Works well while you sit and watch. I haven't programmed it to vacuum on a schedule but have gotten a couple extra "virtual wall" units for $34 since successfully using the one came with the IBot; I often have more than one area want to keep IBot out of. The dust tray is always full of pet hair...amazing job. The IBot slows before coming to a wall so doesn't bump and mar walls. It will navigate itself around chair legs and over most rugs. It's a little noisy but it is a vacuum. I put a virtual wall unit by the pets water bowel and the IBOT stayed out of that area. When I felt it had done a good job pressed "Dock" and the IBOT went to the charging station and stopped all on its own. I got the ~$400 model and am happy with it. My wife is a little techno challenged yet seems to have no trouble using IBOT.

One of the best purchases that I've ever made. I ordered it 3 weeks ago but was travelling so only opened and tried it yesterday and scheduled it to work today. Yesterday it worked almost two hours and cleaned my entire 1st floor (1000 square feet) with a mix of hardwood, rugs, stone tiles. It was amazing and I love watching it moving across the room. Picked up so much dust/dirt. After an overnight charge, today I scheduled it to work again. This time the charge was enough to clean my 1st and 2nd floor (carpet). It works wonderfully on carpet too! Picked up so much dust and I have emptied the dust tray 3 times (see picture).

Works so well. Great entry point into robotic vacuums. We run this guy once a day, and it keeps our laminate floors very clean.

Our first Roomba lasted 7 years and we loved it. We've had this one about 2 months. Roombie works hard and packs the dirt, hair and fur tight into the collection. She has quite the personality, when finding a soiled area, as she goes in circles or moves back and forth as she cleans and grumbles.

Great product! The Roomba is simple to use and works on all surfaces.
