Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

Bertha is a busy robot. I push her button and she goes around in circles then takes off here and there for about 25 minutes. She is very quiet. She does better in the larger rooms, in my small bath she can't get by the stool, but she does a great job on the middle of that room. I move her to a new room when she shuts off. I go to the finished rooms and clean any spots on the carpet and wipe up scuff marks and clean by the stools, and then my floor work is done.

The description is misleading about having a home base. I can't even order one. I need two lighthouses. You are better off getting the 232 by the time you have to order an extra light house and the 510 not having a home base.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I got tow Rombas at the same time: 510 and the 400 series. I use both at the same time in a large 3 bedroom house. I have a Pug dog that produces a lot of hair, so my Roomba's are always making sure that my hardwood floors are clean without dogs hair.
I turn them on every other day before going to work, and empty the bins when I return home. I clean the brushes every other week...pretty easy maintenance comparing to a real vaccum cleaner.

Bottom Line:
Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

Like I said, I love our Roomba! I'd like to say it is a time saver but I love to watch the little thing scoot around so I spend a lot of time watching it. I help it out and pick up items it may have a problem with: the dog bed, the phone charger cord and things like that. Our house is mostly hardwood floors with several rugs throughout and the Little Guy has no problem with any of it. We do have one chair that it likes to get stuck on so I simply use the virtual wall to keep it away from the chair. Our Roomba picks up so much dust and dirt that I didn't know we even had in the house. Our previous vacuum must have really sucked (no pun intended) because we never picked up so much stuff. I love everything about our Roomba. If I had to pick one negative thing, it would be that it is loud, but it IS a vacuum and they are inherently loud. If it was quiet, I wouldn't know it was working. It is hard to look at the Little Guy scooting around and not think of it as another member of the family.. kind of like a little pet. BUY A ROOMBA! You'll love it!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

Technically we have 3 Roomba'. My favorite is the Scheduler 560, which is what I thought I was getting, this time, when I ordered it with my U**** MIles. Whoops wrong picture. My ONLY gripe having to track this little sucker down and haul it back to the charger. OK, I'm lazy but then that's why I've got these things. We've got Cats, Dogs & Birds, all the machines do a good/very good job with the leaves, hair, birdseed and whatever else is on the floor. I'm looking for one more for the second floor.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

This works well for the saturday morning and sunday morning cleaning. Picks up 2/3 of the dirt and hair that I pick up daily. Helps out but does not take care of all the cleaning. 26 cats and 4 dogs put out a lot of hair. Takes me about 5 minutes to clean the roomba. Doesn't seem like much time but that is the time to clean one room. I have a 510 and would never reccomend it. Get the one that wil schedule. It is fun tryiing to find Jim every morning.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I REALLY like my Roomba! We have 4 kids and a dog so our house (and me too) gets a real workout. I just set my Roomba and let it do its thing. It's much quieter than a regular vacuum cleaner so it's not very disruptive. If it's upstairs and I'm downstairs you can't hear it running. You might not want to talk on the phone with it in the same room, although you could if you really wanted to - it's about as loud as an air purifier. The dirt bin pulls out easily to dump, I like that it separates the dirt into 2 compartments. One has the finer dust, the other holds the chunkier dirt - good for digging out the occasional small lego.
It doesn't take forever to charge, and can clean several small rooms on one charge.
I think I'm most impressed with its ability to clean corners. I really thought I'd end up sweeping or vacuuming in the corners or along the edges, but no, I was wrong! It cleans under the beds, chairs, couch - whatever it can squeeze under - it cleans under things I don't even clean under (at least not more than once every year)! It can handle going over thresh holds and stops itself before it falls downstairs. It even tells you if it has hair or something binding up the wheels.
The only down falls I can think of is that it doesn't handle soft area rugs well, stiffer living room ones maybe, but not small bathroom rugs. It kind of bunches the rug up. This model doesn't dock itself either - which doesn't really matter to me - I carry it upstairs, out on the porch or kitchen (which is gated for the dog) so even if it did have docking capability chances are it wouldn't be able to get back to the base from most of the rooms anyway. It has a carrying handle and isn't terribly heavy.
It's definitely worth the money. If your an over-worked, over-tired Mom it's a handy tool. It frees up some time to do something else - like play with the kids, help my hubby or clean the refrigerator...

My Robot's Name:
Irobot roomba 510
Bottom Line:
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I thought I would give this product a try. I was really excited to start using it. I've found it works better in much smaller rooms than medium to large size rooms and the suction is not very powerful at all. My main bedroom is the room I'm in most of the time and so is my dog (Jack Russell Terrier). My dog likes to leave bits of rope bone or fuzzies and such all over and I thought this would help minimize that but it minimally picks that stuff up. Even going over a spot over 10 times there was visible "stuff" on the floor it could have picked up (that a normal vaccuum would have). So overall I'm a little disappointed but it isn't bad other than that.

