iRobot Roomba Discovery SE

Frankly, I was hesitant to order this because there weren't many reviews and replacement batteries from another vendor can sometimes be a little sketchy in my limited experience. The price made it worth trying for me, and I'm very pleased. The battery fits in my Roomba Sage perfectly, and it charged with no problem. It's been running for a while now doing the first cleaning (hooray for getting housework done while I'm on the computer). I'm happy!Get more detail about Tenergy 4905 Replacement... Read Full Story

iRobot 560 Roomba Vacuuming Robot, Black and Silver irobot 560, Cleans routinely, so you don’t have to. 500 Series robots offer the latest innovations from iRobot with unprecedented efficiency, coverage, and cleaning performance. irobot 560 Review I would like to see Roombas at various times over the years, and with this latest (newest, greatest) version, I decided Roomba 560 a shot. Now it runs much, much better than I had expected. I really thought it would be in other areas and not in a... Read Full Story

My wife and I decided to get one of these because our 8 month old son is about to start crawling. While we try and keep our floors clean, our beagle has other thoughts as she sheds all over the place. We went with the latest 560 model as it has just about everything we would want with a product like this. It works as advertised and we will definitley keep it but there are some areas that need improvement. Here is a quick breakdown of the pros and cons Pros 1. Quieter than a standard vaccuum...

The product I own is a Roomba 535; available only through a television retailer. However all the 500 series cleaning components are the same, only the battery life, lighthouse/virtual wall compatibility, and scheduling features differ. Note: This review is for the 500 series only. Its performance is greatly improved over earlier models. When the Roomba first appeared on the market several years ago I purchased one which wasn't worth the paper the owner's manual was printed on and it was... Read Full Story

I won't duplicate what others have said. On our hardwood floors Roomba does a better job than the top-rated cannister which we've been using. We have a good whole-house furnace filter and we don't get an enormous amount of dust, so I don't find that the Roomba dust tray fills up quickly. It's true that the Roomba needs minor regular maintenance (such as cleaning the brushes), but all vacuums need this, and they rarely get it. It is easier to perform that maintenance on a Roomba. Two things... Read Full Story

Did you ever just fall in love . . . with a piece of well-designed technology? I sure fell for this one. How lovely to have something else take care of one of my least favorite chores! Why I love this gizmo: (1) Goes about cleaning the floors quietly (forget the noise of a conventional vacuum cleaner); (2) Does a better job than I ever could because it can get under the beds fully to get out all the nasty little dust bunnies, and it crawls along the baseboard to pick up the bits that hide on...

I have been a long time customer of iRobot. I have had multiple early generation Roombas (and still have four fourth generation Roombas in my house). I bought two 560's in September and the side brushes became "amputees" within the first few weeks, with the brushes breaking off. When I called for Technical Support (not listed on their website: 877.855.8593) I was told it was a "known problem", and they would ship out the new redesigned side brush replacements as soon as received. Weeks later... Read Full Story

We have two Roombas plus a Scooba in our house. When one of the batteries on one of our Roombas finally reached the end of its life cycle, we decided to donate that Roomba to a friend and to get ourselves the new top of the line - the Roomba 560. We got this right when it first came out, but we waited several months before posting a review. It's pretty much impossible to review one of these Roombas after only a few days! It takes weeks if not months to start to see how well they last over... Read Full Story

After a lot of research, I finally decided to order the Roomba 560. Despite indications that it would need 16 hours for the first charge, it only charged for about an hour and was ready to go. I have to admit that I turned it on manually the first few times just to watch it bump around the room. I was skeptical about how well it would do in my apartment that is a combination of area rugs, tile, and hardwood. However, it did an excellent job. One thing that I will point out is that it is very... Read Full Story

We previously had a Roomba Red that we've had for 3 or 4 years. It recently stopped working (battery issues we think?) and rather than buy an expensive new battery, we decided to upgrade to the latest roomba. What an improvement it is! We liked our old Roomba, but this one is a million times better. I have it scheduled to vacuum every morning, and it begins faithfully at its appointed time. I can't believe the dirt and hair it is able to pick up off our floors! Even when I have just vacuumed... Read Full Story
