does the job, but noisy and requires attention

We have a pet hair challenge. iRobot is up to the task and does a good job over the hardwood floors and a reasonable job on carpet. No maintainance issues after 4 months - except I must clean it after each use because of all the hairs. That takes about 3 minutes. My biggest complaint is that it is NOISY! Plan on no TV or radio while it's running. It really is as noisy as a standard vacuum. Oh, it takes about six times longer to let this ibot clean versus using my old upright vacuum. 3 stars is fair.

Not reliable enough.

Reviewer: Anne Omniuss,

My husband got me the green Roomba around a year and a half ago as a gift. When it was new, the Roomba was fantastic. I hate vacuuming and it did a good job. I didn't even mind that I had to clean the brushes quite a bit. It does have a few issues though. It is constantly getting stuck in the fringe of my area rugs and when it goes over a heating vent it starts to climb up the wall and gets stuck. I don't know if they've improved that with new models or not. What bugs me about the Roomba now is how unreliable it is. Within a year, I had to replace the battery and one of the brushes. That ran me over $100. I've had numerous other problems with it too. Sometimes the wheel gets stuck and it barely moves. Sometimes, it moves but won't pick up dirt. Sometimes the power button just won't turn on. It also has to be kept pretty well cleaned or dirt, especially pet hair, messes with the sensors. It frustrates me that a vacuum cleaner that cost over $200 when new is less than two years old and barely works. I've got a 10 year old Hoover than cost less than $100 that still runs like a champ with less maintenance. I think a vacuum that vacuums for you is still a great idea, but I wish that mine ran a little better.
