 Unexpectedly Good August 15, 2008
K. Meldahl (Duluth, MN)
I bought the Roomba for my husband, who is greatly bothered by the dog hair and birdseed mess we have all over the floor in the dining and living rooms. He also loves gadgets.
The first time we ran Roomba, it got clogged up and stopped running before it got back to its base. My husband cleaned it out really good, vacuumed the floors with the old vacuum cleaner so we would have less accumulation (assuming a week's worth was too much for it to deal with), and set Roomba to work in the middle of the night every night.
It works great! We have to remember to empty it daily, but it is very good at maintaining a clean floor for us and we never even hear it running.
 Bad Battery-"Customer Service" is NO help. August 7, 2008
Sunny Purdin (Denton, TX)
I bought a Roomba because I have two pets in a one bedroom apartment. I loved it...until a month later the battery won't hold a charge. I contacted "customer service" and they said they would send me a new battery. Then they tell me the next day that all their batteries are back ordered and they don't have any to ship. They also don't know when they will get any. That was a month ago and now I have an expensive paper weight in my kitchen.
I would revise this if they follow through with their promise to fix the situation. So far, it looks like they have no intention of sending the battery they promised. I would not recommend this to anyone because they cannot stand by their product.
 I thought robots were smart! August 6, 2008
Adam D. Macy (Boothbay Harbor, ME)
My wife and I have 2 cats and a very small apartment. We were always having to sweep the mounds of hair and clean up around the litter box. The roomba now takes care of all of that for us, our house has never been so clean. Well, that is until today....
My cat (who is angry we won't let her go outside) left us a little present on the floor. The roomba found it and proceeded smear the gift all over the apartment. I've now had to bleach my entire apartment floor and clean out all the little nooks and crannies in the roomba. Cleaning cat feces out of a roomba is not a pleasant experience.
I guess I'm going to have to learn how to program my roomba so it will recognize cat doo.
Advice: buy this, but if you do, don't make your cat angry!
We love him so much, we named him... August 4, 2008
S. Feehily (New Orleans, LA)
This lil fella is great. Does what he is meant to. Can get stuck on a few wires, but they should have been picked up as he's clever but he ain't that clever. Great value for money, product came boxed, with all instructions and components. And he was as clean as a whistle, pretty much as new. Doesn't so much replace the vacuum cleaner as complement it.
 Warning! No repairs available! Poor customer service... August 1, 2008
RPP
I own the model 4225 similar to one pictured here, and there is now a grinding noise coming from the gears. irobot has told me that there is no repair available for this unit (even though they are selling re-manufactured ones...I wonder if they pick them out of people's garbage when they get thrown away). While the product works well when it is working, I find the lack of repair outcome very wasteful. So unless you want to spend several hundred dollars for a new unit every year, I suggest you explore other options.
Echoing other reviews, I also found irobot's customer service unacceptable, as they clearly read from a script and did not care about my outcome.
