 I love it! July 18, 2010

When these products first hit the market, I thought wow, you've got to be really lazy to use a product like this. Then I saw one at a friend's house, and it got me to thinking about my laundry room where I have four cat litter boxes. Cats don't bother shaking the litter off their paws before they jump out, which leaves litter tracked all over the linoleum. I got my iRobot Roomba specifically for the laundry/litter room, and set up the virtual walls so it just does that room. Oh, my, what an amazing machine! It does a better job cleaning the floor than I can do with a broom and dustpan. It senses where the litter is and sweeps until the room is totally clean! When it's done...or when the filter is full of litter...it docks itself to recharge. I have only had it about a month, but I'm totally impressed and haven't found a downside to it yet. All cat owners should have one!

Bought this product late 2009. Was ok for about 3 months before the battery dies within 15mins after fully charged. Tried 'resetting' the battery as recommended in the internet but no use.
While checking the internet, realised that the product picture of 530 is different from mine. Mine has no carrying handle (its just not there, just flat surface), which is different from the online sale picture! The product box labelled this as 530 though. Am I getting a older version? Cannot trust this shop (Kitchen, i think).

As with most, I was skeptical as to how good of a job the Roomba could do. And just like everyone else, I've been converted. It does a good job of vacuuming my floors. And yes, it gets into the corners and most other difficult-to-reach areas (the brush at the front-right "corner" effectively pushes dirt and debris from corners in front of the Roomba's path). Okay okay, it probably doesn't do as good of a job as a standard vacuum; maybe 90% as thorough. But you have to keep in mind that you'll run it 3 or 4 times a week, meaning it does as good of a job as if you were vacuuming with a regular vacuum once a week (which I, lazy as i am, didn't even do). And it gets under couches and coffee tables and other areas where I would expect most wouldn't bother to move furniture to reach.
Negatives? The only one i can think of is if you have cables/cords on your floors. Yes, this series does have the anti-tangle feature, which does work most of the time. But i've noticed that if you have long cords with lots of slack (say underneath the bed, where I hide a lot of cords), it'll either pull the cords around or just give up. To remedy this, I've just pushed the cords and cables along the floor boards; not really a big deal.
In summary, I would imagine the Roomba is to our generation what the dishwasher was when it first was invented; a super useful appliance that can reduce a lot of manual work if you know its limitations and accommodate it a bit.
My First Roomba 530 July 6, 2010

I was concerned I might be disappointed but I was not. The Roomba 530 works very well. It cleans well and the added bonus is it's fun to watch, especially when it docks.
I can clean the floors more often because while it vacuums I can do other things, the things I would ordinarily do after vacuuming.
It was the reviews that helped me make my decision. Thank you!

really expensive but completely worth it! June 8, 2010

I hate vacuuming ergo I love this vacuum. As a grad student, it pains me to spend so much money on a household appliance but my apt is the cleanest it's been in over a year. If you can spare the money and you hate cleaning, buy this vacuum!
