  iRobot Roomba 4910 Replacement Filters

  Cheaper than elsewhere

  So you need filters for your Roomba...well, here they are and they're fairly cheaper than iRobot themselves from time to time. Not really much to say...the filters work...trap a lot of dust. Get 'em here while you're shopping for other stuff as well and toss 'em in the closet so you won't be caught without one when you need it. 5/5 Therabbitssing "on the rock that spews lava.."

  Good filters, won't last forever though

  These are OEM filters that fit my Roomba Discovery just fine. I try to replace them when they start looking really bad (once every 2-3 mos. for me). They are disposable and won't stand up to washing. 4/5 Kevin Scarbery (Alexandria, VA USA) - See all my reviews, November 8, 2006

  They are just filters...

  If you have a Roomba, you will need to replace the filter every month or so. The little robot vacuum appears to be very good at picking up even microscopic pieces of grit, and the filter helps it keep its suction. Extra filters are good to have. 5/5 Milton (Franklin, WI, United States) - See all my reviews, July 23, 2007

  i robot batteries for 1/3 the price

  I have owned an i robot for at least 6 years maybe more. Every year i have to order a new battery. This year someone told me that i can now get batteries on line without going through Irobot. I am so grateful this battery was 1/3 the cost and works even better ( so far) runs longer by about 30 minutes. I love my irobot but was ready to just throw it away becasue of the continual costs. Thank you Amazon, i can now afford to keep it in batterys. 5/5 Jane - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Worked great . . . for 5 months

  This battery worked like a charm for 5 months, but now it only holds a charge for about 20 minutes.

  Great but not perfect ***Downgraded Star Rating***

  My wife and I decided to get one of these because our 8 month old son is about to start crawling. While we try and keep our floors clean, our beagle has other thoughts as she sheds all over the place. We went with the latest 560 model as it has just about everything we would want with a product like this. It works as advertised and we will definitley keep it but there are some areas that need improvement. Here is a quick breakdown of the pros and consPros1. Quieter than a standard vaccuum2. Seems to learn the room dimensions quickly. The virtual walls and lighthouse feature are very nice.3. Is "smart" enough to avoid getting tangled in our area rugs4. Obviously easy to use as it is just a push of a button (or even better when you program it)5. Can use everyday to keep the floors spotless6. Have successfully used it on hard wood, vinyl, carpet and (accidently) concrete7. Cleans under... 4/5 M. Kelley "mpkelley20" (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews, September 16, 2007

  A Worthy Successor to the Roomba Line

  We have two Roombas plus a Scooba in our house. When one of the batteries on one of our Roombas finally reached the end of its life cycle, we decided to donate that Roomba to a friend and to get ourselves the new top of the line - the Roomba 560. We got this right when it first came out, but we waited several months before posting a review. It's pretty much impossible to review one of these Roombas after only a few days! It takes weeks if not months to start to see how well they last over time, and what breaks down. Believe me - been there, done that.So now it's many months later, and I have to say, we are quite pleased with the improvements of this Roomba over the previous generations of Roombas. So first, for those who don't even have ANY Roomba yet (hard to believe!). Roombas are awesome. We have cats, and we work from home so we're home all day. It is AMAZING how much dirt and dust and junk collects in the carpet every single day. Who really has time to vacuum their... 5/5 Lisa Shea "medieval swordfighting enthusiast" - See all my reviews, December 12, 2007

  Beware of the "new" Roomba 560 now only for single room (updated review)

  UPDATE 12/19/2011My review in late 2007 describing the red side brush "amputee" problem and poor customer support is still the highest rated critical response on Amazon. Because of that experience, the recounting of which is in the original review appended below after this update, I had not bought an iRobot product in over four years. Now I have bought two "new" 560s, which arrived today (more about "new" below). This update is primarily for (i) previous owners of a 560 that are contemplating buying a "new" 560 or (ii) those that have information on the original 560 and mistakenly believe that this is what they will get if they order a "new" 560.If it were not for the problems discussed in this update, I would raise my rating to 3.5 stars. Once again, I think iRobot may be shooting itself in the foot. And what upsets me is that I really want to see this company succeed.By way of disclosure I have owned several of every generation of Roomba.

  Pleasantly surprised!

  Frankly, I was hesitant to order this because there weren't many reviews and replacement batteries from another vendor can sometimes be a little sketchy in my limited experience. The price made it worth trying for me, and I'm very pleased. The battery fits in my Roomba Sage perfectly, and it charged with no problem. It's been running for a while now doing the first cleaning (hooray for getting housework done while I'm on the computer). I'm happy! 5/5 J.

  I like the Roomba, but this is expensive

  I have had Roomba's for years... They do require a little maintenance (Brush cleaning, cleaning the pet hair from the ends of the rollers) but overall they are pretty great. Cleaning the brushes is no big deal, I do it when I empty the bin. It takes a minute or two to empty the bin and clean the brushes, and it's ready to go.We have two pugs, and they shed constantly. The 500 series Roomba's are a pretty huge improvement in design (I am a mechanical design engineer) They have redesigned the roomba to make everything modular, so if something does wear out, it is very easy to replace. My old Roomba was the first model with the scheduling ability, and I did have to replace a few things. I had to replace some transmission parts, and the batteries. Of course, I had to replace the brushes and filters many times over the years. I upgraded the batteries to give it more time to vaccuum, but the 550 seems to be pretty great right out of the box. It can run for almost two hours... 3/5 K. Williams "Keldawwg" (Brentwood, California USA) - See all my reviews, January 20, 2010

  As revolutionary as the dishwasher!

  FIRST, if you haven't already, sign up for the Gold Box Deal email alerts.I have no carpet whatsoever in my house. For reasons I won't go into other than to say you can never get the nasty stuff completely clean no matter how many times you vacuum and shampoo, I hate it. I have four cats, one very messy African Grey parrot and two elementary aged children so, naturally, I could sweep or vacuum every room in the house three times a day. Being an extremely busy person and wanting to do everything except sweep, a robotic vacuum cleaner sounded like manna from heaven.I have drooled over the Roomba for a long while and have researched it endlessly. A co-worker has one and just loves it. Because of the price, though, I thought it was out of my reach until one day a couple of weeks ago when I checked my email. There it was---the Roomba was a Gold Box Deal and it was more than half off!!! Oh, yeah!

  The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly Truth

  First the good. It probably works better than your current vacumn cleaner. It really does vacumn well. We have a vacation rental home that is vacumned every two days. The Roomba made it even cleaner. Customer support is good, while the vacumn is under warrenty. Once its out of warrenty, it is out of warrenty. I would buy it with a credit card that doubles the warrenty. Will discuss further on the ugly section.You do have to "set-up" your house for the vacumn. But it is no big deal. It will stick under some cabinets. Placing a piece of wood solves that problem. Fine cords need to be picked up, before the vacumn does it for you. Some furniture legs that are about 3/4 inch high will high center the machine and stop it dead in its tracks. It will vacumn about 800 sq. feet on a charge fairly well. We quit using the Guards after one or two uses and just shut doors or blocked off doorways.The bad.
