I love my robot. I wanted one for years and was so glad I decided to finally get one. I have the 500 series with the on board scheduling which is the best feature I think because you can set it and forget it.
I was very surprised at how much this lil guy picks up. Between 5 girls with very long hair, a dog and a cat, plus a 2 yr old grand daughter, the carpet ends up with everything on it and this robot gets it all and its still charged and can go another round if i wanted it to.
This is the greatest invention ever and IT REALLY DOES WORK!!!!. The only place I have to vac the old way is the steps. Now if the robot did steps too, wowwwwwww, but i see that being done in the future, only because it does everything else now.
Try it, you will not be disappointed, i promise. Im so sorry I did not buy this lil guy years ago.

This little robot is amazing and does a GREAT job. I can't believe I waited so long. My adult son even keeps his room picked up so Roomba can do his thing. I was apprehensive when the box arrived, thinking that now I had to get through pages of directions. Not true at all. This is something they never talk about on TV. Just unpack and go. I LOVE this thing. I'm back today to order one for my elderly parents. They love it, too.

I have MS and have a very hard time walking. My kids do help me around the house but they are typical kids. They named this vaccum Harmony. Harmony is a great help to me. It never says no or later I'll do it. It takes it time and always but always makes sure to get along the walls. It is worth every penny.

My husband had purchased the SCOOBA several years ago and once we worked out a few minor kinks with it, WOW! I've often seen this item on HSN and thought about it. Finally I told my husband to keep an eye out, if it was as good as the SCOOBA I would be thrilled. No need to worry because it is! I have it on a schedule and off it goes on my carpet. I have a cat and I was amazed at how much hair she leaves around each day. I also use it on my kitchen floor(ceramic tile) between SCOOBA washings.
