The Bottom Line: Join the Jetsons and get a vacuuming robot to help with your busy schedule. Roomba will do it for you.

Review: A few months ago I was perusing the AmEx website with some points burning a hole in my pocket. Honey and Johnny were across the country. AmEx had a deal on a Roomba 560. I thought I would surprise them on their return and ordered one. It arrived the same ...

Pros: The only thing that you have to do on a daily basis is clean it.

Cons: This is a little bit pricey but well worth the money.

The Bottom Line:

If you like those electronic gadgets then you need to get this for your house.

Review: Years ago, when my wife and I purchased the original Roomba, which was a close copy of this model.  The irobot Roomba 560 robotic vacuum can do carpet, hardwood floors, vinyl, ceramic tile, and just about any type that you can think of.  They ...

Pros: Main brushes don't eat rug tassles. Lighthouse virtual walls.

Cons: Doesn't fit under my style couches.

The Bottom Line: Worth the upgrade. Enough significant changes to warrant the purchase

Review: I have had this Roomba 560 for about a week now. I have 3 other Roomba models, all of the last generation, which is the third. The new Roomba 560 has onboard scheduling, a very nice feature. My other Roomba models are scheduled via the remote that ...

Pros: Automatic, Cleans Well, Easy to Maintain

Cons: None

The Bottom Line: We love everything about our Roomba - it tames the dog hair and dirt and does it well!

Review: I had the pleasure of test driving an iRobot Roomba 560 and just minutes into the first vacuuming I was in love!  So much so that I purchased one!  Even my VERY skeptical husband approves of it!  We are a dust bunny-free home now ...

Pros: It does the work, easy to empty out, programmable

Cons: might not cover every square inch of the house.

The Bottom Line: I love this product!!!

Review: I have had my new Roomba 560 for a little over a week and I have to tell everyone how much I love this machine. I have a massive amount of open floor space in my living room. It is mostly wood floor with a couple of rugs. We just built are house about a ...

Pros: Convenience, thorough job, Irobot customer support, battery life, ease of use, scheduling ability.

Cons: Small dustbin, needs emptying often. Brushes need cleaned often. Cost.

The Bottom Line: Imagine a maid coming daily to vacuum your entire home.  Feel the clean carpet and floors under your bare feet?  You can feel that way too, from now on!

Review: We got this Roomba to replace an older model and we just love her. HER, yes it is a her. It cannot be a him, she works TOO HARD. We love our roomba. She has become a member of our family. We bought it because we had a 18 month old toddler who was ...

Pros: Does the work for you. Affordable. Quiet. IT'S A ROBOT!!!

Cons: Needs initial 16 hour charge. Batteries not included. BumperStrip needs to be applied to front.

The Bottom Line: Simple. Easy to use. Does the work for you!

Review: I'm a single guy, soon to be married, that has a cleaning lady come every 2 to 3 months to do the real dirty work. So rather then call her for her quarterly visit, I took the money I would normally give her and invested it in this. Anyways, on with my ...

Pros: Almost everything.  Very efficient!

Cons: frequent cleaning of brushes 

Review: Short & sweet.... it does exactly what you bought it to do.  Roomba 560 (on your schedule) cleans the floors, goes under the furniture, close to baseboards, and around corners doing a much better job than I ever could!  It docks itself, ...

Pros: quiet, great suction, modular parts

Cons: cost, 1 year warranty

Review: I have owned 2 roomba schedulers, each lasted slightly over 11/2 years. the brushes stopped working and they started making a very loud grinding noise. We used them every day ( and cleaned them everyday) on our hardwood floors, we do not have any ...

Pros: Battery life, vacuum power

Cons: Noisy

The Bottom Line: A step above the old models and definitely a time saver, and despite the noise, it's hard to argue with a clean house.

Review: About two years ago I decided to do a little test and I bought the Roomba Discovery. I intended to use it to maintain some semblance of cleanliness in my kitchen and living/dining room areas. After much anticipation regarding the no-doubt-soon-to-be ...

Pros: Great on wood and tile. Smaller jobs don't challenge the battery.

Cons: Occasionally gets stuck. Untested on carpet.

Review: I've had a good experience so far with my 560. I have an apartment with all wood floors. It doesn't take too long to get the place done and I don't think the little guy gets stuck nearly as often as I expected given several obstacles at my place. I...
