Product Description: Leave the cleaning to a robot with this convenient machine. Its 14.4-volt rechargeable Ni-MH battery provides the power needed to clean hard floors, shop carpets, garage and basement areas, as well as industrial-floor surfaces. In addition, specially designed counter-rotating brushes spin almost 1,000 times per minute, sweeping up dirt and debris that cling to rough surfaces. Simply press the "clean" button and the unit sweeps under workbenches, cars, and other hard-to-reach places, picking up nuts, bolts, dirt, and more. For added convenience, "cliff" sensors keep it from falling down stairs or other vertical drops. The unit offers an oversized, bagless, easy-to-empty debris bin, and its power supply fully charges in seven hours. Accessories include a standard battery, a standard charger, a cleaning tool, and an owner's guide. The cleaning machine measures approximately 13 by 13 by 4 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Rating: - a disappointment
I bought a Dirt Dog to clean a large studio area (roughly 2,800 sqft) that is largely open space. I bought the home/dock device too.
Two things emerge: if the device doesn't hit a boundary after an, unspecified period of time it 'guesses' it's stuck and simply stops and beeps. Secondly, I'm disappointed that the Dirt Dog doesn't resume cleaning after recharging its battery. The home/dock is of little actual utility, other than the device returns to recharge itself instead of simply stopping in a discharged state. It's a cute but expensive accessory.

iRobot 1100 Dirt Dog Workshop Robot
I use the iRobot Dirt Dog every Saturday in my house! I bought it because I thought our house might have more traffic than the average and I wanted something that would be more durable. And it is!
We are really impressed with how much "stuff" it picks up. It has a large tray to hold the dust, hair, and other "stuff" it sweeps up. If you have a great amount of hair, I would recommend you invest in one of the iRobot Pet Cleaning models; they have rollers that don't wind the hair up.

Rating: - Cleans my carpets and floors, inside and outside
I have 5 kids and a 4000 sq ft house -- lots of laundry and housekeeping! Since I work part time, I was at the point of deciding to hire a maid to come twice a month, but I really didn't want to spend the money. I thought if I could just get something to help me with one of the major tasks, I'd be okay. It'd be better to spend a couple hundred dollars on iRobots, than to pay for someone else to do the floors only every two weeks.
After checking the Amazon reviews, I purchased a refurbished Scooba (mop) and was so happy with its performance that I decided to purchase the Dirt Dog, too. ... Read More

Dirt Dog does it all. Garage, kitchen, hallway, living room with short plush carpet. I am impressed.
Rating: - Impressive...
I've used it about a month - off and on.
I got it to clean the dog hair from the wood floors in the kitchen/dining room/hall/bathroom.
It seems to do a remarkably good job picking up stuff. My only complaint is that there are so many things on the floor (kitchen table and chairs, dining room table and chairs) that it spends a lot of time working around the edges there - and as such the battery doesn't last as long as I'd like it to.
