Don't be skeptical - Reviewed on 2008-08-20
This is a really great product. The only reason I hadn't bought one before was the price point. After two weeks of twice a day use, I wish I'd have bought one sooner.
We have a multi-level house with tile, carpet, and wood floors. We also have two black labs that come inside at least weekly and three kids, so our floors need constant cleaning. This vacuum was the best investment. We can set it to clean one level while doing laundry or dishes and in thirty minutes, the floors are clean. After a couple of hours on the charger, the light is green and we can vacuum another level. It's been a HUGE time saver.
Pros: It really does what it advertises -- cleans automatically with no human interference. Relatively quiet (much quieter than a regular vacuum) especially on carpets. Battery runs for about 45 to 60 minutes, so it can clean two average sized rooms (about 900 sf) on a single charge. Goes in between chair legs, and under end tables where a stand up vacuum can't. Sturdy! Fell down our stairs twice without a dent or ding.
Cons: As with all vacuums, you need to clean up loose items, toys, shoes, etc. before you clean. With the Roomba, you have to watch out for things that you can avoid with a manual vacuum that the Roomba won't (i.e. cords, tassels, etc.) It tries to avoid stairs, but noses over a little and occasionally, it will fall off if it can't get good enough traction to back away. We use the virtual wall to keep it away from the stairs.
