With 2 cats, I was looking forward to owning a Roomba. Pros: It does the job! I cleaned out the vacuum after 1 hour and was surprised by the amount of dust and cat hair. It moves around the house freely and gets the job done. CONS: VERY LOUD! I expect some noise, but the Roomba sounds louder than a traditional vacuum. Doesn't allow you to turn it on and ignore it, since its so loud. Another CON is that it stays in one spot for too long. It kept going in and out of the bathroom (which is very small) several times when I wish it would take longer vacuuming rugs. It fixates on certain areas that don't really appear to need cleaning. I am hoping that with time it learns the layout of my home and improves where it decides to clean longer. Overall, its great for pet owners. Especially for hard to reach areas like under the couch and bed. I wish it was quieter and smarter!

I was a skeptic. My husband said to buy one but I really felt it was just a fad and probably would not do a sufficient job. It sat in the box for three weeks before I de decided to finally get it running. We have two dogs and three cats and a household of four people. I use to sweep twice a day. Once in the morning then in the afternoon. First time I tried it I had just swept the floor with our dyson sweeper an hour before turning on the roomba. I didn't expect it to pick up anything. To my surprise at the end of its cycle the bin was full of dirt and pet hair. I was shocked. This thing has improved my days in a huge way. It runs early in the morning and when I wake the floors are clean. It's a wonderful little machine. The only cons is it does get stuck sometimes under my couch. Not a huge issue, it's more of a small inconvenience. I highly recommend this wonderful little machine. My family thinks I'm a little nutty because they hear me talking to roombie telling her she's done a great job. LOL. I think they are just jealous.

I got it from a friend as a gift. Used it for a while, and now it is only moving at one place in spite of cleaning. I have changed it the bin and brushes but that money was also waste. Now I am returning it for some credit. But, I'll try another company this time.

I have had this Roomba for about a year now and I hate it! It's way to loud, it hits everything in it's path and leaves a mark, it gets stuck under things and it's starting to start up earlier than I have it set to start! I have it set to start at 9:00 in the morning and it's now starting 15 minutes before 9:00! I will never ever buy another one for as long as I live! Oh and buy the way there is no way I can contact anyone if I need to ask a question about it! Now what kind of business is that? I hope everyone sees my post and thinks twice about buying this trash!

I am a teacher and work about 55 - 60 hours a week. We have a long haired dog that sheds like crazy. I used to vacuum once a week and still we had little hair pillows along the baseboards. I run creepy two or three times a week while I'm grading and my floors have never been cleaner. I love my room a and wish I had had it years ago!

My favorite thing about Rosie is that I can start her cleaning, and do other things. While she is vacuuming I can dust, clean the kitchen, make beds, clean the bathroom, etc... It is such a time saver! Probably one of the best things is that she cleans under the couch and tables, those places I don't vacuum as often.

I come home to vacuum floors every day what is not to love. It does miss some spots, but it's a big space so that may not help. It loves to get stuck on cords so if you aren't home when it runs; either pick up the cords or close doors to those rooms and do them when you get home. I had a bad cord in my 1st package and customer service was very helpful and sent a new cord and even called back to make sure the cord worked and the Roomba was working.

I was hesitant to make this purchase thinking it would not clean efficiently, I was wrong. I no longer have to sweep and my floors are spotless. It does an amazing job of getting all the dust and pet hair up in such a large space. I turn it on while at work and never have to worry about it missing a spot or not working.

We held off on buying one questioning how much we'd like it, then my In-Laws gave us one for Christmas. As the headline read: One of the Best Gifts Ever! As I learned the machine and watched it function I grew more impressed with its efficiency, design, quality, and construction, especially the dual rotating sweepers and dust bin filter and fan! It transitions well between rooms with doorway transoms and onto and off of rugs.

I can't believe how much pet hair it picked up. Much better than my vacuum and it gets under furniture. Also love it be a with a bad back and a recent knee surgery, I can clean the house without pain afterwards. Super easy to clean the brushes and the filter. If you want to confine it to one room or area, buy the virtual wall or set something up to keep it in that area.
