Product Description
The iRobot Roomba 610 Professional Series Vacuum Cleaning Robot cleans up to four rooms on a single charge. It comes equipped with two interchangeable bins, a high capacity sweeper bin and a vacuuming debris bin, that can be utilized for either everyday cleaning or for picking up larger-than-usual amounts of debris. The Professional Series also has extra brushes, filters and cleaning tools plus a convenient storage case to organize and store the accessories and sweeping bin in one place. Durable paint and bumper guards provide a scratch resistant finish to the Roomba Pro and more protection for furniture and obstacles. An extra long power cord allows greater versatility for charging and storing and storing Roomba on the included, heavy weighted, self-charging Home Base. Two Virtual Wall Light Houses ensure the most efficient room-to-room cleaning, and block off-limit areas. Roomba Pro also features three cleaning modes, including Max Mode that allows maximum cleaning coverage in larger homes, offices or business settings. In Max Mode, Roomba cleans until the battery is almost drained, then it returns it to its Home Base to dock and recharge. The Professional Series is also the only iRobot Roomba Vacuum Cleaning Robot to carry a two-year warranty.

 A real good robot June 12, 2010

This robot really does its work. My home now is clean all the day, I now never clean the room again.

Task: Started Roomba 610 in a 32 x 40 open area that includes kitchen, living and dining room, entry. Area has 3 rugs, chairs, coffee tables, end tables, speakers on the floor.
Preparation: a)Placed recharge station on a wooden part of the floor, so roomba is on a flat surface as it
approaches the recharge station. b) Moved dining room chairs from under the table and spaced them around the
room. Took less than 10 mins.
What doesn't work:
a) Roomba side brush tangles itself in fringe. If you tuck the fringe under, the
Roomba has difficulty climbing over the fringe end. Solution: Cut the fringe.
b) If there are too many small spaces the roomba needs to navigate into and out
of (e.g. a narrow sofa table between the sofa and the wall, accessible only from
under the sofa.) the roomba will use up some battery power maneuvering, and
the duration of the clean cycle will be shorter.
c) Too many speaker wires/cords: Roomba 610 is much better at detangling
itself than a friend's older model, but there is a limit.
What works: a) Cleaned a week's worth of debris and cat hair (two long haired cats) in less than an
hour, even kitchen floor debris (except for a big fat rubber band), toddled back to
recharge station and bleeped. Would have run longer but for maneuvering around chair
and table legs, over humps of rugs with fringe tucked under, etc.
b)Regular capacity debris bin was full. Took about five minutes to clean it, the filters
and the brush and roller area. Would have taken less time if I had checked out how to
re-insert the brush and roller before I popped them out.
c) Avoided stairs
d) bumps against obstacles gently, so will not remove antique table next time
e) really quiet. Much quieter than my bathroom exhaust fan. My cats dozed in the
window between bouts of following it around. I had a phone conversation (try that with
a regular vac!)
f) amused my cats and my neighbor
Worth the Extra $$? Hard to say. Programming ability is not helpful, since I have to set up the area (too many chairs, too much rug fringe) Comes with accessories. Two "Lighthouses" that either call the Roomba to the next room (lighthouse mode) when the first is cleaned, or erect an electronic barrier to keep it out of areas (virtual wall mode), plus extra brushes, rollers, filters etc and larger capacity bin, all neatly stored in a case. Seems to run longer than my friend's older model. I bought it for the capacity and so far, do not regret it.

Love it. Our home is open to dust and dirt, and this keeps the floors very clean. We live on St. Croix (us virgin islands), where dust and dirt is an every day thing. So far it is great.
Amazing! March 6, 2010

Our home is 3,000 sq feet, single story. I have a newly crawling baby and 3 other children a toddler and two children under 8. We also have one pet, a cat. So normally I would have to run the vacuum by hand after each meal. However, with the Roomba I have not had a need to do that. I have her run after dinner each evening in our dining area. Perfect! She picks up whatever the kids leave behind. Each morning I have her clean the family room, school room and game room. Once a week she does the bedrooms.
I had concerns that because of my children liking to leave things behind, toys, books, etc. We'd not be able to use the Roomba. But each evening after dinner we do what we call "Roomba clean" so that she can do her job without running into landminds of books or toys. The house looks amazing and the carpet and hard floors look so nice after she has done her job.
I am amazed at what the Roomba picks up. And boy does she go for awhile without having to be emptied.
The spot clean feature is great for small areas. Love that and use it often!
My cat is not scared of it, and he is a very jumpy cat. I was imagining a cat running scared. So I'd imagine most animals can tolerate it very well.
I have a pet dyson and though I loved that, I needed to push that, plug it in, move it from room to room. I don't have the hassle of me being involved in the cleaning with this, which works great so I can do other things while she handle the floors.
My only complaint is the light house/ virtual wall. I wish there were on off switches as it's truly a pain to have to put the batteries in to use it and take them out when I don't want it to (as they run as soon as the Roomba does) if you leave batteries in it. For the price of the Roomba I think it would be nice to have switches on those. But that's not enough to deter me from the Roomba.
Also with a household like mine, I do wish Irobot would offer a lifetime warranty. I didn't purchase from them because at the time the price was $599 and the warranty was just 2 years. I purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer as they had a free shipping coupon $49 off, and a lifetime warranty. So out the door I paid $549.
I know some folks say they sleep when they run Roomba. I could not do so as I do find her to be a bit loud. I guess if you are able to shut your bedroom door maybe and confined her to another floor you could do that.
Every day I thank my husband for letting us use a bit of tax money for this little robot.

I am obsessively clean, this thing has been a lifesaver. My father has been raving about these things forever and I thought he was nuts. After spending the better part of every morning cleaning my house so that my daughter would not be touching pet hairs by the time she woke up, I caved and bought one. I now wake up to immaculate floors, it is wonderful. This machine is for daily maintenance. If you bring it into a home with filthy floors, do not expect a miracle, you are going to break your machine. I am not sure why people have complained about cleaning it. I have found that it takes 3 minutes tops, and I actually remove and wash the parts daily. I use the spare parts that came in the accessory box interchangeably while the ones I wash dry. I can't say enough good things about this machine, my husband has the most disgusting cat ever, handfuls of hair come off every time he is pet despite being brushed daily. There is now NO hair on the floor in the morning after the irobot runs, and much less effort for daily maintenance of my furniture too now that all that hair isn't flying around. I highly highly recommend it!!!! It is expensive though, I recommend buying the one sold by hammacher schlemmer, as it has a lifetime guarantee. Like I said my dad has been using these forever, and they do break every 1-2 years, why not prepay the expense and know it will be replaced no questions asked.
