    Comments about iRobot Roomba® 560:

    I have had my Roomba for almost two years. I have five cats in my house and they shed a LOT. My Roomba is a lifesaver. I run it every morning and only get my vacuum out about once every two weeks. The dust bin is full every day; it takes me a few minutes to empty it and clean the brushes but it is so worth it. I can wear black slacks in my house again. Early on I had a problem with it stopping during cleaning, called customer service, and was immediately told what the problem was; I was not cleaning the little yellow sprockets. I started doing that and have not had the problem again. They were so helpful. I never write reviews but this product is a real blessing. I bought Roombas for all four of my grown children for Christmas and they love them, too. I have recommended them to everyone I know.

    Comments about iRobot Roomba® 560:

    I bought the 560, the biggest, baddest IRobot I could find at the time - like 2011. It does pick up the dirt on the floors. Now there are at least 5 NEW and IMPROVED models. Maybe the problem I have has been solved. But cleaning the thing is the worst. You have to get your hands dirty and pull the hair out of the brushes, and cut the hair wrapped around the ends of the brushes. The brush cleaner they provide does not take out the hair. There are two, retired adults in our household, and no pets. I run it every couple of weeks. I have to clean the brushes, by pulling out the dust and hair every time I use it, which means one room at a time, because it's packed in there. It's not just emptying the dirt bin. I'm ready to find a new lightweight upright vacuum and go back to the days of just changing the dust bag.

    Comments about iRobot Roomba® 560:

    First of all this robot is obviously not intended to replace your manual vacuum. And it will not pick up as much or cover the edges like manual vacuuming will. However because it vacuums all on its own it will vacuum everyday and with this much vacuuming it almost makes up the difference. Myself, I vacuum once a month with a normal vac and let Roomba do the rest.

        Comments about iRobot Roomba® 560:

        Great for cat owners that make a mess with litter and fur however it is not a program and forget robot. It does require regular maintenence, cleaning and occational supervision (moving furnature/clearing it's path) otherwise it will get clogged or stuck on furniture very easily. When it works it's great but when it doesn't it's somewhat frustrating. New parts are expensive.

          Comments about iRobot Roomba® 560:

          I have tested my 560 for a month and I was no pleased with the cleaning. I have a Siberian Husky that sheds alot and after a month I tought I would atleast try the AeroVac upgrade. I did and for the last 5 months this has been the best cleaning device for me. I have it scheduled to run 3 times a week and I am amazed. My Siberian Husky sheds so so much and no more tumble weads of hair are around. It's been 5 months since the upgrade and I have to say not sure what to do if it stops working. iRobot your 560 standard will work if you do not have a Husky like mine but you had the AeroVac as a solution. THANKS!!!!!!!

            I have had Benson for about a year now. He cleans wonderfully and it is a pleasure to come home after work every day to clean floors. I am now taking care of a friend's cat for a few weeks and Benson has proved himself indispensable in keeping the cat hair and stray cat litter under control.

            Benson has no problem on my hardwood floors, area rugs (with tassels) and tiled floors. I wouldn't ever want to be without him.

              Easy on the bad back and hands. It is easier to pick up a few things for more coverage than to use the heavier vacuum. Louder that I would like but quieter than a regular vacuum. I like that I can take it apart and resolve problems. I don't have to pay someone else to resolve a problem.

                We have two homes (one in Pennsylvania in the summer and one if Florida in the winter). We have this vacuum in each home. We have carpet, hardwood floors, and ceramic tile floors. This vacuum does an excellent job on all surfaces. We use the machine about twice a week and clean the machine after each use. Even though we use professional cleaning services for our homes, they do not vacuum because we find that the robot does an outstanding job.

                    Have a bag with items for just keeping this 560 clean--dust rag, screw driver, tiny scissors to cut the hair wrapped around, tweezers, new filter (ready)small comb to do the job that the red brush cleaner leaves behind---WAY to much $$$$ for this that doesn't do a deep cleaning, but does a quick job--does get hung up sometimes. Needs to be flatter and not so messy. Gives me a break from my upright though...I hope you working right now on improvements, love the concept. No I was not compensated for THESE comments...
