Love it.....

Work fulltime and go to school fulltime so I dont have alot of time to spend cleaning. I also have two. I have two dogs so cleaning is a must daily. I was worried that Eva my roomba wouldnt be able to cross betweenthe kitchen and the living room due to a slight raise in the floor but she had no problem. She is worth every dollar....
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Covers Entire Room, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

I still love my Roomba

My Rosie is programed to run every afternoon, to have a clean a floor when I get home from work in the evening! I love her. Pet hair never flying around on the hardwood floors any longer! She does get tangled up on the kitchen throw rug, so we have to make sure we pick them up each day which is a pain, but so worth it to come home each day to clean floors! We even carry her upstairs do clean the carpet in the bedrooms. It doesn't get as clean as a traditional vacuum, but still is really nice to not have to do it myself!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Frequent Maintenance, Loud Operation

Really Cool

We've really enjoyed our Roomba so far. We have a dog that sheds a BUNCH and it seems to handle it ok. We haven't had it get stuck, it seems to be pretty smart. Because we have a pet with lots of hair, we have to clean it out a lot... but I think we expected that, so it's really not a huge drawback to be honest. The reason for the 4 stars is because it's not like I'll never have to pick-up a vacuum again. While it keeps up with good, regular maintenance, I still have to bring out my big one about once a month. But, it does get under our furniture which to me, it s a HUGE plus for lots of reasons, but mostly because a lot of people are allergic to our dog and having the Roomba get under things helps keep allergens down.
Pros: Cleans Under Furniture, Hassle Free Operation, Pet Friendly
Cons: Frequent Maintenance, Loud Operation

So far so good(week 1)...to be continued

Have had a Rommba 550 for only 4 days, but so far so good. Amazed on how much dust, hair and debris it actually picks up, even after the house being vacuumed the day before purchase. Dogs don't seem to mind it either, but we placed treats on it so they would have a positive association with it. When it was running we also gave the dogs treats so they would continue their positive association. No issues as of yet. Have been vacuuming out (ironic) dust bin/brushes to keep it functioning properly. To be continued....

It cleans so much more effectively than normal vacuum cleaner. What is great about it,I can just sit down and read while that little busybody is doing its job. Haven't found anything negative yet and I have had it more than a year.

We have a 4000 sq ft home all cork flooring. If it wasn't for my gobot there are not enough hours in the day to keep it clean of pet hair, kid crumbs and bird feathers. It is scheduled to run every night at midnight. Cleans the main living area while I sleep. During the day I turn it loose in the bedrooms and bathrooms. Love it! Saving up for the scooba!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly, Thinks on it's own

Wasn't sure at first.

I wasn't sure how well this roomba would work out, so I borrowed my sister's roomba first. It seemed to get the carpets clean, as in no bits and pieces of paper, and all else on floor after it was done. So I bought one for myself. I still wasn't sure it did deep cleaning. I was more impressed when after running Bertha, and then running my upright with the dirt sensor, and almost immediatly, showing that the carpet was clean. I guess now I can take the upright upstairs and leave it there, and use roomba downstairs. I do have two dogs, and the hair from the golden retriever gets wound around the brushes, and need to be cleaned out almost every time it runs. But doing that is easier then getting out the upright. I am tempted to shave the dog. But I am very happy with it. I would not bother vacuuming everyday with out Bertha. And clean carpets do last longer.

Future Technology That's Finally Here!

I use our robot mostly in the living room, but occasionally in the master bedroom and kitchen/hallways. The unit literally does its own thing. starts, works, and returns home to charge with no assistance needed. There has been a couple of times the unit became stuck under the bed, but the rest of the times it does its job and comes back out. We have had this unit for 15 months. We have it set to vacuum every Sunday @ 8pm. We absolutely love our robot and thinking about getting a scooba for the tile floor. I've heard some of the cons listed and I disagree with most of them. I would and have recommended this unit to family and friends. Many of them who have witnessed the unit at work compliment it, we can easily visit and even watch TV. The robot works great without disturbing noises compared to regular vacuum cleaners, we can even talk on the phone with the unit working around us. We have a small dog, and he was first scared of the unit, but quickly got used to it. All we can say is good things about our robot. I guess the only complaint we can come up with is, it can't pick up toys, magazines, newspapers, and shoes before it starts doing its job.
