Still Happy and Content,
We’ve had our Roomba since January 2010 and approx. 6 months later, I still love it and am really glad we made the purchase. It took a little convincing for me to get my husband to agree with the purchase, but now he calls it “his vacuum”, and likes to show it off to our friends and family when they come over. For us, it really has reduced my weekly in-house workload. With two cats in the house, birds, bunny, and a dog, pet hair gets tracked throughout the house. With two young children, our kitchen (hardwood floors) gets nibblets of food all over the floor. Setting the vacuum up to focus on one room (by using the virtual walls) makes a big difference. Frequently ours is venturing throughout the entire house.
The only problem we occasionally have is when it gets stuck under our china cabinet, or stuck while trying to suck up a toy that was left behind, or shoelaces hanging off a shoe left out. All very minor issues. I will say, it’s a bit odd, when in the middle of the night (like last night), I get woken up by it coming into our bedroom. My guess is it gets turned on by the cats while they’re running around playing at night. I hope that’s all it is. ;)
I will say that I do still run my other vacuum cleaner (an old Rainbow) about once a month. We have a particular rug in our living room that the pet hair gets ground in after a while and it’s hard to get it up with the Roomba, but in general, the carpets look like we regularly vacuum, and you can see all it picks up when you clean it out. Note that you do have to clean it out regularly, and by that I mean, every time it’s done with a cleaning. This might seem a pain to some, but it really only takes about 5 minutes to do it. It’s worth it to me if it means I can program it to come on whenever I want and come home to cleaned carpets. On another positive note, it has made my kids and husband do a lot better with tidying up better.

|Note that bins are interchangeable, not used concurrently,
I’ve had quite a few Roomba cleaning robots, and was interested in the 562 because it’s advertised as being new and different for homes with pets. Experienced “Roomba” users should note (as I failed to) that the new bin advertised for the pet model is simply a different bin that’s used place of the normal one (as opposed to a secondary bin that’s used concurrently, as I’d incorrectly assumed). The sweeper bin can be used in place of the normal bin, and seems to disables the vacuum functionality, making the Roomba a sweeping robot.
The Achilles Heel of this robot (as with all Roomba floor-cleaning robots) is the constant need to clean the machine’s brushes. We’re not talking once every few days here–we’re talking 1-2 times per cleaning cycle. You don’t set the Roomba to clean while you’re at work and expect it to be done when you get home. You learn to expect to find it in the middle of the floor, requiring a brush cleaning before it can continue. And ultimately–after a year or two–you expect it to require factory repair or replacement.
Note that I give this model 4 stars despite what seems like a fairly middling review. That’s because it works pretty well, but is hardly maintenance free. Note that we have two Labrador Retrievers. I’d expect that people without pets would have an easier time with the Roomba, and that people with longer-haired pets would fine it even more challenging to keep the brushes clean.
