Summary: If you have indoor pets, you can't be without this machine!!!!
Comment: I bought the Rhoomba strictly to clean up pet hair from my 2 dogs and 1 cat that stay indoors. I have been very pleasantly surprised. It works like a charm on my hard floors while my family and I are away and I can spend the time I'm home working on other things (or playing). Great product!

Summary: I have never had such a clean house
Comment: I was leary but the reviews were so good. Now roomba is a part of the family. My husband turns the light on for it to "see" while it is cleaning, the 15 year old siamese gives it the evil eye, the 6 year old grandson thanks it for cleaning up his room and I have stopped being worried that it will fall off the edge of the loft (it usually goes right up to the edge then veers but if it does begin to go over then its foot catches it while it cries for Mom. It is amazing how much dirt it picks up. It goes in all the nooks and crannies that I avoid and of course it goes under the bed and other furniture. And it is soooo easy. If you have oriental rugs then make sure the fringe is tucked under.

Summary: Roomba Cleans!!!
Comment: This is my second purchase of a Roomba. I bought one when they first came out, and the poor thing finally died of old age.
This model is so much better!!
I have mostly ceramic and wood floors, and three cats!! After I swept and mopped my ceramic, I turned Roomba loose on a presumably clean floor. His little dustbin had debri after an hour. This is dirt I missed with my broom and mop.
I run Roomba every day, and my house is much cleaner, cat hair is picked up, and my life is easier.

Summary: This IS the droid you are looking for!
Comment: Okay, sorry for the Star Wars pun in the title of this review.... I purchased the Remanufactured iRobot Roomba about a year ago, I wanted to give it this long before writing a review because I wanted to be as objective as I could be. Firstly, let me make clear that the iRobot does have it's limitations - It can't clean stairs to begin with and although it does do a great job at trying to clean square corners within the room, it doesn't always pick up something that might be lodged right in there. But on reflection, my upright cleaner had the same problem with corners and was not fun to use cleaning stairs either... I suppose what I want to say is no machine is quite perfect. That said, the Roomba does a simply fantastic job in my home.

I have a mainly one level home that has a combination of both ceramic tile and carpet flooring, the Roomba manages to clean up both surfaces equally well. In the last year I've had a number of new carpets fitted and the Roomba was able to cope wonderfully with the frankly massive amount of lint associated with brand new carpets. Best of all it releases me from this mind numbing cleaning task so I can focus on the other things around the home that need to be done.

Thus far I have experienced no operating problems, the battery charge has remained great and by following the maintenance advice regarding the cleaning of brushes etc. I can honestly say the Roomba continues to perform really well - very much exceeding what I expected when I bought the product.

If I were to suggest any refinements to the design at all then it would not be to the robot, rather I would like to see the base station use power more intelligently, perhaps going into a sleep mode and not drawing electricity after the Roomba has recharged.... but it's a minor thing really.

I allowed a couple of friends who have two children under four years to borrow my Roomba for a few days to see how practical it would be for their more conventional multi-story home. Within a week my Robot was returned to me because my friends had purchased their own. They tell me that the children love the Roomba and follow it around fascinated when it's operating and whooping with glee when it turns around and heads towards them! (Whereas they were always a bit afraid of the more noisy upright Vacuum cleaner).

In summary the Roomba isn't perfect but it is incredibly practical, inexpensive for what you are getting and above all useful.

Summary: Time saver
Comment: I was weary about buying a remanufactured roomba, but I'm so glad I did. I have two dogs at home that shed like crazy, I just schedule the roomba to run during the day when I'm at work and when I come home Blue (that's his name) is back on his base and ready to be emptied, what a time saver, I was sweeping two times a day before just to keep the floors clean. I would definitely recommend the roomba to anyone with pets.
