Long time Roomba User Upgrades to the new Roomba 500 series

Pros Roomba Cleans so you don't have to/ awesome customer service
Cons Requires regular cleaning of brushes
Recommended it? Yes

I have owned 3 discovery model Roombas for several years and am totally sold on the concept of having a robot vacuum. It keeps my home cleaner because I do not have to do it so it can get done more frequently.

How does Roomba 500 series Work?

Roomba - A Great Cleaning Appliance

bywhuffo Sep 23, 2011
19 Helpfuls 20 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Fun to watch and cleans floors very well while it lasts.
Cons Cheap junk which fails quickly; the replacments fail just as quickly.
Recommended it? No

Unfortunately, these things are junk. I bought one from Costco; it lasted a month. Took it back and exchanged it for another one which lasted 90 days and died. Took that back; no exchange, they didn't have any more. Got a refund and bought one from their online store - that one was the best of all... Read full review »

iRobot Roomba 550 Review

Ever since I first heard about the Roomba vacuum-cleaning robot several years ago I had been interested in getting one. Not only is it a bit of a novelty to have a robot around the house, but who doesn't want a vacuum that does all of the work for you? Never... Read full review »

"Rob": The Outstanding Little Vacuum

Pros Cleans well, rugged contruction, and cool acessories
Cons Maintainence factor, gets stuck on high pile area rugs.
Recommended it? Yes

I received this unit for Christmas 2006. It was purchased at Costco with some extras. I've been very happy with it. It seems to fit the bill for cleaning up light dirt, pet hair, and things. It also doesn't seem to get hung up on things left on the floor, like papers and other small articles. The... Read full review »

Roomba 550 - problems with hair pickup

byhandl Feb 25, 2008
12 Helpfuls 13 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picks up dirt well. Quieter/gentler than older models.
Cons Doesn't work when there is a lot of hair.
Recommended it? Yes

This is the 3rd Roomba I've owned. I bought it at Costco because I liked my Discovery models and heard about all the 550's improvements over the older Discovery models. It's quieter, picks up more dirt, slows down before contacting walls, has certain areas on the machine blocked off so it's easier... Read full review »

An amazing contraption!

Pros Clean floors all the time, no effort required.
Cons Doesn't work perfectly with small rugs.
Recommended it? Yes

We have a house with all wood flooring and 2 large dogs that shed year round. Even with diligent cleaning, our floors were usually filthy within 36 hours of vacuuming. The Roomba 550 has changed that! Every day while we're at work, our trusty Roomba wakes up, vacuums the first floor of our house,... Read full review »

Love the Roomba 550

bystephifarrell Dec 22, 2007
4 Helpfuls 5 Helpfuls Was this review helpful?
Pros Picks up tons of dirt. Has nice beeping sound when it needs attention.
Cons ?
Recommended it? Yes

This is a great product to keep floors clean. It gets to places that I can't reach easily - like behind the armoire, under the bed and beneath furniture that my broom & floor vac can't get to without moving the furniture. We bought the Roomba 550 at Costco for about $275. Our house has about 2100... Read full review »

Pros Dependable<br>Does a great job<br>Easy to clean<br>Cleans corners great
Cons Occasionally gets stuck under my bathroom cabinet where it overhangs.
Recommended it? Yes

With 2 large dogs in the house... the hair accumulation requires daily sweeping so I felt lucky to find this unit at Costco for around 270.00.  I have NOT regretted it and my daughter just got one as well.  I have had mine for approximately 8 months now and am grateful every day.  I have tile and...

Pros Cleans corners and edges well, good pick up!
Cons Hair mostly sticks to brushes requiring daily cleaning.
Recommended it? Yes

I purchased my Roomba from Costco as well and have been really impressed! It does a great daily cleaning so that when we get home from work, the floors do not have the daily debris from our 4 dogs! We clean the vacuum every evening of the dog hair and dirt and it is ready for the next day. It is... Read full review »
