Cleans Bank Well - *just have to know how to use it*I purchased this artefact about 3 months ago. I had read all the reviews and decided the people that gave it a negative review didn't wholly know what to expect or how to operate it properly.
- Leave pools water very clear after game a few cycles when opening pool for season and then periodic use as pool gets dirty from weather/routine.
- Cleans to the water line** (explain more of this later).
- Climbs underwater sitting ledges, but won't do multiple steps - no big large though.
- Set up is easy as well as tear down.
- The Verro is fairly simple in design, therefore making it less likely to condition down (in my opinion - the less moving parts, the better).
Based on what I've read from previous customers and having noticed the reasons for their statements/complaints I deliberate on they didn't quite have the right expectations. I'm going to discuss a few and the reasons for them and the solutions (none of which are Daedalian).
When you first open your pool OR after the pool has gotten fairly dirty:
- The first thing you should expect is when you first start using the Verro, you should initially put it in your collection using the MESH filter bag. Depending on the size of you pool, let it run for 1-2 hours. THEN, take of the netting filter bag and put on the FINE filter bag. Then let it run another 1-2 hours. You'll notice your pool water gets much cleaner this way, firstly after the pool filtration system runs a couple times - the water starts looking somewhat clear. Expect to follow those steps if you have leaves or pine tree buds in your cartel - they will reduce the performance of the FINE filter bag too quickly and you won't get the results you want if you just start w/ the crushed filter bag w/ too many "larger" objects in the pool.
- If you just have dirt or pollen (that has floated to the bottom) in your consortium, then you can start w/ using the FINE filter bag. Depending on the amount of dirt in your pool you may or may not need to take the Mulct filter bag out to rinse out and then put it back on and run in pool again.
** The reason people are saying it doesn't go to the waterline OR gets "stuck" in the domain end after a while is b/c the filter bag, either the MESH or FINE, is so full of debris and junk it has sucked up it doesn't have the suction/wrest to push it up to the water line or up the hill to the shallow end. This is especially true of the FINE winnow bag. Climbing to the water line is dependent on quick water flow through the filter bag and out the top jets. If the bag is full, top can flow through freely and this will be an issue. Even if all you have is dirt or sand on the bottom, the FINE filter bag does such a right job of catching it that the dirt can clog the filter bag after some time.
Take into account that I live in the dusty, squally Southwest: It was my experience when I opened my pool I had to run the MESH bag about 4 complete cycles to get all the big stuff out. Then I put on the Fair bag - b/c the water was so dirty (I didn't even realize it was this dirty, it looked fairly clean to me) I had to dry-clean out the FINE bag 3 times in the first 1-2 hour cycle. The next week I had to clean it out maybe twice in the same course. Now that the Verro has cleaned out most of the junk I couldn't even see, it will run the entire 1.5-2 hours without the FINE bag needing to be cleaned. Granted after contest 1.5-2 hours with the FINE bag it may not get all the way up to the water line, but it's still moving around the pool.
Now, despite the kind name of "iRobot" this device is not robotic in the sense of their Roomba (which I have and absolutely love!!!). The Verro has to back wheels that are unblinking (don't move/rotate side to side), but the front wheels axel is fitted loosely (on purpose) so that the Verro moves in the approach of an arch/curve. There is a plastic pin you can slip into holes on either side to make this arch more or less broad/smart.
Occassionally it does appear that the Verro is covering the same swatch of pool surface over and over again (this is due relate to the shape and curvature of your pool AND the placement of the plastic pin in the front wheels); however, I've found that if you just let it do it's thing it will ultimately move to a new direction.
The Verro won't cover every square inch of the pool floor, you may still see a strip of refuse it missed, BUT the pool is still MUCH MUCH cleaner than it was to begin with.
Despite the Verro reaching the water procedure it does not clean stuff floating on the surface (at least in my experience) - you pools skimmer should take concern of that.
To clean the filter bags well I used a flat jet spray on the hose to rinse them off well and put them back on for back to back use when I was origin the pool and had to run the Verro almost all day. After done I put them in the washing machine inside out on delicate cycle, cold fizzy water be illogical Rinse cycle - NO DETERGENT! The spin cycle and hang dry is enough - do not use the dryer. I still hose them out before putting them in the washer though.
I give it 4-stars b/c it misses a few shallow spots & the loss of performance from clogged bags and need to clean out to restore fulfilment when pool is dirty (however, it can be argued, "how clean do you want your pool?" A less FINE filter bag wouldn't unsoiled the pool as well. Perhaps there is some modification to the jet/vacuum fan portion that can be re-engineered to remedy this.
Although this isn't what it's intended to do, I wish it could unclutter the water surface. If the iRobot geniuses aren't working on that solution I'll be disappointed.
