The iRobot Roomba 532 Pet Series Vacuum Cleaning Robot make caring for a home with pets easier. The Pet Series robots come equipped with an extra set of easy to clean brushes, two interchangeable debris bins for trapping even more pet hair, kitty litter or dander and cleaning tools that ensure both sets of brushes remain free of debris for optimal performance. The high capacity sweeper bin holds three- and -a-half times more debris than the vacuum bin. Counter-rotating brushes reach deep into carpets to pull out pet hair, dander and more. Cleaning up to three standard-sized rooms on a single charge, it comes standard with two Virtual Walls that use infrared beams that creates and adjustable, invisible barrier that blocks Roomba from entering off-limit areas. When the cleaning is done, or the battery is running low, Roomba automatically locates and returns to its Home Base to dock and recharge. Roomba efficiently vacuums dirt, debris, pet hair, pet dander, dust, allergens and more from carpets and hard floors. Extra replacement filters ensure Roomba traps dust, pollen, pet dander and tiny particulate inside the bin. The Roomba 532 also includes iRobot's latest technological innovations, such as a light-touch bumper, stair sensing ability, advanced anti-tangle technology and the ability to transition from carpets to hard flooring with ease. Most pets are initially curious about Roomba but will quickly learn to ignore it-or even play with it. Special safety features help your pet safe: Stair-avoiding system, bump sensors and automatic shut-off so noses and paws won't be harmed if a curious pet flips Roomba over. You should run Roomba while you are at home for the first few cleaning cycles so your pet can get used to it. After that, you can let Roomba clean whether you're at home or on the go.

Our apartment is all hardwood floors with some area rugs scattered around, and Roomba cleans all of it amazingly. Before we got the Roomba, we would vacuum about once a week or so, and sweep every couple of days, but it wasn't enough to keep up with my boyfriend's allergies. Roomba has been a lifesaver there. We run it in a different room every day, so each room gets cleaned 1 or 2 times a week, and the floors look and feel so much better.
It's a little loud, and our downstairs neighbor works third shift, so we usually only run it when we get home in the evening, and during the day on weekends. Generally we have it clean one room a day, and sometimes empty the bin and re-run a room just to make sure it got any dust it kicked up the first time around.
A note for people with dust allergies: the first few times we ran it, it kicked up quite a bit of dust that the broom had been missing (I'm guessing in small cracks in the floor). So, the first few times we ran it, I would close the door to the room, wait for it's happy little "I'm finished" song, then go in to clean and re-start it. After a few days, it stopped finding so much dust (but you should have seen the vacuum filter at first - gross!) and now boyfriend can run it anywhere in the apt without getting stuffed up.
The reason this only gets 4 stars: Occasionally it will refuse to run, and the "Clean" button will turn orange/yellow, and flash rapidly while trying to charge. When this happens, I take the battery out and make sure all the connections are clean. If that doesn't work, every now and then we have to plug the cord directly into the Roomba and just leave it alone for 2 or 3 days. (This was recommended on a Roomba forum.) Then it will run normally again. This has only happened 2 or 3 times in the year we've had it, so it's not a huge deal, considering how much it runs.
Overall, it's a great purchase, and I'm still glad we got it every time I look at the heavy, loud, dirty vacuum that's been sitting untouched in the closet. If our 532 ever breaks permanently, we'll probably get a model with programmable cleaning cycles, but will definitely stick with Roomba.

My husband did quite a bit of research before we actually purchased this model; we chose the pet series because we own a large dog and hair is a constant issue. It became apparent that the Roomba can't compare to a heavy duty upright - but it does help us immensely because we are able to run it every day (or more if necessary) and we do a much better job at keeping things picked up so it can do its job more efficiently.

Like most of the reviews I was originally very happy with Roomba, and give it a very positive 5 star review, but the robot broke after less than a year. I learned not only is it very cheaply built, but its bad design leaves it vulnerable to the dust it is supposed to be designed to pick up.
It turns out its parts are very vulnerable to dust which is a major issue for a vacuum cleaner. None of the gears, barings, or moving components are sealed so dust gets into them and they start to grind until they fail. Even the gears and bearings that drive the bushes are unsealed leaving them vulnerable to the dust and dirt they are designed to pick up.
Eventually the brushes on the bottom stopped working. The tech support person confirmed that it was still under warranty, and that the problem was a documented know fault with the design. They how ever refused to replace it. The only thing they would offer was to send me new parts that I would have to replace my self. I explained I am not a tech of any kind and did not feel I was qualified to replace small gears that need to be precisely installed. They said sending me the parts was all they would do for me.

Pros:
Does a good job picking up loose dirt and can clean modest sized rooms.
Cons:
The roomba 532 series model doesn't hold dust and cat fur as well as the previous module. A significant amount of dust/lint and fur accumulate on the rollers until it gets ejected back onto the floor. I clean the roomba 1-2 times during a single run, and there is 'always' more dirt on the rollers and spinning brush than in the dirt bin.
This pet model of roomba doesn't appear to outperform the 570 with pet hair IMO. On the flip side it does seem to overheat faster.
In short I'll probably go back to the 570 model.

I purchased the 532 in Aug. of 2008...on the recommendation of 2 people who had one and loved it. I too felliRobot Roomba Pet Series 532 Vacuum Cleaning Robot in love and was showing it off to everyone. It worked about 1 month. The wheels would clog up and have to take apart and clean. Finally we got feed up and contacted customer service. They replaced the whole brush / pickup box...in Feb. 09...it worked until the summer and then it would run 5 minutes and stop, as this is what it did before I thought it was the same thing....but when we contacted them in Sept. 09 they had me reset the battery...that did not work. I went out of town and did not get back in touch until Jan., it have been in closet for 6 months...now they are making me buy a batteries! Long story short, a $300 vacuum has worked maybe 6 months out of 18 months, and it now costing me $55.....last I robot I buy...iRobot Roomba Pet Series 532 Vacuum Cleaning Robot
