 Love it! July 15, 2010

So I'm definitely one that researches the CRAP out of my technological products - my roomba maybe a little to the extreme. After reading the reviews there was a trend that they don't last too long - so I decided to get the cheapest model and replace it every couple years instead of being out alot more money with the $500 models. So I trucked down to walmart and bought the cheapy model.
We've now had the little darling for 2 months. Background info: We run it in our living room and kitchen nearly everyday (hardwood floors, linoleum, area rugs). We have three border collies (LOTS of fur). Now my review:
It takes a while... about an hour and a half (if you've kept up on the cleaning... longer if you've left it a couple days). Does it do a perfect job? No. It does a pretty half ass job.... but if it does a half ass job every day - in two days it would be 100%... and well I don't vacuum like at all - so it does a better job then I do. I would not suggest this for someone that is home all day either. We're home school students - so it gets a little annoying, but if your okay turning your TV up loud - you can definitely still watch the price as right while it's running.
If I wasn't home all day I would really suggest getting the "home base". It's kind of a pain if you don't know where it stopped.
Cleaning the brushes is not really that bad. (remember 3 shedding dogs). The little tool helps alot, but an utility knife helps with the wound up hairs every once in a while. We also had it have it's first error today. Looked up online - couldn't find out what to do. Called irobot customer service. Was on hold no longer than 20 seconds after the prompts. Definitely a call centre with an indian lady - we had a couple language barriers but I've had worse with call centres. She let us know that hair gets wrapped around some of the barring that the manual doesn't tell you to clean every day... so manual - not very helpful - customer service a 8/10 (apple being a 10/10 so 8 is still really good!)
Overall - I recommend it for people that are away from home every day for a couple hours. People who are tech-junkies. People with pets (it does help!), people with mobility issues.
Not recommended for - technophobes (the weird pattern it makes isn't all that convincing) is easy to use though. People that are home all day. Perfectionist. People with rugs with tassles.

So, I've had the Roomba 400 for just about 3 months now. I like it very much and it works well in my small, cat-hair-filled-house. It is used twice a week for almost an hour each time and I'm always amazed at how much cat hair, dirt and dust it picks up. My house has never been this clean and, like a couple reviewers noted, my allergies seem more subdued this spring.
The source of all the cat hair doesn't mind the Roomba at all but does get out of its way. And, like other reviewers noted, it is not quiet. Not near as loud as a regular vacuum but definitely noisy; unless I'm right by the phone I can't hear it ring.
A couple things that might help a new owner;
1. I clean the Roomba after every use...takes a bit less than 5 minutes
2. I use a sewing thread cutter to help clean the hair off the rollers - works great!
3. It will get stuck on loose cords, rug tassels and even sometimes the corners or edges of rugs. Not a big deal to unstick it but I sure wouldn't run it unsupervised.
Would I buy it again? You bet.

Bought this item at Target and it broke the first time I used it. Set it up, charged it, turned it on to go and a piece fell out of the bottom. We couldn't find where the piece should go, so it was promptly returned the next day. I'd rather deal with vacuuming with my cheap stand-up every other day myself.

Although this Roomba was only $100 -- it works as well as another one we bought a number of years ago for almost $300. The only difference is that it didn't come with the extra "perks" the more expensive one did -- but we are able to use the docking station and other items with this new one -- everything was compatible. Product was shipped quickly and was received in excellent condition.
Great for an aparment. February 25, 2010

We got this model, and it worked great for about a month and then died suddenly. Irobot replaced it, after a month wait, with a better model since this one was back ordered. It did a great job and could cover an entire 700 square foot apartment in one charge. Just do the maintenance and you will be happy with it. Also it is less noisy then a standard vacuum but don't plan on taking any naps while it is running. We start it before we go somewhere and come back to a clean house.
