Customers consistently note the Roomba 890's effectiveness in cleaning pet hair and its ability to keep hardwood floors dustless. They also appreciate its user-friendly design, long battery life, and scheduling function. However, some users have expressed concerns about the vacuum getting stuck, being a bit loud, and having a small bin that fills up quickly.
I’ll start off with this: I’m lazy, and I’m bad at time management, so keeping my floors clean is sometimes difficult. I bought a Roomba to help with that, especially since I have cats...and litter boxes. I got tired of stepping on litter, too. Attached is a photo of my Roomba on its home base, and the “virtual wall” it came with. I purchased this Roomba in store with the help of a knowledgeable employee. So far, I’ve used it about 8-10 times, roughly. I turn it on randomly when I feel my floors need cleaned, whether I use the app on my phone or push the button on the Roomba itself is totally random. It came with a “virtual wall” in it, which acts like an invisible barrier to the Roomba. It won’t go past it, which is great for when I don’t want it getting lost in certain rooms. It runs for 1.5-2 hours before getting low on battery, and it begins making its way back home. It also alerts you when it gets stuck somewhere or when it’s time to empty the bin, which is awesome. Took me a while to learn how to empty the bin but a quick google/YouTube search helped me out. I would say this was a great purchase. There’s always room for improvement! The Roomba does the classic “bumps into everything” while it’s learning your house, which can be funny, or annoying. Give it time. It’s not quiet, though, so if you have sleeping kids or like a quiet environment, look for a different model of Roomba or another robot vacuum. All in all, I love it. There are no downsides for me, personally.

I’ll be honest, I hate doing the floors but with a pittie dog, and with allergies, I have to. This was a really good purchase. I just turn it on and let it go and it cleans my hard wood floors. It saves you time. All you have to do is press clean and it just goes and does its job. I use it every day and it has minimized me doing that tedious task. The only thing is that is a con is that if you have a high carpet or thick carpet as a transition from wood it won’t go and clean the carpet, it will continue elsewhere. For me the carpet area is so small it is not a problem. I still gave it 5 stars because it has really saved me time and and it’s just really convenient. It does a fantastic job in aspirating dog hair and dust. When I empty the trash container I’m shocked by all the crap it sucks up. Also you can turn it on with your app or even program it to do your floors from work. It’s so great. If you have pets this is a great thing to invest in and I highly recommend it.

My back cannot handle the heavy (or light) vacuums. ROOMBAs came into our life and my back is a happy camper! Keeps our main home floor clean with automatic schedules daily cleaning. Also have one at our second home that we run when we have pre-scheduled to run when we are there. It is amazing how much is collected after being gone during the week!
