal. I definitely recommended it to our friends and they bought one as well and loved it!
Pros: Cleans hard floors nicely, Cleans thoroughly, Doesn't ruin tassels, Scheduling options
Cons: Scuffs along the wall

excelent tool

Just about the only problem I have is the dog asleep in front of the docking base. I have a 1960's style split level home. Stanley is in the lower level where most activity occurs (one bedroom/bath/family room). I take him upstairs once or twice a week to do the rest of the house. Considering another unit to keep on the upper level which has 3 bedrooms and 2 baths. Cleans under beds and some other furniture that was difficult to clean with vacuum.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

Money well spent

We've had our Roomba about a month and love it! Decided to try it because we have a German Shepherd that we love dearly, but that sheds PROFUSELY! On first running we thought, "Uh-oh, this can't cope with the dog hair." But we ran it every day and after 3 or so days, it had the hair under control. I believe part of the problem is that one of our area rugs is of a material that doesn't want to let go of the hair. We have continued to run it just about every day and are very pleased. It keeps the floors looking very acceptable. I'm no longer embarrassed when people show up unannounced because the dark blue carpet looks like a snowstorm went through the house because of dog hair. We have hardwood floors with area rugs and lots of fringes and it has no trouble navigating on and off the rugs. It sometimes drops a little dirt when it goes up onto the very thick rug, but it's a small price to pay for the rest of the floor being clean. Love that it gets under all but the very lowest pieces of furniture. Gretchen (aforementioned German Shepherd) is a big wuss, but has no problem with it. She just keeps an eye on it and moves away from it. I've read some reviews that said the Roomba was loud. Well, not compared to any "real" vacuum I've ever heard. It makes a whirring sound and that's about it. We often start it before we go to bed and fall asleep while it's cleaning three rooms. I also haven't had a problem getting parts like some reviews mentioned. I decided to order spare brushes and an additional lighthouse/virtual wall and had them within about a week of ordering them. Some people also complained that it's hard to clean. Please! It takes all of maybe two minutes to empty the bin and clean the brushes--and most people aren't gonig to have to contend with the amount of dog hair we do. The biggest problem we've had with it so far is wasting time standing around watching it do its thing! I won't get rid of my upright vacuum, but I think the Roomba is the best money I've spent in a while.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Pet Friendly, Time saver
Cons: NONE

We have had to call for repairs 8 times in 6 months. People are nice, but that did not resolve problem. Finally had to contact Corp. Office and they resolved problem by replacing it with an upgraded unit.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Returns to Charger
Cons: Frequent Maintenance
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Buzz cleans all my hardwood floors and under my couches, chairs and beds. I love this guy! I use it every day and have told all my family and friends to get one as well. If only it could climb the walls and clean my wooden shutters!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly, Turn it on watch it go
Cons: But well worth it anyway, Loses Charge Quickly
