He’s a hard worker!!!
I love this as it makes me feel like I’m working! Surprisingly efficient. Sometime annoying as “he” zips past same piece of dust 20 times. I set him off and go do laundry. I like being around as I’ve a dog and he. An get stuck!! Love it. Use it one end if House and Dyson stick the other. Hardly take out big vacuum any more!

Very happy with the purchase, use it everyday
Save a lot of housework from vacumming, we use it almost everyday or every 2 days, and it can clean the floor very clean, it does not have too much noise, so can be used anytime you want. and clean up the dust tube also easy. highly recommended to everyone.

Genuine time saver - rarely have to vacuum manually
I was a bit skeptical about how effective a robotic vacuum cleaner would be at cleaning (surely it couldn't compare to the Dyson handstick we use) but have been pleasantly surprised. While the Dyson still - unsurprisingly - has better suction, the Roomba routinely gets to places that would require moving furniture around. I was actually quite shocked at how much dust the Roomba collected just by getting into these hard to reach spots. We use it 2 or 3 times a week which seems to be enough to keep the house tidy, meaning we now only really need ...Read more
to use the Dyson to get to skirting boards or any particularly dirty spots. Interestingly, while it does a great job, it doesn't seem to be very 'intelligent', moving around in no real obvious pattern. Nonetheless, it eventually covers the house before returning to base. Only tip would be to do a visual inspection before setting the Roomba off, checking for any cables or objects Roomba may get trapped on.

Awsome little helper
I love my iRobot Roomba companion. It has great suction on carpet, lino, and our wood floor. Sometimes struggles with larger bits of rubbish which should be picked up manually anyway. It does a great job of looking after our rooms, and we just forget that it is there it is so quiet. I would definitely recommend these to a friend who wants to maintain a tidy upkeep.

Great little beast
This works well on bare lino and seems to rarely get stuck anywhere.
I have a big area and it seems to cope well so far.
Not noisy. Picks up dirt ok but will probably struggle with full size bugs and humidity making everything sticky.
Instructions were deciphered by 80 year old so must be fairly user friendly.

Love it!
I think it’s the 630 model not 100%sure.
Anyway I love it! It was given to us from my brother in law. I put mine on everyday. We have a household of 5 including a toddler who’s in and out constantly so our white tiles get extremely messy! We also have a newborn so I don’t have time to vacuum daily so this is perfect. The read why I gave it 4 * was because the little brushes on the side have come off other than that it’s great!

Very disappointing
I discarded my old Roomba due to damaged wiring but thinking also it was time for a new one. This new Roomba is a total waste of $500 and I feel cheated. I wish I hadn’t thrown the old one out as even though it was several years old it did a much better clean than this new one which just now did not even go back to its dock. Even though there’s a clear path to the dock it told me to recharge it. I use it on tiles and carpet and it is only slightly better on the tiles. I have a black shedding dog and am near the beach so there’s plen...Read more
ty of sand and fur but just now on emptying it the bulk of the pick up was the top fluff off the new carpet. I’ve watched it consistently go over the top of dirt leaving it there. Sometimes it picks up a bit of dirt only to drop it further on. I’ve just wasted a good deal of money. I wish there could be a try before buy practice. it’s not right!!1 comment

I LOVE this thing
I work from home, but I work with dogs and I am outside for the majority of the day and I am very busy. I usually don't have the time or energy to do housework after work so the bare minimum gets done and the floors are definitely not part of that, the floors usually get left until the weekend. I have a four bedroom home with textured vinyl floorboards to the entry, living, dining, kitchen and hallway, tiles to the bathroom and carpet to bedrooms. It would take me approx 2 hours to vacuum and mop the whole house on a Satturday when I finally ha...Read more
ve some time to myself. I decided I was sick of spending my day off cleaning and spending so much time on the floors so I bought a Roomba 630 from Harvey Norman. It cost $497 during the sale they had on at the time. I must say I am absolutely stoked with the results. I had not vacuumed the floor with my Dyson for a week prior to purchasing the Roomba so it had a big job ahead of it, and it tackled it like a pro. It had to stop and recharge twice but during that time I took the bin and filter out and gave them a clean so it was fresh for the next run. It did the whole job with no issues and I am very happy. I finally had the motivation to vacuum with the Dyson last weekend (after Roomba had done 99% of the work for me!) and now I run Roomba every other day to maintain the floors for me. It does an excellent job on the hard floors and a spectacular job on the carpet (the vacuum lines are sooo satisfying) It does miss some small bits on the hard floors, but it IS a robot and can't be expected to vacuum like a human would. It generally runs for the whole two hours that the battery is supposed to last for, which is a good amount of time for it to get the whole house done and if it does miss something I just pick it up myself. The bin looks small but it holds a considerably large amount of dirt and dust. Every time I empty it (after each run or before I start it for a new run) I am surprised at the amount of dust and dirt it has collected even though the floors looked great before it started. I am very impressed with the capacity. Some people have complained that the unit is too loud, but I don't find it excessively loud. It's quite a lot quieter than my Dyson, and it is a vacuum after all so you can't expect it to be totally silent. If I run it at night while i'm in bed, I close the hallway door so it can't come down near the bedrooms and just let it take care of the living areas while we sleep and we can't hear it at all through the walls and doors.1 comment

