Works really well and also vacuums in the spots you normally can’t reach: under the bed and other pieces of furniture. This is a game-changer. I run it about 5x a week and so my floors are always clean. Love it!

Here are a few tips if you're thinking about getting a Roomba (which you should!)1. Wait until Prime Day or an equivalent sale. I bought this model for $220 (tax included). If you live in the Seattle area, watch out for the Amazon deals - Amazon vans will park random places for one day only to offload products at a steep discount. The Roomba is a regular for that rotation - I've seen this model sold for $140.2. Do not buy cheap knockoff versions for replacement parts on Amazon. Buy only iRobot products (from them directly if possible). There are a lot of versions of fake products from Chinese companies sold on Amazon. These parts are crappy and could impact the performance / lifetime of your Roomba. One example of that is the replacement air filters. The cheaper versions do not seal correctly, so dust gets into the small cracks and other mechanisms within the machine. Replacing your vaccum will cost a lot more than a $10 air filter.3. Clean your air filter with a toothbrush after each use to reduce the clog of dust. Replace the filter every 3 months.4. Do a deep cleaning of your Roomba every 6 months. Use a mini flathead and a small phillips to take off the front cover (you'll need to take off the small, yellow spinning brush first using the small flathead). Be careful because the threads of the tiny screw are mounted in plastic casing. Very easy to strip. Clean out all the hair around the small screw that attaches the spinning brush (after 6 months, this can cause the brush to stop spinning - 90% of the time, it's just hair - side note - this motor is also replacable for only $15 on the iRobot website).I've noticed a fair amount of negative reviews discussing the shelf life of Roombas. People are making comments like "My cats killed our Roomba" etc. I'd like to set the record straight for this awesome company. Basically, in life, you can't get things for free. You can't expect your car, for instance, to function well over time without regular maintainence. Most people hate car maintanance, so it has become widely accepted for most people to pay someone to fix / clean their car. And, for most people this makes a lot of sense. We'd rather spend our time doing other things besides changing the oil, checking the tires, checking the radiator, maintaining the engine and so on.For vaccums, the mechanics are much less complex than a car. However, they still incur a ton of wear and tear like dirt, cat hair, female hair, dust, and eveything else that lands on the floor. Over time, even the best vaccum will break or need repairs if it is not well maintained. In the old days, we had vaccum repair shops because people hated working on their vaccums. Then, everything possible became automated and outsourced. We could have Roomba repair shops that cost $30 to do a tune up of your Roomba. People would probably pay it. But, rest assured, the same people complaining about paying for that would be the same people who complained about the amazing Roomba - the vaccum that does its job with very little work from the human. The only thing is doesn't do well is clean itself. What we need is a cat Roomba.My closing thought is this one. Spend one hour every three months maintaining your Roomba, and you will save yourself 50+ hours a year (a whole work week) of vaccuming. That's very simple math, but it will require some effort on the part of the human. I purchased mine on Prime Day 8 months ago. I did my first deep clean (along with the regular air filter cleaning with each use) and she is gently purring like the first day I discovered her :-).I do not own securities in iRobot or work for them. This review is completely of my own writing.

Our roomba runs daily, and we always pick up labrador fur.

It’s quieter than my original 12 year old Roomba. It cleans just as well but more aesthetically pleasing. I run both Roomba daily in different areas of the house. I’m glad and thankful for my Roomba, it preserves my already painful back!

Works well

Make sure all your cords and cables are picked up off the floor and you still should vacuum every other week or so with a real vacuum and if you have cats you're going to have to clean the hair out of it a cat brush works really well for removing the hair from the vacuum brush. This thing is amazing it cleans the vinyl tiles and the carpet this. The back door area where my cat box is at after I've cleaned the cat box I left the cat box up out of the area set the vacuum down there press the go button and it takes off and cleans the perfectly when it's done it lets me know I pick it up set it on the kitchen floor hit home and it drives right back to the home station docks itself most days it has no problem at all every once in awhile. Someone will leave a wire on the floor for a cell phone and it will eat it. But all you have to do is flip it over push the two little yellow tabs and it easily comes apart a little spinner brush is easily removed with a small Phillips head screwdriver the filter in the compartment that holds the dirt pops right out in his easily rinseable even if this thing only lasts a year it was worth the money to buy it because I don't have to vacuum But like once a month. Between my son who is 12 and my cat I felt like I was spending every day sweeping the kitchen floor from my son dropping food particles everywhere and the cat tracking cat litter up the stairs and all over the kitchen floor. Again worth every penny. I'm thinking about buying a second one for the second floor of the house.

I love this robot vacuum! My floors have never been cleaner, and it’s never been easier. I love the app, where I can schedule cleaning times, read about maintenance and order replacement parts as needed.

Easy to use cleaning dynamo. I’m convinced that this thing sneaks outside, because every day it seems to find a good load of crud that I can’t figure out where it comes from. So it’s either doing it’s job very well, or is very clever about justifying its job. Either way it deserves 5 stars.
