My only 2 complaints are, 1st the beam of the wall is kinda wide. It would have been nice if they used some sort of laser for the beam wall. Second the use of the word "Vacuum" is a little misleading, from what I can see there is no vacuuming taking place, just the rollers flipping up hair and dirt into the collection bin. This is fine for wood or linoleum floors, but on carpet it just doesn't clean that deeply.

This is the best cleaning tool I have ever bought!!! I love it!!! It may lose charge faster than I would like and be a little loud but when I see my floors are clean and I am not the one who cleaned them, it makes it all okay... I have four kids and two dogs in the house and this is just perfect... I work at home and while I am working my roomba is cleaning and that is wonderful.. I would recommend to anyone to have one of these... my only sugestion would be to either buy another battery and have it charged ready to go or maybe by the fast charger...

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

It picked up debris that regular vacuums didn't and made vacuuming kind of fun. Notice that sentence was in the past tense, because it died after about 13 months. It should last longer than that! Its untimely death is why it does not deserve 5 stars. Up until its death, Gus was a helpful and friendly robot. I would still recommend a Roomba, however, because maybe I received a dud and you may possibly have more luck than I did. Read as many reviews as you can--some people have had their Roombas last a while and others, like me, have had some reliability issues.
I'm still considering buying a new one because the thought of manual vacuuming irks me now that I have been spoiled by Roomba. I'll just have to cross my fingers that the next one I receive will last longer.

I love it. In just under three years of every other day use I have only had to replace the battery (recently) and just bought the edge sweeper brush. strudy and reliable. I would and have recommended this product.

this is my review of irobot hal. cost of battery- lasts about one year i hear. consider how much it would cost you to have someone vacuum your carpets. turns out the expense of the battery is a small price to pay for the service rendered. hal my irobot vacuum is a hard worker and the maintnance is a cause for joy for it is a thinking task as hal does the mundane job of vacuuming for me. i am very satisfied with my irobot 410 called hal.

I now have two Roombas and am considering a Scooba. I have emailed all my friends and relatives to let them know Roombas aren't just a cute gadget but real workhorses, and then I bought Roombas for my in-laws and son for Christmas. I don't know how I've lived without these things for so long!

Arrived on time but a couple parts were missing. Customer service was great, sent the parts right out! I used it once without brush bearings and it still did a great job. Baby loves it, dogs stay away! I have back injury and love being able to clean the floors without having to wait for someone to do it for me. KUDOS!!

I was spending every day dragging out my vacuum to clean up pet hair and cat liter from my hardwood floors. Since my daughter bought this IRobot for me as a Christmas present, I can turn my IRobot on and forget it. It save me so much time and effectively cleans my floors.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

This is my second Roomba. Had Roomba Discover Series. The battery lasted less than a year and started having problems with it only turning in one direction. I contacted iRobot and tried to resolve problem over the phone but couldn't. Service person recommened that I return to the factory for repair. At this point I had already purchased a new battery ($69.99) and didn't want to go through process of packing and shipping it back which would just have cost more money. Purchased the Roomba 410 (Red) after Christmas 2008. Battery stopped working this week (Jan. 20, 2009). Battery costs $69.99 to replace plus shipping and handling. Love the product but something HAS to be done about battery life. I only use Roomba about once a week. I have no animals or kids to clean up after so it's a fairly easy job for Roomba.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

My Roomba is so effective we call him "Robby" (it suits "him" somehow ;-). I had been mulling over getting a Roomba for about a year and found a remanufactured 410 model for a good price. "Robby" cleans my laminate & carpet floors very effectively. I own two very hairy dogs who shed alot and all my other vacuums never did well with pet hair. Robby's bin filled three times the first day I used him but after that he got into all the tight spots and only needs to be emptied once per session. I use him daily.

I am SERIOUSLY contemplating getting a Scooba to scrub after my Roomba is done vacuuming. I have recommended a Roomba to all my friends and the one's who have seen it in action are quite impressed. I wish the battery charge was a little longer though. Robby is quite capable of getting out of tough spots on carpet or behind furniture and has only tried to go downstairs once-he stopped after one wheel fell and gave the "uh oh" sound. Cute. My girlfriend was skeptical about the Roomba at first but now "talks" to him when he wanders into whatever room she is in ;-) My dogs dont seem to mind him in the least and my Labrador will even play "chicken" with him! I do truly enjoy using my Roomba 410! I can't wait to try other models!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

My life is a lot easier and entertaining with roomba in it. I began having problems with my roomba after about 6 months and emailed customer service. They gave me a list of things to try that didn't help and I was unable to mess with any of it for about 6 months because life was too busy. At that point I contacted customer service to have the robot repaired...had the robot for over a year at that point. Customer service sent me another robot for no charge at that point. They are super easy to work with and we are very pleased and impressed with both the robot and the company. Say goodbye to those dust bunnies forever!

