BEATS EXPECTATIONS
on August 16, 2009

I'm kind of a gadget guy, and the fact that our oldest son and daughter-in-law just purchased a Roomba....meant that I had to get one. I purchased a 560 and expected to catch a ration of grief about it ("you old coot, now what did you buy ?"). We fired it up and the minute she saw how well that it worked and that it went right to work under all of our sofas, love seats, beds, she was sold. These are the places The Dyson never goes. The next morning, the wife said she though that we should buy another as it would be a great gift for her 83 year old mother.

I have severe back problems and running a regular type vacuum cleaner was so hard for me to do. My neighbor suggested iRobot Roomba and even showed me how it works in her home. I was sold! I went out the next day and bought it and now it's part of the fam. It is on a schedule 3x a week and I am worry free about my home looking neat and clean all the time.

My husband saw a Roomba at a friend's house. I was skeptical but he was sold on it. I LOVE this machine! We looked at reviews and saw very few negative comments. Loud? Well, it IS a vacuum cleaner. It is less noisy than my conventional vacuum. Gets stuck? Yeah, there are a couple places where it can get stuck, like under the back of my rocker recliner. I just move the floor lamp 6 inches to behind my chair when the vacuum is going to run. Not a big deal. We have wood and tile floors and two big hairy dogs. I program the roomba to clean every morning and there is little to no hair on the floor. Cleaning the roomba is a snap, much less time than vacuuming as often as I would have to, to keep the floor so nice. I use the lighthouses to keep the roomba in the living/kitchen area, where most of the hair and dirt collects. Every few days I pick it up and set it in another part of the house. This is a great product!

WONDERFUL!!!!!

This is a fantastic machine! We live in a large house with many wood floors also populated by two cats. Problem? Yes. Solution? Roomba. We are extremely well pleased. We hope Durwood is here for the long haul. Our only suggestion: when Durwood docks and does the Roomba rumba to recharge, sometimes the dock slides and docking fails. If the back of the station were flat instead of curved (a small plastic fix) it would stay tight against a wall and not rock back and forth as Durwood cozies in for a refuel.

Love It!!!

I don't know why I didn't have one of these sooner. This is probably the best gadget I own. It cleans my hardwood floors much better than I would do myself,especially since it goes under furniture. My area rugs have never looked so good. I am always amazed that even though I run it every day Mable still finds dirt. I can walk bare foot on my floors and not have anything on the bottom of my feet. I have told everyone I know about this time saver. I am considering buying another for our downstairs.(maybe roomba should run a promotion for owners wanting a 2nd or 3rd one) As far as the noise goes Mable is not as noisy as my Hoover and really saves my back. I like being able to program it to come on so that it cleans even if I am not home. I could go on and on about Mable because I do love it!!! This will probably be a good Christmas present for my adult children and if you watch you can get them at a good price
