iRobot Roomba 4210 Discovery Vacuuming Robot, White |
Rating: 2 (out of 5)
Summary: Junk
Comments: Works ok on wood floors or thin carpet, when it works at all. Had to do a software upgrade, however even after that it fails regularly. The Problem? It only works if kept meticulously clean!! Rather than spending time vacuuming the floor, I spend time cleaning the vacuum cleaner. Now, in spite of blasting it out with air from an air compressor (you do have1do not you?), it runs for 5 minutes the circles helplessly. I suppose if I could figure out how to take it apart, I could clean it yet again, however it's going in the trash this time. Yet another worthless piece of junk from an American Manufacturer (meaning made-in-china). |

Summary: I love this little guy
Comments: When I purchased it a year ago it was $350, however I do not feel like I want that extra money back since the price dropped. I'd pay that same price today. This thing is that great.
It's cute too. From the moment you turn it on for duty, it backs out of its base with that *beep beep* sound forklifts make - and it's off to the races...
It appears like its cruising haphazardly about the floor, however eventually it covers e inch of space while bumping its way around furniture and walls and dutifully navigating from room to room.
It's not perfect. It'll miss a few spots, however not terribly so. It's an efficient machine. Make sure you clean the brushes regularly and empty the tray about once a month and you are golden. My robot's battery can normally go for an hour and a half before it heads back to its base to rest. It's like having a pet that actually pulls its weight around here...
No kidding, I love this machine. If it was perfect, it would get 5 stars. You have to make sure there are no power wires or "indigestable" trinkets lying around or else it will choke and scream for help. however it's great enough. I often just cut it on and go to work. When I come back, the floors are clean. Aces!! |

Summary: Not suitable for new carpets
Comments: We just moved into a brand new home w/brand new carpeting and tried to use this. The new carpet sheds a lot and cloggs up the roomba. It's great on non carpeted surfaces especially in the kitchen to pick up the big dust bunnies and dirt. It is a bit difficult to clean the brushes. Also, the battery seems to be lasting less and less. |

Summary: Supplier sucks
Comments: Unit arrived in a condition that makes me believe it was never refurbished. Totally dirty, would not work even after charging. I spent an additional $100 to purchase a new battery and brushes. Will never purchase from this seller again. |

Summary: I threw it away
Comments: Roomba worked for 6 months and I tried to get a response from the website without luck. When I finally got someone to respond they said that the software was bad and I had to purchase a new1and they would give me a discount. Warranty sucks. Customer service treats you like an idiot. purchase an upright vacuum sweeper.$200 down the drain. They have no facility to fix ones that do not work. You have to throw it out and purchase another. |
