Great idea but not practical

Date:June 21, 2011

"The Roomba is a great idea but in all practicality, it’s not worth it. I bought mine about 6 months ago, because the very idea of having it automatically clean each floor of my house on a schedule was too good to be true.

I assumed that I would only need to do a major carpet clean every couple of weeks. I have 3 cats and my wife has long hair. The first time I used it, I was surprised how much it picked up, excited in fact. The excitement quickly faded when I noticed that every time that I used it, it required a full cleanout.

The spinning brush on the front needed removal and cleaning since it was clogged underneath with fur and hair and would stop spinning. The brush and beater bar were also always covered in fur, hair and dust and did not turn correctly due to the clog. The front wheel had to be removed after every usage and cleaned out. In fact, the wheel wouldn’t stay in correctly since I have removed and cleaned it so many times. The bin was often full after every use and the filter needed a cleaning too. My point is that there was always fur and hair tangled up in it straining the machine.

I never used the scheduling feature since it always required my attention after every clean. (If it ever made its way back to the base) Since I was using it on a daily bases, I started noticing scratches on my oak baseboards and walls. The legs of my furniture have some major scratches, especially my pool table. In a few cases it picked out some misloops in my carpet and made a long run. It is also important to note that half the time I used it, it would get wedged under a dresser or sofa, stuck on a mat or an Ikea Poang chair or shut down on top of the stairs because of a dirty cliff sensor. In the end, babysitting the Roobma was more trouble than it was worth. I returned it for a full refund with no questions from the CT staff. I think the Roomba would work great if you had no pets, no dirt and you did not care about your flooring, furniture or walls. I’m now back to vacuuming the whole house with my central vac on a weekly bases. I’d recommend spending your money on a powerful vacuum cleaner instead of wasting your time on this invention."

I'm coming around...

Date:May 10, 2011

"I owned a first-generation Roomba and found it more of a hindrance than a help - too much time spent on cleaning and untangling the brushes, and batteries that lasted only 1 year. However, my continued need for such a device (my collie sheds everywhere and all the time), I sprung for this model when on sale and I have to say that Roombas has made attempts to address the previous shortcomings. Brush maintenance is made MUCH easier with the included brush cleaner (it really works), the fan in the dust bin really makes a difference and helps suck up lots of dust and dirt, and the battery is lasting just fine. And it's much quieter than previous generations. I am running into problems where hair is wrapping around the shafts of the brushes and causing them to bind, but once I remove the hair it works fine again. I also don't particularly like the new "automatic" invisible walls - the Roomba often blows by them before they activate. I prefer and use my older manual on/off virtual walls. But overall, this model is a definite time saver and I'd recommend it for hardwood and tile application."

You have to try it !

Date:March 17, 2011

"I recently moved to a new home and have been going crazy trying to keep my dark hardwood floors and front entrance carpets squeaky clean. I attended a birthday party with my daughter where they had the same floors and asked me how I liked them, I told them that I loved the look but the upkeep was driving me insane. That is when they pointed to was their Roomba and told me how they loved it and that it was a wonderful product.

The next morning to CDN Tire I went to buy my Roomba. A very pessimistic woman in front of me a the cash kept telling me that she wouldn't buy it, that it couldn't be that great, and so on so forth. The way I saw it, was that if I really didn't like the product I could return it since Canadian Tire has a great return policy.

Well, let me tell you, I am totally in love with my Roomba, it has become my new best friend. I am somewhat of a clean freak and my floors were causing me severe anxiety and I was always complaining how it always looked dirty and so on. I have my Roomba set to do a daily cleaning on the main floor of my house at 9:30 every morning weekdays. That way, I always come home to a clean vaccumed house.

Of course you need to empty the canister and clean the brushes but nothing compares to having a continuously clean house. Really, this is a wonderful product, that I have owned for over a month and would not live without."

Great helper but...

Date:January 17, 2011

"This is a great little vacuum, had mine run weekly for a time. Was a little tricky having it find it's way back to charge, but with a little adjustments and setting it worked like a charm.

For the last half a year I rarely used it as I was moving, sadly it only would go in circles (actual model 560 and not 560s). I figured it was just a dirty sensor so didn't give it much thought until I can really use it more recently. Turns out the left bumper sensor is no longer working properly which I confirmed in diagnostic mode.

As it was beyond the 1 year warranty I contacted IRobot and they still gave a replacement robot without any accessories including batteries but I have those anyways.

The replacement bot seems actually better than the original. Looks like they fixed a couple things since I got the original. It picks up a lot more, doesn't leave debris when moving from hardwood to carpet, slows down when closing in on an obstacle instead of hitting it full force, seems to have some kind of limited ability to keep track of movement such as where it is from charger and what areas still need vacuuming and battery seems to run a good couple hours but highly doubt all that would be needed.

Defective part aside this actually does the vacuuming! Floors are clean, I set mine to clean while I'm at work. If you have several floors you'll either need to just carry it to the other floors and let it loose or get more.

