Product Description
iRobot Roomba Pet Series 562 Vacuum Cleaning Robot - Roomba 562 and Irobot Roomba VacuumThe iRobot Roomba Vacuum is designed especially for the hairy situations that pet owners face. That's why we designed the iRobot Roomba 562 Pet Series especially for pet owners. You'll be amazed at the amount of pet hair, kitty litter, paw prints, dirt, dust and debris that Roomba for pets picks up from your carpets and hard floors. The Roomba 562 systematically cleans up to four* rooms on a single charge and gets into hard-to-reach areas like wall edges and beneath furniture while avoiding stairs and other drop-offs. The 562 Roomba cleans on schedule, allowing you to preset up to seven cleaning times per week for Roomba to automatically vacuum wherever and whenever you want. iRobot Roomba Vacuum automatically adjusts from carpets to hard floors and back again. Auto Virtual Walls (2), designed to always be on, block Roomba from entering off-limit areas. When the cleaning is complete, or if the battery is running low, Roomba returns to its compact Home Base to dock and recharge. Two interchangeable cleaning bins - a Vacuuming Bin and a High Capacity Sweeper Bin - provide the option for everyday vacuuming or heavy duty cleaning in hairier, dirtier, high-traffic areas. A Replacement Brush Kit - an extra Bristle Brush, an extra Beater Brush and an extra Sidebrush - allows for easy replacement and cleaning of the brushes. Using clean, hair-free brushes ensures that Roomba for pets always cleans at peak performance. Two brush cleaning tools - a cylindrical tool and a bladed comb - provide fast and efficient removal of hair and debris from Roomba's brushes. Two replacement filters help trap dirt, dust and dander inside the robot.What's in the Box:1 iRobot Roomba 5622 Auto Virtual Walls (Each requires 2 C batteries, not included)1 Compact Self-charging Home Base1 Vacuuming Debris/Dust Bin1 High Capacity Sweeper Bin2 Brush Cleaning Tools1 Extra Bristle Brush1 Extra Beater Brush1 Extra Sid

 Roomba Pet Series - Perfect July 24, 2010
Jim
I have a beagle who sheds an unbelievable amount of fur. My home is 100% ceramic tile floors. One morning as I walked through the house, the sun hit the floor at just the right angle to make the floor look like I had shag carpeting! Her fur was everywhere!
I had heard about the Roomba, but was put off by the price, and wondered whether it would actually work. Having seen my new "shag carpeting", I decided to give it a try.
It has been the answer to my prayers.
It really cleans my floors. When I walk barefoot in the house my feet FEEL clean; no grit, no dog hair. Very easy to empty out the dustbin. It does all the things they advertise. It is programmed to run every morning at 8:00 am. It automatically finds its way back home when finished. I have not had to bring out the upright vacuum cleaner. I set it up to run in each room in the house: under beds, under dressers, bathrooms, kitchen. I use the two Virtual Walls to contain it in each room, so each one gets a thorough vacuuming. Absolutely worth the money.
Very happy with it.
So far impressed July 22, 2010

First off, it was well packed and arrived quickly from this vendor.
The set-up involve pulling a plastic battery slip and docking it. Very simple. It came with extra filters, brushes, dust bin, cleaning tool.
After a couple hours plugged it was ready to use as indicated by the green light and we let it loose. It crawled around our floors under furniture and randomly hitting every bit it could reach. It was amazing just how much stuff it got that our dyson and laziness to move heavy furniture it got.
It has been in every room of the house now. Each time getting home revealed just how much our std vac was missing.
Cleaning the brushes is the only part that takes a bit of time. Maybe 2-3 minutes if you have multiple pets like us. Still much faster then running a vacuum every day, and still having to clean the brush wheel.
It is cleaning upstairs right now while I relax.
two thumbs up so far!

We've had our Roomba since January 2010 and approx. 6 months later, I still love it and am really glad we made the purchase. It took a little convincing for me to get my husband to agree with the purchase, but now he calls it "his vacuum", and likes to show it off to our friends and family when they come over. For us, it really has reduced my weekly in-house workload. With two cats in the house, birds, bunny, and a dog, pet hair gets tracked throughout the house. With two young children, our kitchen (hardwood floors) gets nibblets of food all over the floor. Setting the vacuum up to focus on one room (by using the virtual walls) makes a big difference. Frequently ours is venturing throughout the entire house.
The only problem we occasionally have is when it gets stuck under our china cabinet, or stuck while trying to suck up a toy that was left behind, or shoelaces hanging off a shoe left out. All very minor issues. I will say, it's a bit odd, when in the middle of the night (like last night), I get woken up by it coming into our bedroom. My guess is it gets turned on by the cats while they're running around playing at night. I hope that's all it is. ;)
I will say that I do still run my other vacuum cleaner (an old Rainbow) about once a month. We have a particular rug in our living room that the pet hair gets ground in after a while and it's hard to get it up with the Roomba, but in general, the carpets look like we regularly vacuum, and you can see all it picks up when you clean it out. Note that you do have to clean it out regularly, and by that I mean, every time it's done with a cleaning. This might seem a pain to some, but it really only takes about 5 minutes to do it. It's worth it to me if it means I can program it to come on whenever I want and come home to cleaned carpets. On another positive note, it has made my kids and husband do a lot better with tidying up better.

Love my new Roomba. It really keeps the cat hair under control. I run it in one room or area everyday. Don't know what I did without it. My cats are very entertained. They watch it every minute, and one of them attacks in occasionally. It really is cutting into their pertpetual sleep time. We have named the roomba, Robbie, from the robot in Forbidden Planet.

Our Roomba is really part of the family. We call him Paco (don't know why, it just seems to fit). We have four (4) dogs, two long hair and two short hair. Without Paco, it is impossible to keep up with the hair and dirt they bring in. By running Paco every other day, we manage to keep the hair to a minimum, even under the beds where cleaning is nearly impossible. Cleaning Paco up is easy if you have the right tools. My problems with the Roomba (my third one) is that it is impossible to get a person on the phone or on line. Emails to iRobot are generally answered within 30-45 days which is also a problem. They send extra brushes, sweeps, etc., with the robot which helps but I keep an old comb, a small screwdriver, a hemostat, and an old toothbrush to clean Paco. I'm hoping that this one lasts longer than the other two.
