Customer Reviews

Great product!
I was lucky. I bought this for about a third of what it is going for now. It came with the dock, 2 virtual walls, extra filters, wall hanging thing, and a battery. I had to charge my battery for 72 hours to get it to work longer than a half hour, but now it works fine. Additionally, because I wrote Roomba to complain, they are sending me another battery, too. They have excellent customer service.

I have wanted one of these for quite a while, but couldn't justify the cost of purchasing it. I assumed (correctly, as it turns out), that it would probably be just as fast to use my regular vacuum as it would be to use this one. I actually LIKE cords and am not too fond of cordless, rechargeable appliances although I realize that they do come in handy.

I have seen so many people talk about why they purchased this, but nobody's mentioned the reason I did and why I am so glad I did. We have a huge heavy wooden antique bed. It's huge. And, it's so heavy that it cannot be moved. I can't gauge weight really well, but this thing weighs a ton. And, I cannot get under it to vacuum it at all. I purchased a smaller vacuum that had a handle that moved all the way to the floor thinking that this would work and I'd be able to get under there, but it didn't have strong suction, and I couldn't get the cat fur and dust removed. I have combed the carpet with my fingers as far as I could reach, but I knew there was a large area in the center that had never been vacuumed (yuck!). So, I capitulated and finally bought the Roomba.

After ensuring that the roomba would have a free rein in my room (removing all cords, pulling out side tables, etc.), I let the vacuum do its thing. And, it did! It cleaned my room for about 2 hours-- much of it, I'm sure, vacuuming under my bed. And, gosh, the amount of hair and fur it picked up was truly embarrassing. To think we were breathing some of that! Anyways, my carpet seemed the cleanest its been in years. I am so incredibly impressed with this vacuum cleaner.

I've used the Roomba elsewhere, too, but for most areas, I really prefer the regular vacuum. Not because it's better, mind you, but because it's just easier-- I don't have to remove all the cords, set up the virtual walls, or anything-- I can just vacuum. But, still, if I continue to use this only in my bedroom, it will have been worth the purchase cost.

Fantastic
This is not something I normally do. I saw this advertised on shopping chanel, thought Oh Yeah, did some research, and thought OK I'll try, probably another gadget that will go in the cupboard, I've alot of those, but No I use it every day. Battery life is not wonderful really need a spare. I set it to do downstairs as I leave for work, all done when I get home. Spiders are my irritation, vacuming everyday and in places I wouldn't normally do has cut those down as most seem to have moved out. Works on my Oak floors and carpets, you do though need to use a ordinary vacum in the corners, stairs and on the skirting boards. I love it so much I've bought a second one for upstairs and one for downstairs. The kids too love it and clean their rooms far more than ever before. Best / 2nd best gadget I've ever bought.

How did I manage before - I hate housework and now I never have to do it again. Ideal for picking up pet hair. The first time I used it it would of been quicker to hoover myself as I spent the hour cycle following it around - so cool I love it.
