Effective Cleaning Bot

Great product - finds all of the dog hair that we usually miss. Dogs barked at it the first time, but have ignored it since. Dark carpet was a problem until I covered up the cliff sensors with paper and tape. Just be sure to keep the door closed or use a lighthouse keep your little buddy from flying down the stairs. It's cool to come home and find the robot sitting at it's dock, the only indication that it ran is a full dust bin of dog hair! It handles the hardwood/carpet/tile transitions without a problem and cleans better than I expected. Bye bye upright vacuum!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room
Cons: Problems with dark carpet
I would recommend this to a friend!

An awesome machine

What noise? My dishwasher is louder. Perefectly acceptable level. This is a great product! Wish it would do windows though. You need to keep an eye on it the first couple times to see what hazards it encounters and try to eliminate or work around them. It kinda spreads/blows bird feathers around so you may need avoid that area when your bird is molting.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Does not do windows, Does not like feathers

Love it!!

I've had the Roomba for a few months now and I love it! We have one dog and it picks up the pet hair great. I'm always amazed at how much dirt it picks up. I run it every 2-3 days in each room. While it's not as noisy as a regular vacuum, I don't really want to be in the room when it's running. Frequently I'll start it when I leave for work or run it in a different part of the house. If you don't like to vacuum, but want to help your carpets last, this is the product for you.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck

Great for general clean up

It is much better than the earlier model I had for two plus years. This unit picked up some ribbon left behind by my daughter over the holidays, this caused the brush motor to burn out. Irobot sent me a new one at no charge. Their response was very quick.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Covers Entire Room
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Not great for corners

No Roomba No Pets! Not a Piece of Junk!

Have two Basset Hounds Baxter and Bailey. You would be amazed at what the Roomba picks up. I dump them every three days and clean filters. Have carpet, hardwood, tile, and concrete. Let the cleaning lady clean then run the Roomba it made a believer in her. She vacuums and cleans very well, but the Roomba picked up dirt after her. You can vacuum the garage floor and put the Roomba out there and still gets dirt. I am done chasing dirt. I have turned that job over to the Roomba.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

So glad that we got the iRobot

It is great, just to put it down in a room, set the area to be cleaned and forget it. We are amazed and delighted at the amount of dirt that it picks up. It is hard for me to believe, when I see it going around the island in my kitchen. It comes to the corner and makes the turn and keeps going.

Snacks on oriental rugs for lunch
on February 19, 2009
Posted by: docgobbler
from Gainesville, Florida
This was may Christmas present as I'm the vacuum man. I like that it relieves me of the upright vacuum but have found that it's eating the corners of my wife's oriental rugs on our hardwood floors...not making us happy. I've had to place obstacles there so it will avoid the corners. It also, sometimes,doesn't seem to know where to go with the lighhouse. It will clean a room, go by the lighthouse and then, after cleaning the next room go back to the one it already finished rather than continuing on to the next room. Over all I'm happy, but it would be a lot better product if it had a longer working time and, after recharging before finishing a room, it could remember where to go next rather than just beginning all over again. Because it wants to eat the rugs it only gets 3 stars.
Pros: Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin
Cons: Frequent Maintenance, Loses Charge Quickly
