Best robot vacuum cleaner
As a mum, vacuum floor is not a enjoyable work for me. Since I purchased this vacuum cleaner, my life is much easier that I could just turn on the button and let the machine complete flooring for me while I look after my baby. The machine can pick up small dust which is not visible clearly and keep floors clean all the time. I highly recommend this machine for any busy mums.

Partially getting the job done but couldn't ask for more
I bought this iRobot Roomba 630 from Harvey Norman for $504 including product care in June 2017, mainly because I thought I wouldn't have time to vacuum the house. it does get to a certain area of the house but it's limitation is definitely all the corners, under the dining table and carpet. Reasonable capacity and I wish there was a timer feature for this model, can't ask for more for this model. It can be quite noisy as well but that's how a vacuum like I guess.

Love it!
My partner purchased this for me before I had our son (via cesarean) I've found it to be quite efficient and does a very good job of vacuuming. It can be a little bit loud but I'll usually turn it on before I leave the house.
We have hard floors so I don't know that this would work so well on carpet. The suction is surprisingly good as long as you empty it prior to turning it on or straight after.
The Roomba isn't too bulky but I think it would work best in a minimalist house. I find it quite annoying when it bumps in to furniture so I often keep it only to our loungeroom.

A good investment.
The Roomba works well. You can move the plug-in dock to another area of the house so that it automatically goes back there when getting low on battery. I have been doing the house in 3 main sections - not all in one 'clean'. The robot senses the stairs or change in levels and does not fall down them. It works best on hard floors - on carpet it works like a carpet sweeper, so as pointed out by another reviewer - vacuuming from time to time is still required. It is able to navigate over and across rugs.
We have a lot of obstacles so I pull the ...Read more

cant live with out it.
Great product does a nice job. Favorite feature is that it can go under the beds and it picks up the dirt that my other Vacuum cant get to. It picks up alot of dirt and it leaves nice Vacume marks on the carpet like a professional cleaner. It is worth the price you pay for this little Vacuum.

Works great!
I've had it for almost 2 months now that I'm over the hype of it, I can say I'm happy with it overall. It does what it claims - nothing less and nothing more. It is quite loud but that doesn't bother me. I've read complaints about how it doesn't clean large areas but have not found it to be a problem in my open dining-living-kitchen space. It's cleaned our tiles, floorboards and carpet perfectly floors perfectly. Make sure to empty out the dust bin after each use.

Love this vacuum
I love this vacuum, it's great for everyday maintenance work and i have a 4 month old baby, i don't have the time to get out the old Vax and vacuum the house myself. I wouldn't be able to clean up big messes but i have 2 shih tzus who bring dirt inside all the time and the roomba cleans up after them well. It doesn't have all the newer features of the more expensive models but that doesn't bother me, it cleans and that's all i need. My house is mainly tiles which it works well on, it tells to get abit stuck on the rug and works alot harder in the bedrooms (they are carpet) but i'm happy with it's performance.

I can't live without this
I checked out this model extensively before buying this model. It was the older model and had been superseded but it had a higher suck rate than more expensive models! I have never looked back. I use it everyday and even though it can't bE put on remotely, it is no problem putting it on. before going out! It is definitely suitable for carpets and works well on hard floors as well! I bought the extended warranty so I can have it for as long as possible. You will have to occasionally get out the old vacuum for corners though!

Could not love it more!
As an owner of three cats, I wish we had bought this years ago! It is a life saver! We run it about twice a week (three times in summer), and the house has never looked cleaner. It gets under all the furniture and in corners really well and is great at picking up pet hair. It takes about 45 mins to 1 hour to do the whole house, making multiple passes over each area. Expensive, but worth it. Wish we had never bought a Dyson and just got little Roomba!

Great when it works, but has some quirks
I was sceptical about the efficiency of a robot vacuum vs just vacuuming like normal, as it takes a long time to cover a floorspace a human could do relatively quickly with a hand-held. However, eventually I realised that I have saved many hours of my own time by letting the robot do it at its own pace.
This entry level Roomba is simple to use and hassle free, but after 9 months it has started doing unusual things like occasionally turning on or off for no reason, and sometimes not playing its little tune when it docks. I'm worried it is a sig...Read more

Its a broom rather than a vacuum
Last Christmas time, we bought a Robot Roomba from Myer, Queen street Mall, Brisbane. It is very noise and also can only pick up small quantity of dust. Unless the room is very dirty, it won't help much. The room with its cleaning doesn't show much cleaning sense. So we feel it is just a toy broom rather than a vacuum.

Good product although it fills up very quickly. The performance is good and the suction is fine. It's definitely quiet and works well on its own . We have floor boards and carpet so it seems to work fine on both of these. I would recommend this product on small areas

OK on tiles excellent on carpet
Purchased at local whitegoods and home appliance store at an end of financial year sale at a reduced price. Since then I have found it cleans well on our living area tiled flooring, but is specially good on carpeted rooms such as bedrooms. I usually run the machine in our bedrooms once per week, and every time it fills the collection bin with loose carpet fibres and other debris in each bedroom.

Where's the Roomba?!!
My husband was happy I gave him a son first, so he bent to every wish I had after the birth of his first son.
Christmas 2014 he bought me a Roomba, in our family we call it a robovac and my son/toddler has a love hate relationship with it.
Scared of it when little (yes still going into 2017 with only one service), wants to turn it on when he was bit more older. Now takes it to the room he wants it to clean and help it get on the charger since the Roomba getting a bit old. He is obsessed with it now, as most of my lids are now robovacs and sle...Read more

It has the worst suction I have ever seen!!! I would never buy this again! The factory were shocking to deal with, so have the place of purchase. I will not buy a Roomba again.

Best thing I've bought one less chore I gave to do.
Mostly happy. Suction is ok but misses several spots. It is quite heavy to pick up. It will do my whole house which is a 28 square home. Does all floor types. I don't regret getting it as it is very convenient, I can go out for the day and now my floor will be done and it docks itself when it needs charging. It can sometimes get stuck under tv units or side boards. I love it and would highly recommend it.

Not bad
It is very convenient for a person who is not very willing to do housework, and it is good for people to sit and wait for it to clean up the ground. That is good. However, it can not be completely clean and clean some corners. May be a conventional vacuum cleaner.

Will change your life
I no longer own an old fashioned vacuum cleaner. Your Roomba does a great job, it isn't perfect and has some faults, like it can't get right in to the corners everywhere. Because of this every few months I do the corners with a portable vac. Rhoomba will leave slight marks on the doors, especially in tight enclosed areas like a toilet. This can happen if you forget, put it in there and leave it on for a long time, as it sometimes doesn't turn itself off soon enough.
The battery life lasts longer on floorboards than carpet.

Not Bad but a bit expensive
It does a good job of cleaning, but I think there are other robot vac out there that does the job at a cheaper price. I'm using it for wooden an carpet floor and also have a dog that sheds quite a lot. It does have an advantage of being small and automatic.

My Roomba 630 keeps saying move to a new location and press the clean button. I moved it and press the clean button but it just keeps on repeating the message. I’ve tried holding the two buttons for 10sec to reset but it keeps going back to the message. It was working fine before and when the message came up I moved it and pressed clean and it went. I don’t know what’s changed. Can you help me?

Hi, I have just replaced the side wheel modules on my 630. Now Roomba only goes in circles and after 2 minutes stops with error 10. Is it possible the new wheels are incorrectly installed?

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. ;)
