Many appreciate its simple setup process, although some users found the navigation system needed improvement and reported issues with battery life and noise levels. The small dustbin size was also a common complaint. While some found the virtual wall helpful, others felt it could be improved.

Excited for my Roomba
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This little vacuum so far has done a great job, the only reason I did not give 5 stars is that it is so random of how it goes across a floor and leaves large spots not vacuumed at all. Other than that this is a life saver for dog hair and misc. direct brought in the house. It is very thorough on the kitchen floor. It does get stuck easier under chairs so if you put those up, you are good to go.

Who needs a dog?
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchasing our Roomba (we named him Carl) was sort of on a whim after some friends made the joke that with twin two year olds we needed a dog to clean up after them. Along came Carl and he has been a huge help. He sweeps and vacuums equally as well. I went with this version because of the longer battery life and I'm glad I did. With 90 minutes of power he is able to thoroughly clean my kitchen and front way. Then after a few hours of charging its back to tackle the living room. Its great to be able to be doing something else and knowing my floors are getting cleaned. LOVE THIS MACHINE!

Way better than expected
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this roomba for our 1500 sq ft office that has polished concrete floors and a few rugs. We have a lot of dust in our area plus the "office dog" likes to shed everywhere. We were sweeping at least once a day and mopping once per week. The roomba made a huge difference in how clean our office is! We never sweep now and we mop 1x per month. amazing. The app is easy to use and the roomba runs every night on its own. The only complaint is that the roomba doesnt always make it back to its charging station. You'll be amazing at how much dirt this little thing will pick up every day!

Helpful overall
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For a couple who work full time for the whole week, roomba is a blessing. It cannot cover the entire 1920 sq ft of my house but it does it’s job with whatever it covers. I now have a peace of mind because I can work in the kitchen as the roomba gets busy cleaning. I am yet to use it when we are away mostly because my 8 year old usually has a lot of tiny stuff on the floor that roomba might pick up or get stuck with. Overall happy.

Love it!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't believe a few things about this product... I can't believe how much hair my dogs shed. I can't believe how much my robot pick up! I can't believe that I waited so long to buy one! We will be getting the top line model next and move our first one to the basement!

Amazing for pets
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been wonderful with our pets. We purchased the 800 model because of the stronger suction and it has not disappointed. We run it on a schedule about every other day and I’ve yet to see pet hair or debris on our dark floors. The only downside which is a preference is that it does not vacuum in a straight line. It is kind of everywhere but eventually comes back to the area. Overall extremely pleased.

Mom's Favorite
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a gift for my mom. After research on robotic vacuum brands and models we decided to give this one a try. This has only been in operation for about a week now, but my mom loves it. easy to use and does an awesome job at picking up debris on her tile floors.

Good helper
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is my second one. The first one has been with me for 2 years and it was wonderful. I need one for upstairs so I do not have to bring the only one up and down. This second one is quieter than the first one and has added wifi & app control. The app control is convenient. The downside seems to be its battery does not last long enough and even shorter than my old one. Overall, it's a good machine.

Getting struck and charge not enough at instances
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even when charged to 100 percent, this irobot model not returning to home base in some cleaning instances. Getting stopped with low battery warning and need to manually move it to home base. Roomba need manual assistance when you have additional dining or living area carpet. Getting struck sometimes at the slightest bump

Not good for rugs
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This works great on floors, however if you plush rugs it doesn’t even make it up on to it. Not worth the price for only floors

Great vaccuum but small cannister.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This robot vacuum can get the job done and you'll never really have to 'clean' again. The only downfall to this would be that the cannister is so small that it'll need to be emptied out every time it does a run around the house. To pay for the automatic can disposal too is quite expensive. Overall, I like how efficient it is with cleaning on hard wood floors and picking up pet hair.

Does not return to base to charge
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The cleaning is superb. The ability to schedule daily is awesome. However, I've sent this to clean my home 5-10 times, and it loses battery before it's able to complete the clean. before the battery dies, it doesn't return to the base to recharge. I'm debating if i should return.....

Overall useful, few kinks to work out
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A huge time saver, it is hard to find many faults in this unit. Only one area is left to be desired, other than that it is almost a perfect device! Unboxing the device has pretty much zero assembly and you will find the device inside, a barrier device (to keep your robot from cleaning certain areas), documentation, a charging pad and batteries for the barrier device. It has A LOT of cardboard inside so you will have much trash to throw away after unboxing. Set up is a breeze, plug the charging pad into the wall, put your Roomba on top to charge and wait until it is ready. When ready to begin, press start on the robot or download the app to set up more advanced functions. In operation, it works almost perfectly. The brush heads are both rubber (no actual brush) which will reduce or eliminate tangles from hair picked up off of the floor. The actual brush/vacuum area in the robot is small so expect a long vacuum period to finish a room or floor. It did a great job cleaning most surfaces and gets under the furniture very easily. I only experienced one or two annoyance/problems in operation. Most of the sensors on the device seem to be pressure sensitive or dust sensing when vacuuming. It also has infrared sensor on top to find its charging station. Because of that, it cannot “see” where it is going, it kind of just picks a direction and keeps going until it bumps into something and eventually gets the whole room. Supposedly it uses the infrared sensors to kind of map out the room but it really feels like it is a lot of bump and go work at work here. Like I said, it is simply an annoyance since it seems there could be more efficient ways of getting the cleaning done. Otherwise my only problem is the charging cradle. It does not seem to sit very well on carpeted surfaces and the robot had issues docking with it autonomously. I had better performance on hard wood since it has a small grip pad on the bottom. Setting a timer on the device for example, is great! It only cleans on Tuesdays and Fridays is great! You go to work and your house is vacuumed when you get home. Sometimes you need to find the unit since it cannot always find its ways back to the charging cradle though. The dirt cartridge is small so expect to clean it out each time you vacuum but this is to be expected with a small device such as this. It does a great job picking up most dirt, rarely if ever get tangled in cords or objects and mostly works as advertised. A great product overall.

Good “helper”
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It definitely helps. I got this to help keep allergies at bay. I still need to vacuum once a week to completely get EVERY speck of dirt/debris. But this little guy makes a big difference! The trick is to robot-proof your house, so it doesn’t get stuck or suck up something that it’s not supposed to.
