"We have three kids, two dogs, and a cat that sheds more than both dogs combined, and having robot vacuums has been a game changer. ... But the robot keeps the main areas of the house from getting hairballs and dirty."
"I've had my roomba for like 5 years now.. We have 3 big dogs and a cat, in a small house. Still works great, I've replaced the brushes and obviously the filters on it but it still works awesome."
"No more golden tumble weeds lining the hallway"

"I upgraded to a roomba with the self emptying thing and I love it."
"Now we have two good ones (iRobot) with the bin that they self empty into when they get full. ... Before we got the one with the bins, it would get full and need emptying before it finished a whole cycle. Now it goes and empties itself and then goes back to cleaning."

"I bought one well over a year ago possibly on year 2. ... If it only lasted a year I’d buy another one. ... It works as well as it did when I bought it."

"It runs daily at 9:30 am, recharges and empties itself, then finishes rhe rest around 2 in the afternoon. ... That robot is a wonderful thing."

magmag2x4 1.0Agreed! We just got the 504 plus and love it.
Do you mean one like the 504 plus? The green roller, rubber brushes? Mine doesn't do that but it is new.
I have a golden retriever and just got the Roomba 504 Plus. I love it! No more golden tumble weeds lining the hallway and it empties itself 🙂
RicoRavenpaw 1.0I just went from a roomba i3 to a Roomba plus 504, it's a vacuum with an auto empty dock. Two giant dogs, tile/rugs/carpet in our home and expecting our first baby. This version is smarter and quieter than our last one, with multiple cleaning modes (smart, spot, standard, and deep) and the map is user friendly! I can just select what rooms I want and what type of vacuuming I want and it does it's thing. If it gets too full mid job it goes and empties itself. The auto dock is loud like a shop vac or tiny jet, but it's only about 10 seconds of noise and it's done. The dock lets you know when the bag is full. I work 10 hour days and come home, eat dinner, and while I shower I select a room or two for it to go to town on. It doesn't bump into stuff like the i3 did because it has a front camera, headlight, and better LiDAR system. I know Roomba is facing a financial crisis and potential bankruptcy, but I'm not regretting my purchase whatsoever. I got it on sale for black Friday from Amazon for 379 (and then it went down further to 329 lol)
skillzmaster77 1.0You care about mopping? If not then I’d recommend the 504 plus or the 705 plus. 504 plus is same as 705 plus except a bit lower suction power
RoombaCollectorDude 0.2Buy an old roomba instead, (500/600/700/800/900) they are the most reliable you can get.
Flat_Direction1452 0.0I'd recommend an older roomba model as well, 500 or 600 series. They're very easy to take care of and repair, clean really well, are simple, and last. I have one of those cheap ionvac models you've probably seen. It's better than I expected, but an older roomba is way better still.
Jefreta 0.0I Jumped the Robo Vacs wagon with a cheap " bump and go " to see if it was a fit for me.. Finally gave up after 3 years, RIP, so decided to get into the new Roomba line with Lidar and " advertised" better bells and whistles.. My dead $80 Vac beats the hell put of the $250 I paid for this crap and the headaches I endured with the software wasn't worth it.. Still after many updates, my Lefants software was better than this one.. Roomba is on it's way out and rightfully so..
Leather_Bicycle_2697 0.0My Roomba is also lasting like forever, I just replace the battery every couple years and it still comes back with a lot of debris it captured. The bot is 880. Also their new LiDAR bot is high quality too
FabricStash 0.0What you need is a Roomba with a base: the "+" model. It self empties into the base. It changes your life. I have an old English Sheepdog
Upset_Mycologist_345 0.0We named our Roomba Harry. We have a lab/beagle mix.
CoffeeByIV 0.0If you get a roomba I highly recommend one that self-empties into a tower. We run ours 4 days a week in our bedroom, the living room, front hall. Kitchen, dining room. It keeps the ACD tumbleweeds at bay between weekly Dyson vacuumings.
