A MIRACLE MACHINE!
on September 9, 2008
Posted by: BeaEllie

If Vacuum cleaner salesmen were selling these door to door, I would have owned one years ago.I now have three and a Scooba. As my sister said, (after I talked her into buying one) "Owning a Roomba has elevated my home to a new level of clean." The best for people with allergies, it finds the dust we miss and with regular use, the floors are "barefeet" clean.[...] All over, I'm one happy customer.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Maintains Cleanliness, Pet Friendly
Cons: Absolutely None

My new best friend
on August 26, 2008
Posted by: Max
from Alexandria, Va
As a single guy, I really don't engage in much house cleaning. I've had more than a few girlfriends take the vacuum, and clean my entire house. So roomba (Molly) is a godsend. Tonight a former girlfriend came over (it was her birthday)and all she could do was stare at the floor in disbelief. She had never seen the place so clean. She said it was as good as her cleaning. I feel like I'm entering a new chapter in my life- as corny as that sounds. This machine does everything I had hoped it would. You do have to get cords and other things off the floor, or it does sometines get a bit carried away in grabbing them, and sometimes it can't seem to find the charging base, which is not a big deal. It has good battery life and seems pretty sturdy. I think this would be ideal for a college environment where you have multiple roommates, particularly males.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room

Love that robot!

from Calgary Alberta, Canada
I got my Roomba for Christmas 2007. In our house there are two small kids 4 & 6. Our family room & kitchen the most used rooms in our house were constantly dirty. Although we have a cleaning service once per week I still needed to vaccum every second day to have it as clean as I liked. When I got Blacktop I programmed him to come on every afternoon while the family was out of the house. I couldn't believe all the stuff he picked up even after the cleaning service came. I wouldn't hesitate to reccomend this robot to anyone except those with dogs.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time
Cons: Does Not Clean Stairs, Frequent Maintenance

I love my roomba.
on June 8, 2008

from New York, NY
This is my third Roomba and each time I get one, it is improved. I love it. I have wall to wall carpeting and a cat. The only problem I have is that they dont last-I use it once a week, cleaning after each use and after a few years they break down.While I am waiting to get a new one, I use my Hoover Wind Tunnel which I hate pushing around and which cant get up the small litter, hair etc. Recently, I had a bridal shower in my home and when everyone left, I used the Hoover but it didnt clean well at all. I was thinking I would need to get a professional cleaning. Then my Roomba arrived and I am so happy. My carpet looks like new.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Breaks down in a few yrs, Frequent Maintenance

Love my new toy!!

from San Diego, CA
I specifically bought my roomba for my kitchen and family room which have hardwood floor. I got tired of seeing all the crumbs and pet hair when you first walk into the house. The other day I left the roomba to clean the kitchen and family room while I went shopping, and when I came back, the floor was ready to be mopped! My dog doesn't mind it at all, he stays up on the couch when its running. My mother-in-law borrowed my roomba and plans of buying one because she has a bad hip and can't vaccuum anymore. She is very particular and I honestly thought she would have nothing but negative things to say.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

WOW,much improved !

from Kenosha, WI
Much improved ! I had a Roomba Discovery and it did a pretty good job but it would constantly get stuck and anything loose would get it tangled up and stop it. If there was a loose thread in my carpet it would grab on and start unraveling my carpet ! The new Roomba is much better and it goes places and does not get stuck in an area where Discovery would. Cleans efficient and is much quieter.

Our Hobo Robo
on April 30, 2008

from Aledo, TX
We have lots of tile in our house and this has helped so much with the dust. I love letting it run every evening after supper in the kitchen. With little kids this has helped so much keep the crumbs off the floor. Our house was struck by lightening and the charger and homebase were ruined so be sure to plug it into a surge protector.[...] I am looking into buying the scoomba soon!

Nine Reasons Why I Love the Roomba
on February 18, 2008
Posted by: Whitney
from New York, NY
Verified Purchase:No
So what's so great about the Roomba? Honestly, he's better than your average husband. More useful and a lot less expensive. Here it is, all laid out for you: 1- He can be trained. After a few passes around the apartment, he learns the layout and cleans more efficiently each time. 2- He cleans all my nooks and crannies. Roomba fits perfectly under the dishwasher so I don't have to get down on my hands and knees. 3- He pays attention to detail. When he finds a particularly dirty spot, he focuses on getting it clean before moving on. Read more of my review here: http://whitneyhess.com/blog/2008/02/nine-reasons-why-i-love-the-roomba/
