I have just joined the ranks of Roomba owners!

Date of Review:  Aug 9, 2008
The Bottom Line: Good value for the money. Once you buy one, you'll be hooked.
Review: I've been interested in the Roomba since it first came out, but back then, I felt like it was probably a good idea to wait and see how it did for a while before buying one. I'm glad I waited, because this 5th. generation Roomba 530 seems to have...

Cleans well, avoids stairs, saves time...
Cons
Really should include spare brushes...

Fussy, but worth it

Date of Review:  Jun 1, 2009
The Bottom Line: I like the Roomba, it works well. But it takes maintenance and you will still want to have another vacuum around.
Review: The bottom line:

I recommend the Roomba but it definitely is a finicky device.

Details:

Purchased Feb 08. At that point I had a cat and two floor home of around 1100 square feet. Carpeting is a typical low pile carpeting...

Works ok, but just not for me...

Date of Review:  Dec 13, 2008
The Bottom Line: I would cautiously recommend it if you have no pets or pets that don't shed much. Otherwise, it may require more frequent care, negating your time savings.
Review: I have two cats, one who sheds pretty feverishly. I ran the Roomba once every day. While it did keep the carpet and floors consistently cleaner than vacuuming once per week, the biggest problem I had was with required maintanence.

I had to...

Now I never have to clean again!

Date of Review:  Dec 28, 2007
The Bottom Line: I would recommend this vacuum for anyone who is looking for convienience.
Review: Ever since the Roomba was introduced I was intrigued. Anything that can help me around the house is worth any amount of money. My kids and job keep me so occupied that I never have time for anything, so this was really neat when I first heard about...

I'm vacuuming right now....

Date of Review:  Jan 17, 2008
The Bottom Line: Everyone needs a Roomba, especially this 5th generation. They'll become as common as dishwashers.
Review: Oh, this Roomba is wonderful. My mother has one of the earlier models, and one of the best improvements of the 500 series is that instead of deciphering "uh-oh" beeps to know what the Roomba needs, it speaks! "Please clean the brushes," it says,...

Good Job Roomba

Date of Review:  Oct 25, 2008
Review: It seems iRobot has delivered on its promise of convenience. We have a dog who sheds constantly, but we simply didn't have time to vacuum as often as we'd like to keep up with all the dog hair.
Our roomba cleans about as well as most upright...

Save your money until they get the bugs worked out

Date of Review:  May 5, 2008
Review: I've owned the 530 for 3 days now. Within 20 minutes of first use, the side brush unit fell off. I reattached twice more and even changed rooms. Even in a small room with no obstacles and a hardwood floor, the side brush continued to fall off. There...

Unhappy and Returned

Date of Review:  Mar 9, 2008
Review: I bought this with great enthusiasm. I am a techie myself, and was very interested in giving this product a shot to prove itself. Unfortunately it falls short for my purposes.

My primary reason for returning this item was the tangled mess...
