Amazing little robot!
Pros:
Ease of use right out of box. Perfect for anyone who needs a cleaning timesaver!
Cons:
The motor is just a little loud, but other than that, nothing!
The Bottom Line:
Once you get it, you will love it. Be prepared to maintain it because it may vacuum by itself, but it won't clean itself.

Author's Review
I love this machine! It cleans the daily dust throughout my kitchen, living room, family room and dining room. I bought this product because a friend of mine loved hers so much that I just had to have it too. I don't have a dog right now so I can't speak for pet hair, but as far as dust bunnies and other fuzzies, YEAH! It gets under tables and even my living room chairs, under the toe kick in the kitchen. Love it love it love it! All of my floors are hardwood, with a couple area rugs, it maneuvers from hard surface to rug very well. Only gripe is if the wheels are tracking some dustbunnies that didn't get scooped up, it tends to leave a pile at the edge of the rug where it changed from wood floor to rug. Some of the time it will pass back over and pick it up, sometimes it won't. I have just to leave it at, duh, it isn't human and the little deposit is far easier to pick up than 4 rooms worth of dust!
It is just so simple to use, and it even finds the charger station on it's own to recharge.
I have 2 small kids and they love it, so much that my one year old chases it and accidentally burned out the side brush motor by grabbing it to much. I had to get a new motor and it is back to new. Other than that I just have to empty out the dust pan once daily to ensure that it keeps working well. I did have a couple hairs trapped around the little wheels and brushes, I clean these once a week. It really isn't too difficult to take apart to make sure all the moving parts are free of debris. The time that it saves on lugging out the full size vacuum is great too. I wouldn't vacuum daily with an upright, but with Roomba, she does it for me. My older son even named it, Berta. After a live-in maid my in-laws have out of the country. If the Scooba wasn't so pricey, I'd scoop one of those up too. When Irobot makes one that separates, washes, dries and folds clothes, I'll get that one too.(haha) This is a mom's Godsend!
Anyway, there is really only one thing I dislike, and it is a bit noisey, I'd like to run the automatic timer to clean the floors while everyone is sleeping, but I'd be afraid it would wake us all up.
I recommend this product to everyone, especially bachelors who don't know how to push an upright.(haha) It is great for a family.
