Frankly, I thought the Roomba was the answer to all my dog hair problems. Unfortunately, that's not the case. I must admit that it gets up lots of dirt, but does not do that great a job on dog hair. In fact, it tends to deposit the dog hair in different places along with picking it up which seems odd to me. I'll keep it because it's better than dragging out the heavy vacuum cleaner every day. I'll rate it as OK.

I waited to review until I had a chance to get to really use the Roomba. It has gotten stuck a couple of times but for the time and energy it saves, I can live with that. I have learned to position the lighthouses to avoid the places where it will get stuck. Now that I have it, wouldn't want to be without it. I have several cats and it really gets the cat hair out of my carpet. It really looks like your carpets were professionally cleaned. I have light beige carpet and just love the way it looks after the Roomba does its job. Great item! Anything that makes my jobs easier, I am all for it!

The only reason I give it a 4 instead of 5 is because it is great for light vacuuming. I progrqammed it to run automatically 3 days a week which has made life much easier. You must remember to empty the dirt receptacle and if you aren't home when it runs you have to make sure cords or loose items are out of the way so it doesn't get caught in the unit. I haven't vacuumed in ages so that makes it worth it completely!!

This 560 Roomba is the first I have owned. It cleans whatever area you put it in throughly and the virtual walls are great too if one chooses to use them.
The dust and dirt that comes out of the filter is amazing and the floors and carpet are spotless.
It's my best friend.

I vacuum everyday and was shocked at what it picked up! The wood floors, carpets, area rugs, corners (surprisingly)all clean! It moved through the carpet fringe and cords with surprising ease. Did a great job moving from carpet to lower wood floor and back up to the carpet. I have Great Danes and all the dog hair, was absolutely gone! The only thing is that I wish the dirt bin was larger, but you can buy the accessory through the irobot site and have plans to do that.

I LOVE my iRobot because it makes life easier. This thing even picks up the plastic tag holders and my Shih tzu's fur. My old vac which was quite expensive would not get up the plastic tag holders and or all my dog's fur. After the cleaning cycle is over my carpets look as though they have been professionally cleaned. Vinny Vac is very quiet and takes about a hour to clean my livingroom, sunroom, and bedroom.

Why buy an upright, when you can get more done with a Rhoomba? Bought a namebrand upright, and it worked for only 6 months. Spent so much time trying to unplug the thing, we finally gave up, and trashed it, and decided to get a second Rhoomba. The robot simply works better. So you have to clean out the brushes, and empty the bin, same basic maintenance with any other vaccuum, and small price to pay for something that truly works great. Nothing else gets the dog hairs up like the Rhoomba.

Love this machine! I have 2 cats, and it picks up so much dirt, it is amazing. I do not leave it unattended - I think that may be asking for disappointment, as it may get stuck or need to have tray emptied, but generally it does the job on it's own while i do something else. what a time saver and my house is much cleaner. I have oriental rugs and it does NOT tangle in fringe which is a problem for my regular vacuum. Also own the scooba and totally love it for hardwood and tile floors. great products!! better than my cleaning lady, and she was good!

I purchased a Roomba 560 because I was diagnosied with Fibromylgia and vaccuming was exhausting. I am amazed what thorough job it does, runs over cords and never gets tangled, I is so smart it goes back to its docking station to recharge or lets you know what it needs. I love the fact that I can program it and it cleans at a set time, day...I would recommend this Roomba to anyone...sit back and enjoy life, the best investment I have ever made and it works.

The first week or so, it seemed really great...but then it started going around in circles and just didn't clean correctly. Wanted to love it, but had to send it back.

Very dissatisfied. Would not clean oriental carpets with black patterns. Cliff sensors get confused and it runs in circles not getting anywhere. Called Roomba support and they said there was nothing that could be done about the problem and they already knew about it. Really unhappy that they didn't mention that drawback before I ordered it. Entire purchase, return and try out experience would have been unnecessary.

This is the first time I've been so impressed with an item to write a review. This little gem is the best thing I've brought into the house since we brought home our precious kitty, Ben. It picks up all his hair and makes the rug look like the cleaning person has been here. What a great product. Highly recommend it. Besides, it's a kick to watch it run back to its base.

I'm not happy with this product overall.It does not pick up pine needles off carpet or dog hair on wood floors.It is inclined to blow the hair to other areas and not find it.It does a good job on a wide expanse of carpet or hardwood,but I've used this for a couple of weeks and I have to go around after it's finished with a dust devil and get what its missed.Also,I only seem to get an hour or so out of each charge.It has also gotten caught up on my coffee table legs and got stuck.I'm disappointed

Must tell how wonderful this machine is. It does everything they display on HSN and I just can't say enough praise on this item. The best thing for me is if I can't vacuum I just press a button and off it goes for me. It can even reach under the furniture for me which has been horrible for me to do as get older. Thank you for this product.

I bought this Roomba for my wife a couple of months ago. We tried itfor about a month and it could not even finish 1 room without recharging. Then it would go passed the zones setup and we constantly had to cleanout the rollers. We have an Siberian Husky and they do shed alot. Maybe its just to much to ask that this little vacuum to clean the floor in 1 room before needing recharged. I guess that we expected to much of the Roomba. It just can't keep up with our floor vacuum.

Wow this product is unbelievable!!! I would give it a 5 star except it does have a little problem with going up on to large floor rugs. Other than that it is GREAT!!!!
I have Two dogs and it does a wonderful job, it lets me know when to clean the brushes with the hair.
So my only request for the manufactures is to get it to go up and over the floor area rugs. Thank you for my making my life a little easier.
