iRobot Roomba 3000 Robotic Vacuum

Pros: Great for between regular vacuuming; works well on low carpet and tile floors
Cons: Hard to get put together after cleaning it out

I wanted a Roomba! Maybe I was just jealous of my daycare provider, I don't know! She loves hers and runs it every night after the kids leave. I checked out Amazon to see what the price range was. I checked Epinions, and everyone seemed to love ...

Pros: Affordable, well-designed, efficient!
Cons: Could hold more dirt. Longer battery life.

The Roomba is my dream come true. I've been dreaming of this since I was a teen. I even spent a summer learning about electronics, soldering, etc., in hopes of building my own. My husband wasn't pleased. I spent hundreds of dollars and thousands of...

Pros: Entertainment; cleaning; value
Cons: I can't get my husband to do anything but vacuum now! Roomba needs daily cleaning

As soon as we turned Roomba on, we felt like the first people in the 50s to have a color TV set on the block! The entertainment value alone with Roomba is worth the $200 to us. However, my mother did buy it for real cleaning, which it is doing very well. ...

Pros: Great job cleaning, fun to watch, set it and forget it
Cons: Standard charging time, smallish particle bin

I have had the Roomba for a few weeks now and must say that I am very impressed with it.

Cleaning Ability

The Roomba does a very good job in grabbing/sweeping all of the things you can see on your carpet. While deep cleaning...

Pros: It works!
Cons: Takes a bit of maintenance.

When I saw the info on the Roomba I just had to get one. I knew my wife would think it was a silly novelty and an expensive one at that.

We got it and set it off and had it do a room and to my surprise, my wife announced that she loved it....

Pros: Kind of cool. Sweeps hard floors well.
Cons: Time saved vacuuming negated by time spent maintaining. Worry about durability.

Those of you posting the great reviews, please tell us how long you have had your Roomba. After reading the great reviews, we were really excited about the Roomba. My wife and I both work and the kids weren't doing such a great job with the ...

Pros: Fascinating to watch it work. Looks cool!
Cons: Looks like it will not last long. Not very intelligent. Limited cleaning capacity.

First one I bought had a problem with the virtual wall unit. Must have had an internal short, because after half an hour it started smoking and I noticed that the batteries were red hot. We exchanged it for another one at the store, but with this one the ...

Pros: It works - fun - shows that technology is getting very close.
Cons: Doesn't really vacuum next to many areas - can't have clutter.

We have had the Roomba Intelligent FloorVac for about 3 months. The way this works was a big surp ...

Pros: Great concept - love the idea of a vacuum that works unassisted.
Cons: Noisy. Does not do well on thicker carpet. Not terribly sturdy.

I've been so excited to try the Roomba, but I have to report (sadly) that it is not going to work for us. I'd read that the Roomba does not do well on shag or very thick carpet; our carpeting is a medium thickness so I assumed it would be fine....

Pros: Does my work for me and does it well!
Cons: Cleaning dust cup and brushes each time, charge is insufficient, scares my rabbit!

I love my Roomba! It was a Christmas gift and one of the best I've ever gotten. I just set it down and off it goes to suck the dirt off my carpets. It does a better job than the upright vacuum I had--the first time I ran it it got tons of hair (mine and ...

Pros: -it works!, compact design, fun to use
Cons: Charging time is too long, and you need to prep the room before use

I was extremely skeptical as to whether this thing really worked. Sure I read the other reviews that said it did, but I wasn't convinced until I saw it myself. I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. It works great for me. But it might not be right for ...

Pros: Entertaining & super cute Great for pets/children Great party trick
Cons: Vacuuming will beat this every time Gets room partially cleaned A bit noisy

The Roomba is like a little infant child crawling around on your rugs. It's so cute, you gotta watch it. But then again you feel like you have to supervise it. It likes to swallow telephone cords, knock over the kitty water bowl, and scares small animals...

Pros: Quiet, No-hassle, Ease of use, Sucking power, Takes me out of the equation
Cons: Long charge time

I was a bit skeptical about this product like many people probably were. I first saw the Roomba at the Sharper Image website, and became very interested in it. The add looked cool and what it said the Roomba would do was equally impressive, but I had to ...

Pros: Entertaining, quiet, effective
Cons: Dirt bins small, battery requires long charging time

I have been fascinated by the concept of the Roomba for a couple of years now, but was never willing to gamble $200 on it, being fairly sure it was probably just an entertaining gimmick. But after finding myself with over $400 worth of gift certificates ...

Pros: Very easy to use and work well. No bags to deal with.
Cons: 90 day warranty. Very poor customer support. Doesn't do steps

The Roomba is really easy to use and really does work well. I'm using it to replace my regular vacu ...
