Usually " Practical" Holiday gifts aren't the best.. but this one was the exception to the rule. I have read all of the cons in other reviews about Roombas needing extra maintenance..I don't agree that it needs extra or an inordinate amount of maintenance.. it does need routine maintenance. Empty the dust bin every other time it is used and I clean it once every couple of weeks in my shop with low pressure compressed air. Great Product!!
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Cleans lint from carpet, Cleans thoroughly, Cleans under the bed, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Large Debris Bin
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Won't wash dishes

Wife loves our Roomba

Dec 24th, What do I do. Have to buy something special for the wife. The pressure is on to get her an unusual gift. While shopping I saw the Roomba and decided to go for it. What a hit... Wife loves "her" Roomba and uses it quite often. Works great. When my wife says it works great then this is the ultimate test as she used to vacuum the house at least twice a week and now I don't think she has used the vacuum since Christmas and its the middle of January. Now our wish list is a Roomba for the garage and a Scooba and another Roomba for the basement. A big thumbs up to irobot. (PS: My life is easier as I have not had to vacuum twice a week.)

Greatest Christmas Present Ever

I was amazed. I would have never believed this little machine could do such a great job. My daughter said she felt so bad when I was struggling with the vacuum cleaner, so, she got a Roomba for me. Now I just set it, and forget it. Cleaning him out is no big deal, it's easy. Roomby also keeps the cats busy, they think he is a toy.
Pros: Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Covers Entire Room, Deep Cleaning Ability, Hassle Free Operation, Large Debris Bin, Long Run Time, My cats play with Roomby, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs

Love my first robot

Rosie gets all the dirt that would get stirred up and then settle back onto the floors when I swept. I shouldn't admit this, but I haven't swept since I started running it last week. The floors just feel so clean that it has seemed unnecessary. It does take awhile to run through the house, but it docks itself when it needs to recharge and is ready to clean some more in just a few hours. I love Rosie.
