I received my Pet Roomba before Christmas and have been using it since. My house is a real test with 3 very long haired dogs inside most of the day. I run the Roomba every day to keep the hair down to a minimum and we’ve noticed the floors are much cleaner (even though I used to vacuum alot).

However, if you buy this you should know that it requires frequent cleaning of the brushes, particularly the axle area where hair gets easily wrapped (pull off the end cap over the axle). By frequent I mean once or twice during the cleaning cycle. Otherwise, the brushes just stop moving leaving you with a cute robot that just drives around chasing the dogs! So this means you really should only run it when you are at home to keep it clean. I also have already cleaned the front wheel (just pops off – was really full of hair) and the side brush (unscrew the screw).


Bottom line, the unit works great so long as it is kept really clean. I’ve got the cleaning down to a minute so it isn’t too big of a deal. But if you think you are just going to run the Roomba and empty the dirt bin once in awhile, you should probably not buy it.

I have had my Roobma Pet for 6 weeks now and love it more all the time. We have 2 lab/husky mix dogs that shed a ton all year and this machine works wonders on my hardwood and tile floors. I will turn it on before we go up to bed and in the morning the floors are clean and it is back in its dock, seems like we have night elves who come in and clean while we are sleeping.


I like having 2 bins and usually use the larger one when I am cleaning an area where the dogs have been. In the bedrooms and office I like the smaller bin with the filter. The brushes need to be cleaned and carpet and hair balls picked off every other time I run it but this takes a fraction of the time that it usually takes for me to do the vacuuming myself. The brushes are very easy to clean and a small amount of dust remains on the floor after doing this- easy for it to pick up on the next run through.

I would recommend this product to pet owners and people with small children- quiet enough not to wake them and you can leave it in a room and close the door and not worry about it while watching your child. I am thinking about getting a second Roomba for our upstairs- then I can run both at the same time and not have to wait for it to charge up.
