Roomba 630 does the vacuuming for you. Using its patented 3-stage cleaning system, Roomba removes dirt, dust and much more while automatically adjusting to clean carpets, hardwood, tile and linoleum floors as it moves through your home. Roomba 630 has superior hair handling ability; the robot utilizes AeroVac™ Technology, maximizing air flow through its cleaning head to pull hair and debris off the brushes and into the bin evenly. The newly designed larger bin requires emptying less often and the innovative composition of the robot’s longer-lasting brushes allows it to handle fibers such as hair more effectively, making maintenance quicker and easier than ever. Roomba features iRobot’s iAdapt™ Responsive Cleaning Technology, an advanced system of software and sensors that allows the robot to vacuum more of your room more thoroughly. Roomba vacuums every section of your room multiple times, getting into areas you can’t easily reach, including under furniture and around everyday obstacles, vacuuming until the job is complete. The included Virtual Wall® confines the robot to specific rooms and areas and Roomba automatically returns to its Home Base® to dock and recharge between cycles. All you have to do is press “Clean” and let the robot do the work. This model includes a 12 month limited warranty for the robot and a 6 month limited warranty for the included battery. In the Box: 1 iRobot Roomba 630 (with 1 Robot battery, 1 Filter, 1 Side Brush, 1 Bristle Brush, 1 Beater Brush), 1 Self-Charging Home Base (with Power Supply), 1 Virtual Wall, 1 AeroVac™ Extra Filter, 1 Brush Cleaning Tool, Requires 2 C batteries (not included)

Product Features
3-Stage Cleaning with AeroVac – Roomba 630 uses a powerful 3-stage cleaning system to pick up an amazing amount of dirt, pet hair, and other debris. A spinning side brush cleans along wall edges to loosen dirt and dust. Then, Roomba’s counter-rotating brushes act like a broom and dustpan to pull debris from the floor. Finally, the powerful AeroVac vacuum sucks the dirt, hair, and debris from the brushes into the back of the large-chamber bin.
Dirt Detect™ – Roomba uses acoustic sensors to locate dirt so Roomba can perform a concentrated cleaning on the areas of your home that need it most.
iAdapt Responsive Cleaning Technology – iAdapt is iRobot’s advanced system of software and sensors that allows Roomba to clean more of your room, more thoroughly. Roomba covers every section of your floor multiple times, cleaning areas you can’t easily reach including under furniture, around everyday obstacles, along walls and under cabinets. It automatically adjusts to different floor types and avoids stairs, drop-offs, and tangles from loose cords.

The Roomba 500 series almost perfected. I’ve got three Roomba 500s (a pair of 560s and a 570), and I love ’em. Rock solid reliable, easy to work on, and do a great job keeping my floors clean. These Roombas aren’t toys, they actually clean the floors. In fact I’ve gone behind them with my Dyson just out of morbid curiosity and all I got was an empty bin. Sure, a Roomba can’t pick up as much dirt as a regular vacuum in one pass, but that’s why they’re programmed to cover the same area of carpet multiple times. And in some ways the Roomba is better than my Dyson. Why?Areas of my house that get vacuumed every week without effort:* Under my bed.* Under my dresser.* In the back corners of my closet where a regular vacuum can’t go.* Underneath my reclining theater seats.* Under my basement work bench and utility sink.* …and on and on…The 600s series is even better, as they include the Aero Vac dust bin, and the upgraded cleaning head module from the 700 series. The upgraded cleaning head module is a bit of a big deal, as it’s designed to keep the bearing clean and should result in a much longer lasting robot. In fact just last month I had to replace the cleaning module on my oldest 560 as it had gotten gunked up and warped from heat. Easy to fix, but the replacement module and compatible brushes were about 70 bucks. So if you’re considering an older 500 series Roomba to save a few bucks don’t!Anyway, bought this one for my Mom and she loves it. The only complaints I would make are:* Only one invisible wall is included with the 630.* Unlike my oldest 560, and my 570, the 630 doesn’t support lighthouses.* When you first get one you’ll have to “Roomba-proof” your house. Meaning the robot will get caught on curtains, rug tassels, etc, and you’ll have to fix or remove these obstacles. It’s a simple process, but just be aware your robot will get stuck on some things at first.* The upgraded cleaning head module is nice, but why can’t we get one with completely sealed metal bearings? The reason I think is that the robots would essentially last forever at that point and Roomba wouldn’t make as much money.
