I bought this sleek little red vaccuum about 2 years ago. It has lasted and does a good job on automatically cleaning the carpets between use of the big vacuum. PROS: It is easy to turn on and you just let it do it's own thing to pick up the surface dirt on the carpet. It starts off doing a very tight circle then starts roving in a random pattern that cleans the whole room on one charge and covers the whole room well. It is also pretty easy to empty once it has cleaned the room. It is easy to charge up but does need to remain plugged in prior to use, or it does lose its charge. CONS: Before you run this vacuum it does require that most items be picked up... so if the kids toys are laying around and it is bumping into them, it will get stuck a lot and not find it's way around the whole room. Because it is round it doesn't really get into the corners very well. Every once in a while it does get stuck in some closely spaced legs of the furniture or furniture with a low clearance. (But on a the whole it goes on it's own and cleans the whole room on one charge.) On the whole it gets plenty of use and is a useful tool in keeping the house clean. Best of all, we can bring it out to entertain Roomba-less house guests.Read full review
The iRobot is easy to use and efficient. I loathe vacuuming, so to have the iRobot do it for me is great. Pros: It navigates well through the different rooms, doesn't seem to get stuck, goes on and off carpet, under tables, etc. It cleans both floor & carpet well. It's easy to use. It's easy to clean. It stores out of the way when not in use. Since it runs every couple days, it keeps the house pretty clean (I have a dog, we often come inside muddy). Cons: It doesn't do as well with the edges of the room, in corners, or where there are lots of objects (like under the table around the legs.) However, it's easy enough to brush up those patches. It's small, so it needs to get emptied/cleaned frequently. Overall, I'm happy with it. I'd buy it again, & recommend it to others.
The Roomba Red is a 4000 Series iRobot Vacuum. These devices are really pretty amazing at what they do. As a Caution do not expect this to completely replace your current vacuum at home. This is an intelligent little robot that travels around your room sweeping the floor for you. Although it may not make since to you the pattern that roomba uses to get the floors clean they end up doing it. It will take longer than vacuuming yourself but in the end you are having to do it. I have purchased 2 of these and love them both as I now let them sweep on a daily (or nightly) basis. Nice thing is that they do a pretty good job of cleaning the floor. Its not perfect but used as a device for in between cleaning of the house it can keep the floors looking nice and extend the time between when you have to pull out the clunker of a vacuum you used to use.Read full review
The iRobot is a great invention. Initially, I was skeptical that a small robotic vacuum would be effective. But, now I am a huge fan. I can now vacuum my home every morning, while I get ready for work. The flooring in my home is hardwood and berber carpeting, so I don't know how the iRobot would do with a taller shag-type carpet. But for me, it's great. I have several pets, and the daily vacuuming really makes a difference in keeping my home clean. The vacuum is short enough to go underneath my bed and sofa, so I don't have to move them anymore when I vacuum. The iRobot is also a great gift idea for elderly and/or partially physically challenged people. As long as they can pick up the vacuum off the floor to empty out the dirt chamber and attach it to the charger, they won't have any trouble using the iRobot. Love it, love it, love it.Read full review
I bought this to give me more time and make me a better housekeeper. That is what it does. While this handy little machine runs around vacuuming, I can do something else. I have three different floor surfaces: wood, ceramic tile and carpet. The carpet in the house is in three different varieties. No problem. It has several automatic settings that it self adjusts to when changing floor surfaces. It is very powerful for its size. I also bought the charging dock. So when the battery gets low enough, it goes back home to charge itself. Ideally, for me, it would send itself back out when it is recharged ; ) Emptying the compartment or changing the filter is a breeze. One button push and you're there! I recommend mine to everyone!