It can't do stairs unless you want to place it on each step, also will need to empty out the dirt once a week or so depending on how dirty your floors get. I recommend changing out the filter and give it a decent cleaning (especially around the sensors) about every 6 months.

In summary this is actually a great vacuum with a company that seems to pay attention and address issues from older models, perfect if you have pet hairs needing constant vacuuming, too busy, hate vacuuming or just into neat gadgets."

Great little guy

Date:December 24, 2010

"The first one I bought kept having an Error 9 code (front bumper problem) that made it do the circle dance. Turns out it was simply a defective unit. Returned it and the second one is going strong. I didn't realize our house was dirty until we had that thing run through it the first time. The amount of dirt and hair it picked up from our supposedly clean house was amazing! My kids love him and my 2 year old is in charge of turning it on. It's all that simple."

Roomba Rocks!

Date:April 1, 2010

"Had the 560 for several months now. This is the best vacuum ever. Works great, does better job than my built-in. Huge time-saver, goes where no vacuum has gone before (under sofas, chairs, beds etc.). Easy to empty and clean (takes just a couple minutes per day).

Scheduling is awesome feature. It does downstairs during the night while we sleep and we turn it loose upstairs to do the bedrooms during the day. The dogs are fascinated with it.

Amazing how much dirt this little vacuum sucks out of carpets I thought were clean. Just wish it did stairs so I could throw the old vacuum out all together."

Great little vacuum!

Date:March 25, 2010

"What a time saver! While roomba vacuums up you're left to do as you please. We get about a 3 hour vacuum on one charge, then Roomba scoots back to the docking station to recharge. This model can be programmed to auto-start at night while you're sleeping, or when you're away from home.

The most surprising thing is how much (and big) stuff this little powerhouse can pick up. Despite this, it is very quiet. We routinely watch TV while it scoots around us...couldn't do that with our Hoover upright. The virtual walls are great to section off the house to keep Roomba where you want it. We use it mostly to keep out of the hall when the kids are napping/sleeping.

One big plus is that our kids (1 & 4) love to see the Roomba clean, so the 4 yo helps clean up the floor of toys, etc. just to see the vacuum go. 1 month in and the novelty hasn't worn off yet!

The only downside, however small, is that it has a stair sensor that keeps it from tumbling down the stairs. We found that our area rug that has some black swirls makes the Roomba think it's a drop-off, so the robot avoids those spots. Wish there was a override on this feature."

how often do I need to replace the filter and what is the filter model # ?

Answer:

My Roomba runs daily and I empty the dirt bin and use the shop vac on the filter every few days, ideally daily. The filter still looks like new. If you wash it occasionally you'd only need to replace it if it gets damaged. -JP

Answer:

Depends how dirty your floors get and use of your Roomba. On average I change mine out every 6 months with a good cleaning. You can recognize the filter easily, can be found at the store or ordered online. Very easy to do.

Answer:

They say to replace them every few months. Will depend on usage and how you're cleaning them though. Take a can of compressed air to them and you'll get substantially more use out of each one.

A 3 pack of the filters goes for $20 on iRobot's store. Not sure what Canadian Tire sells them for (or if they do).

Kenton

Answer:

Just use compressed air to blow off the dust - or force the air so the dust/dirt is forced back the way it came. I will be on my 2nd roomba. The second one is the the older version of this one and has been awesome for 3 years now. Replace the filter about once a year.
Getting a new one today since it is 1/2 price!!

Answer:

Model number is 81502

The filter should changed approximately every 3-6 months (depending on how frequently it is used)

But tapping it clean when emptying the dust bin will help prolong the filter life.

Answer:

You don't need to replace the filter. You just rinse or wash it under running water and let dry before reinstalling it in the vaccum.

How much is a new battery for this unit?

Question:

If this units battery dies do I have to buy a new unit or is the battery avaliable to purchase on it's own?

Anonymous

1 year, 5 months ago

Answer:

Battery should easily last over 3 years, replacement can cost $70 but you can order higher capacity (last almost twice as long) for the same price on the manufacturer's sit. I would recommend NiMH as they don't degrade like lithium & Ni Cad.

You can also buy from Ebay for just much cheaper but I recommend just doing it right. Remember you get what you pay for.

Sc0rPs

Answer:

You can go the iRobot like the previous person mentioned but on my older Roomba's I have just gone to EBay or other online retailers and received new batteries for about $30 shipped. I looked and batteries are available for this model too for about the same price and as an added bonus they have a higher mAH rating so they'll last even longer than your original.

TIP: Make sure you use your Roomba at least once a week to keep the battery healthy. I have had several roombas and the only battery issues I had are from not using them.

Answer:

You can either call the manufacturer directly at 1-888-702-8281 and speak to Carol on the order desk and they will arrange to ship it directly to you, or you can ask your local store to place an order for it and they can sell it to the store. The store cost is around $49.95 plus S & H. The manufacturer retails directly to the customer for about $59.95 plus S&H.
