iRobot Roomba 3000 Robotic Vacuum

Pros: None
Cons: vacuum cleaner still rules.

Used it around 5 times. Started giving me trouble after using 5 times. Had to do use the vacuum cleaner anyway.
Stopped using it and started using the vacuum cleaner for the whole place. Missed lot of places in a large room size. Eventhough the...

Pros: worked well while operational
Cons: operational only 15 minutes

The roomba is cute and ran around the room nicely for 15 minutes, encountering no obstacles, going under the couch and just humming along -- all seemed well. Then it bumped up against a wall (no furniture, about 9 feet of space) and simply stopped. The...

Pros: Does ok on bare floors, that aren't that dirty.
Cons: Works like a very light sweeper. Flimsy.

This item is worthless even on Berber Carpet (which is not shag or deep pile carpet). Anyone with animal hair on their rugs or floors will spend more time unwinding the turning brush then having it clean. The word "Vac" is misleading, and it should be...

Pros: Greatest thing since sliced bread
Cons: Cat dislikes it

Installation - as simple as it gets. I charged it up & it set off to boldly go where no vacuum had gone before (at least since I've been living here).
After an hour or so it chirped to tell me it had finished & I opened the dust compartment - shock...

Pros: Easy to use. Does great job. Real conversation piece.
Cons: Battery life is too short.

I purchased roomba last week after checking out the eopinions site. I have two bulging disks in my back and since vacuuming irritates them, I decided it was less expensive to purchase this item than have back surgery. Well, nothing in life happens by...

Pros: fun, good for light cleaning, no hands!!
Cons: gets caught in cords, fuzzy rugs, fireplaces

I got the Roomba for Christmas and it was the best gift! For someone with a young child and lots of holiday guests, it was easy to use Roomba to keep the home clean. I have hard wood floors throughout the home and so the Roomba's design is perfect....

Pros: It was nifty the first two weeks, worked well and made my life easier
Cons: It died and has now made my life more difficult trying to return it

This vacuum cleaner is a piece of junk. Granted, I thought it was the coolest thing ever the first two weeks I owned it. It would clean my house while I took a nap or cooked dinner. Who wouldn't like such a cheap maid! But, slowly the performance...

Pros: When it works correctly, it does an OK job on wood floors.
Cons: Won't move forward. Customer service sucks more than the vacuum.

I bought a Roomba a few months ago and liked it very much - at first. It wasn't the strongest vacuum but it did an OK job picking up dog hair, etc. on our wood floors. But about 3-4 months after I bought it, it began malfunctioning. When it hit a wall or ...

Pros: Lets me do other chores while it happily vacuumes. It goes UNDER furniture!!!
Cons: Haven't really found any cons that bug me. I love it!!!

This thing is terrific. I highly recommend getting the rapid charger. It re-charges the battery in 2 ...

Pros: Easy to use, will work with odd-shaped rooms and around furniture.
Cons: Not a deep clean vac but picked up 80% of our pet hair.

Ease of Use:
Very easy to set up and use.

Cleaning the Unit:
I recommend you clean the unit everytime you use it, especially if it is picking up pet hair. I was amazed by how much hair it actually picked up.

...

Pros: Simple to use, effective
Cons: Recharge time long

What Roomba isn't: a full replacement for a high quality upright vacuum, although it comes close. What Roomba is: think of a power sweeper on steroids that runs by itself.

If you have regular flooring or low pile carpet, Roomba may be all you...

Pros: Leave it and go!
Cons: Can't do furniture or stairs, can get stuck, limited dust receptacle capacity

Guys love gadgets. Guy hate housework. Roomba makes vacuuming fun by making it so you don't have t ...

Pros: Ease of use, knows where to go and how to get there!
Cons: Kinda loud, turn it off to talk on phone,then again who can talk while vacuuming!

I had just moved across country and did not bring the old vacuum so when going to buy a new one I thought, sure, why not, I'll try it. WOW! What a wonderful gadget. I bought the economy red ROOMBA first and loved it. I have 2 pugs that shed, shed, ...

Pros: Easy to use, vacuum every day without the work, great for hardwoods
Cons: Doesn't work that great on carpets, need to move cords,

I run it daily! We have all hardwoods or tile floor on our main floor and Roomba cleans it all. Pe ...

Pros: Gadget-cool, fun, less work, does a good job on hard floors and low pile carpet.
Cons: Occasionally gets stuck. No attachments for furniture. (still need a regular vac)

Title says it all. I am usually loath to adopt new technology too quickly, but I have been wanting a robotic vacuum for some time. I bought this because the reviews were very favorable and it seemed to do what I wanted. It has lived up to every...
