Somewhere in between
I purchased this as a gift to myself for Christmas. It's a bit of a mixed bag
The good:
- Does a pretty good job of cleaning
- Automated like it says (minus the point below)
- Easy low maintenance
The bad:
- Noisy
- Cliff sensor can't be disabled and it stops on black surfaces. I have a rug with black stripes on it and it will actually stop working on that spot and won't continue. This is a massive issue and can't be resolved (checked online)
- Battery or charging port failed within 10 days. Need to take back...

Helpful house keeper
I love this irobot! I bake a lot and I have a tiled kitchen floor. My irobot just does his thing and cleans up my mess when I'm done baking. He has saved my so much time and effort. The cats hate it but bonus for me as they stay out of the kitchen!!

3 years on from purchase after twice weekly use.
3 years on from purchase at Harvey Norman, this is my summary. It is still going and I would replace if it dies but 3 years is about its effective life so don't bother with extended warranties when you purchase. The "consumable" parts of the Roomba such as the wheels will wear out long before the Roomba engine and these replaceable parts are your responsibility. 3 years on, the battery is not charging as well as before, its loses its way and gets stuck a lot now and its extra noisy. Note the Roomba is normally quite noisy anyway. Its very e...Read more
xpensive to buy good replacement wheels from ebay so now I just use it as a hard floor cleaner and vacuum by hand the carpets. Soon it will die altogether and while I will get a replacement I will stick to the basic model and not purchase any extended warranties next time. I will not be upscaling to a more expensive model. A note to be careful that if you do purchase any extended warranty that you are actually getting a 3 year extended warranty and not a 2 year extended warranty on top of the 1 year that comes with the product. Its all in how they say it.1 comment

Loved it, but it died
I bought this vacuum in Aug 2015. I loved it. It really helped a lot whilst I was managing a newborn and a toddler.
Unfortunately it died in Jan 2017. I wish I could've found the extra cash for the extended warranty when I bought it. It still cost me over $100 to send it to Melb for them to tell me it couldn't be fixed. I'm really disappointed as I can't afford to replace it. I followed the instructions and cleaned it after every usage, so I felt pretty ripped off considering how much I paid for it.

Can't live without it
I'm an obsessive cleaner and this has made my life so much easier. I just turn it on when I leave the house and come home to clean floors. I only pull out the Dyson once every fortnight to do unde furniture. It's easy to clean and does a great job. When my kids eat crackers and leave crumbs I just turn it on under the table to spot clean and it picks it all up. I will buy another one for upstairs.

won't charge
i was happy with this product, as we have two small dogs that drop hair, and all wooden falls. The problem I have know is that it won't charge any more. this happened after one of our dogs left us a little parcel. I have emailed a company and said I have to send it too them and have to pay 75 dollars for them to look at it. I really miss it So now I have to pay for another one.

Instantly fallen in love with this little guy.
With Baby/toddler around it's pretty much everyday mess fight and Roomba has changed our view about vacuum-cleaning... from the hassle to the fun!
"he" is part of our family and cannot find one cons I can think about - maybe missing self-cleaning function and a bit bigger "belly" for all that "food" he is snacking on every day :-)
We have low maintenance carpet around the house and 630 option seem to be ideal for it.
Tiles in the kitchen are getting clean up well as well.

Best gift ever!
The kids clubbed together to buy me one of these for Christmas.
I hadn't really considered a robot vacuum before as we don't have big spaces in our home, there is lots of furniture and dog toys everywhere, but this does a great job. I bought two more virtual walls, as one of them can be used as a "halo" around the dog food and water bowls.
It is quite noisy, and as others have said, it would drive you crazy if you watched it work (although I spent a lot of time doing this at first!) but now that I trust it I love the fact that I can just ...Read more
press the button when I leave the house in the morning and it is all clean when I get home. We have a mixture of carpet and tiles and it does both really well, even the bath mats. I love the fact that I can mop the floors without having to lug the vacuum around first, it makes weekend cleaning much easier.1 comment

The best appliance ever made
This is my second one because I love them so much. Their life span is about 5 years if you use them daily as I did. I don't think I could do a better job with a hand held vacuum. I love it and it saves so much time. I have floor boards so it does a fantastic job on them.

Best Thing I've ever bought!
I just set it up and it cleans. We only do small areas at a time as due to cats and my own long hair it fills up really fast but it's worth it to not have to stand up and vacuum. It's not the easiest to clean, takes about 5 minutes to unravel all the hair every time but it's still worth every penny.

