Pros: Picks up cat hair and cat litter very well, entertaining to watch.

First, a Roomba is a little robotic vacuum. You simply turn it on, put it on the floor you want to ...

Pros: Easy to use, not expensive and does clean very well.
Cons: Cannot do corners of rooms perfectly

My biggest surprise for Christmas was receiving the Roomba FloorVac from my loving husband. He paid $164.90 with free shipping sent directly to our home. The only assembly needed was inserting battery pack and brushes. It has been the talk of any ...

Pros: Great job cleaning, fun to watch, set it and forget it
Cons: Standard charging time, smallish particle bin

I have had the Roomba for a few weeks now and must say that I am very impressed with it.

Cleaning Ability

The Roomba does a very good job in grabbing/sweeping all of the things you can see on your carpet. While deep cleaning...

Pros: Does my work for me and does it well!
Cons: Cleaning dust cup and brushes each time, charge is insufficient, scares my rabbit!

I love my Roomba! It was a Christmas gift and one of the best I've ever gotten. I just set it down and off it goes to suck the dirt off my carpets. It does a better job than the upright vacuum I had--the first time I ran it it got tons of hair (mine and ...

Pros: Usable for impaired persons; Works well enough for light cleaning; Easy
Cons: Small dirt cup; Won't work for those with clutter

My mom thinks I’m amazing! No, not because I’m talented or cute, but because I bought her the PERFECT gift for Mother’s Day this year! I bought her the Roomba—something I thought was a bit silly when I first heard about it a year ago. A ...

Cons: Needs a silencer...needs a hepa filter

Presenting the Pantazis5: Let me give you a picture of the family home. Three bedrooms upstairs, and a bathroom and hall. All with beige carpeting. Downstairs is hardwood floors with area rugs. A living room, dining room kitchen that all open ...

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: Cute, does the job more than adequately, doesn't require much attention.
Cons: Doesn't do liquids, has trouble with thick carpet, Virtual Wall unit requires 2 D batteries.

I like the way the developers of Roomba think. Take some menial chore that everyone hates to do and make technology to do it for us. That's what every technology applications inventor/developer should be aiming for. A merely cool idea that does ...

Pros: Vaccuums better than I do. Gets under furniture, goes over everything several times.
Cons: Needs a bit of care, but it is WELL WORTH IT!

I've had my Roomba over a month now, and with proper cleaning after a work session, it continues to vaccuum like a charm. The neighbors have come over to watch in awe, and some will soon be ordering their own. Most of the difficulties people have ...

Pros: Does the job, inexpensive, does for floors what dishwashers do for dishes
Cons: Has problems with rug fringes

I've now cleaned my entire house using the Roomba vacuum robot for the past three weeks, and to my surprise, this thing actually works! It looks small (about the size of a hubcap), it doesn't have powerful suction, its brushes aren't huge, it only...

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: semi-automatic, cleaner floors, less time spent vacuuming
Cons: more taking out the trash (emptying)

IRobot Roomba

Synopsis:
The roomba is a robotic semi-automatic vacuum cleaner that handles hardwood floors, tile, medium pile rugs, and everything in between. It performs best in rooms or partitions up to 15x20 feet cleared of things on...

Pros: Cleans well on hardwood floor and under furniture. Needs little supervision while cleaning.
Cons: Needs a lot of cleaning. Needs replacement parts after 4 months.

I have had a Roomba Red for about 4 months now. It works great on the hardwood floor, but is not as effective on rugs/carpet. I find that all I have to do is clear the floors and let it go. It goes under the table and sofa which was a lot more difficult ...

Pros: Cool to watch, Useful, Roomba's under beds! :)
Cons: Not a replacement for a regular vac (but does not claim to be)

Intro:

I saw the Roomba on MSN one day and knew I had to have one. I mean who wouldn't, a robotic vacuum cleaner! However I knew my wife would be less than thrilled about spending $200 on what she would see as a toy. Now we pay ourselves...
