The Roomba 610 Professional is simply superb. Roomba represents a very effective, fascinating and sophisticated technology. Our home has NEVER had floors so clean. It doesn’t get any better than this. I know Consumer Reports didn’t think much of the Roomba in their last report. But I don’t think they have tested the recent models with the new software and operational improvements. Once you get used to how she works and you start using her correctly, things run very smoothly.

What is good about it? Well, it cleans your floors so you don’t have to! You set the lighthouses, clean the brushes/axles, clear your rooms of small obstacles and press start. The thing is extremely thorough. However, it can’t clean stairs (obviously) and it can get behind doors. But, it does go under furniture (limited by clearances). It cleans edges, it cleans carpets, hard floors, tile/wood, oriental rugs etc. Generally, it does a great job.

What is bad about it? The maintenance seems to be at first until you realize “Hey, I am not vacuuming my floors. I am not bending, stooping, plugging/unplugging, pushing/pulling”. The maintenance only takes seconds and a seven year old could do it. Some have said that roomba is noisy. It approximates the sound of a bathroom exhaust fan. Thus, it is only a fraction as loud as a traditional vacuum cleaner.

There are several very important points when using roomba. First, you want to make sure the rooms to be cleaned are free of papers, small diameter cords (like laptop cords) , window blind cords hanging on the ground, blanket fringes etc. Second, you need to use the lighthouses appropriately so that roomba can clean one room before moving to another (or set them to have roomba stay out of areas you don’t want cleaned). Third, you must keep the brushes, axles, wheels free of hair/debris. This only takes a minute or two. Fourth, you want to run roomba every other day or at least twice per week. This way, she doesn’t get choked from a neglected floor.

If you have pets or you just like having a clean floor, I wouldn’t waste any more time. Buy one. You won’t be disappointed. If you are, take it back…it is guaranteed.

I got the professional series because I have a family of professional grade mess makers (kids, husband, pets, etc.). I love it! I think when people are dissatisfied with it they do not understand what it is and what it is not. It won’t clean up an already neglected floor. You start with clean floors and then push a button everyday and let it run around your house doing upkeep and you won’t have to vacuum anything except for behind items it can’t get to once a month or so.


Before my roomba I vacuumed 2 times a week and still dirt would show up on the bottom of peoples white socks. Since roomba no more dirt!!! It handles the cat fur and it even found an earring I lost over a year ago that must of been hiding someplace. The best part is it can get under things my vacuum never could reach. Yes, you have to know its limitations. It is a programmed device. You have to change something’s around your home to work with it. Get wires off the floor so it won’t get stuck, for instance. But this thing makes the floors shine and the rugs a joy to walk on. In fact I am purchasing another one for upstairs this week.
