The Self-picker Upper: iRobot Roomba

Buying the IRobot Roomba Silver was the best decision that I recently made in getting something for our home. I was considerably doubtful that this tiny room cleaner would perform well, but it sucked up dirt and animal hair all around the house. I was convinced after only seeing the iRobot Roomba Silver make a few passes over my floors.

In our home, we have two white haired dogs. Both dogs lose a lot of hair and maintaining a clean home can be really hard work. The vacuum we had before had to go over the area a few times to do an adequate job of cleaning up the pet hair. However, the iRobot Roomba Silver, has tiny brushes under the bottom that appear to have an easy time cleaning up the pet hair. Also my dogs are accustomed to watching it roll around the floor. They look at it as it passes by, so it gives them a little entertainment, I believe.

Probably my favorite feature of the vacuum is that I can schedule cleaning times for when I am not even home. I go to work knowing that by the time I get home, my Roomba will have already vacuumed and cleaned the floors for me. It saves me so much time and it feels so good to come home after a long day at work and have clean floors.

The Roomba rolled its way around the room learning the parameters once I charged it and turned it on. Once that is done, all I need to do is to set the cleaning schedule and time and the iRobot Roomba Silver knows just where to go and what to do. I used to have to move tables and other things before, but this is so small that it can get underneath all of those places making it so easy for me.

Right now, there are several different generations of these vacuuming miracles available to try. The iRobot Roomba 410 is capable of cleaning two rooms on a single charge. If the battery gets low or when the cleaning is complete, the Roomba just simply finds its way back to its charger. The one I really want to get next is the iRobot Roomba 560. You can schedule up to seven different cleaning times for the week and the 560 will clean up to four rooms without needing to be charged again.

Generally, I must state that the iRobot Roomba Silver is a wonderful investment. Occasionally when I use a standard vacuum, my lower back starts to ache, but I don’t have this problem when I use the Roomba. The Roomba tidies up my hard floors and carpet, with only the push of a button. I adore it!
