Tools and Hardware Reviews of iRobot Roomba Intelligent Floorvac Robotic Vacuum

Customer Review: *****HOORAY for the ROOMBA!!!!!*****
Summary: 5 Stars

I LOVE my little Roomba! I have had it for a little over a week & have used it every single day. I'm a working student so I can use all the extra time I can get... & my floors have never been so clean! It does take a while to charge, however there is usually at least 12 hours in between each of my cleanings, so as long as I remember to plug it in after every use- it works well for me. I have a smaller two bedroom house & I open all the doors to each room before letting the Roomba loose to roam about the house freely. One single charge of the battery usually lasts about 2 hours (I have low pile carpeting:) & in that two hours, my entire house (even the bathroom & kitchen tile!) gets clean. There is a step from my kitchen to my laundry room & the little Roomba does a great job of not falling off the ledge & hurting itself. It also fits under dressers, beds, end tables, couches & in between chair legs with out any crazy attatchments-hooray! Another slight flaw is the waste tray being a bit small- I have a hairy himalayan cat & a never ending shedding dog & it seems I have to empty the tray every day after use- a small price to pay for hairless floors! This would be especially great for smaller homes or apartments as the Roomba can clean most if not all of the home in one shot. Larger homes may need to invest in a second battery. Definitely worth the extra cash for this vacuum- how much would you pay for extra time?

Description of iRobot Roomba Intelligent Floorvac Robotic Vacuum

Early Adopters Pick: March 2003. The first automatic vacuum available in the U.S.; introduced by iRobot, pioneers of artificial intelligence.

Roomba, the first automatic vacuum available in the U.S., is an intelligent vacuum that uses robotic technology to deliver both clean floors and personal time. Roomba uses artificial intelligence algorithms to clean efficiently and was introduced by iRobot, pioneers in artificial intelligence who have built numerous products for the U.S. Department of Defense, the U.S. military, and toy and energy companies. Thirteen inches in diameter and lighter than your average bowling ball, this innovative vacuum roams the room devouring dust, dirt, and tidbits left behind from everyday living.

Setting up your Roomba for its first sashay through the living room is fairly easy. You'll want to move any clothing, papers, cords, and fragile items off the floor before you start. You may choose to set up the Virtual Wall unit, which emits a beam to redirect the Roomba, keeping it out of unwanted areas. Make sure the rechargeable battery is fired up by checking the indicator light, set the Roomba in the center of the room, and press the corresponding button for a small (10 by 12 feet), medium (14 by 16 feet), or large (15 by 20 feet) room. When Roomba starts cleaning, it travels around the floor in a spiral pattern. When its bumper touches a wall, Roomba follows the wall for a short time, utilizing its spinning side brush to move objects away from the wall and into the vacuum's path. Then Roomba crosses the room in straight lines. It repeats this pattern until its cleaning time has elapsed, providing maximum cleaning coverage.

Although it may look more like a Frisbee than a vacuum, the Roomba cleans carpet, wood, linoleum, and tile, and comes with many of the usual vacuum accoutrements. The agitator brush roll picks up large debris, sucking it into the removable particle bin with filter. An edge-cleaning brush helps get into corners and angular areas. All the brushes and compartments can be removed for regular cleaning maintenance, and the unit comes with two replacement filters. Additional Virtual Wall units, battery packs, and a rapid charger can be purchased separately. The Roomba is covered by a 90-day parts and labor warranty. --Rhonda Langdon
