    Good Points: Roomba vacuums well (not in corners) and love using it in bedrooms where it can get under the beds etc. When it is working it is a pleasure to have.


    Bad Points: The battery is not covered under warranty so will have to buy 3 or 4 over a 3 year period. Also breaks down regularly and if you are not close to post office (with extra costs) or the repair center, it could be a problem.


    General comments: My Roomba works well, when it works. I must admit that I use it every day on a different room on max. I have to return it to be fixed every three months. Thank goodness I bought an extended warranty and the service center is about 15 minutes drive away. The battery has a limited life. I was advised that if I ran it on maximum and did not allow it to get back to the home base, the battery life would be extended. I do this every time I use it. Still no luck - will need to buy a new battery every so often.

    we just returned our second roomba back to costco.we really liked it. i dont know why it didnt work but it would run for awhile and stop beep twice. we cleaned it according to the book, set it back down and it would run for about 30 seconds. beep twice, we would remove the basket and no dirt was in it'. we are afraid to try it again.

    I am very happy with Roomba 560. Well spent money. I would recommend without hesitation. Bring new things IRobot!

    Fantastic vacuum cleaner. Good cleaning, does the corners and under furniture, dirt compartment reasonable. Takes a while to clean a room but who cares! Does not do stairs but some people just brush dirt to the bottom.

    This has to be the best purchase ever!!! I own a very hairy collie and hoover my kitchen at least 3x day. This vacuum not only gets on with the job by itself, but (surprisingly) the results exceed any previous model I have had before (trust me I have tried everything including more expensive dysons, miele and sebos). The dog has quickly got used to it and is not at all scared. The roomba is not particularly loud and even though the collection box is small, it is quick and easy to empty. I just w ...

    The Romba is fairly user friendly, tedious to clean but worth the trouble. If it lasted longer, it would be worth it! I would not recommend to anyone. Mine worked no more soon after the warranty ran out even though I purchased a new expensive battery. I was offered an out of warranty "deal" to purchase another Romba for $99.00. I was not offered a refund on the new battery.

    Better cleaning of carpets than standard hoover. Pets don't like it. Cleaning the brush is a pain. Nothing like setting it loose and coming home to clean floors.

    It is so freakin' cool. Who would have thought of this? I just got one for my move, and it is brilliant. I can't believe I lived without the Roomba and Scoomba for so long. It slips underneath my kitchen sink, and it is ready to go after a charge. I watch the telly when it mops my floors. What better maid do you want?

    The Roomba and Scooba vacuum and mop do the hard work so you can relax. Both devices work flawlessly with minimal setup and upkeep. I used them for almost six months and have not noticed any defects, flaws or breakdowns. They are small enough to fit under most furniture and into most nooks and crannies. Sensors allow them to navigate the room avoiding stairs and other hazards. For the Roomba an ingenious brush system cleans along walls, scoops up larger debris, and sucks in dust and particles. S ...
