Amazon.com Product Description
Enjoy effortlessly clean floors with this vacuuming robot. The unit senses, finds, and eliminates dirt while automatically adjusting to any floor surface including carpet, wood, tile, and linoleum. The round-shape vacuum goes where others can't like corners and edges, then returns to its self-charging Home Base where it automatically docks and recharges between cleaning cycles. In addition to active dirt detect, a stair-avoidance system, surface transitioning, and a bagless debris bin, the unit offers three cleaning modes (clean, spot, and max) and a standard, infrared remote control. The vacuum also provides an Advance Power Supply (APS) battery, which enables up to 120 minutes of continuous cleaning time, and an APS fast charger that fully charges the Roomba in less than three hours. Two virtual-wall units, which use an infrared beam to create a barrier, come included for cleaning only where desired. Each virtual-wall unit requires two D batteries (sold separately). Other accessories include two Roomba filters, documentation, an owner's guide, and a cleaning tool. The vacuuming robot measures 16-3/4 by 21 by 5 inches and carries a one-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

Makes life easier
I have no regrets about purchasing the Roomba. It helps to keep the carpet clean between sessions with the full-sized vacuum. I can run the Roomba as often as I like without worry, which helps to keep the dog hair at bay. It doesn't get stuck with power cords or suck them up which is great. Just turn it on and let it run on your way to work and you come home to a cleaner floor. Fabulous! Granted cleaning out the hair (dog hair + my long hair) out of the brush can be a bit of a pain but the cleaning tool really eases process. Now I only wish my dog weren't afraid of the little robot - I was hoping she'd get a kick out of it and try to play with it but no such luck. She just runs away whenever Roomba gets too close and looks at me for help.

If you buy used, Read this!!!
Alright, if you have hard wood, this is your dream! If you have shag or low pile, it really won't work well.
Now here is the Used buyer beware. I had not had a roomba before, and 30 mins after taking him out of the box, I was expert. First thing you need to do with a used machine is take the filter out! Take it out, and clean it cause people dont do that EVER! Second, take the brushes off. Can you get them off and on? Do they fit your machine? Are they dirty? In short, know your machine BEFORE you try to use it. After the purchase of a broken robot (i fixed him) AND another robot, I can say with assurance that the filter was NASTY both times. You say I am being to harsh? If your upright vac wont suck, would you empty the bag? If you check the filter, roomba should work well used.

Beware of used Roomba's!
We purchased a used Roomba Discovery on Amazon recently. It was advertised as being in like new condition. We charged the battery according to the instructions we found on iRobot's website. After being fully charged we tried to use it. It ran for a total of five minutes before the battery died. After a lot of trial and error and reading about the vacuum online we discovered that the battery should have been removed before being shipped. If you leave the battery inside the robot for a significant amount of time without vacuuming it will ruin the battery. Actually, in this case it ruined the entire vacuum. iRobot recommended we get our money back because nothing could be done to repair this robot.
