Roomba, excellent!
In several ways a better design than the former models; cleaner, stronger, quieter.
By the way, the package "Roomba 580" at Amazon can be different from the package at iRobot.

Roomba 580
Performs as advertised. I use it every day (scheduled) and sometimes another time after recharging. Seems to do a good job. I clean the waste hopper and around the brushes after each session and make sure to clean the edge sensors, as well. It finds its way back to the charging station most sessions, and is usually charged back up by the time I get home from work. It is good at not bumping into white walls (when the lights are on) but bumps a little firmly into dark objects/surfaces. Not a problem, yet. Noise is moderate, but not a problem as most cleaning is done when I am not there. My cat is pretty much used to it now. I got the free accessory kit without having to ask or pay.

Amazing.
The Roomba 580 is well worth the extra bucks. The lighthouse capability for the Roomba to travel through a series of rooms and then back to the home station is the plus that makes the Roomba worth it, to me. Instead of moving it room to room on your own, you press start and get multiple rooms vacuumed with no oversight on your part. For anyone with kids or pets, this is a must-have. Don't be discouraged the first few times you run the Roomba, as it learns from all its mistakes and typically does not repeat them as it learns the shape of your rooms and where obstacles might be.
