When my husband first bought me the Roomba Discovery, I was pregnant and we had a cat. That cat shed like crazy. I was constantly vacuuming because if I didn't, the floor was covered in hair. Once the baby was born, my hubby took over some of the cleaning duties, including the vacuuming. After two weeks,...

I purchased a roomba. I recommended it to everyone. I thought it was the greatest thing ever. And then it broke. They replaced it, I figured I had a defect. And then it broke again. Again it was replaced and things went fine-until it broke the third time. Just over a year after original purchase so it...

Got the discovery as a replacement for the roomba red. Does a great job on bare floors, a so so job on carpets. Love that it docks itself when it's done so I don't have to pick it up and put it back, very convenient. I have two dogs and a cat, am amazed at the amount of fur it picks up in between good vac jobs. I usually clean house good and then use this to maintain the floors in between.
This is a MUST have especially if you have pets, I have used my upright vacuum and then let the roomba go over it and it TRULY picks up dog hair better than any upright available. I suggest getting the extended warranty as sometimes the battery needs replaced and purchasing a new battery doesn't solve the problem. Sears has a wonderful return policy on this, and you get a new roomba with the extended warranty. 10 STAR product!!
I saw this item at Sears and thought I would save a lot of time at home and office with a Roomba. I do when it works. I have had mine for about 3 years now. It was completely replaced under warranty at about 11 months. The second one acted up doing all sorts of weird things. The company sent me an automatic reprogramming thing to plug in. It worked for a while longer--then does weird things like spins aimlessly in circles or simply parks under a couch and eventually the battery dies. It does not like thick carpet. It loves tile and hard wood floors and does a very nice job on them. I would highly...

I love my Roomba!
I have a very large hairy dog and use to vacuum everyday the moment I got home from work. I can not stand to see hair all over my area rugs and hardwood floor. I now have a baby, so getting the floor vacuumed everyday has become a much bigger challenge but even more necessary.
Roomba to the rescue!
I purchased the scheduler to go along with Roomba, I have it set to clean just before we get home at the end of the day. Now when I get home the floor is clean and my baby can crawl where ever he wants without getting covered in hair or tempted to eat any little crumb off the floor....

A great way to clean hard floors (I cannot comment on carpet). I hated trying to clean under the bed, couch,etc. Does this effortlessly and effectively. It is noisy so I use it only when no others are around. Transfers the burden of work to my husband who has to take it outside and empty/clean the filter almost daily- a major annoyance for him.
With three small boys 5 and under and two large dogs that shed like crazy I was so tired of sweeping! I had tumbleweeds rolling across my kitchen floor daily. Not so anymore! I purchased Roomba two years ago and have the cleanest floors in the neighborhood now! I run her daily and my floors have never looked so good. I admit that I didn't do under the bed and couch near as often as Roomba does! While she does come with walls, I find that a laundry basket does just as good. The walls work better at night in my opinion, and I vacuum during the day. I would recommend letting her go in no more than...

The technology has been around for a while, and Roomba has done a great job of leading the market. I own an original "red" Roomba, but upgraded to the Discovery model for all the extra features and accessories. I am pleased with the MAX setting which does a great job of cleaning hard surfaces and preserving battery life. Also, the included rapid-charger is a great help. It has become a common practice to launch the Roomba 15 minutes or so before company comes over to give our carpet that fresh, clean look! Highly recommended!
With new technology, and very busy schedules this is a dream come true. I have been researching robotic vac, however, I was very skeptical. After thorough researching, I returned to my local store and was fortunate enough to test the "Roomba". I was very impressed and could not believe how easy it is to program. Most impressive was that I did not have to walk the vac, and would be able to perform other tasks, while my carpets were being cleaned. Amazing this cleans as well if not deeper than any caniser or upright I have owned.
Needless to say, I purchased one for my Mom, who is 89 years old. I...

I am so pleased with my roomba. It does a great job cleaning up after my family especially in the kitchen and dining room. It is easy to use and I can just set it and forget it. It cleans the rug under the table and then goes to the kitchen and picks up all the crumbs that our little dog Missie does not get first.
Also it does a great job in the bedroom. No more dust bunnies under the bed. I couldn't believe how much dust I had accumulated under the bed until I got the romba out and set it to work.
My children like to use it in their bedrooms. However it does have a problem with cleaning under...

A vacuum cleaning robot was a futuristic promise in 1953 when I started housekeeping. Finally, I have a Roomba. It goes places no other vacuum goes, makes enough noise so I don't trip over it, but not too noisy, and gets the carpet or floor mostly clean.
Getting at the debri inside Roomba that has been picked up is a challenge but worth it, compared to pushing and hauling other vacuums. One day, I'll have several and get the whole house done at once.
My husband calls it a "toy". Yeah.....and ain't that fun!!
I recieved the Roomba for a gift from my brother. He spends quite a bit of time at our house and thought it would be perfect for us. I have 2 dogs both yellow labs. The Roomba picks up the dog hair, but once it goes over the area rugs it leaves the dog hair on the edges of the rug. I feel it's faster to take out my old vacuum. I can't run it while I'm gone because the my girls ( the dogs) are SCARED TO DEATH of it. I would recommend it to friends that don't have dogs.
I purchased the Roomba due to being scheduled for surgery in early June. I knew that I would not be able to operate a regular vacuum for about 6 to 8 weeks post-op., and wise enough to also know that my husband and son would be less-than-thrilled with the prospect of doing the vacuuming for me during that time! Although the almost $300 price tag caused some hesitation with my decision, I ultimately concluded that the Roomba would be "worth its weight in gold" if it performed in the way in which I expected from an appliance priced at several hundreds of dollars! And, I am happy to report that it...
