Product Description

iRobot Roomba Model 4220 Vacuum Cleaning Robot effectively cleans both carpets and hard floors. Roomba cleans hard to reach areas like wall-edges and beneath furniture. It automatically avoids stairs and other drop-offs and Roomba even senses dirtier areas and cleans more thoroughly in those spots. At the end of a cleaning cycle or when its battery is running low, Roomba returns to its Home Base to recharge. Roomba comes with 2 virtual walls that keep Roomba cleaning where you want it and out of off-limit areas.

Worked well

Reviewer: Ike Northlake,

It worked well. I loved it. The wife didn't. It didn't last in our house very long...

Didn't last

I have had a rarely used roomba 400 series for 4 years. It has not worked for the last year and I sent it in for diagnostic. Was told it needed over $200 in repairs. I've replaced the batteries 2 times and just can't spend any more money on a poorly engineered product. It was worked well when it worked but I certainly did not get much use out of it. As the roomba says, "Uh Oh".

Cleans well but.....

Cleans well but got noisier and noisier until the gears broke within one year. gggrrrrr Replaced with a Dirt Dog (Roomba) and am so much happier with it. Fewer doodads to break but cleans well.

Gets stuck sometimes

Reviewer: Cornell student,

What a great thing to have a machine do one's work. I'm very happy overall. However, there seem to be spots where the Roomba gets stuck and can't continue, in my case because of the edge of a carpet near a wall or possibly because of a raised doorsill next to a 1.5-inch dropoff. I guess I'll put one of the barrier beam devices to prevent the Roomba from going to the spots that make it stop. It also won't go down the 1.5-inch dropoffs (unless perhaps I covered the dropoff sensors), so it can't do my whole apartment at once.

only good on carpets

Since we got wood floors, with area rugs, we never use our Roomba anymore. It doesn't handle the uneven surface well. It also gets stuck a lot, and it's just easier to whip out the old vacuum cleaner. The old one picks up the dirt much better, too, and doesn't need to be emptied as often. Wish we hadn't bought the Roomba -- a good idea, but not a great product.
