Early Adopters Pick: March 2003. The first automatic vacuum available in the U.S.; introduced by iRobot, pioneers of artificial intelligence.
Roomba, the first automatic vacuum available in the U.S., is an intelligent vacuum that uses robotic technology to deliver both clean floors and personal time. Roomba uses artificial intelligence algorithms to clean efficiently and was introduced by iRobot, pioneers in artificial intelligence who have built numerous products for the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. military, and toy and energy companies. Thirteen inches in diameter and lighter than your average bowling ball, this innovative vacuum roams the room devouring dust, dirt, and tidbits left behind from everyday living.
Setting up your Roomba for its first sashay through the living room is fairly easy. You'll want to move any clothing, papers, cords, and fragile items off the floor before you start. You may choose to set up the Virtual Wall unit, which emits a beam to redirect the Roomba, keeping it out of unwanted areas. Make sure the rechargeable battery is fired up by checking the indicator light, set the Roomba in the center of the room, and press the corresponding button for a small (10 by 12 feet), medium (14 by 16 feet), or large (15 by 20 feet) room. When Roomba starts cleaning, it travels around the floor in a spiral pattern. When its bumper touches a wall, Roomba follows the wall for a short time, utilizing its spinning side brush to move objects away from the wall and into the vacuum's path. Then Roomba crosses the room in straight lines. It repeats this pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed, providing maximum cleaning coverage.
Although it may look more like a Frisbee than a vacuum, the Roomba cleans carpet, wood, linoleum, and tile, and comes with many of the usual vacuum accoutrements. The agitator brush roll picks up large debris, sucking it into the removable particle bin with filter. An edge-cleaning brush helps get into corners and angular areas. All the brushes and compartments can be removed for regular cleaning maintenance, and the unit comes with two replacement filters. Additional Virtual Wall units, battery packs, and a rapid charger can be purchased separately. The Roomba is covered by a 90-day parts and labor warranty. --Rhonda Langdon

A Converted Roomba User!!! LOVE IT! I made fun of a friend who had one until he turned it on and off it went to clean his outdated sculpted shag carpeting from the 60's or 70's
It doesn't work really well on carpeting, at least mine doesn't but it not a problem because I have wood floors.
My kids would come over and make fun of all the dust bunnies flying around because I have an active dog. Now they are amazed at how clean and shiny the floors are! Mine doesn't have the liquid but it does seem to put a shine on the floor.

Was Very Skeptical But Ended Up Amazed! I am a clean freak! I own a Rainbow Vacuum Cleaning System, but with a bad back I had to find another way to maintain my floors. I fought my husband's suggestion to by a "Roomba" robotic vacuum for months. However, after my second "in-hospital lower back pain shots" within six months, I knew I would have to concede. Hello? How did I ever get along without ROOMBA? All you have to do is empty the dust bin after "Robbie" works non-stop for about an hour and the proof is there! He can CLEAN!! I... more info
Roomba -- you'll love it, AT FIRST, BUT THEN ... This could be, perhaps, the best, most time-saving item on the market today, if it weren't for all its problems. It's such a great time- and back-saver that I now own three different models, none of which currently works (which is per usual). I have bought new batteries, charges, machines, wheels, software, some of which more than once. It's so good that, when a new model would come out, I would buy it hoping that it would have less problems than the previous version (e.g., if you're an old-time customer,... more info
