But on hard surfaces it is really good.

This is a no joke vacuum on hard surfaces

Our floors (all hard surface with several area carpets and throw rugs) are definitely cleaner now than when we used traditional vacuums

The change from brushes to the dual flexible rollers has made a very noticeable difference in not only the efficacy of cleaning multiple surfaces but also in the minimal amount of maintenance required.

She does not get lodged under furniture and cleans surfaces better

If you have a predominately carpeted home this is probably NOT a good investment (especially if you have pets), but if you have a lot of hard surfaces you will see immediate and tremendous results.

This Roomba never gets stuck, never falls down my stairs, and cleans all the area rugs and bedroom carpet, plus the wood floors as well as, if not better than, my heavy-duty upright vacuum, It actually leaves vacuum marks on the carpet, showing to me that it deep-cleaned, not just skimmed the surface of the carpets.

The 980 does an excellent job of cleaning hard surface and carpeted areas

As for the hard surface flooring, the Roomba does not do as well here

All in all, this product excels at keeping dirt and litter clear on hard surfaces

I have a mix of hardwood and carpet, the unit detects what surface it is cleaning and adjusts its power within a minute or so of being on a different surface

The two speed motor automatically switches to lower power when cleaning hard surfaces and the machine will even back up and go over again carpet areas that are especially dirty

All the grit is gone from the hard surface floors.

Having 4,000 of hard surface floors and two stories to clean, I usually end up with a sore back, but no more

After reading several reviews on the upgrade extractor rollers, we gave our 650 to our daughter with mostly hard surface floors

We have hard surface floors and a big, hairy dog.

but it otherwise does a terrific job, cleaning surfaces I may not always clean.

I put some door stops down, but they only worked on carpeted surfaces, because she would yank them out as she passed through them on the hard wood surfaces.

The Roomba gets stuck on any dark surfaces

I would recommend Roomba to anyone; especially those with hard surface floors

I think there is a model for hard surfaces that even steam mops...it will be on my list for next

The Roomba actually makes very little noise on hard surfaces

On a hard surface floor, it leaves behind some tracked cat litter

Because the surface and between tiles is uneven, regular dust mops don't work perfectly.

I would think that would burn up the motor more quickly than with a hard surface.

980 cleans hard surface as well as carpeting...gets into hard places including under beds.

Roomba cleans both flat surfaces and rugs with equal ease

I am not real impressed with it on my hard surface

Highly recommend for Anyone looking to have surface cleaning with minimal effort!

See, the "cliff sensors" can't tell the difference between an actual "cliff" or just a dark surface (like a rug)

Also the top surface of the Roomba is pretty scratched up as we have some cabinets that overhand the kitchen floor at just the right height to rub the Roomba.

The 980’s cleaning pattern seems to be repetitive.

Each time she docks, I clean out her basket and brush off her filter and each time I do it, I am shocked as to how much dust, debris and fur is in the basket!!

We have to empty the bin after each cleaning as sometimes there is so much hair/dirt that even in one cleaning, the roomba will stop as the dust bin is full.

Love it Does get confused as to home base some times by does great job.

I definitely recommend this as long as it's not for excessive dog hair on carpet.

The brushes are more advanced and much easier to clean as they are a strips of rubber than traditional brush fibers

I have Neck, back & knee hardware that makes it difficult to clean as much as I would like to.

He cleans as if it is a new space every day

It also cannot clean over black carpet as it thinks its falling off of a cliff

It doesn't clean the rug nearly as good as my upright (durr) but it cleans it some

We have 5 dogs...keeps the floors clean of dog hair...honestly did not expect it to be as great as it is...set it and forget it (aside from emptying the bin).

This promotes reliable navigation both, for returning to point where it quit due to low battery as well as in finding its home dock.

not as flexible as I had hoped

First day she sucked up a

Now it is working up in the children’s room where it works partially as a

My husband and I were fascinated as we watched it go from room to room.

You don't get the same level of clean as if you vacuumed yourself, but it's close enough

In theory great idea but as far as it cleaning when not home so far hasn't worked to well as it gets stuck daily

While no robot is perfect, this robot does an overall good job cleaning as it works its way around the floor area

Vacuum does an excellent job cleaning a