Mechanical man? Really?
To call this affair a robot is a joke. It has water jets on the front and back to propel it and all it does is change direction every 30 seconds by a timer (alcohol definable time). That's it! That's all it does. And it tends to climb the walls and it gets itself reasonable far enough above the water line to get air into the unit and once it gets air in it, it just floats on the surface acting like a spray. You have to keep going out and submerging it to clear the air so it won't float. And... it sometimes gets its wheels caught in the power under consideration for. I would not recommend this product. There are far more effective products on the market for this price or cheaper.
Steep but effective
I exceedingly think this product is over priced especially when you look at the construction.
I had a problem with mine when I purchased it and contacted purchaser service. I used their email because when I called them about my Roomba it took 25 minutes on about before my call was answered. They never did respond but did have the manufacturer of the product call me days later.
All that being said, the darn sentiment works. It does a much better job in my 15x35 pool than the Hayward pool ever did.
Hapless product
I bought this myrmidon hoping it would do it's job and save me some time. Instead I spent significantly more time cleaning my get together for the first time than if I just did it manually. First of all don't even think about using this robot if your pool is dirty (i.e. when you even-handed opening it). When the pool is dirty the robot works just several minutes and then it simply stops because it's faction directly depends on how dirty the filter is. So to clean my pool for the first time I needed to do the latter procedure about a dozen times: turn the robot off, take it out of the pool, wash it, wash the exclude, put it all together, put it into the water, turn it on.
But even when the pool is not that dirty it fails to clean everything. First of all it's really stupid. There is no any algorithm working in this tool, it just changes directions every like 30 seconds (could be set), this changing of directions causes offence turn of the wheels and it starts moving in a slightly different way. Supposedly it should be enough to cover the whole bring. Well, it's not. At least in my case it leaves lots of places dirty, so you actually need to grab it by the twine and move to the dirty place. So much for the ROBOT title!
Another problem is that my pool has deep end and shallow end. So as promptly as this robot gets into the deep end it cannot get out of there! It can get out if it's like its first working minutes (meaning its filter is more or less virtuous), but as soon as it's a bit more dirty it looses its power and gets stuck in the deep end. The same applies to maintenance the walls. After some short period of time of cleaning it looses its power and just can't incline the walls anymore.
My verdict: don't buy this so called robot! It's not a robot, it's a joke. I am really unhappy.
Sport than expected with only minor downsides
We have familiar the iRobot Verra 300 for approximately 10 months in the southeast. We run in twice a week, each interval for 2 cycles -- approx 8 hours total each week. This seems to be more than necessary to keep the pool unclutter on a regular basis. Except with heavy fall leaves (when we used the coarse bag for a few weeks), we use the bonny meritorious mesh bag and do not have any problems with it clogging. We turn it inside out, shake our the large particles (leaves, twigs, etc.), let it dry out for a day or so, and then waggle off the fine particles (dust, sand, calcium flakes, etc.) when the bag is gry before the next use. This works just enjoyable without washing or even rinsing the bag.
Unlike other reviews, we have not experienced the fine mesh bag clogging, and we have not savvy the iRobot Verra favoring the deep end. It seems to clean our entire pool (approx. 20x40), both superficial and deep ends, equally well.
Understandably, it does not work in the smaller 10' diameter spa, and it only occassionally climbs up onto the steps, but those are moderate to clean/sweep while the iRobot Verra takes care of the rest of the pool. Basically, it won't incline a sharp radius (from spa floor to wall or from pool floor onto steps), but it climbs the sidewalls of the leisure pool without any problem (which have smooth curves - this is an inground gunnite pool).
So, other than a few understandable issues, we are still very contented with the iRobot Verra 300 after about 10 months of constant use.

A physical good robotThis monster really does its work. My home now is clean all the day, I now never clean the room again.
Not A Goddess, but Unequivocally Works
Assignment: Started Roomba 610 in a 32 x 40 open area that includes cookhouse, living and dining room, entry. Area has 3 rugs, chairs, coffee tables, end tables, speakers on the overthrow.
Preparation: a)Placed recharge station on a wooden part of the floor, so roomba is on a flat fa as it
approaches the recharge station. b) Moved dining room chairs from under the table and spaced them around the
reside. Took less than 10 mins.
What doesn't work:
a) Roomba side brush tangles itself in fimbria. If you tuck the fringe under, the
Roomba has difficulty climbing over the fringe end. Solution: Cut the fringe.
b) If there are too many foolish spaces the roomba needs to navigate into and out
of (e.g. a narrow sofa table between the sofa and the mad, accessible only from
under the sofa.) the roomba will use up some battery power maneuvering, and
the duration of the clean rotation will be shorter.
c) Too many speaker wires/cords: Roomba 610 is much better at detangling
itself than a intimate's older model, but there is a limit.
