Rating  - It Depends On...
It's usefulness depends on a few issues. I have a rapid charger so that helps. I do not depend on this to do my deep cleaning, but it's great for surface stuff. It's also GREAT if you're back is killing you or some other handicap prevents you from using a real vacuum. Mine runs forever and picks up a lot of dog hair, though not ground-in hair. I cannot leave the house and come back and expect it to be done, 'cause it's always getting caught on something (a throw rug or piece of furniture), but works out great if I'm at home doing other chores. It saves no time due to the fact I must spend 15 minutes cleaning out the dog hair once it's finished. But I use it when I'm lazy or hurting and save the cleaning out part for when I'm up too it.
Rating  - Low power, short life
Hi,
The battery in my iRobot Roomba Pro Intelligent Floorvac died after eight months of using it twice a week on hardwood floors. I might consider buying a new battery, but to spend $60 to keep the little guy working just isn't worth it because it won't clean my carpets.
I was very disappointed when I first got the vacuum. It just did not have the traction to keep moving on my carpet. It would go about ten feet and die. I have a plush carpet that is somewhat thick. I had heard that the vacuum did not work well on heavy carpet, but I thought they meant that it didn't do deep cleaning. I didn't realize that it would not work at all. I wasn't worried about the lack of deep cleaning. I just wanted it to handle the surface dirt and planned to do deeper cleaning using my regular vacuum.
I must say it worked fine on my hardwood floors and I used it weekly for them. It also seemed to work OK on rugs left on the hardwood floors--even those that were quite thick.
I'm giving it an overall rating of 2, but the breakdown would be:
4: hard surface
0: carpet
Rating - an expensive toy
Yes it vacuums but not well and not anything big, if you want a robotic vacuum that does what your human powered vacuum does now, wait.
Rating  - Don't waste your money!
This product is a piece of junk! I've had two now and they both have the same problem. They run for 3-7 minutes and then I have to spend 1/2 hour cleaning out the insides. IRobot has admitted that this model has "flaws" that have been corrected in later models, but they will not allow me an upgrade so I am stuck with this piece of crap. Don't bother!!
