I"m In Love! April 15, 2008
I first fell in love with the little red guy when we bought a second home totally carpeted! Wow! I have bad knees and this little fellow ran right under the king sized bed both here and in our second home. It cleaned the carpet, it cleaned the bare wood floors. Ii gave me a little tune if it were stuck.

Believe me, I have an Orek and I have had numerous other stand up vacuums and a Rainbow (very cumbersome but excellent!} I use the Rainbow on the carpeted stairs in our three story townhouse.

My husband loves the roomba quite as much as me since he is often the key vacuum driver.

I carried the little red in the car from San Antonio to Arlington Virginia. I then bought the 4210! Even better! Its bigger so it covers more area before needing to power up. Now I am planning to buy the next newer model! I want the one that watches out for oriental carpet fringe. We have a three floor town house and two of the floors have lots of oriental rugs on wood floors.

I want a roomba I can turn lose and not worry about fringe frazzle or falling down stairs!
We keep our units plugged in all the time per directions to increase the life of the batteries. I have had little red for over 3 years and no problems. Roomba 4210 is over two years now. No problems.

One observation. I clean the roombas carefully, to include wiping out all dust with a paper towel (use a wooden handle to slide in a paper towel envelope). I always remove the filter, clean it of dust, and wash gently with Ivory Liquid and carefully blot dry, then let dry for several hours.

This is the greatest labor saving device since the dishwasher! bhart9@comcast.net

I've purchased this unit 2 months ago and I still can't get this unit to work. They have sent me 1 new Irobot and now a new power cord and base. I would not recommend this unit to anyone. It does not WORK!!

This thing is GREAT! April 4, 2008
I had seen Roomba at my brothers place. All of the sudden his floors were clean everytime we would visit. I asked him if he had hired a cleaning service and he said "no, we bought a Roomba". He showed me all the things Roomba can do, and explained some of the problems one might encounter, and said he would buy it again without hesitation. Well that sold me. I bought the second generation Roomba 4210 Discover, refurbished. Delivery was quick! It was waiting for me when I came home, I sat down on the floor as soon as I shut the front door and began unpacking it. My husband read the "correction manual" while I unpacked and put everything together. Roomba was up and running in no time at all. We did a little "test" run and were(mostly just me)very excited. I set the schedule to run every-other day, but we have decided that everyday is better. We have two long hair cats, need I say more?
Anyway, Roomba does the job without a problem. I have a couple of throw rugs with fringed edges that I pick up, and couple of times a week I pick up the dining room chairs so he can get under the table. We haven't played with the artificial walls yet, as they require 'D' cell batteries, we just close some doors for now. It's easy to use and set-up is a breeze.
It's a terrific investment for those who like a clean house when they come home and don't have a lot of time to do the work :)

Come home everyday to clean carpets and floors March 22, 2008

We love our roomba! However, be warned: DO NOT BUY FROM EBAY. We had 2 bad experiences. The first one was never shipped. The second one was advertised as new but came broke. Luckily my husband is a handyman and fixed it. Roombas are known for breaking down after a couple of years. The ones on ebay are bound to be old broken ones. If you want to save money, buy a new roomba without all the frills. Or buy a re-furbished roomba.
For anyone thinking about what accessories to get, here are my observations:

Self charging home base:
This is neat when it works. It is nice to come home and see the roomba sleeping on its charger. However, finding it and putting it on the charger is not difficult. Also, the self charging home base does not work well on carpets. The roomba can't get up onto the charger.

Virtual walls:
These are nice but if you have tables, laundry baskets or chairs, you can easily create your own around your house. I thought we would need one to protect some of our cords but we really didn't. In general the roomba senses a cord there and doesn't go over it. I do use 2 for the downstairs and block off 2 hallway entrances. However, I could easily push a chair over or line up shoes or anything to block off the entrance.

I can't think of any other accessories that we have or that would really be necessary.
The roomba cleans our hard floors better than I ever could with a broom. It cleans up carpet pretty well but NOT as good as a vacuum would, but that is to be expected. It has difficulty getting over some throw rugs. I am impressed at all the areas it gets into. I have a loft with some weights sitting on the floor. It will bump into all the weights and get clean as much as it can without ever getting caught up in any of my cables, weights or bands. It gets under my desk easily, which is hard with a vacuum. It traces along walls. I hope the edges of my carpets near the wall stay cleaner now. It gets caught on shoe strings, strings on clothes or any small fabric. Also, the brush gets hair wrapped around it pretty easily. I wonder if I had gotten one for pet hair that it would handle that better. The brush, filter and obviously the dirt bin need cleaned regularly. That honestly is the most work you have to do for the roomba.
Our roomba provides hours of entertainment. It is definitely neat to watch it work. It is so nice to keep carpets somewhat clean everyday. I don't feel like I vacuum one day then the house gets dirty by the next! And I WILL NEVER BROOM AGAIN! Definitely get one, they are worth it.

I love my Roomba March 22, 2008
I love my Roomba. It's great setting it to go when we leave and coming back to a clean floor. The downsides are having to empty it after every clean, and having to clean the brushes and wheels fairly frequently. We do not have the scheduler which I think would be a nice addition. Also the infra-red room dividers are very useful. Roomba does not deal with very large spaces efficiently, so we usually set it in a single room/area.

This would be a great, unusual baby shower gift. No new parents have time to clean the floors. Also our 1 year old loves it and enjoys watching it work.
