Product Description
The Roomba iRobot 430 Vacuum Cleaning Robot is not only easy-to-use, but it also includes an array of convenience features. Simply press the Clean button and the vacuum's artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts automatically from wood, tile, linoleum and low-to-medium pile carpet. Integrated sensors detect dirt and increases intensity of cleaning in that area. A three-stage cleaning system and a wide cleaning path uses counter-rotating brushes that scoop large debris into the dustbin and a vacuum to pick up fine particles, dirt and pet hair. Its edge-cleaning spinning side brush, combined with wall-following technology, removes dirt and debris from the base of walls, from corners, and other hard-to-reach places. The vacuum's stasis sensor detects when it's stuck and employs pre-programmed escape routines to free itself. Automatic Surface Transitioning - The entire cleaning head adjusts automatically for both carpet and hard floor surfaces Automatic Stair Avoidance System - Leave it by itself without worrying about it falling down your stairs 3x Bagless debris bin - Roomba's bagless bin now holds three times the dirt Wall following - Teamed with the side brush, clean right up to the walls Air Filter - Prevents dust and dirt from entering Roomba's vacuum system or your air Advanced Power System - Microprocessor-controlled charging system that provides up to 120 minutes of cleaning power 7-Hour Charger - Charge Roomba's batteries in seven hours Active Dirt Response - Detects dirtier areas and automatically increases the intensity of Roomba's cleaning Stasis Sensor - Immediately detects when it.s stuck and initiates its careful escape routine Cleaning Intelligence - Automatically calculates how long it needs to work to clean your entire room Dimensions - 18.3 x 14.9 x 4.7 Weight - 10 pounds

Great help! September 29, 2008
Well, first of all, I want to say that this is not a replacement for your regular vacuum cleaner!

That said, it is a great thing to have around. Let me give you some background information regarding my situation and use for this little machine...

I have 5 cats in a three-story townhome and need to vacuum my place a couple of times a week. Once a month, I have a cleaning lady who does a more thorough cleaning (and uses the regular vacuum), but I still need to do some vacuuming a couple of times a week because the carpet ends up covered with cat hair, dust, etc.

But I also work full-time and have about 2 1/2 hours of commute every day, so I really don't feel like spending the time vacuuming when I am home. That's why I bought this toy.

CONS

- To be honest, you should always have it running while you can keep an eye on it. The manual says it will learn the location and you only need to supervise it the first couple of times you use it, and it may very be that I will use it on different floors with different layouts alternatively so it doesn't get to learn the floor plan, but it has a tendency to get stuck on the same spots, so it's good to at least keep an ear on it while it works so you can come and rescue the little beast when it gets stuck.

- Also, the cleaning isn't as thorough as what you get with a full-sized, regular vacuum cleaner.

PROS

- Even if you need to keep an eye (or ear) on it, you can let it run around while you are doing other things that you need to do yourself, like the dishes, watching TV, playing cards, working on your bills, etc.

- It beats the hell out of having to pull the heavy and awkward vacuum cleaner out of the closet, drag it up and down the stairs and doing the vacuuming yourself!

All things considered, it was a great investiment! I know it's $150, but I would be paying the cleaning lady more than that extra per month if I had her coming over every week, as I had at my other place because the mess of hairs just used to get out of control.

Good luck! :)

Great! It's like having another pet, but it cleans up September 14, 2008
I really like this product. I bought it for my boyfriend because I thought he'd like a robot, and it would be funny, but we've ended up liking it much more than I anticipated. I have three dogs and a long haired cat, so our floors always seem dirty and we both hated lugging out the big vacuum. This little gadget is cute, fun, and doesn't upset our pets. It cleans much more thoroughly than I thought it would. It even seems to have a personality (we named him Rufus). Whenever a room looks dirty, we just take Rufus in and shut the door. A little while later, it's clean, like magic. Our dogs seem to tolerate it like an annoying puppy. They just stay out it's way while it's working. Very cool, if you like robots, because it's fun to watch how it navigates around obstacles. Also great if you have a lot of fur on your floors. Our house is mainly hard woods, with one carpeted room. It handles it all fine, and only occasionally gets hung up on throw rugs.

I really like the Roomba 410. I especially like the fact that it gets
under my beds. That was always the hardest part of cleaning.

Love my Roomba(s)....Hope they last! August 25, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Had a Roomba (silver I think) for a year before it "died". Bought two refurbished "reds" from Amazon about two years ago. Now don't get excited, they did sit idle for almost a year (don't ask why). I have them both out again and am using them on alternating days. They do a fine job picking up cat hair, dog hair and general dirt from carpet, hardwood floors, terrazzo, and linoleum. I use them throughout my whole house and love that they keep my floors TIDY.

Using Roomba gives me the extra time and energy needed to actually mop my floors weekly...something that did not happen when I had to run a vacuum cleaner and broom around my whole house. I clean the brushes after each use (not a big deal if you do it often) and empty the lint filter many times throughout each use (I have a LONG-haired cat!). Not a big issue, whenever I walk by it, I empty it. In the meantime, I can do laundry, do some exercises, pay bills, play on the internet, multitasking at its best.

I have my fingers crossed that these will LAST, but recognize from my own experience and these reviews, that Roomba seems to have a lifespan of little over a year of use. Still, for me, it is worth it. My floors are far cleaner than they would be and it is still cheaper than weekly maid service. I took away stars because you never know if you will get a "lemon" or not with this company and because the lifespan is so incredibly short. It doesn't make sense to spend more than $100 on one of these...so look for sales/deals! I believe I bought it 2 for the price of 1.
