Love it!

Date of Review:  Feb 15, 2009
Review: Short & sweet.... it does exactly what you bought it to do. Roomba 560 (on your schedule) cleans the floors, goes under the furniture, close to baseboards, and around corners doing a much better job than I ever could! It docks itself, doesn't fall...

Doesn't clean well compared to a shop vac or Electrolux

Date of Review:  Nov 12, 2007
The Bottom Line: I had high hopes that it would do a better job but if you just don't care that much, it's easier than vacuuming yourself.
Review: Just about any vacuum (an inexpensive shop vac) will do a better job, but as traditional vacuums do, it requires you vacuum with it.

The iRobot cleans without you, for the most part. However, this most recent of versions bangs into all the...

Stay away from the 500 series until side-brushes fixed!

Date of Review:  Nov 26, 2007
Review: I have been a long time customer of iRobot. I have had multiple early generation Roombas (and still have four fourth generation Roombas in my house). I bought two 560's in September and the side brushes became "amputees" within the first few weeks,...

Have a bad back? Get the Roomba!

Date of Review:  Nov 23, 2008
Review: The worse thing you can do when you have a bad back is to vacuum. I solved my problem by buying the Roomba. I'm very satisfied. No, it doesn't replace your regular vacuum cleaner but it is excellent for light vacuuming (I get my husband to use the...

much better than the last

Date of Review:  Feb 27, 2008
Review: I have owned 2 roomba schedulers, each lasted slightly over 11/2 years. the brushes stopped working and they started making a very loud grinding noise. We used them every day ( and cleaned them everyday) on our hardwood floors, we do not have any...

The Beginning of my Life's Robotification!

Date of Review:  Feb 13, 2009
The Bottom Line: A step above the old models and definitely a time saver, and despite the noise, it's hard to argue with a clean house.
Review: About two years ago I decided to do a little test and I bought the Roomba Discovery. I intended to use it to maintain some semblance of cleanliness in my kitchen and living/dining room areas. After much anticipation regarding the no-doubt-soon-to-be...

Think before you buy IROBOT Products

Date of Review:  Apr 4, 2009
The Bottom Line: If you like mechanical toys this is for you, but be prepared to do battle with IROBOT corp or use it as frisbee in the not to near future.
Review: Within in 2 months of purchasing the brush head failed. Support replaced it, but with a newly designed head to prevent pet hair buildup behind the ends.. Amazing. Before it failed , also purchased a 540 and that unit had the better brush assembly...

Comparing the new 560 to the old Discovery

Date of Review:  Jan 19, 2008
The Bottom Line: I wish it worked better, but I'd miss it if it was gone. I need to use a regular vacuum sometimes, but it's fantastic for under beds and sofas
Review: I had the earlier Discovery Roomba model for several years and learned to live with its limitations.

A few months ago, we upgraded to the 560 model. Somethings are much better - it picks up more dirt, for one thing. It still leaves fluff...

Can I marry a robot?

Date of Review:  Feb 20, 2008
The Bottom Line: Simple. Easy to use. Does the work for you!
Review: I'm a single guy, soon to be married, that has a cleaning lady come every 2 to 3 months to do the real dirty work. So rather then call her for her quarterly visit, I took the money I would normally give her and invested it in this. Anyways, on with...

iRobot 560: Dance the Roomba with me.

Date of Review:  Apr 30, 2008
The Bottom Line: Good looks and convenience excuse the marginal cleaning performance. However, it's expensive and a "real" vacuum may still be needed.
Review: Well, the original Discovery was fascinating but frankly too expensive and we didn't have a good application for it. Further, reviews were just okay. Now that we're in our new house, we were still on the initial high and finally the Roomba 560 moved...
