Our Roomba's name is Hazel. She's our second one and we love them. She vacuums every day and I am always amazed at how much dirt she picks up. We have two large dogs (Wire Haired Pointing Griffons). I never noticed dog hair on the floor before, but when I open Hazel's dirt compartment, it looks like a small hairy animal in there. We have carpet, tile, laminate and rugs. She just zooms along and she LOVES to vacuum!

I have a heart condition and COPD. Over the years it's become almost impossible to vac. I decided to take a chance on the Roomba. It's the best thing I could've done for myself. It's wonderful. Do not hesitate, if you're on the fence. It cleans great, and cleans places I could never reach in good health! I'm breathing better because it's so easy to vac more often. Thank you M.I.T. and HSN.

The Roomba did exactly as described. I have a large house and it cleaned my tiled floors wonderfully. I will be certainly investing in other Roomba's for the garage, and mud room. I also will be following reviews on the Scooba. So far, it is a winner.

I have had my Roomba since July, and I can't believe I waited so long to get one!!
I have severe arthritis in my back, and just can't push a regular vacuum, or sweep, without severe pain. I also have large dogs (Weimaraners), who have short hair, but shed....a LOT!!!
I named my robot RITA, and she has been a blessing for me. I can only have her clean one room at a time, because the bin fills up pretty quickly with dog hair, but I don't care. We got rid of all the carpet in the house after we got flooded by Hurricane Katrina, and Rita just moves great over the bare terrazzo floors, and throw rugs we have.
I was so thrilled with mine, that I showed it to my friend, who has 5 Weimaraners in her home. She decided to order one, and is just thrilled with it. She used to pick up throw rugs and sweep every day......now her roomba ROVER does it for her.
Anyone who is in doubt, just order it.....you won't be disappointed. No more pain for me.....RITA does the work for me!!!!
Thank you iROBOT!!!!

I recently purchased the iRobot Roomba 500 series with the works and I absolutely LOVE it!! There are few things that make me happier these days, as I just recently lost my mother. But my iRobot, which I affectionately named Lizzy, literally puts a smile on my face each and every time "she" starts "doing her thing"! I highly recommend that every woman (or man) who wants to make sure your dwelling space is tight, get yourself one quick, fast and in a hurry!!!

I bought this for my mom who found that running a regular vacum was getting harder to complete everyday. The Roomba is awesome on pet hair. We have 4 cats and 4 dogs and this roomba gets it all. She runs it everyday and I vacum twice a week for her. I would so recommend this product and the flex pay makes it easier to own.

Once one can imagine that this will do it's job, you will not want to be without one, or perhaps several. We have no carpet, so floor cleaning is done often. Also have dogs, The only complaint I have is the brushes break a little often, easy to replace. The iRobot people are so friendly and easy to work with.

I was very skeptical about this product as I have never owned a "robot" before. However, I finally gave in and got it. I live in an apartment complex and I was really surprised at how much quieter this Roomba was compared to my old vacuum. It's nice to know I don't ever have to worry about pushing a broom or a vacuum again. This machine has saved me so much time and hassle, it's amazing! Now...3 months later, I don't know what I would do without it.

I have only had my roomba for 3 days but if it keeps working as well as it has so far, I will be a very satisfied customer!
I have a pomeranian and 4 cats. I hadn't run my dyson in about a week b/c I wanted to see how roomba would do. The first day I had to clean the brushes 2-3 times and I'm testing to see just how long until I don't have a whole lot of hair in the brushes (well, that might not ever actually happen!). I don't find cleaning the brushes too tedious. I did have to do online chat on iroomba.com because I didn't realize that the little yellow end on the brushes pops off and hair can get tangled up in there and I kept getting a "clean brush" signal and couldn't figure out why. Once I got that resolved, I was quickly back to watching my little machine buzz about cleaning while I play on the computer.
I'm hoping it cuts down on my husbands allergies and it's nice to know it's cleaning under the bed.
I love it!!!

Love the Roomba!! I feel like I have a maid that can run the vacuum for me. Great product and I highly recommend it. Easy to use and clean. I purchased additional virtual walls to make sure it stays in the desired room. I like one room at a time cleaning and have an open floor plan. LOVE IT!

I bought the iRobot for my mother and she absolutely loves this vacuum cleaner! It works great on her tile floors, rugs and carpet areas
She has named it and it has its special spot in her den.
It works for her very well.
My mom is very awesome woman. She keeps my 1 year old son while I go to school and she also keeps my sisters 3 month old daughter while she goes to work and she ALSO chases after her own 2 dogs Clancy and Buddy both Boston's (terrorist) as we call them.
My mother is not suppose to lift over 10 pounds because of a neck problem and vacuuming seemed to irritate the problem and the iRobot helps to take care of her so she can enjoy her grandchildren and life without it being a pain in the neck. Thank you for making her happy and healthy.

I was a little skeptical as to whether it would work.
It has saved me so much work
It's hard to push a regular vacumn as I get older.
I don't even program the Robot Roamba, all I do is push the clean button when I want it to vacumn and away it goes.
I love the fact that it cleans under my sofa and love seat, as well under my beds.
It very seldom gets caught on anything. Most of the time if it does, it is able to release itself.
I use it often, more than I would use the regular vacumn because it brings out the color in the nap in my rug, and it feels like I'm walking on cotton. The rug looks so clean.
It is something now that I couldn't do without.
HSN is spoiling me. Thank you HSN.

I was a bit skeptical about how well this small saucerlike robot would work, but I've been highly impressed. I have 2 cats and 2 dogs and this picks up fur better than my Oreck vacuum. I love that I can schedule it so that it works whenever I want it to. I would recommend the Roomba to anyone.

Have had mine for several months now. Best thing since sliced bread! The side brush gets very, very close to walls & cabinets. Have all hardwood and congolium with several large area rugs. Romba's intelligence is amazing, he takes care of them all fantastically. You won't regret it, you need this.
