Summary: Rosie the little robot that could
Comment: My parents love the Roomba vacuum I got for my father on Father's day. They named it Rosie after the robot on the Jetsons. They wow all their friends with it. Oh, and it cleans the floor pretty well too. My father is actually cleaning the house, and he's enjoying it. The scheduler is a dream, and promptly at 8 am, Rosie goes to work. It makes me want to buy a scheduler for my roomba.

Summary: Stop thinking about it and BUY IT!!!
Comment: It has been two weeks and the novelty hasn't worn off yet!

First off let me say that if you expect perfection out of the box, look elsewhere. It is a machine and is a bit quirky. That being said, I LOVE this thing.

I have a large family room with dark green carpet. We mistakenly thought that the dark color would hide everything. Wrong! It shows every little bit of lint or pet hair and there is alot of that around here. BR (Before Roomba) I was never satisfied with how this room looked as the carpet really needed daily maintenance to look even somewhat acceptable. I dragged out my dyson every couple of days tried to get the carpet to look better. But I just didn't have the time for daily vaccuming. But now I do!!! Now I have the roomba go off every night at midnight (I move the dog bed and a few things off the floor before going to bed) and every morning I wake up to an amazingly clean carpet. The carpet fibers are actually lifted up and not crushed anymore after two weeks of daily roomba-ing. I have found that the roomba does not always make it back to his base and one morning I found him stuck under a coffee table. But, all and all, I couldn't be happier.

I have been running this thing 3x daily since it arrived and on the weekend I was running it 5x daily. I am continually amazed at how much it picks up. Must be from going under all that furniture.

Expect to clean the brush and roller bar frequently. Also, the dust bin fills up fast. They recommend emptying it every 3 uses, but I empty it after every use.

Oh - it does not leave perfect vaccum marks in the carpet like a maid. But it does get the job done. I have found that I don't notice the marks as much now, probably because after repeated use in every room, my carpet fibers are no longer crushed.

The absolute best home purchase I have ever made. It spends an hour in an average sized room. When was the last time you ran your vaccum for an hour in one room?

I have also added a scooba to my collection. I already had a spot-bot (love it for pet messes) and on Sunday I had all 3 running at once. My 18 yr old son thinks it is a scream that I have 3 robots cleaining the house at once. I told him that it will be much better when I get 2 more roombas (one for each level of the house) and a dirt dog for the garage.

Seriously, you should get this. The price dropped from $179 to $149 (amazon refunded my $30) and now there is even the option to buy a service agreement.

Summary: Unexpectedly Good
Comment: I bought the Roomba for my husband, who is greatly bothered by the dog hair and birdseed mess we have all over the floor in the dining and living rooms. He also loves gadgets.

The first time we ran Roomba, it got clogged up and stopped running before it got back to its base. My husband cleaned it out really good, vacuumed the floors with the old vacuum cleaner so we would have less accumulation (assuming a week's worth was too much for it to deal with), and set Roomba to work in the middle of the night every night.

It works great! We have to remember to empty it daily, but it is very good at maintaining a clean floor for us and we never even hear it running.

Summary: money well spent and Im cheap
Comment: I love my robot NOW. The paperwork say let charge for 3 hrs you need to charge for 24. the first 3-5 times you have to pay attention to where it gets stuck,like under my kitchen chairs, it waistes time trying to get out& the battery dies, Now I move my chairs. it also died out before it found its way back to the charger now its great.It is alittle loud but I set the timer and no cat hair when I come home. Thats what sold me was the reviews of it picking up lots of animal hair.And it does work great I have two monster cats and there was hair everywhere.My friend also bought one a different model she had an issue with it she called customer service they were great sent her out what she needed to fix it and is loving it as much as I am. Thanks
