Really Works! Works Well! A true time saver.
Let me start off by saying that I’m a cleaner. I have two hairy dogs, a four year old and allergies to dust, so I’m constantly cleaning. My Dyson vacuum quite literally stays plugged in all the time. I like a deep down clean. I had seen the Roomba for years and thought it wasn’t for me.
Well, while researching the Scooba (also a fabulous machine) I decided to go ahead and get a Roomba if only for my kitchen floor. My dogs stay primarily in the kitchen and there’s always a ton of hair in there. I have to vacuum every day. I thought I’d just give the Roomba a try. I figured it would clog up with hair in 5 minutes and die, but it didn’t. I have a 200 square foot kitchen and the thing cleaned and cleaned until I finally it needed the filter cleaned out (about 45 minutes later) I can’t blame it, there was two days worth of dog hair on the floor. If it can handle that, it can handle anything.
Next, I set it loose (on the same charge, no less) on the upstairs carpet which is approximately 800 square feet. It cleaned the living room, bathrooms, hall, bedroom and even under the bed! I was quite impressed. It never got stuck. I followed it around to make sure it didn’t have any problems and it never did. It went over area rugs, thresholds, & bathmats.
I think some people get confused and think that the Roomba is a like a vacuum and then they get disappointed. It’s a more of a sweeper. It will get surface dust, hair, crumbs and debris. If you want a deep down vacuum you’ll have to pull out your old upright. But if you want a daily sweep up this is the gadget for you.
With that being said, I have to give Roomba props for it’s level of cleaning. I have 5 year old carpet, it’s the low grade stuff the builders install, and Roomba still does a nice job combing the carpet. I can see where Roomba has been because it leaves those nice little brush marks we compulsive cleaners love. Although I’m sure that will vary depending on your carpet.
I can’t vouch for Roomba’s longevity since I’ve only had it one day. It does seem to move more freely on hard floors than carpet. I don’t know if carpeting puts more strain on the motor or not. That could be a factor in longevity. But for now I’d have to say that this little gadget is a time saver and worth 5 stars. It does what it is designed to do and it does it rather well.
The only thing I would recommend is that you get the one that returns to the base charger when it’s battery is low. That is a nice convenience. That way you’ll always have your Roomba ready to use.
Definately worth the money. A true time and labor saver. Now, maybe I’ll have time to work on my messy garage.
Hope this helped you make your decision.
Works well except for a few flaws
I just got this Roomba a few days ago and I have found some really good points and a few bad points. For me, the good points outweigh the bad b/c my house really is much cleaner with very little effort. But if you’re a perfectionist, this may not be the best thing for you.
Good Points:
1. Super easy to use - just plop it down and off it goes.
2. Cleans well - I have a dog and I hate vacuuming so the Roomba is a huge help. It does better on hard floor than carpet, though.
3. Spot cleans - nifty little feature where you can tell it to just clean a small area and it will spiral around a few times.
Bad Points:
1. Other electronics can interfere with its operation. The Roomba works like a dream in every room except my living room, where it basically acts like it’s gone completely haywire! It spins in a circle for 40 minutes, plows right through the virtual walls, and climbs up my TV (and gets stuck) instead of just turning around. I think it’s because I have a wireless router in that room.
2. A lot of hair or carpet fuzz can be difficult to clean out of the brush, and you have to keep the brushes clean all the time, but they do give you a special tool to help with this.
3. It can get stuck on wires or oddly shaped furniture/obstacles so if you turn it on and leave, it may get stuck within 5 minutes and never clean the room. I usually turn mine on when I’m puttering around the house with other things.
A good little robot
The rumba is a great little device; the only thing that people should be aware of is the fact that it takes about 5 times as long as it would take a normal person to clean 1 room. As long as you are patient and don’t try and wait for one speck of dust on the floor to be sucked up by roomba (this will drive you nuts) you will be a roomba lover as well. An added benefit is that it will really vacuum under things that you wouldn’t bother to like beds and small tables. On average I would say that roomba vacuums about as well as the average person. Worth the money if you aren’t a fan of housework.