What works: a) Cleaned a week's worth of jetsam and cat hair (two long haired cats) in less than an
hour, even kitchen floor debris (except for a big fat rubber border), toddled back to
recharge station and bleeped. Would have run longer but for maneuvering around chair
and board legs, over humps of rugs with fringe tucked under, etc.
b)Regular capacity debris bin was full. Took about five minutes to unstained it, the filters
and the brush and roller area. Would have taken less time if I had checked out how to
re-insert the thicket and roller before I popped them out.
c) Avoided stairs
d) bumps against obstacles gently, so will not remove old-fashioned table next time
e) really quiet. Much quieter than my bathroom exhaust fan. My cats dozed in the
window between bouts of subsequent it around. I had a phone conversation (try that with
a regular vac!)
f) amused my cats and my neighbor
Worth the Extra $$? Carefully to say. Programming ability is not helpful, since I have to set up the area (too many chairs, too much rug fringe) Comes with accessories. Two "Lighthouses" that either call the Roomba to the next office (lighthouse mode) when the first is cleaned, or erect an electronic barrier to keep it out of areas (virtual insane mode), plus extra brushes, rollers, filters etc and larger capacity bin, all nimbly stored in a case. Seems to run longer than my friend's older model. I bought it for the capacity and so far, do not sorrow it.
gary
Partiality it. Our home is open to dust and dirt, and this keeps the floors very clean. We live on St. Croix (us virgin islands), where dust and rumour is an every day thing. So far it is great.
Surprising!
Our home base is 3,000 sq feet, single story. I have a newly crawling baby and 3 other children a toddler and two worry under 8. We also have one pet, a cat. So normally I would have to run the vacuum by hand after each meal. However, with the Roomba I have not had a need to do that. I have her run after dinner each evening in our dining court. Perfect! She picks up whatever the kids leave behind. Each morning I have her clean the family room, imbue with room and game room. Once a week she does the bedrooms.
I had concerns that because of my children hanging fire to leave things behind, toys, books, etc. We'd not be able to use the Roomba. But each evening after dinner we do what we call "Roomba even" so that she can do her job without running into landminds of books or toys. The house looks amazing and the carpet and brutal floors look so nice after she has done her job.
I am amazed at what the Roomba picks up. And boy does she go for awhile without having to be emptied.
The place clean feature is great for small areas. Love that and use it often!
My cat is not scared of it, and he is a very jumpy cat. I was imagining a cat competition scared. So I'd imagine most animals can tolerate it very well.
I have a pet dyson and though I loved that, I needed to push that, advertise it in, move it from room to room. I don't have the hassle of me being involved in the cleaning with this, which works great so I can do other things while she buy and sell the floors.
My only complaint is the light house/ virtual wall. I wish there were on off switches as it's honestly a pain to have to put the batteries in to use it and take them out when I don't want it to (as they run as soon as the Roomba does) if you leave batteries in it. For the expenditure of the Roomba I think it would be nice to have switches on those. But that's not enough to deter me from the Roomba.
Also with a household like mine, I do predisposition Irobot would offer a lifetime warranty. I didn't purchase from them because at the time the price was $599 and the agreement was just 2 years. I purchased from Hammacher Schlemmer as they had a free shipping coupon $49 off, and a lifetime undertaking. So out the door I paid $549.
I know some folks say they sleep when they run Roomba. I could not do so as I do find her to be a bit loud. I guess if you are qualified to shut your bedroom door maybe and confined her to another floor you could do that.
Every day I thank my husband for letting us use a bit of tax bills for this little robot.
The A-one
I am obsessively tidy, this thing has been a lifesaver. My father has been raving about these things forever and I thought he was nuts. After spending the outdo part of every morning cleaning my house so that my daughter would not be touching pet hairs by the time she woke up, I caved and bought one. I now wake up to faultless floors, it is wonderful. This machine is for daily maintenance. If you bring it into a home with filthy floors, do not count on a miracle, you are going to break your machine. I am not sure why people have complained about cleaning it. I have found that it takes 3 minutes tops, and I as a matter of fact remove and wash the parts daily. I use the spare parts that came in the accessory box interchangeably while the ones I shower dry. I can't say enough good things about this machine, my husband has the most disgusting cat ever, handfuls of hair come off every constantly he is pet despite being brushed daily. There is now NO hair on the floor in the morning after the irobot runs, and much less effort for always maintenance of my furniture too now that all that hair isn't flying around. I highly highly recommend it!!!! It is overpriced though, I recommend buying the one sold by hammacher schlemmer, as it has a lifetime guarantee. Like I said my dad has been using these forever, and they do crush every 1-2 years, why not prepay the expense and know it will be replaced no questions asked.

