Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of iRobot 500 Series Roomba Vacuum-Cleaning Robot with On-Board Scheduling

Customer Review: One year lifespan
Summary: 2 Stars

Having used ours for 2 years, I offer our experience. It works well on a task I do not care for. It picks up the surface debris but does not replace a good vacuum for deep cleaning. Do not run it more than it needs as it leaves marks eventually on the doors, and baseboards and furniture legs it runs into and also wears out more quickly. The battery is half the price to replace if you search online instead of iRobot corp. The edge cleaner brushes are seated in a plastic housing that the screw strips the threading out of easily, and has not worked since the warranty ran out. I see now they offer the side brush module as a replacement part. It is a chore to remove the loose threads and hair from the beater bar about weekly. It will try to get behind doors to close them and close itself into one room. It became stuck on the fringe of a carpet about 3 months ago, ran its battery out and has sat idly at its charging station for the past 3 months since I have not bothered to reprogram it. We do not have pet hair, leave our shoes in the entrance, and can live without it. I should put it up for sale, but I think I will replace the side brush module and give it one more chance. If it completely quit, I would not replace it.