LOVE IT! If you love vacuuming this is not for you, BUT WHO LOVES VACUUMING LOL!
I have tiled floors and two dogs and I would not be without my Roomba. I turn it on before I go to work and the floors stay clean without having to pull out my huge manual vacuum cleaner. It's a little noisy but worth the sacrifice! I just set my virtual walls so it cleans specific areas and when it's flat it simply docks itself and recharges ready for its next use. My time is to precious for vacuuming, love my Roomba.

Best thing I ever bought.
We have a dog and cats and the hair on our floorboards are a permanent fixture, requiring daily cleaning. Our iRobot does this to perfection. I switch it on before I leave for work and when I come home all is done...couldn't be happier. Sometimes it gets stuck and we have to go looking for it, always a bit of a joke at home....there are some things 'he' likes to push around the house and has been known to tip over the cat kibbles and 'devour' the content or clean behind the door and promptly shut 'himself' into a bedr...Read more

I do not know how I lived without this product
This machine (Chappy) cleans my carpets when I am not home. He scoots around the lounge and kitchen and cleans up the dust and food scraps, under the cabinets and table, under the coffee table and entertainment cabinet. I am surprised how much dust he sucks up. You are able to buy all spare parts online and replace them yourself cheaply. I love this machine and do not ever want to be without it. If I had to say a bad thing, I hate his pattern, that he goes over the same area all the time. I am sure the newer versions would be better, but still very happy.

Absolutely fantastic!
My husband gifted me this at Christmas, obviously sick of me whinging about how much time is spent vacuuming the house only to every night being frustrated at the mess and asking "why do I bother?"! I have a Dyson, so I wasn't expecting a great deal from essentially what is a robotic sweeper - it uses brushes to sweep up not suction like a vacuum. I honestly thought it would probably be okay to use daily but that I would still have to use the Dyson every 2nd/3rd day. 28 days later and I haven't had to break out the Dyson - but mainly cause we...Read more
are still in holiday mode and so cleaning is not a priority yet. It is unbelievably good at cleaning my tiles, and as we live in a rental and the carpet is relatively thin, it does a really good job with that too (in fact the Dyson suction was probably too much for the carpet we have). Absolutely fantasic for cleaning under beds and sofas, saves having to move furniture to clean! We have four carpeted bedrooms, one carpeted and one tiled living area plus tiled kitchen, dining, entry way and hallway. I empty the bin after it does a carpeted area (3 bedrooms at one end of the house) so it has room for the rest of the house dust and dirt. The charge lasts the whole house clean. I clean the filter every day (bang out the dust). Every couple of days I clean the rollers - no pets here and we all have short hair so the rollers don't tend to get too clogged and I also gently rinse the mesh of the filter under running water and use the second filter until the first one dries. I have learnt to ensure the floors are clear of obstacles before starting it, and its very handy for ensuring the kids tidy up their toys (especially Lego) as the fear of losing it to the robot is great!!! We have one recliner chair which it has a tendency to get stuck under but have solved that problem by putting the chair in recline mode when roomba is started, and no more getting tuck. It is a little noisy on tiles, but I plan to set it to start whilst I do the school run so the noise won't bother anyone and I come back to a clean house! All in all I would highly recommend a roomba - i was pretty sceptical but am now converted, and have strongly hinted at my husband that I would love the roomba that mops for the next Christmas present!1 comment

Questions & Answers
Tony Buiasked
hi, I have IRobot Roomba 630. I've recently replaced the battery after that it only worked couples of time.
Then it suddenly said "charging error 1" when charging.
Can you please help me out with this issue, what does it means?
Regards
Tony
3 answers
Hi Tony, I would remove the battery and clean the internal contacts on the Robot as well as the battery terminals. Another potential issue could be the contacts on the charging unit and the robot, I would clean these also. Good luck
I already did them all but issue still
However when I borrow the battery from friend of mine, it’s working fine without issue.
I think there could be something wrong with my new battery. What do you reckon?
IXL H.iRobot
Hi Tony, charging error 1 indicates that your Roomba 630 is unable to detect the battery. This often occurs when using non-manufacturer approved replacement parts. Please visit our online store at https://www.irobot.com.au/ for purchase of official iRobot parts with guaranteed Roomba compatibility. If your product issue persists, please contact our customer service team on 1300 727 421 for further assistance.
Kind regards, iRobot

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?
