Unexpectedly Good      I bought the Roomba for my husband, who is greatly bothered by the dog hair and birdseed mess we have all over the floor in the dining and living rooms. He also loves gadgets.
The first time we ran Roomba, it got clogged up and stopped running before it got back to its base. My husband cleaned it out really good, vacuumed the floors with the old vacuum cleaner so we would have less accumulation (assuming a week's worth was too much for it to deal with), and set Roomba to work in the middle of the night every night.
It works great! We have to remember to empty it daily, but it is very good at maintaining a clean floor for us and we never even hear it running.
Roomba      I love it. Although you should not try to sleep in the same room where the Roomba is working because it can be a bit noisy, it gets the work done. The walls it came with work great to keep the roomba away from any cables or areas where you don't want it to go. We call ours Lloyd and I am glad he is with us because at least one of us is cleaning the house. At the beginning Lloyd would get stuck under furniture or beep to get clean often (yes our apartment was dirty) but now he gets himself out of trouble and we only need to empty him at the end of the cleaning cycle.
I bought one for my mom a few months ago and she loves it too, although all her floors are tile, which is easier for the roomba to clean. If you have carpet it will take longer and the roomba may have to take a rest to charge in the middle of cleaning.
Hunk of Junk      I purchased this item and used it once a week for a couple of months. It took a long time to clean and was not thorough. It's especially poor on floors. The filters get clogged easily. I had to use my old vacuum to do a more thorough job. I then stopped using it for a while and kept it plugged in. I tried to use it after this inactivity. The battery was dead and could not be re-charged. As it was an old model Roomba would not replace the battery. They would give me 15% off the $85 price to replace the battery. I considered it until one CS rep told me the whole unit was probably bad due to the long charging with no use. He suggested buying a new unit. I am throwing the hunk of junk out and going back to my Kenmore.
Effective, fun, but with some minor drawbacks      Well, I bought one of these a few months ago, and I have to say that I'm rather satisfied with the purchase. The Roomba succeeds in being both a cool geek toy and also a practical way to keep an area cleaner.
As a vacuum, it is considerably less powerful than a standard corded variant. It has neither the holding capacity or the power. But it makes up for this in other ways.
I've got it set to go off three times a week at this point, using it twice a week on my living room, and once a week on my bedroom and hallway. At this point the carpet is much cleaner than it used to be, the cat hair is largely gone, and my sinuses are considerably clearer.
I've had no maintenance issues and encountered no defects so far.
Pluses:
1. Can fit under low areas, such as under beds, sofas, and chairs.
2. Can be scheduled to go off when you're absent.
3. Effectively covers the entirety of a small or mid-sized room.
4. Is really fun to watch.
5. Does not require supervision or direct efforts.
Minuses:
1. Requires several uses to match one solid vacuuming with a cord vac.
2. Rooms require some preparation before the Roomba can be used. Extension cords, throw rugs, and small objects need to be removed from the floor.
3. Requires the dust pan to be emptied and filter/rollers to be cleaned after each use.
iRobot Roomba      This is a great product. The floors have never been so clean. It's great how you can set a timer for it to do its task, usually while everyone is out of the house at work or something. I have a cat that sheds constantly and it was a hassle finding tufts of fur around the house the day after vacuuming and now there is hardly ever any fur to find under the tables and even our very low sitting coffee table. I highly recommend it, especially to people with hardwood floors like us.
