iRobot Roomba Review Results: It's Official

Check an iRobot Roomba review online or in a magazine, and you'll quickly realize that you're seeing the end of old-fashioned vacuum cleaning products of every kind: floorvacs, uprights, you name it. Consumer reports on Roomba products, either official or by users, are nearly unanimous in their celebration of the features of every model of Roomba products, from the top-of-the-line, feature-heavy Discovery and Discovery SE to the more affordable Roomba Red. In the battle against dirt and dust, these vacuums hold the upper hand in nearly every type of floor, from carpet to hardwood. As for old-style vacuums, there's no comparison.

Floored by Roomba

Comparison reviews on Roomba products, especially those posted by the users themselves, don't blind themselves to Roomba's limitations. Its flattened disk shape sometimes misses corners, and it can't help you clean the stairs (yet; you can be sure iRobot's working in it). But it's a whiz on most carpets and hard-surface floors, it learns as it's cleaning, its specialty features keeping it from bumping into objects and falling downstairs, it can sense concentrations of dust -- and here's the best part: all you have to do is turn it on. Then it scoots off and starts cleaning, while you do other things. You only have to empty the dust collector and do occasional maintenance. You might expect its replacement products and accessories to be expensive, but they're less expensive than replacement parts for conventional vacuums.

Will the price floor me?

Nope. The standard Discovery model goes for about $279; the Roomba Red retails for less. Try to find any other robot for that price. It's tough on dirt, is loaded with handy features, frees up a little of your time, and is inexpensive to boot. What are you waiting for?