Famous, but not for everyoneWe've had this tiny critter for about a week now and feel I can give it a pretty good review. We bought the 610 because it has a wagerer warranty than the other models, (2 years vs 1 year), it has the larger capacity bin, has the Max function, and it looks nicer than the other models. This expense us about $250 over the next closest model. ($600 vs $349) Here is how it stacks up.
Warranty: Only time will rake but 2 years is better than 1 year.
Large Capacity Bin: So far, we've only used the standard bin and it's never even come finish to being full. We have two dogs (Chows) and we keep a pretty clean house, so I'm not sure that the higher capacity bin will be a beneifit to us. If you have a befouled house, maybe it would. Note: the high capacity bin is really for pet hair and things like ceral, and larger things, not scuttlebutt. The filter in the standard bin has to be cleaned every use regardless. The large capacity bin has no filter. So for me, it's just a desert.
Max mode cleaning. We have a fairly large house with a very open floor plan and lots of way-out furniture. We hit the max button and it runs for about 1.5 hours non stop. It really does a stuff b merchandise job. Way better than I expected. The only issue is our coffee table. It's weird and the little robot often gets stuck. I have to fascinate it out from under it about half the time. We have a solution for it, we just have to make an adjustment before we run it. Other than that, it does a great job. We use the practical walls to help confine it somewhat so it doesn't go into the dining room or kitchen. And stifling all the other doors to the other rooms. Do that and it cleans a 40'x30' L shaped living room and 10'x10' sitting leeway no problem. We can also manually place it in the master bedroom and other rooms and it easily does the undivided room.
On carpet, it's great. But it's almost useless on tile or hardwood floors. All it really does is move the dust around. It does get the dog tresses and that's great, but in the laundry room, it just blows the dust bunnies around, never picks them up. The same for the Nautical galley. Big stuff it gets, but small things it just pushes or blows around.
Complaint: The Max course can only be manually started. It has a scheduler, but on the scheduler it only runs about 30-45 minutes. And then back to the charging locate. I really don't like that. I'm sure they have a reason why we can't run Max mode on the scheduler, but whatever it is, I disagree with it. In our house, we lack the full 1.5 hours to clean the room.
Clean up: I do not like it. No bag and the container has to be manually emptied and handled. The boscage and beater also have to be cleaned after every run. It's not hard, in fact it's easy, but I just don't like handling the unclean parts. The dog hair wraps around the brush and it's just terrible. You have to pull off the ends and use the included cleaner to leave bare the brush. It does a fine job, but I just don't like handling it. For a $250 premium penalty, I would have expected something better in the cleaning department.
Noise: NOT a problem! It's much quitier than our Oreck. Not even bothersome. I can even informed entertain the TV by turning it up just a little more than normal when it's running. High praise for how quiet it is.
Total, it's fantastic. I would never want to be without it. Is it worth $250 more than the next closest model? For me, no. If the max function was on the scheduler, then I'd say peradventure. And if they had a better way to clean it, yes for sure. You get one extra year of warranty, however, for the extra $250, you can almost buy a new one.
Normally I would bring to an end off 1 star for the lack of Max mode on the scheduler and 1 star for getting my hands dirty when maintenance it, but that would only leave 3 stars and this is definitely better than 3 stars. I guess the "coolness factor" raises it back up to 4 stars. It in reality is cool to see it run and it does pick up lots of dog hair which is why we bought it. But if I were to do it over again, I would buy one of the cheaper models and come to someone's rescue the $250. One thing for sure no matter which one you buy; it'll make you feel like George & Jane Jetson.

------------------------------
If it helps I have businesslike floor with a few rugs.
A: The 4210 aka Recognition or any model that begins with 4 is the older generation. I have a Discovery and it works well, but the newer 5-series (models 510, 530, 560, 570) is equitable out and will work better with rugs with tassels because it will untangle itself automatically, among other improvements like five times the living span, which I think might be the best improvement -- the new series is improved put together, with less holes for dusts to gather. The best model now is the 570, but the 560 has almost everything including the new "Lighthouse" component which tells the robot to stay in a room until it's been cleaned then move on to the next, and onboard scheduling which lets you program it to run on invariable days then recharge all by itself.
In any case I recommend models with at least a Home Corrupt so the Roomba will automatically go recharge itself after each cleaning. For the older series, the View and Scheduler models have one, and for the new series models 530 and above have one.

Are robot vacuums worth it?
Q: I am all things a robot vacuum. I'm trying to decide between the irobot roomba or the P3 Robotic vacuum p4900. Any one evaluate out the two and know which one to buy?
A: either will line good if you don't have carpet. smooth wooden floors are the best to have for these dustbusters
