I hit the clean button and then go to work. August 20, 2008

I wondered how any product could be so good that it has so many 5 star reviews of it. I bought one and now I know. It does what it's supposed to do and it does it really well. When I first got it, I watched it cleaning and kept thinking "where's it going now?", it seems illogical at first but to be honest, who cares how it cleans so long as it does. There are some problems that you need to address first though. I live in a bungalow so I let it clean the whole area, unfortunately, if you don't wedge all the doors open, it can trap itself in a room. I've also found it wedged on the feet of a particular piece of furniture. On the plus side, it never moans, doesn't gossip, drink or miss bits through forgetfulness. Also, if you happen to be on your own, setting it off to do a clean can be strangely reassuring! My one nightmare is an Arnold Schwarzenegger look alike figure appearing from thin air one night and calling it great great grandad!

I bought my roomba from the states before the release in the UK so i've had mine now for a little over a year.
I loved the first one so much i bought another one for upstairs. what can i say about it? well... it cleans really well, it does take a long time though, however, i tend to put them on and either walk away, or go out, and when i come back the job is done. they take a second to empty, and i can clean the whole of the downstairs of my house with out emptying the dirt box. i have laminate floors in my hall and lounge, tiles in the kitchen and carpets upstairs and it cleans all really well, one small con is that we have a very deep pile rug in the lounge. although it cleans the rug well, it always misses about 2" around the rug where it has a "step up". this is because as it is climbing up to the rug the brushes arent touching the floor, i dont think this would happen if the rug wasnt so deep though.
its very entertaining to watch, and when kids come to visit they squeal with delight as they watch the roomba zip around the floor. its also worth mentioning that the build quality is very good and the product robust as we have an 18 month old who insists on trying to ride on it! its a very forgiving robot! it has never damaged any furniture, or marked anything.
we give our robots names, as they become affectionately known as marilyn (as in marilyn monrobot) and R2D2, (the white robot).
anyway, once you get one i think you'll never go back to doing it yourself, its such fun and so easy! i just wish it did stairs.

I purchased this robotic cleaner not entirely convinced it would do the job. The technology is amazing with obstacle avoidance, stairs etc. I don't think the vacuum capability is much good and it does get stuck on carpet edges and fringes on occasion. It also seems to shed quite a lot of fluff and dirt from its rollers when it changes surface from floor to rug. Overall it is a good product but does not replace a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Yes. It is true. This is the best modern thing to have at home. Certainly outrates any vacuum cleaner. Essential for any working man or women. We had it at home for 2 months now. I do not know how we did without it.

Firstly I would like to say that i dont normally submit reviews, however I was so totaly amazed with this product I just had to let others know.
I recently purchased the 560 model and was impressed immediately upon opening the box, the robot looks and feels vey well built. The instructions supplied are simply and easy to understand mainly because there is very little to do with the Roomba, just charge it and its away to go.
I have a bigger than average house but Roomba easily coped with cleaning the whole down stairs, supplying about 2 hrs of constant hoovering on one battery charge, it docked itself and after about two hours of charging was ready to go again.
I have a mixture of flooring types, Tiles, wood flooring and rugs, roomba done them all, upon emptying the bin you can see that the Roomba is not a toy it is a very effective hoover.
Roomba easily navigates around the home giving total coverage, and spending far more time in each room than any person would.
The light houses supplied are easy to set up, just put battries in, decide where you want them and roomba does the rest. ( lighthouses act as sort of homing beacons for roomba, confining it to one room before guiding it directly to the next, they also assist in getting roomba back to the charging station.)
When i want to hoover upsatirs i simply pick roomba up carry it upstairs and set it off, obviously it canrt get back to it charging dock (downstairs) so we leave it hoovering away until it runs out of steam, pick it up stick it back on the dock.
I know Roomba is a little more expensive, than normal hoovers but it is so worth the extra money, the dread of being asked by the wife to "run the hoover over" has dissappeared !!!! I now actuall enjoy watching Roomba do the job (sad i know!!!).
In short brilliant, vey clever and worth every penney, buy one now !!!!!
