I-Vacuum
Yep, the Roomba IS indeed a great thing.
However, people should be aware that when you use a Roomba there ARE 2 things you still need to do yourself (apart from turning it on) :
- You need to prepare the room somwhat, meaning you probably will need to move shoes and such out of the way. Arguably this is something you may not needed to do before the Roomba because you would just push items aside as you went ;-)
- The Roomba needs maintenance after every (big) vacuuming job. With maintenance I mean : the cleaning brushes need to be taken out and 'cleaned'. It's not a big job (takes aporimately 3 minutes or so) and the Roomba is build in such a way that it makes this maintenance easy (no screw-drivers or other tools involved)
One of the extreme pro's of the Roomba lies in the wonderful fact that brushes and wheels and generally everything that could break can be ordered online AND for a reasonable price !
We've had our Roomba for 2 months now and frankly, we couldn't live without anymore
