iRobot Roomba 550 Bagless Robotic Vacuum Reviews

I was so excited when I got my Roomba:  "Wall-E" did just what he was supposed to do every day.  He picked up dog hair and kid crumbs an saved me lots of time.  I would leave in the morning, he would work while I was gone, then he'd be back in his dock.  My kids are afraid of the vacuum, but get woken up by it if I try why they're napping, so this was the perfect solution for our family.  After about 3 months,though, one thing after another went wrong with our Roomba: brushes stopped spinning, the lighthoused malfunctioned, the battery wouldn't hold a charge, etc.  I wanted to exchange it...

Great conversation starter. Poor vacuum for our home. I'm a stay-at-home Mom with a toddler and I found this vacuum was a pain to have to deal with every other day, had to constantly monitor it as it would get stuck in various spots and then avoid "debris" that I really NEEDED vacuumed up. After a few weeks, it has terrible "battle scars" from running into every piece of furntiure I own over and over and over...I won't even mention the affect on said pieces. But for me the most frustrating issue is the hair (mainly mine and my 7 year olds long hair) caught in the gears so I have to literally cut...

The upper level of our home is almost entirely dark laminate flooring. Dush often settles on the surface making it look unappealing. after growing tired of the endless sweeping and moping, I purchased a Roomba. I couldn't be more pleased with its performance. I have it scheduled to run daily so my floors are always crumb and dust free. What a time saver. The only thing I have to remember to do is empty the dust bin compartment every few days. It is amazing how much debris this little thing picks up daily. Makes me wonder why I hadn't purchased it sooner, because I for sure didn't sweep daily (though...

1. The iRobot Roomba works all by itself and recharges while we sleep.
2. We just have to block off doorways to the room needing cleaning and then push the button on the Roomba and off it goes to do its job.
3. It stops automatically...

The roomba is an excellent help to keep my house clean. It vacuums the house while I am doing the ironing or other house chores.

We use it twice a week to keep our appartement clean. It does a great job as long as you don't give it to much surface to clean in one time. Use the lighthouse to make the surface smaller and the chance is bigger it cleans every squared inch.

I cann't miss it any more!

The only small disadvantage is that it does not clean the edges. But than again a regular vacuum cleaner can not reach the edges also very well.

I love my Roomba! We got it as a gift - as more of a joke rather than a functioning vacuum cleaner. But it cleans far better than my standard, pretty pricey upright vacuum!  I had just cleaned our carpets with my other vacuum the first time we tried out the Roomba and watched it spin around in circles.  It picked up TONS of dirt when I thought my floors were pretty clean! I was sold. The best part is we schedule it to vacuum at night while we are sleeping, so every morning I wake up to a clean house. I still use my other vacuum for things the Roomba can't reach (basically anything requiring...
