The Roomba Discovery is a great asset to any home. I have been using one for over 4 years and every time I empty the dirt bin am amazed at how much dirt, dust and hair is in there.
You will have to sweep the dirt away from the walls and corners periodically as it doesn't hug the walls tightly and can't...

- The Roomba does not have much suction and therefore does not pick up dust or pet hair nearly as well as we expected.
- The Roomba does not work in rooms that have a lot of furniture or furniture that is not all up against the wall.

I have 2 cats, a dog and a parrot. I am forever cleaning up fur and feather mess so I was pleasently surprised when I placed my roomba on the floor and turned it on. I left for work and came home to a clean floor!
The unit is very light weight, about 5 pounds I believe. You have to charge the battery for about 7 hours, which I do over night. You have to make sure throw rugs and very tiny toys, like the size of a... review »

My boyfriend gave me the Roomba Scheduler as a housewarming present 18 months ago, to help keep clean the hardwood floors throughout my home. I was kind of skeptical at first, but this is the best cleaning tool out there! I can leave my home knowing that when I return the floors will be shining once again. It gets into to tightest areas and under furniture that my vacuum can't and it has an edge tool already attached. Now I can't imagine living without it. Next, I plan to buy the Scooba robot, which washes floors!
I love, love, love this vacuum. We recently adopted a 75 pound long haired German Shepard and he sheds like crazy. My kids were covered in dog hair all the time and I was spending a fortune on tape rollers to remove the hair. I did not have time to vacuum my entire house on a daily basis (who does). We thought let's give the roomba a try but heard so many mixed reviews we were afraid to make the investment. Finally, we couldn't take it anymore and broke down and purchased it. WOW!!! No more hairy kids. Now if you are looking for a vacuum that cleans that has outstanding performance...

i was sweeping our hardwood floors daily so my husband bought me this roomba....i love it! just push a button and it does all the work. the only issue i had was when it would go into our kitchen and get stick under the counters. i simply placed the virtual wall in my kitchen and problem solved! it does a fantastic job (better than i could with a broom and dustpan). when it is finished, it even goes back to the docking station. i simply empty the contents at the end of every day. i am able to program it to clean when i am away if i deisre. can't say enough about this vacuum.
I love it because it keeps my floors clean. I can't live without it because everyday after breakfast, I turn it on and my 1 year old chases it around the house while my 2 year old goes around picking up toys so "Mommy's Woomba won't get it".
I've never had any problems with it at all. I don't mind cleaning it everytime, all you do is dump it out over the garbage can and clean out the brushes once in a while. I still have to use my old vacuum once in a while and I can't believe I used to have to do the whole house like that! Ugh, vacuuming is, like, so barbaric!
But there are some caveats:
1. Long hair get wrapped up in the rotary brush. Cleaning is a hassle - I have to do that every time I use it for an extended period of time.
2. Battery life does dissipate after using it for 2+ years.
I purchased an iRobot Discovery about 5 years ago-today cannot live with out it.
Hubby and I have actually grown to find it indispensable- her name is Helga
She's on her last legs and needs to be replaced. One thing to keep in mind is that these appliances are not vaccuums they are actually sweeps. Make sure that you always have 'god' batteries in the virtual walls as they will prevent iRobot from making stair 'tumbles' and to go where it isn't supposed to. Wish the price would come down though.
