Knowing what I know now, I would buy this version of the Roomba. It does a good job of cleaning the floors (both wood and carpet) that contains a fair amount of dog hair (2 big dogs at home), but if the brushes stop turning, What will be done if clean it thoroughly after use almost all normal operating conditions and after each use if you have pets with long hair, you have to replace the whole unit. Yes, you have to replace the whole unit. This version does not have a removable and replaceable head, so if the brushes stop spinning (ours lasted about ~ 3 months), then you have to buy a new vacuum. He also had to deal with a battery that wouldn 't keep his post, but representatives of CS at iRobot are very friendly and very helpful and sent us a quick replacement without any hassle. That said, pony and get one of the new models that allow for replacement parts - I mean, that can support the purchase of a disposable vacuum?!
After seeing two Roombas in action while visiting my cousin 's family during Thanksgiving (which have one for every floor of their house), I purchased the basic model for Christmas, re-produced for about $ 60. E 'was difficult to keep it hidden for almost a month! R rit does its job very well, vacuuming everywhere and not missing a point, and does so much better than we used to under beds and other furniture. It 'sa bit' noisy, but much less conventional vacuum. I think just because we know it now go ahead with the rest of our lives, while the Roomba works, while the rest used to grind to a halt when it was time to EMPTY. R rthe only thing to be aware of is that she will need frequent cleaning: the amount of stuff that clogs is a testimony to what collects off our floor. It is not that a vertical gap is less dirty, but the engine more powerful than an upright can continue to work even if 's hair knotted fur, etc.. Although our Roomba has never complained or quit, my feeling is that the engine would be prone to overheating and bearing brush (some metals, but especially plastic) wear out prematurely if you didn 't clean your Roomba frequently carefully. I prefer to be completely cleaned after each use, but has not yet shown any visible effect even bad when my wife sometimes has performed three or four times before he got around to clean it. R rSimply emptying the bin only takes a few seconds, but disassembly and reassembly for cleaning deep (it 's designed to be easily accessible without tools) takes me 10-15 minutes. The time I spend cleaning the Roomba is not that I spent pushing an upright. Also on the positive side, we 're still our first set of brushes and filters after each use nearly every day for seven months, and ' re showing no sign of giving up yet. According to iRobot 's recommended maintenance program, we have already gone through several sets of both. If you don 't have long hair or daughters pets, however, may not be necessary to clean out every time we do. R model rour smooth transitions from floor to carpet without much of a hitch, and can cross the threshold of a low. Once activated, needs rarely any attention until it 's ready for recharging (and clean), have completed a room or three. Rarely, tried to swallow an apron strings hanging in the kitchen, but then stops, beeps, and is easily disentagled without unnecessary drama. R rWhen my brother and sister-in-law saw our Roomba, bought the top-end model for $ 400.I didn 't see it in action, but my wife said that ' s quieter, more agile and more powerful, easy to get over obstacles like shoes and books on the floor. That seemed hard to believe, but she assured me it was true. R rthe higher-end models also return a "home base " to recharge their own; beep ours, asking to be connected when tired. I 'm not sure, but I think more expensive, can also be programmed to operate on a calendar, so your floor is clean when you get home from work. I 'd bet you ' d have to spend so much time cleaning them, though. R rand then there's the entertainment value (not a joke, at least the first few weeks after you get it). It 's tempting to anthropomorphize the Roomba, although we have a lot of warm-blooded animals and children of our own. My cousin 's one-year-old playing happily with his Roombas, and ' re easier for him to catch cats! Testimony rFinal A: Our plan is much cleaner than it is to be used, and even thought we still have our bulky, strong, and more expensive upright vacuum, we have not turned on even once since getting the Roomba almost a year ago. And, no, iRobot didn 't pay me to write this. Enjoy ...
Even buying remanufactured items is always at risk, the Roomba has been excellent! For 5 days, was used in the same house twice a week, and he is still going strong! The filter is very efficient, and when the Roomba is done, the filter is full of particles captured! I highly recommend this cool little gadget!
battery died after 10 usages and the warranty expired. Rwon 't buy remanufactured roomba like any other. battery is a complete waste.
