What is the actual sq footage it cleans? For instance will it go from bedroom to closet down hall to dining room & then to other side of house?

That will vary depending on how dirty the area to be cleaned is. Roomba has an automatic shut down function when the collection bin is full. We have 2 cats and a long haired dog and use Roomba downstairs, ~1000 sq ft, and it hasn't filled while running yet.

I have an 1130 sq ft condo and it cleans it all in about 1 hour. It will go all over the house until the bateery is low then it will go recharge itself. Keep in mind that the vacuum is not very powerful. The way it cleans is by going over the same area multiple times. It also does not have hugh storage area for dirt, dust, crumbs, hair, sand, or whatever is on your floor. And it does not clean shag carpet well. Good points are you start it and then leave it. It goes under the bed and most furniture. It will not fall off an upstairs area by going over the edge.

Yes, it cleans all of your home...rugs, flooring, under furniture, and if you don't want it to go to a certain place then you need to block off. Sometimes mine will get stuck under some furniture that has low spots. If you have any cords that it could possibly get to then you also need to block that area. It will go back to home base on it's own when the battery needs recharging. Also, be sure to clean after each usage.

The way it works best is to put it in a room , close the door, let it run 20 min. move it to the next room do the same. It will not clean one room then move to the next room.I have been able to clean 3 rooms plus hall.

I only can tell you that my house is 1650 square feet of vacuuming area, and it does everything. I usually turn it on (get cords and stuff off the floor), go outside, and when I come back in, it has cleaned all the rooms and put itself back on the charging station. It's a joy to have!

Sorry I don't have the room square footage info you asked about, but I used one in a very large and cold bathroom and it worked very well even though I just turned it on when I was in that room bathing, dressing, etc. I have another in a large and very cold sunroom (lots of windows) whenever I am sitting in there (except in summer) and it warms it up nicely.

Mine is a large room (combined kitchen, living area). This is a good air cleaner for me.

Don't know. Didn't pay attention. The thing has been working day & night for years without a problem. You just have to keep it clean. This model is only good for one room. I had a bigger one years ago that handled several open rooms; or seemed to.

Yes. In fact, it does a superb job on hardwood floors. Most of my house is either hardwood or tile...only the bedrooms are low-cut carpet. This vacuum does great no matter what the surface is. Highly recommended!

The area that my Mint cleans is about 1000 sq. feet, and it does just fine. I think it would do 2000 if the area was open, without much furniture for it to navigate.

My question exactly! Amazon should include approx. Sq. footage coverage in the product description. I was thinking of getting one for upstairs and one for downstairs. Think I will try it though.

I am on my 2nd kit, 1st one cleaned a dining room living room combo. It was the smaller option. I bought the larger container a few months back and I am still using it.

Its more of a spot cleaner., not a all over room cleaner. So the smaller the space the better if you want to do a whole room. The carpet does not exactly get "wet" more as damp. If done correctly the floor dries rather quickly. If your a little heavy on the water the floor can take quite a while to dry, but it also depends on the type of fabric.

Ours covers more than 1200 square feet upstairs really well, and boosts downstairs as well. You have to place the inside antennae correctly, but it does a wonderful job for us. I'm very glad we bought it!

My apartment is 920 square feet and it does a great job. The suction of this unit is very surprising considering the price. I live that its easily stores and not bulky. I wish it had an automatic wind up for the cord, but the absence of this option does not take away feom the unit. I love it!! GOOD LUCK!!

Manufacturer specs say 500 sq ft. We use it in a space that is actually two rooms open to each other, a little under 400 sq ft. It seems to do a good job.

You may wish to check the specifications, but the size of the room will also depend on the humidity the unit must remove. We have ours in a large unfinished basement area, and it is doing the job quite well. My assessement from a lay perspective is that it will handle a large room or small one-floor apartment nicely. It won't handle a house. I would be overkill for a typical sized-bedroom or bathroom alone.

This is the one, the 36 sq ft. It was used in my daughters room before she could walk. We would have some in the living room as well. Not so good with pets because the pieces can get scratched and ruined. Plus hair gets all in between the pieces and it builds up underneath.

I have three cats and use this in my very large bedroom. It does a good job but only on that one room. Hope this helps.

It depends on a few things. Since there are 2 power settings, that is a factor. But here is how I use it. I have a townhouse, with 1500 square feet. Downstairs is wood floors and laminate, with throw rugs around. I can do all of the downstairs, then the carpeted stairs, and the upstairs hallway, which is also carpet. And it still has more battery life left. I have a plug in shark for upstairs, since it is carpet and heavy dog hair, so I don't do more than the upstairs hallway with this most of the time. It will serve most peoples needs I'm sure, for a quick vacuum around on a daily basis. No cords, no fuss.

I have had one for three months and it cleans the entire downstairs of our home (1000 ft^2). (That is a kitchen, family room, dinning room, living room and half bath) It cleans until the battery runs down goes back to the charging station recharges itself. It then returns to where it left off and finishes. It takes a couple of hours but it does it all and it does a very good job. The only thing I have to do is empty the dirt while it recharges and when its done. My wife and I were amazed the first few times it did the floors. The surfaces for all the floors are tile with throw rugs all over the place. It even does a good job on the rugs. The only warning I would give is that it does get stuck sometimes: on electrical cords that are loose on the floor, under dining tables when the chairs are in a certain position (but only once--it cleans under the tables really well) and on my daughter's music stand (again only once--it climbed one of the legs of the stand backing up and lifted the drive wheels off the floor) It has gotten clogged and stopped twice: Once when a thumb tack got stuck in the blade of its brush and jammed against the body of the vacuum and the first time we ran it so much hair wrapped around the brush that it got stuck but both my wife and daughter have long hair and it had been several days since the rooms had been swept. It is easy to clean the brush and empty out the collection bin. Depending on how much furniture you have, it may get everything on one battery charge it gets over three-quarter of the way done before it goes back for a charge at our house.