Rosie takes care of the floors while I am free to see to other areas of my home, or even better, RELAX!
Everone who has met Rosie is truly amazed at the concept, and entertained if not mesmerized by her actions.

Vacuuming made FUN!
Thanks iRobot

For the person that was unhappy since their Roomba quit after one month. Did they do a reset? Mine quit, but now works great after I called and let them know it quit working. I was told how to perform the reset & also sent an e-mail. I love my Roomba. Thanks to the support dept. helping me get it going again.
I was so happy, I ordered Roombas for two of my children for Christmas.

Overall it is a good entry vacuum it is loud and battery runs out extremly quickly, so its for small 2 story houses.

Molly is good to go under furniture and cleans pet hair good but the short run time and high charge time makes its use questionable.

It's wonderful to set Georgette down, turn her on, and go relax with the morning paper and my coffee knowing the house will be cleaned and the cats entertained.I first named it George, but when the brushes stopped turning [...] sent a replacement part, and a friend suggested that I change the name to Georgette.Now I wish she would do windows and laundry, I got spoiled in a hurry. I have recommended iRobot to several friends, my kid sister sold me on it.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I’ve had ‘Ruby’ for a few months and I can’t imagine being without her.

She has a one track mind and doesn’t let my two Yorkies detract her from her duties. She also is great at picking up cat litter, plus cat and human hair. Her extra little brush does a good job getting stuff away from the baseboard.

Ruby isn’t as loud as my regular old vacuum and weighs a lot less. Because of 'Ruby' I now move things that I haven't moved before when using the old vacuum.

I didn’t expect her charge to last long enough to clean more then one room, but many times I stop her because she has finished her work and cleaned all my floors.

'Ruby' also jumps over the metal strip separating the vinyl and ceramic tile like an Olympic star!

Once 'Ruby' has finished her work her cousin 'Scooby' takes over to wash the floors.

I love my robots!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

We have had "Buddy" for 2 years and he has become a member of our family. His battery no longer charges and we miss him greatly. We are ordering a new battery and hope that solves the problem. He gets stuck sometimes in the tracks of our sliders, so now we put a piece of wood in the tracks so that he can bounce off and continue his journey. We, at times, forget that he is a machine and turn on the lights--but he can do the job quite nicely in the dark. He keeps our cat and dog entertained when we are away which helps their loneliness. We talk about it so highly that already 2 of our friends have one of their own. Only wish there was one that could do the dusting!

I received two units today - a Scooba and Big Red Sampson my Roomba - I am on cloud nine. I own my own business and so I am working 24/7 - but I can't stand to work in a dirty enviroment.

Big Red went around my room and hit areas even my vac didn't cover with me lugging it around. Now I only do stairs!! LOVE IT - I suggest to anyone who decides to buy one READ the instructions - if you do follow the Roomba Rules you will have a friend for life!

Even my two little doggies were not bothered by Big Red - they run when I drag out the vac.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I bought one around February 5,2008 and so far it has done a good job cleaning up my floors. You will need to vacuum the floor first with a regular vacuum or let the red roomba run over it a few time and cleaning the dust bin (what I did). But, after that initial cleaning it does a good job of keeping the floor clean. I would have given it 5 stars, but the need to clean it so often and the short length of time I have owned it (unsure of how well it will hold up) kept it at a 4 stars.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

It only worked for 1 month???? I used it everyday as I have 2 boys and 1 big dog. I cleaned it like the book said. I can;t get it fixed I have taken it to two different places.

It should have lasted longer!!!!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I got Bob as an impulse thing, I was so impressed with the performance, that I bought Sam shortly after.
As a bit of a test of how well it cleans, I first cleaned the floor with the regular vacuum, changed the bag, and let Bob clean for three days, I vacuumed with the regular vacuum again, and checked how much dirt was in the bag. There wasn't any, which blew me away considering that I have two kids and a cat who constantly track dirt indoors. Bob cleaned just as well, if not better than my regular vacuum.
Now, I'll set Bob to clean the large room, and have Sam clean the kids' rooms, by the time I get back from class, both are done, and I can get to work on the rest of my chores for the day.
I plan on getting a Scooba just as soon as possible, I can't wait to cross sweeping and mopping off my list of chores.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

We've been using Roomba Red for about a year now and have been very happy with it. This is not a heavy duty vacuum, but does a commendable job of cleaning carpeted and bare floors. It does become entangled in carpet fringe; the room has to be prepared for Roomba; it does not climb onto thick carpet. We use Roomba to take care of general floor cleaning, since neither my wife nor I like to clean. Our home is cleaner now that we have Roomba.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I finally bought Romba after my mom fell down on ice and she could not do any work at home. Also becasue of my lazy dad does not help mom at home.

Best thing I ever did to help mom. I go to visit them, they have a clean floor.

