Good idea poorly executed, the unit is poorly designed and to top it off cheaply constructed. The dust gets in everywhere in the unit, removing the bin spills things all over the place. Minimal debris/dust collection capacity, a cup maybe which is nothing compared to 1-2 gallons in normal vacuums, filter the size maybe a quarter of the table napkin. Laughable. Suction power equally laughable. Constructed extremely cheaply to drive renewed purchases I quess. Good only for occasional finishing sweeps (it goes... more info
I LOVE IT!:
I LOVE this little robot! It works well above my expectations! I have been nothing but impressed with what a good job it does. I loved it so much that I purchased one for my Brother, my Dad, and my future in-laws. Having the home base is a great idea!

It cleaned the whole upstairs in 45 minutes, and you can tell... more info
Marketing is ahead of quality:

I liked our Roomba, but it wasn't worth the $200+ dollars for just a year of service. Ours died just outside of the 1 year warranty, and iRobot had very little comment. First they told me to buy a new battery. However, a family member let me borrow a new, unused battery (which I prepared as per the instructions) and it didn't cure the problem. After another email or two in which... more info
