Have a dog and a toddler...this vacuum is for you!

With very little time on my hands, a shedding dog and messy toddler this vacuum is a savior when I don't need to deep clean every floor in my house. He (yes it has a name too!) basically sucks up all the loose/visible dirt and crumbs that I don't have time to get. The barriers are great when you just want one/two rooms cleaned but I find closing doors more effective with children who can move things!

I love this vacuum! I was somewhat skeptical when I received it from my inlaws as a gift. I does a great job on our wood floors, open concept house. Picks up dirt, pet hair, even kitty litter. A bit noisy so I tend to run it when I am out of the house.

This is really good for maintaining a clean floor - it doesnt do the entire job for you, but will help to maintain after you've swept, and mopped.

I dont think its an essential that everyone needs to have in their homes as it is quite expensive!

This item should be a common household item for any house with kids or pets! You can set it on a schedule or for whenever you want it to give a quick clean!

If there's one thing I hate doing it's chores that have no end. So in my opinion the Roomba is one of the greatest inventions out there. I was hesitant to buy because they are pricey for a vacuum but now that I have it, I could never go back! The time savings make it worth every penny! And with a large shedding dog, it's great to be able to run it daily. I live in an apartment so it has no problem handling my space, although a regular house would probably require one of the larger size models. It is a bit loud so I usually put it on while I'm doing other chores or right as I'm leaving the house but I wouldn't sit down and try to watch tv with it running.

Definitely a situation where I didn't know how much I needed something until I got it. I have the new model Roomba - and I call her 'the maid'. I have hardwood and area rugs - and I also have 3 cats. I have always vacuumed 1x a week - right now 'the maid' is cleaning the floors every second day - and I can't believe how much she picks up! I love how the unit avoids the basement stairs, is really smart and comes with 2 laser units to block it from going into a space or area, can transition from one area to another seamlessly, has enough charge to clean the whole 1200sq foot space and go under most low furniture, is easy to empty out the dirt, is sturdy, easy to program, returns to the docking station every time, and is really easy to use in every way - even when the spinning brush stopped spinning (long hairs tangled up over time) I just needed a coin and 2 minutes to fix it. The only concern will be the cost of replacing the little filters is the dirt compartment - but I'll vac those to get more use out of them. I think it pays for itself in the easy, stress-free, clean it gives

We have a small, two room loft (bathroom + everything else) with laminate flooring and a big rug. This roomba is like a maid! It can be programmed to clean the whole place while you are at work, and will find its way back to the docking station. If it gets trapped (ours likes to shut itself in the bathroom if we forget to leave the door open), it beeps and gives up. Highly recommend. Keeps the floors totally clean except for the very corners with regular use!

I love my Roomba - I even named him, I know it's a little weird. It is one of the single best things I have ever purchased! I picked up the better model which you can set the program for the time you'd like it do to the cleaning, typically I set this little guy when I am not home since he is a bit noisy and then when I come home... ta-da floors are relatively clean. Dust and dog hair is a constant battle in my house, I simply don't have the time to vacuum everyday and I won't allow my house to become a war-zone of dog hair and dust. This little guy helps keep the house clean and mommy happy! What more can a girl ask for!
Downside - price, I think the model I purchased was a bit over $600 but after almost daily use for about two years without doing much maintenance to it, I am happy to say that the investment has more than paid itself off. Would definitely re-purchase again if necessary

My husband surprised me when he came home with this product. I had seen it on the store shelves and read about it. But with two kids leaving their toys around and two dogs shedding their hair I wasn't certain it would be effective. Well let me tell you I was in for a pleasant surprise. We set the timer so it would run while we were sleeping. It took two or three nights for it to accurately learn the layout of our home but since then it has been smooth sailing. I wake up to start my day and the floors are spotless. Let me tell you, it feels great to wake up to a clean house every day. So not only it is effectively cleaning my floors every day. But it is also helping me start each day feeling relaxed and happy. The price tag is a little steep at $350 (Costco Canada) but the pay off is well worth the investment!

We did have one small problem with a tire getting stuck. But the Roomba announces an error message clearly identifying the problem and Roomba customer service was great to help us rectify the problem.

Very satisfied with this product!

A bit in the expensive side but oh so worth it!! Especially if your dad gets it for you for your birthday!! I have two cats and this little guy picks up all the hair and bits they leave behind. I love love love my roomba
