The little cleaner that COULD
on February 13, 2008

from Campbell River, Canada
This little guy is just amazing. The amount out dirt and hair it picked up in the first 30 mins was just mind blowing. Ive only had it for a few days and everyone in my house is just amazed at how it can navigate and negotiate the terrain. Definitely the neatest gadget ive ever owned.

My New Favorite Gadget

I love my new Roomba. It does a great job picking up the day-to-day dirt that gets tracked in. We schedule for him to start cleaning just as we're ready to leave the house to go to work. It's nice to come home to clean floors and carpets. We have 2 short-haired pointers and Ziggy picks up alot of pet hair. The dogs stand on the stairs (safe and out of the way) while Ziggy does the cleaning!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, On Board Scheduling, Pet Friendly

I BROKE THE RULES AND LIVED ANYWAY
on February 5, 2008

I broke all the rules of gift-giving for your wife and got her the 560 for Christmas. She is a "neat-freak" and she loves the iRobot!We have hardwood floors all over and it does a great job. I was surprised at how well it cleaned our carpet in the few spots we have it. We only wish it could handle our stairs...For some reason, three of the arms on our side brush have broken off (probably got stuck on an area carpet or something similar), but iRobot service is sending out three new ones, under warranty. Sweet. Also, it occasionally gets stuck on a power cord (so we generally lift them up).I have used my air compressor to blow out the unit and to clean the filter after every few uses. This is very effective and I expect that my filters will last a long time this way. I love the way the unit disassembles so that cleaning is a snap. We have four females with long blonde hair, so that is what I spend the most time cleaning off the brushes and from around the spinning mechanisms. Not too bad. Probably 15 minutes for a complete cleaning.So, no real complaints and worth every penny.[$]Just do it. She'll love it.

Highly recommend

Does a great job of cleaning everywhere it can get to, especially beneath beds, dressers and cabinets. It has never got stuck and is not noisy. Battery life is good and recharges quickly. Would recommend Roombas to everyone. I enjoy watching it doing its sweeping.

Great product--does a great job.

I'm a college student and so there are people in and out all the time. We named the robot Lafawnduh, from Napoleon Dynamite, and she does a great job at cleaning even when I'm not home. It's nice to come home to carpet that looks clean and isn't dirty with the day-to-day stuff that gets tracked in the house. I use it to clean the kichen and bathroom floors before I mop, and it picks up more debris than I could pick up with just sweeping. The only problem that I've had is that my curtains touch the floor and one time the side-brush got wrapped up in the curtain... it didn't pull them down, and the robot got untangled, but I could see how that might be a mess. It's only happened once, though, so I've seen no other problems with it getting stuck or getting trapped! All in all, it's a great value...

One less chore to do

The Roomba is a great thing to have. I love the way I can schedule cleanings. The one complaint I have is about the side brush. I have been using the Roomba for three weeks and already a couple of the side brush arms have broken off.

This is the greatest gift I have ever received! I absolutely love it!! It makes my floors look like they were buffed. My 5 little doggies ignore it completely, which is WONDERFUL. They bark terribly at my regular vacuum cleaner, which I am now retiring forever. Thank you so much for this product. I am looking forward to getting the floor cleaner model next year for Christmas. EXCELLENT and loving it!!
