We bought a Roomba 880 about a month ago. I am shocked at well this thing works.

One of the best features is that it forces you to pick up after yourself and de-clutter your floor to eliminate Roomba traps.
 It's a must-have for anyone who owns fur pets IMO. |

I'm not running one at the moment due to a construction project, but when I did I had two cats in the house, one being a longhair. For the first few weeks the bin filled up completely every day. After a while it started getting a little less than full, and the entire house was noticeably free of fur bunnies. It got down to a nice plateau of cleanliness. |

Yep, it's awesome. I have one dog (boxer) that doesn't even shed that much, but the amount of hair that thing picks up is crazy. I also have two little ones and the Roomba helps immensely with their crumbs.
Definitely some of the best money we have spent in this house hold. My wife went from vacuuming 2 times a day, to every other day. |

RCC, any input on why you choose the 880 over one of the lesser models? The website doesn't do much to differentiate between them except "newer!, faster! better!"

We have a 650. I'm amazed at the amount of hair it picks up from the dogs. Cool gizmo. Doesn't replace deep cleaning but helps to keep the floors in decent shape between cleaning

I think we are going to get one. Hardwood in most of the downstairs.
My inlaws have one. We named it Weebo. I wanted to paint it yellow and put an eye on it. They won't let me.

Jesus. I could have a roomba in every room for that. Consumer Reports doesn't rate a lot of Dyson products that well. But I love our Roomba. I got the "cheap" on on prime day. It does a great job. Will still need to do a deeper clean every now and then but DEFINITELY keeps things much cleaner Quote HistoryQuoted:

In that time, I have replaced the main roller brushes once, the circular spinning brush every three months or so (the arms break off after awhile because it hits one of the wheels as it spins), the battery, and the spinning brush motor after the threaded insert that holds the spinning brush stripped out, which turned out to be the hub of one of the plastic gears. It was cheaper to buy a whole new assembly. I would say that we have gotten more than our money's worth, and if you are at all handy with tools you can keep these things running for quite a while.

Get back to us after a year or so. It will mar all of your baseboards, doors, and door jams. Unless of course you like rounded corners and painting, sanding every 6 months.

Quote HistoryQuoted: The Dyson 360 Eye comes out next week. Blows the Roomba out of the water. I doubt it. I sold my Dyson DC07. I think my Shark Rocket is better and it's a stick vacuum. Now those aren't robot vacuums, I get that. But to me the Dyson products seem ok but their price and reputation both seem disproportionately high. I was happy with my DC07 for a while but finally I realized it really wasn't that good. |

Quote HistoryMy Roomba definitely picks up a lot of dust/dirt/hair based on emptying the bin but I have to admit that video makes the Dyson seem pretty awesome. It's unfortunate that the height will prevent it from going under some furniture but if you want a powerful motor and decent capacity battery it has to go somewhere. I guess I'll watch the reviews over the next few months and just might consider one. I have been considering a second Roomba so I don't have to carry the one between floors. |
