Very good at recognizing edges, jumping door sills, and navigating complex layouts. Sort of by definition, it can't really clean corners to the edges, nor does it deep-clean. Very good for keeping the cat hair under control if used a couple of times a week, allowing "real" vacuuming or mopping to be done less frequently. Has coped surprisingly well with spider webs, sawdust, plaster crumbles. Can't suck up full-size rubber bands, flat items like mini post-its, but it does whirl them out onto clean floor, where they are easy to pick up. Maybe they'll make a version with an optional top whirly-bit, to clean a bit higher up baseboards and the underside/overhang of kitchen cabinets. Best feature is that, for heavy cleaning, it keeps you company while you shift boxes and furniture out of the way, and if you knock dust onto the floor, you know it'll come and get it. Not as efficient as working with a friend, but because it's a robot, you don't blame it for inefficiencies.Read full review
This vacuum was surprisingly effective in what it is meant to do, and I would rate this as a very useful daily vacuum, but one that does not completely replace the need for a standard human-controlled unit for periodic deeper cleaning and for cleaning areas where this unit cannot get to. Let me first discuss the many positive features and then why I think that you will still need a conventional unit. Positive features - · The setup was very easy and intuitive. · The unit ran for a little more than an hour and then docked itself for recharging. · In this hour it filled the dirt tray. While we no longer have a dog, I can see how this unit would be very useful for daily light vacuuming of pet hair. · The path that the vacuum took was quite different from what a human would have used, but it did seem to cover all areas that it could get to (more about this later). I was also very surprised that the software allowed the unit to get out of almost all of the tight spaces that it found itself in. It was quite fascinating to see the unit move back and forth, slowly reorienting itself until it was free. · The bumpers were sensitive enough that they did not topple some light ceramic floor pieces, nor did it damage any furniture. · The unit is very quiet for a vacuum. While it was quite audible, I could watch TV or listen to a conversation while it was running. · When the unit gets in trouble, such as needing to be repositioned, it tells you what to do in one of several languages (selectable by the user). · The cleaning instructions are clear as are the instructions for how to replace parts, such as the batteries, although you have to go to a website for prices. · The unit comes with one sensor that blocks the vacuum from wandering into rooms that I did not want it to clean. The simple solution was to close the doors of some rooms and use the sensor for a large open space that I wanted blocked. Additional sensors are required for additional open spaces and can be ordered from the website. Why I feel that you still need to do some periodic conventional vacuuming - · While the dirt tray was filled after about an hour, the tray is not as large as that of a conventional vacuum. The tray was, however, large enough to carry all the dirt that it picked up on one charge cycle. · While the unit got out of almost all of the tight spaces itself, it did get stuck occasionally. When it did, it said to reposition itself elsewhere. While this presented no problem when we were present, when we were out and it stopped, owing to the irregular and non-repetitive path that it followed, we did not know what areas were not yet vacuumed. · The unit does not have as much power as our upright or canister vacuums and does not pull up as much dirt. · The unit obviously does not move chairs or furniture, so there are areas that it does not get to. Also, the unit is 3.5 inches high and did not get under a couch. This height was similar to that of an upright we have, but it is higher than the carpet attachment for our canister vacuum. Also, the edge of the upright was lower than 3.5 inches, so it was able to get a little ways under the couch. · While the unit handled wood floors, area rugs on wood floors, and the transitions from carpets to these wood floors, it did not handle a rather thick runner on our wood floor. When it hit the runner, it treated it as an obstacle and moved off leaving it un-vacuumed. ·Read full review
I had been using a Roomba 400 series for years until it finally died. As much as I loved my old Roomba I can't believe how much better the 630 is at navigating rugs, not getting caught on wires (still happens, just a lot less), not getting it's brushes covered in long hairs and docking itself to recharge. Very happy with the purchase and it was a great price.
