This is probably the best thing we have purchased for our new home. Everyday on the way home from work I start it from my phone and when I get home it’s getting done. We have two dogs that shed A LOT and I used to have to use lint rollers like crazy. I’m not even sure where they are anymore. And Joe at Best Buy is definitely our go to salesman, because of his kind way of explaining everything

This robotic vacuum does an impressive job of cleaning up pet hair and dirt off the floor. I am pretty sure it just saved my marriage. I could not handle the amount of pet hair coming off a pet that someone brought home without my permission. Things are manageable now. This vacuum is cheaper than a divorce and or therapy so you should just buy it. It is worth every penny. I love how thorough it cleans.

Get the better model with camera. This one picks up great, but navigated by running into everything. The better model has navigation. Other brands are less expensive. I Returned this one and got a less expensive brand that navigates better. Liked the Roomba though. Hope this helps.

It is a good product for the price and I would probably buy others for my family. But if you can afford go to a higher model with more “intelligence”.. some times they can not find the base and others looks like he is clean too much on place and is not going to some others

Selected this model to clean recently refurbished hardwood floors as a way to maintain those floors. It does an excellent job of cleaning the hardwood floors as well as the limited rugs. It is especially good at cleaning in and around furniture without taking the time to move that furniture.
Its convenience is just an additional part of its value.

This little thing has been great picking up the dog hair and small things when I don't wanna get the vaccum out. It's very very helpful. One of the best purchases yet.

Fail with cat hair

This is how Roomba 891 gathers cottony like long hair from cats all over the rug but can't seem to suck it up. Easier bending over to pick it all up than vacuuming myself I guess.
It's supposed to be good at pet hair

Best vacuum ever

Is it loud? ... I never have heard of a "quiet" vacuum. This thing is the greatest purchase, according to my wife. She loves it, even if it has an erratic cleaning pattern, and requires some room set up. Things to know:
you must remove objects form the floor that could get stuck, like cables, strings, and some rugs. the set up is worth the fact that you do not have to vacuum.
A person could vacuum faster; that is not the reason to buy this thing. yes, a person could move around a manual vacuum faster and get all the hard spots, but the whole point is that you don't have to.
Large spaces are hard to clean. The rumba seems designed to operate in rooms rather than warehouses.
For pets get the one that is recommended for pets, if not you will be dealing with the vacuum brushes getting bug and clog with pet hair.
so far works great in all surfaces, even on dirt when it escaped out the front door and went to clean the yard. That's how eager to clean this things are.
Transitioning from a thick rug to wood floor is hard for its wheels. It also does not pick up dirty laundry, so do not expect it to clean properly if you leave a bunch of stuff laying around on the floor.
Is an automatic vacuum, is great to make it clean while you do other things, but its is a vacuum, it won't pick up, it won't be quiet, it needs to be charged and emptied.
The best purchase so far, it gives us so much more free time.

We saw a 650 at a relatives place and decided we needed one. With four pets in the house thought we'd bump up to the 890. It took us a week to buy a second one (three floors) and have since convinced three friends to buy one. We should be getting a kickback on the sales, the Roomba is that good. Kind of felt like we were living in a dirty house and we have someone that cleans for us.

This will definitely not replace a good ole fashioned cleaning, but it works well enough. IT WILL GET STUCK. Probably will continue to improve, just make sure your floors are generally clear for this to work best.

I’m obsessed with this thing. I run it probably twice a day (upstairs once and down once) & am so satisfied with how much it collects each time. I do wish the battery life was longer and I didn’t have to dump it d much but I understand there are higher end models that do this. This really is great for our busy family!

Ever since getting this machine I no longer have to sweep or clean the floors. The floors are always spotless. I set the robot to clean every morning @ 9 am and after emptying a stack of hair from my Dalmatian and dirt it does wonders! I highly recommend for pet owners and anyone who wants to see their house clean without having to sweep everyday! Super convenient

Best deal on an iRoomba and Samsung Note cover

Purchased the iRoomba and Samsung Note cover as Christmas gifts.
The family who received these items opened them right away and are now using them. The verdict is that these are the best gifts they have received in many years. The mom will save time keeping her floors clean as she cares for her three children. The eldest son loves the cover for his Samsung tablet.

It seems to wander aimlessly around the house bumping into things. It often gets stuck under my rocking recliner. It also keeps me from having to sweep and now I don't have cat hair bunnies rolling around the floor when I come home after work. I like it!

This product works well. The navigation on it is ok. Seems to get stuck in several areas and can not find it’s was back home. It is louder than I expected. But am happy with it.

Terrible product compared to an old one

I had a Roomba 880 that worked pretty well until, after 9 months of use, started to give an error, apparently a very common error, and stopped working, so I went to Best Buy and returned it, I had the full insurance, and "upgraded" it for the 890.
Compared to old one, the 880, I consider got downgraded. Super dumb, every single day got stuck in the same spot, one of every five times went back to the base, the rest of the days I have to look for it and take it back to the base and get charged. Gives errors all the time.
I'm returning it for I don't know what, but I hate this Roomba
