Product Description
The Roomba iRobot 410 Vacuum Cleaning Robot is not only easy-to-use, but it also includes an array of intelligent convenience features. Simply press the Clean button and the vacuum's artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts automatically from wood, tile, linoleum and low-to-medium pile carpet. Integrated sensors detect dirt and increases intensity of cleaning in that area. A three-stage cleaning system and a wide cleaning path uses counter-rotating brushes that scoop large debris into the dustbin and a vacuum to pick up fine particles, dirt and pet hair. Its edge-cleaning spinning side brush, combined with wall-following technology, removes dirt and debris from the base of walls, from corners, and other hard-to-reach places. The vacuum's stasis sensor detects when it's stuck and employs pre-programmed escape routines to free itself. Automatic Surface Transitioning - The entire cleaning head adjusts automatically for both carpet and hard floor surfaces Automatic Stair Avoidance System - Leave Roomba by itself without worrying about it falling down your stairs Bagless debris bin Wall following (improved!) - Teamed with the side brush, clean right up to the walls Air Filter - Prevents dust and dirt from entering Roomba's vacuum system or your air Advanced Power System - Microprocessor-controlled charging system that provides up to 120 minutes of cleaning power 7-Hour Charger - Charge Roomba's batteries in seven hours Active Dirt Response - Detects dirtier areas and automatically increases the intensity of Roomba's cleaning Stasis Sensor - Roomba immediately detects when it.s stuck and initiates its careful escape routine Cleaning Intelligence - Roomba automatically calculates how long it needs to work to clean your room Box Includes - Rechargeable APS battery, 7-hour charger, 1 Virtual Wall, and 3 air filters

 Needs frequent help June 29, 2009
jk121220
When I bought the product I thought it would run a mission while I wasn't at home and I would seldom see it operate. Wrong!
It needs help on every mission. Sometimes it needs help five or six or seven times on one mission.
It gets stuck on the dining table legs (round bars along the floor). It gets part way on top of a leg, then can't reverse and get off of it. If I'm lucky that happens once. If I'm not, I get it off the leg, it moves about two feet then returns to more-or-less the same spot and gets stuck again. Sometimes it will get stuck on the dining table as many as five times in one mission.
It gets stuck on the entertainment center stand (a flat bottom less than an inch thick).
It gets stuck between a bed leg and the wall.
Its path is unpredictable. On one mission it will go into the kitchen. The next time it won't. (Nothing is blocking its path, it just never goes in the right direction.) One time it will go through a bedroom door, the next time it will pass in front of the open door repeatedly, but never choose to enter.
The bottom line is it doesn't save much time. Between getting it unstuck and cleaning it, it would be just as easy to vacuum the house myself.
 A very successful gift June 27, 2009

I recently gave this to my sister for her birthday. As her signature decor is red I bought a red Robot. She loved it and bragged about her gift to all her friends.
So useful! June 25, 2009

I'm so happy with my Roomba purchase. We just moved into a new house and put wood floors down, but we have 1 big dog and 2 messy cats, so hair, litter, and general debris becomes a problem fast. I just run this baby around every day or so, and our house stays clean.
We have carpet upstairs, and I haven't really tried to use it up there. The one time we did, it worked well, even on a frieze carpet. However, we have a thick wool rug on top of it in one of the rooms, and it treated the rug like a wall-it never got on top of it. Even if I wanted to try it on the carpet upstairs, the battery would run out too early after finishing downstairs anyway. We'd have to wait an hour or two to recharge it, or just buy a second unit for upstairs. But it cleans our entire hard surface downstairs without a problem.
It's certainly not the most efficient appliance-if I took a broom or Swiffer to the same area, I'd be done so much faster than the Roomba. But I don't have to! While the Roomba's working, I can be vacuuming upstairs, dusting, etc. You just have to make sure that you clean the tray regularly-it tends to miss picking things up when it gets too full. Our animals don't like it, but they don't freak out-they just know to stay away!
I bought the Roomba to tackle the mountain of hair and debris that gets generated on our hard floors, and it's done a spectacular job helping me keep up with it. I am so satisfied and happy with it. I am thinking about buying the Scooba as well!

Bought the Roomba 410 for my dad who is 86 for Father's Day. I also have a Roomba, but different model and I would take it to Dad's when I would clean his house. My mother passed away 10 years ago. He fell in love with it. He would follow it all over the house to watch what it would do. He named it "George" and is so entertained by it. Dad is very active but had his hips replaced, so this is so helpful and as he says the most fun toy he has had for a long time. Beverly

I owned a Roomba purchased in about 2004 for me by my girlfriend. At first I thought it was pretty slick, but after a while, I decided that to clean a rug, you need a Kirby and that is it. You canrun a roomba over your rug forever, and it only cleans the surface, not down deep where the ugly stuff is.
So it was great for one thing only. Cleaning the hardwood floor under the bed. So this was ok. I had it for 9 monthd when it would stop and do dumb stuff. I called and the service department (who is really busy), and they said it was the stair detector and would send new software. That got it running.
After about a year, it would not go to home base and charge, so I realized the home base was broke, and threw it in the trash. After another year it would not charge from the body of the unit as a direct plug in. So I troubleshot it, and had enough.
I sent it back to massachusetts to the VP in charge of consumer affairs, and never received a reply. Basically told him to use it as a book end. When I went to the ups store, the fellow at the counter said "boy we send ALOT of these back for service.
Conclusion...Buy a Kirby, Oreck, waste your money on a Disson (sp), but realize one thing...this and most other stuff made in CHINA was junk when made, and is a basic waste of money. The longevity is never there!
Buy a real tool like a swiffer, and it does a great job on the hardwood.
I would not take one of these for free!
