Area Coverage
Customers are generally positive about the area coverage of iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot for Pets and Allergies. They appreciate its ability to clean large areas systematically and effectively, especially in multi-level houses with various floor types and pet hair. However, some customers find it limiting that the robot needs to return to the charging station frequently, which can be a challenge for houses with complex floor plans or lots of cords and wires.

Virtual Lighthouse
Customers have mixed opinions on the effectiveness of the Virtual Lighthouse feature for controlling the Roomba's movement, with some praising its ability to keep the robot from entering unwanted areas and others finding it less effective in larger spaces. The lighthouses are battery-powered and can be switched between virtual wall and lighthouse functions to manage cleaning zones.
Reliability
Customers have mixed feelings regarding the reliability of iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets and Allergies. While some report that it is a significant improvement over previous models and requires minimal maintenance, others mention occasional issues with the robot getting stuck or failing to return to its charging station. Some users have had to perform minor repairs such as oiling the front wheel.
Room Node Functionality
Customers have mixed opinions about the Room Node Functionality of iRobot Roomba 880 Vacuum Cleaning Robot For Pets and Allergies. While some are satisfied with its ability to clean individual rooms using room nodes, others find it less efficient compared to future models that may incorporate GPS based easy-to-program room navigation. Users recommend starting with vacuumed floors and alternating the Roomba's starting point for more systematic cleaning.
Dustbin Capacity
Customers have mixed opinions about the dustbin capacity of the iRobot Roomba 880 vacuum cleaning robot for pets and allergies. While some find it to be small but holding an astonishing amount, others emphasize on the ease of emptying and cleaning the bin, which helps maintain its efficiency. Some customers also mention that they have adapted to emptying the bin daily due to the impressive amount of pet hair, cat litter, dust, and dirt it picks up each day.

Quality
The only maintenance has been to empty the dirt bin each day and tap out the bin filter, very easy to do and eye opening each t... Read More
Robot-friendly setup:1) remove clutter, cords and light accent rugs or bath mats from the floor where possible.
It is fragile, and with my routine removal of the filter after each use it has failed quickly.
After a couple months of daily use with bins full of super fine, long pet hair, i have never had to remove any hair (or anythin... Read More
Price
Yes it's expensive, but the new improvements in the 800 series really work well for me.
For such an expensive tool, it feels pretty cheap at times.
Shipping
It does not attract the roomba into a designated room, like a ship to a harbor.
Packaging/appearance
Here is my experience with this little helpful machine for those interested:out of the box, i thought that while the instructio... Read More
Competitiveness
If you have a similar situation the roomba aeroforce series is a no brainer.
The circular shape of the roomba should outperform its d-shaped competitor by not getting stuck in tight areas, like under chai... Read More
I have replaced the rollers, and the replacements don't seem to fit as well, though they are irobot brand.

I have no prior experience with cleaning robots so this review is based solely on my experience with the roomba 880 and is probably more geared towards people that actually have pets and are trying to keep the hairy mess down

It is not “set it and forget it” – get a cleaning lady if that is what you want
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However when it comes to how to actually place the virtual walls and lighthouses the instructions are not terribly helpful and it helped me to watch the robot a few times to get used to best placement
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The hardwood is about 34 inch raised above the linoleum and some area rugs are thick so the robot has to 34climb34

I have a constantly shedding yellow lab as well as a dark haired cat

So basically i had to either vacuum every day or accept that there are some dust bunnies during the days i dont get to it
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
But my main floor has lots of openings and angles and i think additional lighthousewall units may not be necessary for those with a very open floor plan two units are included with the robot
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
There will be some pet hair left behind in areas that didnt happen to be vacuumed much that day but quite honestly it is so minimal that i would argue that maybe you should have a goldfish instead of a dog or cat if that amount of pet hair bothers you
