iRobot 530 Roomba Robotic Vacuum Cleaner

I used to make fun of these vacuums, not anymore

I have previously owned 3 Roomba vacuum cleaners but this is my first iRobot 530. I think this is a great product in terms of convenience but won't replace your everyday full sized vacuum. However, the 530 will do a good job on a variety of floors if you program it to start cleaning every day or so. You will find yourself sweeping and vacuuming far less frequently which is a time saver indeed, especially if you have children or pets.

One thing that seems to dog these robotic vacuums is that they tend to break down more often. I have had this problem on one of my previous models but so far this one has held up, thought I've only had it for 6 months. When the other model broke down I called iRobot and they were very willing to ship a replacement part to me so I can say that at least they are willing to keep their customers happy. This is one reason I decided to buy their newer Roomba.

The bottom line is that the 530 vacuum cleaner is a good product for getting your tile, wood, and even carpets clean without you lifting a finger. They are fun to watch as they work their way around the many items in their way. You may even feel like it has become part of the family as it performs its' daily chores on schedule. Our cats have fun with it when it starts making its' way around the dining room. I think our family will always have a Roomba as it just cuts down on the time we have to vacuum and sweep our floors, and tends to keep the dust at bay on the other days.
