Advantages: Cheaper than the leading brand of hoover
Disadvantages: small capacity so does require regular empyting
How amazing is technology! The first commercially designed robot is anbsolutely fantastic! This has to be my top purcahse of 2009. For one thing, the look of the thing is not only a talking point for any guests, but it is just fundamentally cool (yes I am a bit of a geek!). The Roomba is futuristic & sleek in design, easy funtionality and compact.
It's fascinating to watch and very easy to use and maintain. To clean one room takes about 25 minutes, so not the fastest worker. But if it means you can pop to the shops or go out to the pub while it does the housework for you, who's complaining?! It has a good function where it detects "dirt hotspots" and spends more time focussing on the dirtier areas.
I have wood flooring throughout my house so it's ideal, not sure how it would cope with all carpet cleaning. One thing that has got it stumped is hoovering my lounge rug. It gets to the edge of the carpet & must think it's a wall cos it just goes round it.
My Roomba, Marvin, can hold a small amount of dirt so does require emptying after each use.
Summary: A must have for people who are too busy to clean!

I should point out that whilst the previous member has requested info on your experience, you don't have to update your review.
Adding info isn't compulsory. However I would agree to some of the points here that jennikitten has mentioned. Dooyoo is a product website that needs a lot more info from owners of products/services experienced and owned.

- 08/07/09 It's not too clear from your review it's a hoover, especially for skim readers. Also - what's it like with corners Do you have to empty it - if so, how often? Does it take bags or any special equipment? Can you get attachments for it? Is it dangerous near the top of the stairs? How noisy is it? What size room did it take 25 mins to clean, and how dirty was it? Is it safe near pets? Would you worry about it knocking or marking your furniture? Is there a reason why it's round rather than square? What kind of options are there? Can you programme it? Does it actually work well enough to leave alone or does it need watching? Does it have a warranty or guarantee? Does it polish or clean as well as hoover? |
