"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."
"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."
"No more golden tumble weeds lining the hallway"

"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."

"my roomba with self-emptying base is a - and I cannot stress this enough - fucking lifesaver. ... I owned one without the self-emptying base thing and I never used it because emptying it every time it was full was a barrier I wouldn’t get past. Getting the base where the roomba empties itself is a GAME CHANGER."
"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."
"I upgraded to a roomba with the self emptying thing and I love it."

Agreed! We just got the 504 plus and love it.
r/roomba • Roomba that would stand a chance with a Golden Retriever ->Do you mean one like the 504 plus? The green roller, rubber brushes? Mine doesn't do that but it is new.
r/roomba • Roomba that would stand a chance with a Golden Retriever ->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 🙂
r/roomba • Roomba that would stand a chance with a Golden Retriever ->You 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
r/roomba • Roomba recommendation ->I'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.
r/RobotVacuums • $100 Robot Vacuums: Worth It for Small Spaces? Please help me... ->I 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..
r/smarthome • What's the best Robot Vacuum with Mop you are using and loving now? ->My 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
r/RobotVacuums • How do you guys make your robot vacuums last longer? ->What 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
r/roomba • Roomba that would stand a chance with a Golden Retriever ->Mine is named Robbie, I can’t keep the floor clear enough to use him. My goal for the weekend is to clear his path. Wish me luck!
r/adhdwomen • Messy moms who got a roomba, how did it go? ->Hi, I’m not a mom but my roomba with self-emptying base is a - and I cannot stress this enough - fucking lifesaver. I have three cats, have hardwood and carpet and the roomba is literally one of the only reasons my floors look even remotely clean. Beware: I owned one without the self-emptying base thing and I never used it because emptying it every time it was full was a barrier I wouldn’t get past. Getting the base where the roomba empties itself is a GAME CHANGER.

r/homeowners • Are robot vacuums worth it? I’ve got 4 small kids and I’m always sweeping up the kitchen. Now I have a crawling baby so I’m thinking about getting a robot vacuum, preferably the mop/vacuum kind but they are so expensive! Curious if they are worth it and an investment. ->I guess I’m the outlier here but I love mine. I have the self emptying, mapping Roomba. It mapped my space great and does a really good job cleaning. Self emptying is the best upgrade, as I previously had a much cheaper model and haaaated emptying that thing constantly.