Horrible performance and bad warranty service
Hardly used irobot decided to not work. Used it for few weeks for very light cleaning and it started to get jammed totally unusable. Went to good guys and contacted the distributor in Australia for this product. No help just took the robot in for service and saying it can take 4-6 weeks enjoy !. Now how do i clean my house - what a terrible product to go bad hardly any use and company offered no help. Totally unacceptable for a product this expensive this is not expected. DO NOT BUY

Excellent cleaning, manages most carpets, does corners: my best household assistant
Efficient and effective for dust on floors and carpets that are not too thick. Can handle the top of stairs (doesn't fall) and gets into corners. I do go over corners again with a cloth, but for regular cleaning this is my favourite household assistant. We don't have pets so haven't tried it with dog or cat fur. Brilliant to keep dust allergies at bay.

The greatest invention ever
This is the greatest thing ever. If you have pets, this is the answer to all your problems. Very easy to use and will save you so much time cleaning. Great product. Press the button before I go to work each day and come home to a clean house. It's the kind of thing that once you have one, you don't know how you lived without it.

We live in north Qld. so took it to our local Harvey Norman for repair after exhausting all possible fixes Evan online suggestions, they said it could be a battery problem and warranty had to go through Dubbo.

and they were rude pigs and offered nothing knowing the product was rubbish. I would like to warn all consumers not to purchase i robot products as you will be extremely disappointed,I recommend buying a cheaper one and you will be more than happy and not ripped off buy i robot, a foreign company with no loyalty here. I can't warn you enough and hope no one has this happen to you. If anyone wants a $750 door stop we have one here for you. Companies like this should not be able to trade in our great country.

Excellent robot vacuum!!
I have a one bedroom unit which makes this vacuum perfect as it can do it in one full charge. I haven’t had to manually vacuum since I got it 3 months ago. Reaches spaces I can’t easily (under bed and under tv unit). It is recommended to empty it a couple of times as it does pick up a lot and once full it will leave bits behind. Bit noisy but works so well that it doesn’t bother me! Highly recommended!

Very Good, a bit noisy
As the man in the house, its important to me that we have clean floors. We were sweeping usually twice per day because we have a dog that sheds and lots of small children. I was extremely skeptical about the robot vacuum cleaner, however it has now been 9 months since we got it and to be honest, we have only picked up the broom 3-4 times since we bought it. So I would call it a worthwhile purchase.
So far we have run it every day for at least 45 minutes. I have been throwing the little blue dust filters through the dishwasher rather than th...Read more
rowing them out. It hasn't required any other maintenance. I would be disappointed if it didn't last 3 years mind you, but I only thought I'd get 6 months! We have timber polished floors throughout. Negatives include... Noise - its too noisy, I have a friend with a cheap version he brought from China over the net, and its super quiet, and does the same job, so I'm not sure why Roomba haven't sorted this out. Scuffs the skirtings - Again, some other brands stop immediately before touching a surface, however Roomba lightly bumps the skirting before changing direction. After 9 months we're getting some marking and scuffs on the skirtings. If Roomba could sort out the noise and the scuffs mentioned above, I would gladly invest in the top model with memory and programming features.1 comment

Excellent for picking up Pet hair
Very happy with the 630 model, I have timber,carpet,and Vinyl floors the iRobot is great on all surfaces but struggles a little on a long shag pile mat .
Great for picking up dog hair, iRobot Roomba is more a sweeper so you cant replace your upright vacuum with this machine as it can only clean floors,
The 630 does not come with a remote control and I dont think it is necessary .

Excellent Entry Level Roomba 2017
This is the perfect entry level Roomba, it does dog and cat hair wonderfully it's also not too bad on shag pile rugs with getting the fur off them but does seem a little iffy on approach and sometimes avoids them but other times gets on them and away it goes.
Essentially you'll want a pretty straight forward area for it to clean, my house is open plan lounge, living, dining and kitchen which with it's size and the use of furniture to split up spaces can confuse this machine leaving one side of the room untouched.

Awesome addition to the family
I’ve had the iRobot Roomba for a few years now, and I still love it! We named him Frank, because he’s a little helper in the family. We have a largeish open plan house with hardwood floors. We have a big dog and two cats as well as 3 kids, so lots to clean up!
Frank does a great job if you let him do his work on his own. So I set him off before work and come home to nicely cleaned floors. Sometimes he gets lost, so doesn’t finish the job. And other times he gets stuck. But I think you can forgive all of that because the little guy is cleaning...Read more

HI Lorraine
Error 10 is advising there is an issue with wheels. Is you Roomba turning left or right when it spins?

How does this model work with an app, didn’t think that was an option.

Not sure with 630 as I bought the 670, with 670 it’s basically just to activate the clean button, pause and send home. Always help with notifications if there’s error or roomba needed help. If you get the higher range, I think you can navigate or set up cleaning area and schedules. Hope it helps. ;)
