Kenny has been able to pick up the dead leaves off of the plants. I have many plants in my house and the dead leaves always seemed to be everywhere. Ever since I got Kenny, the leaves are gone. I have never been much of a cleaner, but all my friends say they should have bought me one of these years ago. My house looks great. As with everyone elses comments, if you can come up with a way to clean steps, I will be the first in line to buy. Also, Kenny does an amazing job in corners. I didn't think it would, but the corners of my rooms look great too.

I LOVE HER!!

OK, I've only had her a couple of days but I'm in love. I plugged her in and the next day we just pushed "clean" and off she went. She cleaned my living room, hallway, and kitchen before she came back for a charge. My livingroom is hardwood and my kitchen is lenoleum. I have two dogs, one being a Saint Bernard so I get a lot of pet hair and pine needles from outside. It was also the day after Christmas and we have three boys who opened presents so there were small pieces of paper on the floor also. I was amazed at how well she did. She even pushed my recycling box out of the way and was able to get under and between the kitchen chairs. I never in my wildest dreams would think that it would work this well. Today we tried her on carpet in both the kid's bedrooms. It did a beautiful job. We just put her in and closed the door. I've only had her for a couple of days so if something changes I'll add to this.

Had it for a year. Love it.

We've had Roomba for a year. She's so useful we've personified her. We COULD NOT live without her. She gets hung up every so often, but this in no way diminishes our love for her. Neither my wife nor I can believe that we are using a robot clean for us, but it's true. Every single day of the year she picks up so much dirt that it's hard to imagine living in our house had it not been for Roomba. This device is the most hasslefree, maintenance free, never fail, device I've ever seen.

Thinking of buying one for upstairs
on December 27, 2008

from Newport News, Va.
Great gadget...Did a lot of research on this Vacuum... didn't find a lot of negativity... So I bought one, glad I did.... We have a large downstairs and 3 pets and a lot of traffic coming in and out... We had to sweep almost everyday to keep up with the dirt and pet hair... But with Arnold, Roomba 560, he does it for us.... I found the light houses to be very useful, one is used especially near the cat and dog dishes and the water bowls, this restricts Roomba from entering the animals eating area knocking into the water dishes and spilling them... thumbs up on that! I've watched Arnold get into some very tight places around the furniture and eventually he finds his way out.... He's been places and cleaned where we couldn't before with our old Vacuum.... I know Arnold doesn't do the deep, deep cleaning as our Rainbow Vacuum does, but so far he's coming close, Arnold's main job in this house is to take care of the day to day sweeping that we use to have to do, Thanks Arnold! Arnold is now saving us time to do more things.....When I see Arnold heading back to his docking station for a recharge, I know what he's thinking,........ "I'LL BE BACK!"

My 560 ocassionally gets stuck under my couch(but not often), As long as i keep the pet hairs off the rollers & brushes it works wonderful. I don't know how I ever managed without it !!!! Without a doubt, one of the best christmas gifts ever !!!!!

Runs circles around my Electrolux!

I have been asking for a Roomba for two years now. DH finally let me get one, and I have to say before I ran it I thought the carpet needed shampooing... but I think it can at least go until spring! It sounds cliche, but it has given new life to my cheap construction grade capret! It fluffs it up better than a carpet rake, and it's shiney again like it was when it was new!!! I thought my Electrolux Harmony was doing a good job... well "I thought" says it all, huh?! This might be a good product for allergy sufferers. It really finds every last little hair... it found a lot of mine too! LOL! Yes it's pricey, but I really think it's worth the money if it helps with dust and pet allergies!

6 months = one side brush

from Porsgrunn, Norway
The thing that has anoyed me the most is that it gets stuck on my living room chairs. They have "L" shaped feet and the roomba gets on top of them and can't get off. Mostly this thing works like a charm. I don't have to vakuum so I'm happy.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Large Debris Bin, Reminds me of R2D2
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Sometimes doesn't dock, Won't clean sharp corners, Wont suck up dust bunnys