After four months of use, the engine broke. After completing officer iRobot 's instructions to the unit was returned to me without a battery. Not only do I have to pay for shipping the broken unit back to the company they now expect me to pay $ 45 for a new battery. It is a waste of money and continue to be a waste of money. Buyer beware
I bought a refurb unit as an X-mas gift for my mother. He did not use it very much it just sits around. It is quite strong and not do a very good job of vacuuming. When it goes from a hard floor with carpeting or vice versa it dumps a bunch of dirt.
The first Roomba would not keep the dust bin ... IRobot promptly replaced the bin ... Realized that he united the iRobot contacted and they immediately replaced the entire unit. RDAs little robot works great!
I was intrigued by the idea of Roomba, but t he was' not until I sold the Scooba, which is great for tile and hardwood. I wanted to try the low-end model and I the Red remanufactured into a sale on Friday. When I got it, I charged the battery overnight as directed, but there was no power at all by calling 800 iRobot was not answered, and took several e-mails and live chat with customer service to arrange change. I had to fold and pay to send it back and was more than a month after the original order before it had a working unit. I 've now had for a year and a half and overall I ' m happy with it, but it 's pretty basic, the Scooba has the most advanced technology that is probably also in later models Roomba , and really only works for smaller spaces - Don 't wait to turn it on in the morning and return to a completely clean house, as some of the comments of the other models described. I don 't know if the replacement is refurbished or not - both looked new. It 's pretty beat up now, it really hit on things, but t hasn' do any damage to furniture or floors. R rPros : m rI 'one of which is entertainment - it has more personality than any other appliance. RHaving to clear before using the room is an advantage for me, it 's better than all those books to get rid of clutter! calmer Rit 's than I expected, less noisy than most vacuum cleaners, and of course you ' re not as close to him. It 's really good that can be heard in other rooms, such as children, if ' s too quiet, it 's likely problems. Rcon R : rCharge seems to run less than an hour, enough for a small to medium room and perhaps a clean point or two. Ryou has to keep it on the charger all the time, or remember to plug the night before using it, it doesn t 'hold the load when no s ' plugged flush any bagless vacuum cleaner, emptying it work dirty, clean the brushes is a pain - I hope that I have improved in the newer models. R Roomba and Scooba rBoth take up a fair amount of space, especially to keep them plugged in and charged.
The Roomba is a great idea and a great design - I had high hopes that would work under the dog hair in my house and a good performance in this regard. My main complaint, but he left the bristles of the brush of very fine steel wool-like stripes on my wood floor carefully hand finshed. For those with carpet or tile floors, b it the perfect product. For those with flat finishes, I 'd consider a vacuum flask.
Have we always wanted to try a Roomba and it's someone first. We are now looknig Another buy and everyone we know who wants us to have seen one too! Works much better than expected. Picks up a lot of dirt and dust! I want the filters were a bit larger if you don 't have to clean it so often. Overall, we are really impressed and shopping for another. $ 70 for a refurb is the best we 'seen! In addition, we ended up getting the version with Max Sage Clean too!
The battery for this product is not optimal. RI tried to get the support of manufacturing, but I t 'get a real solution. Incidentally, the condition of the product, said 90 days .....
I bought this for my parents who aren t able to clean They used exactly like '. They were simply amazed to see how this vacuum and it picks up all the crises in tight spaces. They have a cup of tea and a toy pom chiahuau (sp?) And puppies aren 't just as happy with it LOL. Noisy as it is, they can not understand what this gadget is small by their terrority Roming =)
We were always home vacuuming or very loose and I was looking for iRobot Roomba for quite some time. So when I saw this on sale for around 100 ~ iRobot Roomba, I bought one just to try it. I am very happy with my purchase and beyond my expectation that goes beyond. In fact, I'm buying a second iRobot Roomba 580 n now that I can program my house cleaning. It does clean very well and can go "in bed ou autres difficult to clean places. It also cleans hard surfaces very well. One thing to remember is that it usually takes a long time to clean a room (approx. 45 minutes) and so firefighters can accommodate CF t 'clean' Cause once battery discharges about 1 hour + ~. It also doesn t clean corners 'very well (I think because of its shape "can be and I don ' t Have the best). Overall I'm quite happy with my purchase. It saves time and is very thoroughly Does the work of vacuuming.
Very happy with product. Not replace your vacuum cleaners, but will certainly help in between. Remanufactured unit that I received worked great. No problem yet. Great deal.
