Rating  - Better than expected, but consider the 560
We recently received this as a wedding shower gift and have really enjoyed it.
Vacuum Performance - It seems to vacuum really well. We recently had carpet installed in part of the house, and this did a great job of getting all of the loose fibers out of the carpet. Also, I accidentally left a screw on the floor and this had no problem picking it up. The only con - which I knew going in - is that I do not believe it is hypoalergenic like some upright vacuums.
Maintenance - The unit is really easy to clean, and the bin is a cinch to empty.
Coverage - Ultimately, I think most people are sceptical that it will cover an entire room, but it really does. You can tell by the vacuum lines. Not only does it cover what you would usually vacuum but it gets under dressers, beds, etc. better than I would with an upright. The only Con is that it takes longer than a person would. A room I could vacuum in 5 minutes takes the Roomba 30. This isn't a problem for me because I start it up on my way out in the morning and come home to a clean house.
Support - I have not had any problems with the roomba yet, but most of the parts are easy to change (I mean really easy) and parts seem easy to get on Amazon or the iRobot website, so I don't anticipate having problems getting parts when needed. I really view this as a big plus because with a traditional vacuum when something breaks you have to get a new unit or take it to a costly repair shop.
Multi-room coverage - I had hoped I could leave in the morning and have the roomba vacuum the entire upstairs of my townhouse. This is not the case with this model. Unfortunately, the 530 does not distinguish between rooms so it cannot efficiently vacuum multiple rooms at once. If you get the 560 or any other model higher than the 530, they come with "lighthouses". These "lighthouses" tell the roomba where rooms are so that it doesn't leave a room until it's finished, then it goes to the next one, etc. This is a great feature (for me anyway) and I really wish I had received the 560, but I'm making do by just starting the roomba in a different room in the morning.
Rating - My New Best Friend
This product deliver's everything it says it does. It picks up everything and is so easy to empty the dirt.
Rating  - Love it, with one exception...
which is why I rated it 4 stars versus 5. I have been very pleased with the performance of the Roomba vacuuming robot. It has as much suction as my Oreck, as hard as that might be to believe. The only real complaint I have is that the brushes have to be cleaned frequently. I know the reason that is true in my house is that I have two cats; they were the main reason I wanted something like the Roomba to help keep the floors clean in between housecleanings. How I have dealt with this issue is buying a a brush set (a two set of each brush). I change out the brushes and the Roomba keeps going, and I can clean the brushes at leisure. I would definitely recommend it. I am considering buying one for my parents for Christmas this year.
Rating - EXCELLENT VACUM
WORKS REALLY WELL DEEP CLEANING ONLY DRAWBACK HAS HIGH MAINTANCE OTHER THEN THAT I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THE ROOMBA
Rating - More than another gadget.
I have a love/hate relationship with technology. An Amazon promotion made me curious and I read other reviews. I have to vacuum regularly because someone convinced me I needed to save a cat from the local animal rescue gas chamber. I was amazed at the efficiency of my iRobot. I love this technology and my cat hates it.
