A robot! That cleans your floors!
Cleans better than previous Roombas
It's pretty much ready to suck right out of the box. Program the date and time
Press clean
And Roomba starts doing its thing. This is luxury vacuum that any idiot can operate. Any terminally lazy idiot
At that. Because it uses a brushless system

The iRobot Roomba 880 replaces its predecessor's bristly brushes with rubbery "extractors" as part of the new AeroForce cleaning system. This brushless technology removes debris better than previous iterations and keeps maintenance to a minimum

Problems with obstacles
Noisy
Requires open area for base station
It's a bit loud. Which isn't so much of a complaint as it is a nitpicky thing. I would love to see the next-gen Roomba that's a little quieter
Should You Buy It?
Yes. The Roomba is like a maid
But it's a better investment. Don't like to clean? Buy this
Still as pricey as ever. The sidebrush could have used a little bit more of redesign besides a screw upgrade
Small collection bin
Not as powerful as bigger vacuums
Small dust bin
Very expensive. Complicated home layouts require planning and accessories

In the spot clean mode
The side brush scattered the debris

The bin is supposedly larger than in previous Roomba models, but it still fills up too quickly when you're dealing with dust and shedding pets. That, and it costs $699

It's pricey, but owners who appreciate some assistance in keeping their house clean -- and especially those with allergies or multiple pets -- say the iRobot Roomba 880 is worth every penny. It's reported as durable, easy to use and program, and quite int...

Problems with obstacles, Noisy, Requires open area for base station
The Roomba, the automated robot vacuum, is more than just a great idea — it's an inevitable one. As technology progresses, it just makes too much sense to relegate simple, menial tasks to automatons. I have no doubt that one day, most homes will have robo...

The iRobot Roomba is back and it's better than ever. Instead of another incremental upgrade – the iRobot 800 series has upped the ante and turned vacuuming on its head. Ditching the traditional bristle bar in place of ‘rubbery' AeroForce Extractors fe...

Abstract: If you were to look back through the development of the Roomba over the past five years or so, you'd be surprised at how little the robot vacuum cleaner has changed. The Roomba 500 series had about a five-year run where it saw a few minor revisions but ul...
