I absolutely could not live without my Roomba. I have 3 cats and a dog and a 7 year old so upkeep on hair and crumbs is a must for me. Usually I clean up the dishes after breakfast and then push the button to start this baby up and it picks up all the crumbs, hair, etc while I go do something else. Then it returns back to the charger when done and recharges itself. This is well worth the money. I will always own one of these, it is fantastic!!! Maneuverability This baby can go almost anywhere! It goes under my bed and my coffee tables and sofas When I do move my furniture to vacuum underneath it, there isn't so much cat hair that I could make another cat out of it, like there used to be before Roomba came into my life. Ease of Maintenance This is not hard to take care of, but does require a little maintenance to keep it going. Obviously you have to empty out the collection container after use. You also need to take the brushes off (very easy to do, they are meant to come in and out in a regular basis) and clean those with the special tool they give you. Doing all of this takes about 2 minutes, pop everything back in and charge it up for its next use. Suction Performance If you use this on a daily basis on your floors, this can keep up quite nicely. I have a Dyson that I use once a week and still pick up hair with that, but not nearly as much. Plus I have 3 cats and a big dog so there is always hair to be picked up off the floor. Versatility This goes from hardwood to tile to laminate to carpet with ease. I use it on every type of flooring in my house. Design Looks sleek, I get a lot of comments and questions about it. Durability So far, mine is holding up great!

I am actually reviewing the IRobot Roomba 770...a newer version and I lOVE IT!! It is so wonderful to have this thing at our home. Maneuverability I can work it's way out of any problem without issue. It has found it's way from around cords, shoes, toys, doors, etc.... If it is in the way...no problem for the Roomba 770 Ease of Maintenance so far, there hasn't been much work to be done on it. We clean the filters and program it and off it goes. We empty the reservoir when it tells us its full and that is it. Suction Performance Every time I empty the canister, it is full of minute dirt that shocks me. Pet and human hair do not pose a problem for it and I am always happy to see my floor clean. Versatility Very versatile in our home considering that there is so much stuff on the floors with a 3 year old and 6 animals around. No complaints. Design I couldn't think of a better designs so this one is excellent in my book. The rounded corners with bumpers is an excellent idea for the geometry of most homes. Durability No problems yet. I hope we don't have any but, if we do, we will warranty it and keep going. I will never be without one of these again.

My boyfriend recommended I try the Roomba and eventually I decided to give it a shot. I love setting it to run when I leave the house and come back and find my house all vacuumed and cleaned! It feels like a housekeeper has been there while I was away :) Maneuverability This little vacuum seems to fit in anywhere. The only thing I have to pre-plan for is making sure objects are off the floor before I let it do it's thing, otherwise it will obstruct the vacuuming. Also, my dog isn't afraid of it and likes to lay in the middle of the floor even while it's running. It can be ineffective when the vacuum begins to consider your dog a wall it has to vacuum around. Ease of Maintenance It's pretty easy to maintain. I'd just empty the trap and clean the brushes after every run, rather than after every 3 runs. Suction Performance Seems to do a terrific job! Versatility It's great. I can plunk it down just about anywhere and it gets the job done. Design Great design. Unlike other robot vacuums, I really like the circular shape of this vacuum. I don't worry about it knocking over something or accidentally nicking something. Durability Seems to be holding up to a lot of use!

I used the roomba primarily for tiled floors as it tends to get stuck or not work too well on carpet. It's great for a quick cleaning but it does not pick up everything if you are going for a deep clean. Another drawback is having to keep track of it especially when you want to prevent it from going onto carpet or flying down the stairs. It also tends to circle the same areas so it takes a while for all areas to be cleaned.

Love our Roomba. We have 2 shorthair dogs but it picks up lots of dirt and hair every day. Other then cleaning it good weekly and dumping the bin daily it is pretty much maintenance free. Maneuverability Will hang up occasionally but you learn how to move things around. Ease of Maintenance Takes awhile to clean weekly if thread or strings get wrapped around brushes. Suction Performance It is amazing how much it picks up every day. We have all tile and it picks up stuff we couldn't even see. Versatility It will jump up on carpets and clean them also. Design It has only one flaw that I see. Dirt and hair can get up into the gears. When this happens you have to take 6 screws out to clean them. Durability I know people that have had them last for many years.

I have an 80lb husky, golden retriever mix. And as you might imagine, she has a lot of fur. Problem is, it seemed no matter how often I vacuumed, I just couldn't keep up. Enter: the Roomba 570. This model Roomba has a scheduling feature that allows you to set a start time for every day of the week. It's super handy. I just set it at I time I know I'll be away from the house and the Roomba takes care of the rest. Now the house looks great and I no longer feel like a slave to the vacuum. I definitely recommend it.

I have had mine for 2 1/2 years. It works great. With updaged green CHM and Aerovac bin, it cleans my tile and carpeted floors spotless. I have mine clean three large rooms trasissionning from room to room then returns to base. You do have to empty the bin after every carpet cleaning becuase it does such a good job picking up dog hair. The brushes only need inspecting and cleaned as necessary. It takes to two minutes to maintain. 2 minutes vs. 1 hour of manual vacuuming is a no brainer.

What I really like about the Roomba is that it runs by itself all over the place and cleans without me having to push it around like a traditional vacuum. Also I like that the Roomba doesn't fall off edges if you place it on a surface, like stairs or a table. It's great for cleaning day-to-day or for quick clean ups from time to time. It fits under a lot of furniture, and it's fun to watch it scuttle around sucking up dust and bits of trash. The downside, however, is that it is pretty expensive. Also, while it does run along the edge, it doesn't seem to get the edges of my place very well. In addition, it is not perfect about navigating around tables and chairs and other items with legs, it makes a lot of noise when banging into the edges while trying to get around them. Also, because of that, one has to keep the floor free of items except large things like furniture. It has tripped up many times on stray items on the ground, such as shoes and wires.

i recieved the irobot vaccum from my dad. I thought I would really enjoy the vaccum, but I was wrong. The one i recieved kept running into the walls and made a lot of strange noises. After i used it the first time, I did not feel safe leaving the room while it was working. IT would not pick up everythimg. It left traces of pet hair, which is why i wanted the irobot in the first place. It will get stck on socks if you are not wtaching it like a hawk. It also gets stcuk on tv wires when it tries to go behind the tv. It also gets stcuk on the frills on the end of rugs if you are not watching, You constantly have to empty it because it does not hold much. You still have to sweep to keep the floor ppicked up because it does not pick up everything like you think it will. i would much rather have a regular vaccum cleaner than the urobot because i regular vaccum cleaner cna pick up more than the irobot.
