Pros: It actually works!
Cons: Durability can be an issue.

My wife and I have been fans of Roomba since the very first model. In fact, we were fans before the first model even came out -- we just didn't know it'd be Roomba. Owning dogs, yet hating to vacuum, a robotic vacuum was precisely what we'd desperately ...

Cons: Leaves some areas unvacuumed, can pickup large items and occasionally jam.

Cons: Unreliable, not durable or robust, needs careful attention & maintenance, more novelty than solid vacuum

We are on our second Roomba of this model in six months. We bought our first Roomba at a local Target store, used it about 6 times, and then it stopped working reliably. (would spin in place, then stop) The Roomba customer service rep, although nice ...

Pros: Good for light cleaning. Picks up cat hair.
Cons: Not for hardwood floors. Carpets still need regular vac frequently. Bad with long human hair.

Update (1/2007) I am now on my 3rd Roomba in less than 2 years. The battery charging portion of the 2nd vacuum failed after about 10 months of weekly use, and no amount of resetting the vacuum or draining the battery fixed the problem. The ...

Pros: Easy to use, Easy to clean it out, Minimal changes to my house required
Cons: Fairly expensive, not fast (so?!), small bin

I have had my Roomba for exactly 24 hours, and it is an outstanding product. I have a dog with long hair that sheds often, and it is impossible for me to keep up with all the shedding. Already, I can tell how much it's going to help, since within about 4 ...

Pros: it does very well cleaning open areas and under beds
Cons: Behaves erratically, not durable, and it cannot handle a carpet fringe at all

I have a 2-year old Roomba Discovery. So, here's the report from someone whose past that "I LOVE IT" honeymoon period. It does a pretty fair job of cleaning in a well-prepped room. It picks up cat hair and kittly litter very well. But it tends ...

Cons: Needs supervision or it gets stuck. The dust bin is very small.

We've been using iRobot Roomba Discovery 4210 robotic vacuum for the last 4 months, and so far we've been reasonably happy with it. It's not perfect, but it does the job most of the time. Here are the things we really love about it: - As a vacuum ...

Pros: Replaces tile floor brooming and reduces my regular vacuuming to once in six months.
Cons: Doesn't dust my bookshelves, end tables, nor couches and chairs. :-)

I'm the kind of guy who often let's weekly vacuuming slip into biweekly vacuuming because I really hate the chore of pulling out the heavy central vacuum hose and slowly letting the carpet beater brush do its work (pushing too fast is not efficient and ...