I have had Roomba for almost 9 months and he has been wonderful -- and a very hard worker. I have uploaded videos of him wrestling the rug to YouTube and have talked my mother into getting one just like him. My boy has an attitude and has provided us with entertainment on occasion with some interesting manuevers. Sadly he has recently started behaving oddly and has lost his voice. [...].

We eventually got our roomba red after almost a year of thinking about it.We've recently renovated our house and roomba does a wonderful job at finding the fine dust and it wonderful that it cleans in hard to reach areas.It does miss some spots but then so do I.
It's great that it goes about doing it's work while I get on with my fun things.We make a great team.I wish it could clean itself.Now all I need is help with folding laundry.

This little jem can clear the room of 3 cats & then pick up the fur left by them. I'm disabled and would have very nasty floors without it. I am thinking of upgrading to get a bigger bin. The cats leave a lot of fur!!

I have had my "Old Red" for over 4 years and did not have any problem until I had to replace the battery October 06, the new battery went down just before the year was up, did not last any length between charges. A co-worker bought the same machine on my recommendation she had the same problem with her replacement battery. The replacement battery's have problems that were manufactured durning that time.

Our home has a central vac system, but my Roomba is much better --Press the button to turn it on and walk away. When I return, my floors are clean! It takes care of the kitchen tile, parquet in the entry, and the various area rugs so well. I love this thing. If I ever have to replace it, will probably get the one that automatically goes back to it's charger. Have had it over a year and never any problems.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I am disabled and suffer with chronic pain in my spine. I have had so many surgeries, and so many disappointments that I finally came to the realization that there were just some limitations that I had to learn to live with. One of those was running the vacuum cleaner. This may seem like a small feat to some, but when you live with chronic pain, even the smallest tasks can be overwhelming. We also have pets (which are very therapeutic), and also very hairy. We had purchased a very expensive, popular Vacuum cleaner we saw advertised on television, hoping that it would make this chore easier for me.(The model we chose was for households with pets, therefore we did pay more.) The Vacuum cleaner itself was a great product, however, it still took me hours to vacuum the house because I could only do a little bit at a time before having to sit down and wait for the pain to subside before starting again. It was so frustrating for me.
However, We are in the auction business so we find all kinds of neat gadgets. When my husband saw the Roomba Red, he was just thinking I'd like it because I'm the "Gadget Queen". Little did he know that this wonderful little machine would be a GREAT tool for me. I no longer had to spend hours vacuuming my house, and no more dealing with the pain associated with it. What a joy! I even did a test. I used the Roomba in a small area, both on carpet and on tile. Then I went back over the same area's with my expensive vacuum cleaner and was amazed that the Roomba had done such a great job, that the "other" vacuum had nothing to pick up.
Unfortunately, a few days ago, my poor little Roomba Red passed away (because it came to us used, we have no way of knowing how old it was, or how much it was used). I was heart broken. I finally drug out the old vacuum cleaner, and slowly, painfully made my way through the house. It was almost depressing!
You can believe me when I say that I am saving my pennies so that as soon as I can, I will replace the Roomba and go back to enjoying clean carpet and tile with no pain. Thank you for a wonderful product!

I received my Roomba Red for Christmas in 2005. I absolutely LOVE it! I can't imagine going back to a regular vacuum for everyday cleanings. I run Roomba in 1 or 2 rooms a day and by the end of the week, my whole house has been vacuumed twice. This little machine does a BIG job!

Get one! It works! And - it's amusing to watch, if you have nothing else to do. The best part is that it really cleans all by itself.

I received "Red" for Christmas. I love it! I have guests for the holidays and do not have time to drag out the vacuum. "Red" is so convenient and does such a great job. I can not believe the time he has saved me today. I would love another one for my upstairs. One of the features I like is how it goes to the base and recharges when it is "tired". I wish I could have one of those for my body. If you want something that will make you life a lot more pleasurable and restful I recommend this product. It is so easy to clean and my cats love to sit and watch it.

I have had Roomba Red for about 2-3 years now and its amazing how a robot can clean so well. It doesn't miss a thing and I have never had a problem with it. Cleaning and light maintenance takes minutes.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I bought my Little Red about a year and a half ago. I really did not expect that much from it, but I had been in an accident, and was not able to clean my apartment as much as I use to. I will say from the first day I used it I was amazed at what a job it did. I use to vacuum once a week, but now, Little Red does it 3 times a week and the place has never been cleaner. Also he goes places, like under the bed that I had never gone. You could say that he goes to places that no man has gone before, sorry Captain Kirk. But really, I could not be happier with the machine. In fact, that Christmas, I gave them out as gifts, and have received nothing but praise on what a great job they do. To prove how good they are, I took my upright vacuum and did the living room rug, then let Little Red go over it. My friends could not believe the cat hair and dirt it picked up, right after they had seen me vacuum the rug. I am now looking at the workshop model. Thank you iRobot!
