iRobot Roomba 560 Vacuum

Keeps our house clean

Strengths: Makes vacuuming fun! Does a decent job Can be scheduled to start itself, up to once every day of the week Handles most obstacles well Notifies you of any problems Navigates back to its charging base

Weakness: Needs minor maintenance after every run Sometimes mistakenly thinks it's stuck Can't handle black flooring If you watch it expecting a normal cleaning pattern, you'll get frustrated

I bought this for my house because we're generally too busy or lack the motivation to vacuum ourselves. The house can take two hours to vacuum by hand. I scheduled this Roomba (currently unnamed) to clean the main part of our house daily when no one is home and it has been keeping the house much cleaner than we ever could ourselves. Our house layout is complicated, with many transitions between...

Roomba 560 Vacuum

Strengths: It cleans everywhere in my house.

Weakness: It can't clean the corner.

I am satisfying this product. It does clean my entire house. However, it does have a problem to clean the corner. Its sharp is a circle and really hard for it to run to the corner. So, your corner may still dirty.

Great robot to keep my living room clean!

Strengths: easy to setup and use, works hard (as hard as myself), do clean the floor and carpet

Weakness: brush breaks really easy, sometimes will stuck, light house is confusing

I am a super busy guy, and always want to buy a Roomba to keep my living room clean, and I did. This baby works hard to keep my living room really clean, and every time when I clean it's gabage bag, I was supprised how much dust it collected, it's very easy to set up, and it runs pretty much on its own. Two things are not pleasing: sometimes I'll have to look around to find it, since it will...

Excellent Product!

Strengths: Great improvement compared to previous models. Much less noises and does not get tangled or stuck easily.

Weakness: The part that bumps at walls or furnitures gets scratched easily and affects the appearance. I think it can be improved by replacing plastics with steeless materials.

This is one of the great product that really helps in your house. It does all the work for you and frees you to do other things. It has greatly improved compared to previous versions. Moves around much easily. The virtual wall works fantastically. The price is my main concern so shop around for better deals.

Love my Roomba 560

Strengths: More powerful, longer charge, adjusts to clean tile, hardwood floors and carpet with ease.

Weakness: Haven't found any!

I recently upgraded my Roomba, I have to say this one tops the charts. I love that you can schedule any day or time of the week or even everyday of the week to automatically start vacuuming, it also tells you when to clean the brushes. I'm really happy with this new model. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a vaccum to do all the work so you don't have too...

Roomba 560 Vacuum (Robotic, Bagless)

Strengths: Scheduling, virtual walls/lighthouses.

Weakness: Small trash bin, weak battery, high price, can't walk on stairs :).

It cannot replace regular vacuum, but it does increases intervals between regular vacuuming keeping floor clean of the dust and small trash, making floor look clean what in turn makes my wife a lot happier. It returns to charging base automatically and with scheduling feature is great for one story houses.

Roomba 560 Vacuum (robotic bagless) experience

Strengths: Automatic, programmable, self charging and docking.

Weakness: Slow, trap in low clearance furniture, small collection container.

I tried out the Roomba vacuum this week and find it to be quite useful. The robot initially moves in what looks like random direction. But a longer observation reveils the it does cover the entire reachable floor surface. Although it take a long time (20 min per room). I have a dinning room set with chairs that has a low clearance. The robot tend to get stuck between the chair legs. After just 1...