I had heard of the Roomba but thought it was a gimmick and not worth even thinking about. But then I read several posts on an email list I belong to and went right out and bought Gloria. I've told all my friends about it and 3 have/will purchase their own. What a great idea! I only wish I had bought her much sooner.

Cleans well, fewer -options-
By CraigVerified Reviewer from Bothell, WA on 4/17/2008

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

In general the 500 series cleans better than any prior units I've owned (3-"Red's", 1-Scheduler). This is the first generation I've owned which will slow down before touching furniture and walls. Earlier units used to "bump" obstacles with an audible noise. It is also better at not getting hung up on things like furnace grates and tasseled rugs. It is also quieter than earlier units.

I was quite excited about getting this unit and then disappointed by something that wasn't clear in the sales literature. All prior units I owned have the ability to dock and charge. This "feature" makes it easy to find when you need it next (as opposed to finding it hiding under the middle of a King size bed, sofa, or chest when it completes cleaning. There is a review posted here claiming this unit docks, and the docking "feature" is also covered in the enclosed manual, however this is the first unit I've seen which won't dock. There is no "dock" button, and manually setting the 510 on my 570 charger confirmed the two screws on the bottom are not "charging buttons". The 570 has two electrical squares used for charging the unit after it automatically docks. i.e. It can "feed" itself (anthropomorphic behavior) and be found in a predictable location.

I owned 3 first generation "Reds", a "Scheduler", a "570", and have given away several Roomba Robots as gifts. I feel the ability to later purchase a docking station (as I did with the "Reds") is an important omission and change in product offering for a long time customer. I'm disappointed this wasn't covered more clearly in purchase information, and is even hard to figure out from information sent with the unit. I expect better information from a company like I Robot.

After scouring this site I was able to determine from omission of information that the 510 does not have docking and the 530 does. I will be returning my 510 unit for a 530.

I haven't owned the 510 or the 570 long enough to comment about battery life, which is a problem in all earlier units. Longer battery service life (promise of battery lasting longer than one year) is what caught my eye on this one. Earlier units seemed to burn out the $70 battery pack in about 1 year. The 500 series doesn't appear to have a user replaceable battery pack like earlier units. This is another "feature" I'm missing after my experience with earlier unit batteries.

I like Rooma vacuums, but I'd think hard about docking before purchasing this one.

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

This is a GREAT product! I received my Roomba today and let it do its thing. Dozens of people have lived in this apartment's bedroom before me and it seemed like I could never get all the mess from the prior tenants out of my room. But, I let the Roomba loose to attack the mess and found that I had no idea how much hair, dust and really bulky items (beads, hair ties, receipts) were hiding on my floor! Although this vacuum does not have a home base charger or scheduling system, it works great for my needs! I'll just turn it on before I leave for class and come home to a nice, clean bedroom. My roommates are uneasy about having a robot do our cleaning (they believe it'll get mind of its own one day), but I'm sure they won't have a problem giving up on the heavy, ineffective vacuum we currently own. The only reason I have to hang on to the upright vacuum is to get between furniture and walls that the Roomba is too wide to fit. If that's the only vacuuming I have to do for the rest of my life, I'm ecstatic! THANKS iROBOT ROOMBA!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

A golden retriever and a long haired cat--you bet I love my roomba! Three wishes:
1. I wish it would do stairs--we live in a three story house with a lot of stairs.
2. I wish the wheels were sealed better. The dust bunnies get into the gears. My husband takes everything apart--right down to the gears. As soon as it starts to bump, we know it's going to need that extra cleaning. Also, the spinning brushes broke off the first month. I was surprised at that. We will have to order new ones. I do use it every day!
3. I wish I had one for every floor!

Comments about iRobot iRobot Roomba® 510 Vacuum Cleaning Robot:

I am shocked. I had it set in my mind that I wouls probably send this back- I didn't think that it could live up to all the hype.

BUT from the second that I set it up to clean- I WAS HOOKED !! I love my roomba!!

It is like a little human being. I, and everyone who comes over just love to watch it go to work...I have a golden retriever and a longhaired cat (lots of hair!!. It picks up so much hair!!!
I do have to clean the brushes after each room but I am glad to do it- I LOVE that it is picking up all this hair that I couldn't even see.
I do it after the maid leaves and I get more hair!
the only way that I would give up my roomba is to upgrade !! It is GREAT for all the dust and hair on the laminate and slate floors also!!

We have four grandchildren all under the age of 8 years who are at our house 3-4 times a week. We also have two dogs and one cat. Haven't tried this product on carpeting but my daughter says it is great for that. It is a wonderful time-saver for me and does a great job on my hardwood floors and marble tile floors. I work full-time and now have freed up some time for other chores or playing video games with the children. Definitely worth the money and I recommend to everyone!
