iRobot Roomba 3000 Robotic Vacuum

Pros: Picks up cat hair and cat litter very well, entertaining to watch.
Cons: Long time to charge. Spinny brush breaks. My cats aren't sure what to think.

First, a Roomba is a little robotic vacuum. You simply turn it on, put it on the floor you want to ...

Pros: Works wonderfully for a short time.
Cons: Almost certain to fail within a few months and become junk.

Almost all positive reviews, whether from customers or magazines, come from short use. When I bought mine, I liked it so much that I bought two as gifts. Unfortunately, their useful life is very short. I bought mine about twenty months ago and with ...

Pros: Works fine (only in the beginning)
Cons: Roomba doesn't last longer than 6 months

This is the THIRD Roomba that I have had since Mother's Day of last year and it is CLEAR that the unit doesn't last longer than 6 months. Here are the items that you should know: 1) Roomba would do its work ONLY if you use it EVERY SINGLE DAY(because ...

Pros: Small, cool, simple operation, cool. Also pretty nifty.
Cons: No docking station, noisier than expected.

So I've been dying for one of these since I saw the infomercial... My partner buys one at Target fo ...

Pros: Cleans well (when it works)
Cons: Customer support is horrible, only worked for 15 days

The robot worked great. For about 15 days and then started just spinning in circles and shutting itself off. So... I contacted customer support and asked for their help. They told me it was an issue with the robot's software and that they ...

Pros: You dont have to manually vacuum
Cons: takes a long time, misses too many places

I really disliked this product. Yes, it's cute but I spent more time running after it to turn it around and setting up barriers to keep it in the same room than if I had just used a regular vacuum cleaner.
It has a crazy pattern and I was totally...

Pros: Excellent job on floors and under furniture. Amazed each time I empty the bin.
Cons: Noisy, doesn't work on carpets with tassels. Long recharge.

We are amazed each time at the amount of dirt and hair Roomba picks up. With a 3 year old and a cat ...

Pros: Vaccuums better than I do. Gets under furniture, goes over everything several times.
Cons: Needs a bit of care, but it is WELL WORTH IT!

I've had my Roomba over a month now, and with proper cleaning after a work session, it continues to vaccuum like a charm. The neighbors have come over to watch in awe, and some will soon be ordering their own. Most of the difficulties people have ...

Pros: Easy to use, time saver, thorough, great conversation piece, gets into hard to reach places
Cons: Requires prepping, requires lots of hair pulling/cleaning, mediocre sucking power

Having recently moved into a new condo with Berber carpet, I wanted a new vacuum to go with the new place. Since the apartment was only a small one bedroom apartment, I didn't think a $300 heavy duty vacuum was the right choice for me; (not to mention I ...

Pros: Entertaining, labor-free when working.
Cons: Extremely undurable, very noisy, expensive, inefficient, too much maintenance, poor performance for pet hair.

Roomba is a fun and entertaining vacuum, but the durability inadequacies ruin whatever assistance one gets by not having to vacuum. I have had the vacuum approximately eight months and have had to have three sets of replacement parts sent to me. The ...

Pros: Fun, Timesaving, the future
Cons: some useful accessories to provide full automation are not yet available in UK

Seen this on a UK quiz show as one of the prizes and decided to give it a try... (£150 from John Lewis) What comes in the box... the Roomba is about the size of a large dinner plate and about 5-6 inches high. It came with a virtual wall and remote ...

Pros: Easy to use, not expensive and does clean very well.
Cons: Cannot do corners of rooms perfectly

My biggest surprise for Christmas was receiving the Roomba FloorVac from my loving husband. He paid $164.90 with free shipping sent directly to our home. The only assembly needed was inserting battery pack and brushes. It has been the talk of any ...

Pros: Powerful vacuum will pick up everything you throw at it.
Cons: High dust areas require frequent internal cleanings. No big problem through. Click, click-you're done.

I was a big skeptic of the roomba and its claims. I downloaded every video and read every review about this machine before I took the near $500.00(CAD) plunge into the robot vacuum business. Well, I could not be happier. I am absolutely thrilled with the ...

Pros: You don't have to physically push a vacuum. Easy to operate.
Cons: Not good for thick carpet or rugs. You have to charge and clean it often.

Yes, it is too good to be true. This robotic vacuum cleaner needs years of improvement before I buy one again. This vacuum is about as effective as picking up dirt with scotch tape...it picks up very little, gets clogged easily with hair, and needs to ...

Pros: Great conversation piece
Cons: Cheap construction and extremely short life span

Despite reading mixed reviews, I purchased a new Roomba Discovery in December 04' to see for myself. Used it about 6 times and it finally self destructed. The large brush underneath stopped turning and from that point it just started pushing stuff ...
