This thing rocks! Within 30 seconds of use, my wife and I were absolutely smitten.

Description:
Roomba is about the size of two Frisbees stuck together, and motors around your house doing the vacuuming while making about half the noise...

Pros: What a hoot! And it works as well as "Rosie" did!
Cons: None so far.

I have 3 long-haired cats, a husband and 2 kids to clean up after and it did a great job of picking up everything. I just sat back with my newspaper and a few cups of tea and let Roomba do the work. I'd recommend buying an additional battery and/or the...

Pros: Quick, easy to clean out and use. Reasonable good job.
Cons: None except worry about how long plastic parts that appear fragile will hold up.

I have purchased two of these robots, for my homes in two different States. I have used the first one for six months and obviously liked it well enough to buy another. Yes, they are worth the price, especially when, like me, recovering from back ...

Pros: Neat looking, runs unattended
Cons: Doesn't clean completely, gets stuck on throw rugs

Honestly, I wanted this to work so much that sheer willpower should have caused it to come true. Sadly, it falls short of my performance expectations. Granted it's cool looking and pretty fun to own (and watch the cat run from room to room followed by...

Pros: Nice invention
Cons: If your product arrives broken, you'll be out time and money to get it replaced

I've been using roomba since it first appeared on the market. I was impressed. I now have the discovery & scooba. I recently upgraded my original roomba to the roomba sage due to a promotional sale from irobot to do this offering savings. I received my ...

Pros: Good while it lasted. Mined failed and luckily still under warranty
Cons: Will ultimately fail after a few months due to serious design flaw.

My Roomba developed a very common symptom due to dirty sensors, This sensor detect the wheel motion. When the sensor is blocked by accumulated dust the Roomba will dance in circles, beeps and stop. I was advice that this is a very common problem after ...

Pros: I robot Customer Service will honor the warranty.
Cons: You will need to get an extened warranty and use it frequently.

Since April 2005, we are currently on our 3rd Roomba vac (two models 4105 & model 4210) The first and third, we bought First From Target Online. The second was a replacement from iRobot. The third I purchased new on Ebay. This product should not be ...

Pros: The initial anticipation of owning a robot vacuum with all its claims. 
Cons: The Customer Service Department at iRobot is impotent and guilty of attempted fraud.

In 2004 I purchased a Roomba Elite with great anticipation. Now, in 2009, my seldom-used Roomba has caused me more grief, time and energy than I can describe. Soon as I got it working, I discovered I could not use it on most of my floors because it got ...

Pros: -Cleans under things nicely -Autonomous cleaning
Cons: -Floors need picking up first. -Doesn't do pet hair. -Didn't last long. -Can't be fixed.

This review is being written a few years after the purchase. The wheel drop sensor on my original Roomba is now kaputt. There's no way to fix it even if I sent it in. They offered a 30% discount on new models. I have a problem with that because I ...

Pros: Almost perfect cleans awesome fun to watch
Cons: none really.

I was watching HSN the other night and they were doing a demo on the roomba and I was getting excited of thinking about putting it to use in my huge bathroom full of tile as well as my utility room where the cats liter box's hang out. Well, I started in ...

Pros: Ok, for light cleaning. Sports the "Cool" factor with Impressive cleaning algorithms
Cons: Requires frequent cleaning of fouled brushes/sensors. Should include 4 "walls". Cords/tassels snag.

iRobot is a good company and let me say I love the idea of the Roomba. It is a great toy and conversation piece but unfortunately it is not ready for prime time. Why do I say this? Primarily because if you have dirty dusty floors that really need to ...

Pros: Won't eat tassels/electrical cords.
Easy to clean out
Cleans while you are not around
Cons: Cost
Limited cleaning time before it needs recharging.
Must clean it out after each use

I have always wanted one of these but couln't believe they could really be worth the money. I considered it now because Linens & Things was going out of business and they had them on their website -- marked down. I read MANY reviews before I finally ...

Pros: It be used in smaller areas, with minimum furniture and no area rugs.
Cons: Charge not long enough. Dirt bins not large enough. Gets hung up on area rugs.

Has trouble getting from floor to area rugs and visa versa.
Charge is short. Requires some time preparing room - removing cords, hanging drapes, bed skirts, etc., from floor, rearranging furniture so it doesn't get stuck between things, etc. Slightly noisy. Handle is not easy to grab as they say when you want to stop it in a hurry. Debris bins are small. Require several emptyings if you are doing a large room. Also, for a large room, recharge is necessary before finishing room.
