Product Description
The iRobot Roomba 532 Pet Series Vacuum Cleaning Robot make caring for a home with pets easier. The Pet Series robots come equipped with an extra set of easy to clean brushes, two interchangeable debris bins for trapping even more pet hair, kitty litter or dander and cleaning tools that ensure both sets of brushes remain free of debris for optimal performance. The high capacity sweeper bin holds three- and -a-half times more debris than the vacuum bin. Counter-rotating brushes reach deep into carpets to pull out pet hair, dander and more. Cleaning up to three standard-sized rooms on a single charge, it comes standard with two Virtual Walls that use infrared beams that creates and adjustable, invisible barrier that blocks Roomba from entering off-limit areas. When the cleaning is done, or the battery is running low, Roomba automatically locates and returns to its Home Base to dock and recharge. Roomba efficiently vacuums dirt, debris, pet hair, pet dander, dust, allergens and more from carpets and hard floors. Extra replacement filters ensure Roomba traps dust, pollen, pet dander and tiny particulate inside the bin. The Roomba 532 also includes iRobot's latest technological innovations, such as a light-touch bumper, stair sensing ability, advanced anti-tangle technology and the ability to transition from carpets to hard flooring with ease. Most pets are initially curious about Roomba but will quickly learn to ignore it-or even play with it. Special safety features help your pet safe: Stair-avoiding system, bump sensors and automatic shut-off so noses and paws won't be harmed if a curious pet flips Roomba over. You should run Roomba while you are at home for the first few cleaning cycles so your pet can get used to it. After that, you can let Roomba clean whether you're at home or on the go.

 Doesn't work as expected March 1, 2010
Eric A. Pulver (ohio)
We have 5 small dogs inside (2 of which do not shed). My husband is disabled and I work full time so thought this would enable him to help me a bit more and also help keep up on the dog hair/dust. We have all hardwood floors so figured this would work great for us. However, just the opposite. THe Roomba did not pick up much at all! I even tried charging it longer thinking it didn't have a full charge. Even with 24hours of charging still the same result. I was so disappointed and the Roomba is on it's way back. I purchased this item through Amazon.com and ended up actually purchasing from [...]. I failed to read the fine print about returns. They will only exchange the item for other merchandise so be careful of that.
iRobot Roomba as a Gift February 11, 2010

We gave this product as a gift to our son and his girlfriend at Christmas, so this isn't a firsthand review. But they have thanked us repeatedly for the gift as it has done everything it's supposed to do.
They have a dog (this is the "pet" version) and it has made a world of difference, or so they say.
Their's is not the programmable version, something they feel would be nice. Just the same, the Roomba has performed up to their expectations and as a bonus, is fun to watch.

Our apartment is all hardwood floors with some area rugs scattered around, and Roomba cleans all of it amazingly. Before we got the Roomba, we would vacuum about once a week or so, and sweep every couple of days, but it wasn't enough to keep up with my boyfriend's allergies. Roomba has been a lifesaver there. We run it in a different room every day, so each room gets cleaned 1 or 2 times a week, and the floors look and feel so much better.
It's a little loud, and our downstairs neighbor works third shift, so we usually only run it when we get home in the evening, and during the day on weekends. Generally we have it clean one room a day, and sometimes empty the bin and re-run a room just to make sure it got any dust it kicked up the first time around.
A note for people with dust allergies: the first few times we ran it, it kicked up quite a bit of dust that the broom had been missing (I'm guessing in small cracks in the floor). So, the first few times we ran it, I would close the door to the room, wait for it's happy little "I'm finished" song, then go in to clean and re-start it. After a few days, it stopped finding so much dust (but you should have seen the vacuum filter at first - gross!) and now boyfriend can run it anywhere in the apt without getting stuffed up.
The reason this only gets 4 stars: Occasionally it will refuse to run, and the "Clean" button will turn orange/yellow, and flash rapidly while trying to charge. When this happens, I take the battery out and make sure all the connections are clean. If that doesn't work, every now and then we have to plug the cord directly into the Roomba and just leave it alone for 2 or 3 days. (This was recommended on a Roomba forum.) Then it will run normally again. This has only happened 2 or 3 times in the year we've had it, so it's not a huge deal, considering how much it runs.
Overall, it's a great purchase, and I'm still glad we got it every time I look at the heavy, loud, dirty vacuum that's been sitting untouched in the closet. If our 532 ever breaks permanently, we'll probably get a model with programmable cleaning cycles, but will definitely stick with Roomba.

My husband did quite a bit of research before we actually purchased this model; we chose the pet series because we own a large dog and hair is a constant issue. It became apparent that the Roomba can't compare to a heavy duty upright - but it does help us immensely because we are able to run it every day (or more if necessary) and we do a much better job at keeping things picked up so it can do its job more efficiently.
