I purchased my i Robot Roomba 6 months ago and honestly, it's the best thing I've ever done. Was finding it difficult to push the existing vac due to an injured shoulder. The Roomba does all the work and my carpet has never been so clean. It also transitions to my tiled areas with no problems. Surprisingly, it seems to suck up much more inground dirt than my old Miele. Definitely not cheap to buy but worth every cent. I love it!

Runs over all the exposed areas of the floor. Completely cleans tiles. Fortunately for me it runs beneath the coffee table and also the TV Cabinet. If chairs are put up out of its path (on top of table?) it does my complete area. Even runs over the mat no problem. I'm so happy with it. Ran it for 90 minutes then it takes itself back to base for emptying and recharging as stated in specs.
Couldn't wish for more.

I received this Roomba for Christmas and use it often sometimes running it 2 x per day . But the reason I run it 2 x per day is because it misses so much of my house I originally thought that that was just how it was supposed to work but recently I was at a friends house and her unit did an amazing job . This unit does not map out the house and just goes over the same area over and over again.

This would be an excellent robot cleaner if it didn't keep dropping dirt every time the bin was removed. What do I mean by this? You can't simply leave Roomba where it is and remove the bin as it leaves a pile of debris on the floor. You actually need to pick up the robot and take the whole unit to the rubbish before you remove the bin. I believe the unit has a poor design with the bin as it doesn't capture everything cleanly and seems to make this mess quite often. I had an older model and it didn't have this issue. My guess is iRobot will eventually change the design of the bin but unfortunately it's too late for me.

We purchased the Roomba thinking that it would be good to have something cleaning up the dust from the wooden floors but after a month we are wondering how we coped without it. It keeps our floors clean, tells us when she is done and keeps things tidy. The app and connection to Google is great. We have even given her a name.

Moved into a new (bigger) house and wanted some robotic help to keep the house clean. Overall, happy with the 890. Had some issues with the initial setup, but that was resolve and was due to our setup of our wifi. Have not used the Virtual Wall barrier.
Happy to be able to check on the status of the 890 via the iRobot app & remotely tasked it to clean the house, which can also be scheduled daily. You can hear it when it's running, it's a vacuum after all. Make sure you empty it after each cleaning cycle - it picked up plenty of cat fur, which is what it's intended for. For $2 a day, I reckon it'll pay itself within a year.
Floor type: Hardwood/laminate

Definitely helps keep the dog hair under control. Worth getting extended warranty as it’s been back several times. After 5 years the side wheel is making a weird noise and it’ll be going back for another warranty fix. Has the suction of a dust buster but effectively picks up the dog hair and surface bits etc

This little vac is very handy, a tad noisy but useful.
You need to ensure it has a clear run with no little kids toys in the way or else it gets very stuck.
It’s great to schedule everyday to tidy the floors. We mainly use it on timber floors and it works well. Carpet is not a challenge for it.

The return to dock function is very useful.