Suprisingly this little vacuum was pretty big looking Pls I took it out of the Box. It is big and strong and a bit heavy but boy does it clean your house like a champ! All i had to do was charge it up and it was great! I just pressed the clean button and it cleaned the entire first floor (Almost 1000 sq ft) in one battery charge. Also WENT it up over my rugs from my hardwood with no issues, if it gets stuck it just spins around and fixes Itself and then continues it 's mission. I have cats with long hair too and it picks it up no problem and is very easy to clean the brushes and empty the dirt cup. I think the iRobot company has made me a customer for life! They have great customer service as well, the one i bought Remanufactured Died a week after I got it and the company replaced it for free, no questions asked. I would definitely recommmend this great product.
I loved my first Roomba until he dies. Purchased the re-conditioning works very well. I had to use the old battery. The battery that cam with the new Roomba doesn 't hold a charge very long.
Well I have had great luck in the past with refurbished iRobot Roombas but this one is a bum battery. It is only from the last 35-45 minutes. Owned since I have many of them I have learned all the tricks to get the maximum life out of one of the batteries but not this one. The unit cleans though so it's great to earn two stars from me.
I bought this product for my parents for Christmas. They asked me to return it because it kept getting caught up in their rugs in place and getting lost behind one of their couches. I decided to try it and found that it works ok in the square area with very few obsticals. It takes forever to clean the hallway, and it runs out of battery in the great room before it is covered all areas. I decided to go ahead and keep it for help it gives me in bed. It s kind 'like having a little kid Helping you chore. It helps a little, and I 'LL all the help I can get the Day.
I am very impressed with this refurbished Roomba! It is my 1st one and it works as Expected, but you still need to do a deep cleaning occasionally. Before Roomba vacuuming there was a stalemate and it would never get done at our house. Now the kids on their clean room in Hopes of Mr.Robot cleaning the floor!
I admit I was a bit skeptical about Roomba, so I waited until now to buy one. I could not t 'let the case for a reconstructed and read all the reviews of other key. After one month of use, I 'm thinking of buying a second for humanity on the floor. In my opinion this is the best advice we can give a product. They told me that you still want to use Super Vacuum regularly clean occasionally, but I measure Haven t 'was necessary. He banked an average between my thick carpet and vinyl floors, and incorporates all of our cat lives' s hair. Highly recommended.
Ok, the robot is pretty cool ... but I'm having problems feeding. I followed the instructions, but the battery was never a full charge. Or perhaps this is a refurb battery has been used and had not been loaded properly. Anyway, after following the instructions of the customer care 'I DIS he accused then reloaded a couple of times ... it loads 72 hours (three days!) Before each use as instructed. He now holds a charge of 30 minutes is just enough for the word that I use on ... but not so close to " rated run time. It is better than the 5 min run time, it was when I got it, and it is such a hassle to send the battery I'm just going to live with. Otherwise, it works very well. You have to empty the machine almost every time you use it (put a trash can near the camera and it is not too big a deal). Overall, I'm not sorry I bought it.
I really like the robot. Clean well and not missing much. My son has stolen to clean his apartment in college (this should be an indication of how well they enjoyed in our house).
I love this vacuum! I never thought I would own but my parents had one and once I saw a very good job that I do not have to have one too. And, even though I ordered the basic model of the red because of the price, I received a better next step in the quality and features of the Amazon model. I'm not one to run the vacuum cleaner, maybe three times a year so that the Roomba has worked cut out and not listen to advice Roomba 'to do a thorough cleaning of the first I have to empty the trash and clean the filter every 10 minutes but it's better for me than the hand cleaner. I'm amazed at the ability of this vacuum deep cleaning, I have two wool Oriental greater added with apt I live in now is a tile and Berber. I was recording under the carpet in the suburbs but if I lose anything that Roomba is smart enough so that lifts and twists itself against Typically, amazing! t I Haven 'using the virtual walls that came with the Roomba, but I just simply set up some barriers and clean one room at a time. I also took a small carpet because they can cause problems in Roomba trapped. Have I even take this baby together with my friends house just to let them see the great job done. You won t 'be disappointed!
Works of fun, great to watch. Clears things easy even need to run a real gap from time to time.
