The Roomba ranks up there with the microwave and centeral heat and A/C in my book as one of the best inventions of the 20th century. I have a dog and multiple cats so a lot of dirt gets tracked in the house and I really don't like to vaccume. A friend purchased a Roomba back in December, I purchased on on his recommendation a few weeks later. One of my neighbors borrowed mine for an afternoon to test it out and she ended up buying one. How did we ever live without this thing? One extra bonus is that not only are the floors cleaner but I also have to dust less. It doesn't get much better!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

Max is amazing he cleans the floors real good! It's unbelieveable how much dirt and hair is on the filter and in the bin everyday! My floors are always clean and the best part is he does it before I get home from work! All I have to do is clean the brushes and the filter. The only problem I face is that I have two dark burgandy and black surface rugs he will not go on them he thinks they are a cliff and avoids them altogether. The filters last a long time and can be cleaned by running water through them and then thuroughly dried before being put back in. My cats love to spy on him and it's like he's part of the family!

Love My Roomba!

I love my Roomba! Got it for my birthday in December, and it has run every day (maybe more than once a day if I bring it upstairs) since. It is so nice to come in from work and see the floors clean. It does a great job, however I think of it as more of a sweeper than a deep cleaning vacuum. We have a Bernese Mountain Dog (which sheds mightily) and a silky terrier (which doesn't shed) and the hair and dirt were EVERYWHERE in my house before I got Mildred. There is a marked improvement in the level of pet hair and dirt on the floors since she has been making the daily rounds. And boy can I tell if she stopped because her brushes were dirty, or got stuck somewhere. Maybe I'll buy a pet version and move this one upstairs. I've got my eye on a Scooba too! I recommend them to anyone who will listen! Thanks for a great product.

roomie works

Roomie runs like a champ. I can (safely) say I bought a vacuum for my wife for her birthday. She loves it. Of course I expect really shiny things for my birthday but oh well. She loves Roomie (her name for it). I brought it home after doing some web research and realizing these guys also build some of the military robots I used in my job in Iraq. They respond to what we needed. I figured if what I used in Iraq is the same they made into the home models as well then what the heck. The pros for Roomie is it will find things you did not realize are on your floor (dirt,string,DOG HAIR) really no kidding. Dog hair is a killer for any dog owner. Buy a Roomba now if you are a dog owner. CONS: Roomie does not like messy people. My 6 yr old daughter is learning to pick up after herself by way of clothes on the floor. (not really a con I guess). The fine hairs and other things like to wrap themselves around Roomies brush wheels. I have found to use a drill bit to extract the rolled hair from the wheels(by hand of course).
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly, Stuff you will not get

We use Robbie at least five times a week and sometimes on Saturdays too. What a joy after taking down Christmas to let Robbie vacuum up all those green tree needles! Our daughter was skeptical at first and now she uses Robbie in her room too! Great little helper for the working woman.
