When I can get it to actually vacuum the room its works great but its almost like a bug. Always scampering under furniture and into corners. It also likes chair legs and going in circles around them. It will run its battery down in these areas rather than vacuuming the wide open spaces. it's quite often maddening!!!!

Received a 20% off coupon code from playing HSN's Birthday Game so it ended up being cheaper then the other "event priced" roombas here. I gave my 1st one to my sister who has a shedding dog, its the same 500 series however does not have the scheduling feature that this one has. Love the Roomba! The brick color faceplate is an added bonus, that against the black looks fantastic! Thanks HSN!
