I love my new bot!

I just got my new robot and it works great! My carpets look wonderful and the fact that it goes under furniture is amazing. The only thing that is a downfall is that my dog has it out for the robot. He tries to attack it so I am leary of scheduling it to run when I am not home. Otherwise, I love it!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation
Cons: Can Get Stuck
I would recommend this to a friend!

A new level of pure laziness!!!

I am a total geek, and I absolutely love this little "SyNthetic" life-form. It cleans surprisingly well for how small it acutally is and I work all of the time so being able to set it's cleaning schedule and walk away is so very nice. I don't ever have to take time out of my busy schedule to vacuum, ever again!!! I can set the little robot to vacuum on any specific date/time and I do not have to worry about it. Best of all, when I get back home the little robot finds it's "home" charging base to recharge itself and my home has been cleaned without me really doing much of anything. A new level of pure laziness!!!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Long Run Time

Otto came to us a few weeks ago and to tell you the truth, I almost feel sorry for him. He runs EVERY day on at least 1 room, sometimes 2 or 3 in a run. He has to pick up so much pet hair that it has literally melted the brushes (on a single run). But still he trudges on. Even seems to be getting better and picking up more as time goes by. If he lasts a year, I will be shocked, but if so, I will be buying several more!! Heck, 6 months would be a pleasant surprise.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly

Received as Christmas gift from our son. Great gift.Excellant machine. Does miss the corners a bit but not a big deal. We run it everyday whcih helps us a great deal in up keep of home. Unit is a little loud but no more then a normal vacuum. As dumb as this sounds it is like you want to talk to it. Perhaps future units can have voice command?

Love It!!!

My "other half" had robot vacuum cleaner on her Christmas list. Appliances are not something you get a woman as a gift, but that's what she wanted. Am I ever GLAD!!! She has not had to do anything with it because I'm consumed with it. It doesn't save me any time because I'm always watching (and marveling) how it works. Not only does it do a great job, but it is so very entertaining. The cat (Special Ed) and I try to figure out its random pattern. Our schedules are such that we didn't use the upright as we should. With the cat, there were always dust rabbits everywhere...not the case anymore. Our 560 goes about its chore to (almost) perfection. Most of our floors are hardwood with area rugs. The side brush has a way of getting under the edge of the rugs causing it to have a hard time climbing onto the rug. Eventually, it figures how to clean it. One other thing that keeps ours from being perfect. Several times, in about the same place, it has stopped running. When I push the clean button, the voice tells me to check and clean the "cliff sensors". We don't have steps for it to fall down, so I wish I could override those sensors. All in all, we're extremely happy with our robot. I just hope it can last a long time. And won't it be wonderful when Irobot develops a furniture dusting machine?!?!?

Heck of a product! Vacuuming under the chairs, under the sofa - Sweet! I hate moving furniture; I didn't just have dust bunnies; I had dust 'killer rabbits'! Right after purchase my Roomba developed a 'clunk'; turns out I did not realize the pronged yellow bearing on each of the the brushes was removable - after cleaning the accumulated fuzz and hair beneath the bearing, I reinstalled and presto! No clunk. Apparently the fuzz was thick enough to extend the length of the flexible brush and allow it to pop it out of the guide as it rotated producing the "clunk". I'm a happy camper now.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Long Run Time
Cons: Frequent Maintenance, Intimidates my dog
