iRobot Roomba 440 cleans routinely…so you do not have to. iRobot Roomba’s powerful vacuum and counter-rotating brushes reach deep into your carpet to remove dust, dirt and pet hair. This entry-level robotic floorvac is easy to use and includes an array of convenient features. Simply press the “clean” button and the unit will vacuum the whole floor, adjusting automatically to any floor surface including wood, tile linoleum, and low-to-medium pile carpet. The Roomba is small enough to even go under the furniture that no upright can do. The vacuum’s artificial intelligence determines the room size and adjusts the run time to ensure that it cleans the entire floor. Integrated sensors detect dirt and will increase the focus and intensity of cleaning in that area, while infra-red cliff sensors in the non-marring bumper detect stairs to keep the unit from falling. Model 440 also includes virtual walls that tell Roomba where to clean by restricting off-limit areas. Just remember a Roomba c

Happy.,
I just sent my roomba 440 off on its first assignment, clean my 750 sq ft apt! I am surprised at well this little robot is cleaning the floor, its no deep clean mind you but its picking up a ton of stuff! I have already emptied the bin twice. On the down side the roomba has gotten stuck about 6 times now, so i would recommend that you watch it carefully the first time you use it, plus it will let you know with a chime when its stuck and gives up on freeing itself. The run time is about 1 hr, which is enough time for this roomba to go over my entire apartment twice, at the moment its headed back into my bedroom for the 4th time. Just died! Ran from 8:10am to 9:21am. I can’t wait to give it another charge and set it free before i head out for work in the morning, after i fix its little favorite places to get stuck.
Pros:
-Obviously cleans so you don’t have to.
-Highly entertaining!
-Picks up lots of stuff from the carpet/tile/vinyl
-**Cleans under places i haven’t seen since i moved in.
-Cheap at $200 considering what this thing actually does.
Cons
-Doesn’t self dock for recharging like other robots.
-Doesn’t perform well in high traffic areas.
-NiCd battery may provide the power this thing needs but come on! its 2010, this thing should have lithium batteries. NiCd wears out fast, its heavy, they are a battery that has a great memory(BAD thing!, remember to always store roomba with no charge and never half charge the battery).
All in all im happy with its performance, but you should never expect miracles.
*******EDIT*******
I was so happy with the performance of my Roomba i cleaned it and took it back to target where i was given a full refund (love target!). I went to frys electronics to get the newer nicer model (Roomba 560, $350) and was ecstatic to find that they had it on sale for $269, that made my night. On sale through 7/15/10. I only upgraded because the battery lasts longer (4 rooms), it docks itself for recharging, and of course scheduling. I was filled with geek pride when i was at work today, looked at the clock and realized that at that exact moment there was a robot at my apartment vacuuming the floors for me, i expected to come home and it would be stuck somewhere but, well, not exactly… it had gone into the bathroom and accidentally closed the door on itself, on the upside the floors in my bathroom are spotless.

|I’d buy it again.,
I wanted to give it a 4 1/2 but the site wouldn’t let me. This is such a great vacuum because it is so maneuverable and can get under and around places so easily, even hard to reach areas. It has a setting for floors so that the brush doesn’t rotate. It is powerful and does a thorough job. I do my whole 1200 square foot house with it, but since the filter is small, I empty it when I’m done. It has some drawbacks.
1. One of the cord windup hooks broke so now the cord is difficult to wind. I just wrap it around the vacuum.
2. The cord could be just a couple feet longer.
3. You have to position it just right if you want to stand it upright. Sometimes it’s fallen over (No big deal though).

|Hooverific!,
I purchased this little sweeper to do quick clean ups of cat litter on my kitchen floor. I couldn’t be more happy with the look, feel, and ease of use. It is compact. It stands straight up and fits snugly between my wall and the refrigerator. It picks up the cat litter and not one little piece gets missed or blown back, like others I’ve tried. The head swivels to get around easily and the suction is enough to even get the little bits out of the corners.
It lays down quite flat to go under my bookcase, table, chairs, etc..
With the touch of a switch on top of the machine, I can I can go over my kitchen area rugs and, again, no kick back of litter off the rug. it has a roller brush and does a better job on cat fur than my big vacuum!
Dumping the dirt cup is messy, but I wouldn’t trade it for buying bags and hassling with that.
It is not the quietest thing in the world, but I don’t care about that. It works great and I am sooo happy with my “always clean” kitchen floors and my new Hoover Flair :)!!