iRobot 630 best purchase! I recently purchased the iRobot 630 for Pets and it has gone above and beyond my expectations. I have an 80 lb. Lab and a huge longhaired cat, so I was skeptical of how this vacuum would handle all of the animal hair and dirt they track inside. I have to say this vacuum does a better job than I do manually vacuuming with my Dyson! My roomba carefully cleans along the baseboard and legs of furniture with her brush to remove any and all traces of pet hair, dust, and debris. As well, it has no problem cleaning an assortment of rugs including a large cowhide. The iRobot uses a zig zag type manuever to ensure all 1200 sq ft is perfectly clean. Cleaning the brushes and emptying the disposal unit is a breeze, and it keeps its charge for about 2 hours. After it has finished its cleaning cycle, or is tired the Roomba carefully docks itself back onto the charger. I would definately reccomend this product!
IRobots never die This is my fourth IRobot and they never seem to die. The first three are still going strong after several years of use, without any problems or any repairs aside from a yearly new battery. Just make sure to leave these plugged into the wall, sitting in their docks, all the time to keep the battery from dying prematurely. It also helps to preserve the battery to fully run them at least once a week but it’s not critical to do that.I empty the dirt canisters and clean the brushes after every use, which I don’t find to be a problem at all. I have a Scuba also, the floor mopping robot, of the same brand, and it also is a workhorse. I’ve told all my friends about my IRobots, and several have gotten them and love them too. One of them said that after a while his Roomba started going in circles but I told him to turn it over and check out the brush and front wheel for anything caught on it and sure enough, he cleaned a long thread from the front drive wheel and it’s good as new.The brush on this has been vastly improved from the earlier models and now this no longer requires as much attention to cleaning the brush as the older models. Hair no longer wraps tightly around the brush, and comes off easily. And most of the debris gets sucked into the dirt canister, thanks to the new Aerovac technology. All I do now with this is empty the full dirt canister. The brush mechanism cleans itself most of the time.Is it more powerful? I can say that in our one room with thick bulky old fashioned shag carpeting, it does indeed pull dirt out better and struggles less over the uneven texture. They all worked so well at vacuuming that other than on this one dense high pile rug, I can’t tell the difference. It picks up dirt as well as the older versions I have, which is excellent.Since the dirt canister is bigger, it doesn’t need emptying as often. I used to empty the dirt canister every other time I used my older Roomba, but this one allows me to go through several vacuumings before it needs emptying.These may look like a toy to the unitiated, but these do a much better job of cleaning than my upright vacuums. This is because they go over and over the same spot in a room about a hundred times. If you watch them, if they miss a piece of dirt on the first pass, they will eventually pick it up. They also have a long spinning brush that sticks out to the side which sweeps along the edges of walls and furniture. This picks up dirt that your bulky vacuum cleaner can’t reach, under the sofa and bed and tables and along wall edges.How often you do vacuum the old fashioned way, in a room, for 45 minutes? That’s how long these robots vacuum a room. So you can believe this does a thourough job. It’s the biggest reason for it’s great performance, aside from the powerfully spinning brush.The only negative I can think of (which is not really a negative) is that to use these frequently, you must be neat enough to keep everything off the floor. This new model seems to have solved the problem of sucking in electric cords though, but it still wants to suck in the edge of curtains. It is much better at avoiding pitfalls, uneven places, and dosen’t get stuck under things often like my older units do, although since I’ve had these I’ve arranged things to be Roomba friendly for the most part. They are all powerful. In fact, I would even go so far as to say they are more powerful than my upright vacuums.How does a little battery powered robotic vacuum actually do a better job of cleaning than a conventional vacuum? I have no idea, as it doesn’t seem possible even now, but it’s does. I love these suckers. And now I’ve got four of them, including the mopping one. One of them is the fancy “Scheduler” model, made to turn itself on and off automatically without supervision every day. I’ve never used the scheduling feature. I don’t find it a chore to push the on button on these by hand.IRobot’s customer service almost rivals that of Amazon’s. When you call them you immediately get an english speaking, intelligent, informed person who helps you by replacing without hesitation, anything that doesn’t work. I had called about a battery that died just before the one year date on one of my Roombas. They shipped me a new one without even asking for any documentation of my purchase!I recently picked out my new sofa and matching chairs with my IRobots in mind. They are on legs that are the perfect height to allow the little robotic vacuums to get under them. That’s how highly I regard these.Do I recommend this vacuum? You bet I do! This is one of my rare ten star products.
