I LOVE MY ROOMBA 560. I WANT ANOTHER ONE

I ADORE MY ROOMBA!! It cleans while I am doing something else. We have a Husky dog that sheds lots of white hair. I have to clean the kitchen every day to pick all those hairs. It does a wonderful job all I have to do afterwords is mop. I am so happy with this product that I tell everyone at work How wonder it is. The only thing that could improve a little is the side brush. The screw that hold the brush gets worn off. I guess what can be done to prevent that; is that when replacing the brush after cleaning it. Do not screw it too tight.. I LOVE IT!!!

From the moment we charged the unit, it cleaned my living room, kitchen and dining room. I used to sweep everyday because of all the pet hairs and crumbs from my kids. Now I schedule Roby, and come home to clean carpets and floors. Amazing, either someone lazy created this or a genius. I can see the cobwebs building up on my Dyson now.

Great machine - we really depend on it.

This machine is a time saver. It does an excellent job. I push the go button and head to the barn. When I get back, the rooms are clean, really noticeably clean. We have mostly hardwood floors and some short pile area rugs. Roomba cleans both. Roomba is a must if you have pets. It picks up pet hair that you can't see. I clean roomba after every cleaning so it is ready to go. It does require cleaning between use, at least around our house, but I would rather spend the time cleaning roomba's brushes than I would pushing a vaccum cleaner around. I use the big vacuum cleaner to deep clean the rugs about once a week... roomba handles the daily chores. I would recommend roomba to anyone. He is great.

Our family loves Roomba!

Right before my first Roomba use, I used my expensive other vac. Then I set Roomba loose on the floor that was supposedly clean. I could not believe the stuff it pulled out of the carpet! I totally love the Roomba. I can't program it to run when we are not home since I have two teenagers who will never learn to pick up after themselves (picture showlaces in the Roomba - I've seen it drag shoes around). The good part is I can run it while I do other chores around the house and I feel like I am getting twice as much done, very gratifying. As an added bonus we really enjoy watching our dog run from the Roomba that he believes is chasing him!

I love this little guy

I have only just purchased a Roomba 560 and I am thrilled with it. It cleans much more efficiently than I had anticipated and even my very sceptical partner is impressed. Our two cats are fascinated by it, but, because it is quiter than our regular vacuum cleaner it doesn't frighten tham so much. The brushes can get snarled up with fluff and hair, but they are easy to clean. However, I find myself talking to it and am beginning to doubt my sanity!! It's so cute! I love being able to schedule it to clean early in the morning so we get up to a clean house. I just hope it proves reliable.

"Reena" the vaccum cleana!

Posted by: Notagoddess
from New Port Richey, Florida
I can't believe how much dirt "Reena" vaccums up everytime she runs, even when it is every other day sometimes, how does she do it? How could I have thought my carpets were clean before, when I did a once or even twice a week vaccuming! The only "down side" to having Reena is you become totally dependent on her, and if anything needs replaced or repaired on her it is a LONG WAIT to have her back running doing a great job!

I Purchased my Roomba 560 ten days ago and i was so satisfied with the product that immediately started looking foward to add a Scooba to my arsenal. Roomba really does what iRobot promised. It has excellent suction power and it doesn't spit dirt back on the floor, like other small good-looking vacuums. It even picks up large debris! Although, It misses spots here and there, but that's not a big deal. Even people leave spots behind, while doing this job. I usually give the room final touches using the "spot" function. Roomba even sweeps along the walls! But it could be better with corners. The side brush is just not long enough to reach them. Seriously.That's something for iRobot to think about. Anyway, Roomba does what no other vacuum does. Works by itself, which makes it a great choice. And the virtual walls/lighthouses are very helpful. Unfortunately, they require batteries, which is a little bit "1980's", for a product so advanced. iRobot should come up with a rechargeable version of those babes. However, Roomba tends not to clean nearby the lighthouse. That's a flaw. It just doesn't! After the job is done, cleaning up the robot is very simple. Roomba's clever design allows me to remove parts to be cleaned up and snap them back easily. I was very impressed when i first saw the amount of dirt in the debris bin!!! Loved it. Can't wait to try the scheduling funcion...
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time
