Best robot vacuum cleaner

published

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.

Thank you for your review of the Roomba 630. These are a great little device to help out round the home. Especially for new parents and people like myself that HATE Vacuuming.

Partially getting the job done but couldn't ask for more

published

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!

published

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.

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!

published

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

published

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

published

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!

published

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!

Its a broom rather than a vacuum

published

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

published

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.

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.

I must have been given a Lemon because there are so many positive reviews. Each to their own.

Best thing I've bought one less chore I gave to do.

published

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

published

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.

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.

Roomba 630

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. ;)
