4 out of 5 stars If you buy used, Read this!!!   June 25, 2008
Alright, if you have hard wood, this is your dream! If you have shag or low pile, it really won't work well.
Now here is the Used buyer beware. I had not had a roomba before, and 30 mins after taking him out of the box, I was expert. First thing you need to do with a used machine is take the filter out! Take it out, and clean it cause people dont do that EVER! Second, take the brushes off. Can you get them off and on? Do they fit your machine? Are they dirty? In short, know your machine BEFORE you try to use it. After the purchase of a broken robot (i fixed him) AND another robot, I can say with assurance that the filter was NASTY both times. You say I am being to harsh? If your upright vac wont suck, would you empty the bag? If you check the filter, roomba should work well used.


1 out of 5 stars Beware of used Roomba's!   May 29, 2008
We purchased a used Roomba Discovery on Amazon recently. It was advertised as being in like new condition. We charged the battery according to the instructions we found on iRobot's website. After being fully charged we tried to use it. It ran for a total of five minutes before the battery died. After a lot of trial and error and reading about the vacuum online we discovered that the battery should have been removed before being shipped. If you leave the battery inside the robot for a significant amount of time without vacuuming it will ruin the battery. Actually, in this case it ruined the entire vacuum. iRobot recommended we get our money back because nothing could be done to repair this robot.

First, I love the Roomba. It works as advertised and cleans places hard to reach with regular vacs. You'll need to do your own "inside" corners though as the round form does not reach there.

Second, be prepared for a short life: Forget that old GE vacuum that your mom ran with for over twenty years. My little cleaning robot croaked after two years. It just stopped re-charging, even after I popped for a new $40 battery, thinking that was the problem. Web searches had no real answer for this somewhat common issue.

After working through IRobot customer service's standard suggestions, they finally said they'd sell me a replacement model if I'd return the old one to them. However, their reduced price along with the price for a not-included new power supply was more than a new unit from Amazon.

So, I'm the proud owner of a new Roomba, which goes to show how lazy I am about vacuuming. Now I'm waiting for the "Fool me twice..." adage to kick in.

This was a great product while it lasted, which wasn't very long. The manufacturer did not stand behind their product,even though they knew it had problems. We had relatives who also bought this product. Theirs had the same trouble. It worked great for a short time and then quit. I do not recommend this product!


5 out of 5 stars Great Product! Performs exactly as described.   April 27, 2008

Having been a Roomba owner for several years now this model is an excellent product that performs its duties quite well.

Pros
- if ran regularly, i.e. weekly, it keeps the floors very clean.
- very easy to clean, dump bin & blowing out excess dust w/ canned air
- battery life more than sufficient to clean largest rooms
- hackable for those more adventurous types

Cons
- one must periodically perform manually vacuuming tasks to clean those nooks & crannies the Roomba cannot reach
- edge sensors causes black carpets to blow your Roomba's mind!
- loud enough to make watching TV w/ running Roomba irritating
