Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

This entry-level robotic floorvac is easy to use and includes an array of convenient features. Simply press the Clean button and the unit will vacuum the whole floor, adjusting automatically to any floor surface including wood, tile linoleum, and low-to-medium pile carpet. The vacuum's artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts the run time to ensure that it cleans the entire floor. Integrated sensors detect dirt and will increase the focus and intensity of cleaning in that area, while infra-red cliff sensors in the non-marring bumper detect stairs to keep the unit from falling, as well as furniture and walls for cleaning right up to the edge.

Key Features

• Cleans Carpets and Hard Floors – Automatically adjusts to any floor surface: wood, tile linoleum and carpet
• Cleans Multiple Rooms – Thoroughly cleans multiple rooms on a single charge
• Dirt Detect™ – Actually detects dirtier areas for concentrated cleaning
• Aware™ Robot Intelligence System – Guides Roomba to clean the entire room
• Bagless Bin – Large capacity bin, easy to empty
• Edge Cleaning – Spinning side brush cleans along walls and in corners

How it Works

2.0 out of 5 stars Saw the positive reviews and bought it..., September 29, 2006
By BM (Los Angeles, CA United States) - See all my reviews
I bought this remanufactured Rumba a few weeks ago (it is has already been returned) and was pretty impressed with the job it did. I know a lot of people are skeptical and I was too, but the unit was able to prove itself and is actually intertaining to watch it drive around the living room and bump into things. Ah... who needs TV?

In any case, the issue I had with mine was the battery life. I charged the unit for a long time twice (20 hours?) but the robot would not handle more than 25 minutes of continuous vacuuming. Both times it died in the middle of the room and I had to rush to rescue as it was making its SOS signals, which were annoying enough to interrupt the dinner.

On a side note, the unit is cool, but mine did look used, the surface was scratched and the buttons were worn off! Perhaps I got the worst of the bunch, but make sure you test the battery extensively when you get it!

4.0 out of 5 stars If you're Newmba to the Roomba..., August 21, 2006
By Cedric "Washu" (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews
I own a higher-end Roomba Discovery model, so will just compare Roombas versus regular vacuum cleaners.

Let's get the cons overwith. The Roomba is *the* most dusty vacuum cleaner I've had to clean out. While other vacuum cleaners have convenient dustbins and disposable bags, the Roomba requires you to both empty the dustbin and *clean* the brushes and filters. You definitely want to wear a mask when cleaning out a Roomba! Ironically, I also recommend another vacuum cleaner to help suck out the lint and such. The Roomba also will not do the pre-vacuum tidying up of stuff from the floor you normally do before and during vacuuming.

But, in my opinion, the benefits are well worth it. As a guy, I don't do a good job of vacuuming. (Okay, I admit it. I don't do vacuuming at all!) Compared to a conventional vacuum cleaner, the Roomba will go under low tables and other areas a conventional vacuum cleaner will not go.

I also highly recommend the docking station attachment, sold separately. If you leave your Roomba alone, you really won't know where to find it! It could be under the bed, behind a door, pretty much anywhere.

Finally, you should do your research. There are several Roomba fan sites on the internet, including discussion boards. You should find the right Roomba model for your needs.

5.0 out of 5 stars Can't believe how well it works., September 28, 2006
Because I own a Kirby upright, I never expected this little thing to actually do a good job vacuuming my carpets. We only bought it because my 4-year-old is obsessed with robots and begged! That's why we got the reconditioned one - we figured he would either take it apart or ride on it, and didn't want to pay full price for a new one! Not only is it a great vacuum, but the reconditioned one works as well as a new one.

When it first arrived, it had a very minor battery glitch, but an iRobot tech support person was able to tell me how to instantly solve it after only 5 minutes on the toll-free phone number. Otherwise it was perfect right out of the box. I'd say that's pretty good for a used product. Also, I've never spoken to a nicer, more patient tech-support person.

Even more amazing, my only real complaint about the Roomba is that it works TOO WELL. Even thought I regularly vacuum my house with my crazy-expensive Kirby, it has taken two full weeks of using the Roomba every day before I don't have to empty the dirt cup every 20 minutes. My carpets were that dirty and I didn't even know it. Roomba found dirt that I had no idea was hiding in the carpets and hard floors. Now I can let it run the full length of the battery without having to stop and empty the bin, but at first I was constantly emptying it simply because it was picking up so much dirt that my regular vacuum had left behind.

By the way, spend the extra money for the docking station. It is well worth it to let Roomba find its way back and charge on its own rather than try to track it down when the battery runs out.
