> 3 dayI never expected this to replace my upright DYSON Animal but Im impressed with its performance from day 1. In the early uses the small size of the dust collector becomes evident but not because my upright wasnt doing the job, but because RoomBa was going under and behind things I havent moved in YEARS! Ive already found the full basket to become less of an issue each use as fewer never been seen in recent times areas like under heavy furniture, are discovered. My only less than 100% is that my run time b4 it runs home seems a good bit below the specs BUT I suspect the run time can be diminished the more times it changes direction and I do have a floor layout that can find it bound up for several minutes . . . I get around 100 minutes <your home may not even need THIS long> p.s. my hair rating reflects Mrs and I have short hair, no dogs or cats. I doubt this would be happy with a long haired dog or cat!

Greater than one weekThis is a great little vacuum. It cleans really well, and the battery goes for a couple of hours. It always docks itself easily when done and never misses a spot in my 1100 sq foot condo. It will go over rugs easily and fits under everything with no problem. I have two 20+ Maine Coons, and it does a great job of cleaning up their hair and any litter tracking. The drawer needs to be emptied every couple of days but, its not a big deal for me. I have hardwood look tile floors and carpet in the bedrooms. It cleans both well. It even cleans the litter mat in from of the litter box. This was well worth the money. I bought it during black Friday sales. This only negative is its a little loud.

> 3 dayI bought this knowing that there are better models out there that does all if the extra scanning and zoning etc. For my home layout however I was ok with the turn on and leave approach. This unit is exactly that. It simply bounces around and cleans the areas it passes on very well. There is a slight method to the madness as it will eventually go back to the spots you thought it missed. Since I use it when no one is around its perfect for me. I also have mainly flat floors so not too sure about deep cleaning

> 3 dayI brought this robot as a gift for my mother and the two main reasons I purchase this product was 1) my mother is not tech Savvy so I was very happy that this did not require WIFI to operate and 2) that it came with a remote control (So I thought). unfortunately, when she opened the package I come to find out there was no remote control (disappointed in myself since after reviewing the product description I realized that I may have made a mistake in thinking that it came with a remote control, again this was an oversight on my part that may have happened while was doing research on the difference robot vacuums that would best fit for my mother). Stating this we decided to give it try since on of the main points was NO WIFI NEEDED. in the box was the charging dock, charging cord, one brush, owners manual and of course the robot itself. it recommended to charge for 1hr before use to which we did or at least tried to but the minute we put it in the docking station five minute later the light that said it was suppose to be charging turned off we tried again by lifting and resetting on the dock but again after five minute it turned off (so assuming that it was already fully charged)pressed the clean button and it stated right up. one thing we noticed was the suction power was chefs kiss I mean I could feel the blower from across the room. Another thing we noticed was that it was compact enough to fit under our dining room table legs (odd shape table that had three pieces set together on both legs in a triangle shape, best way I can think to described it -_- sorry) anyway even with its small size it picks ups a lot dust/filth. Stating all this one of the main issues we had with it was the tendency to get stuck/tangled on either loose or frayed carpet and if you dont keep an eye on it will destroy the carpet as once the ends get wound in the brush it will continue to pull and may very well end up destroying your rug carpet. Another small issue or maybe a quirk was once it got to the wall molding it seems to be trying to climb up on it but again it maybe how it was design to be able to get to all the nooks an crannies (again it was just odd but I thought I would mention it anyway). Last thing I wanted to say about this product was the fact that I was very simple and easy to clean, the parts (Both brushes, rubber winder, dust collection pod) came out smooth and with no hassle and can be put back in fairly easy. So because of this I would say its a fairly good product (as long as you dont run it on frayed carpets, long loose hair, and anything that can get tangled within the brush) price wise it was a good deal since I got it during the holiday season ($175). Durability seems pretty standard as long a you keep up with the maintenance of cleaning it out after every use since its not self cleaning (we have used it about 5 times now since getting it and suction is still strong hopeful it stays that way). would recommend but still bummed out that it didnt come with a remote and even after 4 uses it refuses to charge for more that five minute (charging light goes out -_- maybe its suppose to be that way since we are not using it through WIFI) still working through that issue (want to give it a real chance before making a decision on whether or not to send it back). hope this helps anyone reading this make a decision on whether or not you get this product for your family/household.

> 3 dayThis vacuum is what we needed! With two hairy dogs the vacuum does a great job keeping the floors cleaner! The robot doesn’t seem to remember floor plans or where it’s home is. It seems like a drunk vacuuming but does get everywhere eventually! We supplement using our Dyson once a week just to get a deep cleaning but the Roomba does a great job.

> 3 dayI had been reluctant to get one of these but I admit I am impressed with the quality and function of the Rumba. I have mainly carpet in my home and this will not totally replace using my manual deep cleaning vac The Rumba does a great job picking up loose surface type dirt and the only thing I have to do is use the app to start it. It would be perfect for hard flooring. It goes everywhere and does well at edge cleaning. It also can do scheduling ( how often and when to an area), generate a report for each vacuuming session and other functions. I clean mine after each session to keep it in good shape. It is very easy to clean and the brushes and filter need to be replaced occasionally but there is an internal log for that too. All in all it does a great job saves me from having to do it so often.

> 3 dayI was replacing a much older one with a battery that finally gave out. I’m very excited about this new Roomba, I love it being connected to Wi-Fi. You just start it from the app wherever you might be instead of having to remember to reach down and hit the button to physically turn it on before you leave the house. This one has a lower profile, is much lighter and doesn’t slam into everything like my old one did. It did a great job cleaning my wood and tile floors as well as the low pile rugs. So far it hasn’t gotten caught on a few obstacles my old one would routinely get stuck on. Definitely an upgrade. I did have a bit of a headache getting it connected to the wifi using the app. After trying several attempts where it just kept searching for the Roomba but never found it I eventually did a factory reset holding the spot and home buttons which corrected the issue and then it connected without a problem. Be sure you are connecting to the 2.4 GHz band instead of the five with your phone doing the “easy” set up since you probably automatically connect to five on your phone. If you have a pet, a robot vacuum is a must, it makes it so easy to keep clean. The dustbin isn’t huge but that’s just the nature of the beast, be sure to dump it since you can’t do that remotely. Love my Roomba.

> 3 dayThe vacuum does a good job sweeping up small debris and pet hair. It is not programmable to clean only certain areas and probably isn’t the best in terms of finding it’s way around tight areas. It frequently traps itself in the dining room under the chairs - finds its way in, but can’t find its way out. Transfers wells between hardwood flooring and area rugs. Battery strength is good for about an hour and a half -sufficient for the main level of our home which is 2000 sq ft. I probably will move this one upstairs and purchase a model with mapping features for the main level as there are areas such as the dining and living rooms which do not need daily or every other day vacuuming. It definitely sold me on the benefit of having a Roomba as I was vacuuming the primary living areas daily to mitigate accumulation of pet hair. I still use a regular vacuum for deeper cleaning but this serves the purpose for which it was purchased.

> 3 dayBut I don’t recommend for pet owners. Get a different roller brush if you have lots of hair.

> 3 dayI live in a small two bedroom house and run this little guy daily. It does a 5 star vacuum the first time it’s used after replacing the rotor and/or taking 30 minutes to clean the parts. After one or two vacuums (1400 sq feet), the performance is noticeably worse.
