1 out of 4 found this review helpful

OK, I BOUGHT A REFURBISHED IROBOT FOR LIKE 75.00 A YEAR AND AHALF AGO. WORKED GREAT. IT DID SHUT OFF AND START GETTING CRAZY SOMETIMES BUT I WOULD CLEAN IT RESTART IT AND GOOD TO GO..LIKE EVERYTHING ELSE YOU GET TIRED OF IT OR EVEN FORGET YOU HAVE IT..I FOUND MY IROBOT UNDER MY DAUGTHERS BED YESTERDAY AND THOUGHT WOULD BE GREAT TO USE IT UNDER MY BED WHICH IS FULL OF DUST MONSTERS..LOL..I CHARGED IT AND OMG!!! IN ONE SWEEP IT LEFT MY FLOOR SPOTLESS. I COULDNT BELIEVE THAT THE DARN THING STILL WORKED. I COULD NOT HAVE IMAGINED SWEEPING UNDER MY BED (ALOT OF AIRBORNE DUST) SO I THOUGHT OF MY IROBOT AND IT WORKED..SORRY I FORGOT ABOUT YOU FRIEND! YOU ARE PRICELESS!!! IM CURRENTLY PURCHASING THE SCUBA!

I really like the Roomba 410. I especially like the fact that it gets
under my beds. That was always the hardest part of cleaning.

Had a Roomba (silver I think) for a year before it "died". Bought two refurbished "reds" from Amazon about two years ago. Now don't get excited, they did sit idle for almost a year (don't ask why). I have them both out again and am using them on alternating days. They do a fine job picking up cat hair, dog hair and general dirt from carpet, hardwood floors, terrazzo, and linoleum. I use them throughout my whole house and love that they keep my floors TIDY.

Using Roomba gives me the extra time and energy needed to actually mop my floors weekly...something that did not happen when I had to run a vacuum cleaner and broom around my whole house. I clean the brushes after each use (not a big deal if you do it often) and empty the lint filter many times throughout each use (I have a LONG-haired cat!). Not a big issue, whenever I walk by it, I empty it. In the meantime, I can do laundry, do some exercises, pay bills, play on the internet, multitasking at its best.

I have my fingers crossed that these will LAST, but recognize from my own experience and these reviews, that Roomba seems to have a lifespan of little over a year of use. Still, for me, it is worth it. My floors are far cleaner than they would be and it is still cheaper than weekly maid service. I took away stars because you never know if you will get a "lemon" or not with this company and because the lifespan is so incredibly short. It doesn't make sense to spend more than $100 on one of these...so look for sales/deals! I believe I bought it 2 for the price of 1.

Roomba 410 July 27, 2008
12 out of 12 found this review helpful

I love my Roomba 410 to death.
This is one of the cheaper version, but it fits my particular situation. A small apartment, tile floor, uncluttered. Under those conditions, this thing works great. I run it once a day, and my floor is cleaner than it's ever been. It can't reach edges and so it leaves a tiny strip around edges, so every once in a while I run the fine-tipped suction tube of my old carpet cleaner around all the edges to get that.
The bottom line is that is now easy to have an apartment with clean floors. Put the Roomba down, it does its thing for an hour and quits, pick it up and clean it, put it back on the charger and you're done. Cleaning requires a grand total of three minutes, so whereas I once vacuumed once a month, I now vacuum once a day.
And my floors are clean, and they STAY that way.
I have some extension cords down but it NEVER gets stuck on cords. It'll drag the cords around but it has never gotten stuck. It's amazing to watch this thing go into a tight spot, bounce around cleaning, and come right back out.(I've done some programming. The program in this thing has got to be VERY sophisticated.) It gets under beds, tables, and chest of drawers, no problem. I don't have any rugs so can't say anything about how it handles rugs.
I have two cats. This thing picks up cat hair by the ton. The cats get used to it in about a week.
Replacement batteries appear to be expensive, but I've already got a line on a place that reconditions batteries, and the present battery will probably last until the warranty expires.
For my small apartment (around 500 square feet) the seven-hour-to-charge battery is as effective as the three-hour-charge battery, because it can all gets done on one charge. Besides, as a chemist I've got a feeling the seven-hour battery is likely to last longer.
Initially, the first three or four days, expect this thing to pick up a ton of dirt. In fact, on first use I recommend stopping it halfway through the run and emptying it. With daily use, the normal load will drop to a little dirt and cat hair. Depending on traffic in the room(kids, you know.I have no kids.), of course.
I believe the next cheaper model does NOT have the dirt sensor. (The dirt sensor is a thing that detects it has hit a particularly dirty spot. When this happens, the Roomba will stop and pay particular attention to that spot. It'll flash a little blue light in outraged indignation while it circles around cleaning that spot.) I recommend getting the dirt sensor (which my Roomba has). In my opinion, a Roomba is much more efficient when it can detect it has hit a dirty spot.
I already know I want one those Scooba thingies, too.

Watch Roomba clean for you! July 11, 2008
9 out of 9 found this review helpful

I know Roomba has been around for a couple of years and this is an entry level model. It does an amazing job! It will run around the house and clean while you watch TV or just sit around and watch Roomba cleaning! I love it! However, if you have a little more cash to spare, go with a higher model that has something called a home base. This one you have to plug it in to charge and unplug it and push the buttons so that it can start working. If you have a big house or your place is full of dust/hair (like mine), it might run out of battery mid way and get stuck. The one with a home base is smart enough to go back to the base to recharge before it runs out of battery. (If you played laser tag before, it's a similar concept - fight - go back to base to charge - and go out to fight more till the battle is over)
Either way, get a Roomba - this basic model or a fancier model with a home base! :)
