  • @royalbookshopper
    @royalbookshopper 7 років тому +1

    A roomba is more of a glorified broom. It doesn't have much suction, but it does totally replace sweeping the floor with a broom. I have four cats, indoor only, and lots of cat fur. I am totally happy with the roomba, it sweeps all my floors two or three times a week, and when I want a deeper clean, I haul out my vacuum and vacuum. With a wrecked back, the Roomba is absolutely the thing you want in your house. P.S. Hey you two in the video, both of your arguments and statements are valid, and in fact, Roombas and vacuums are apples and oranges, not really comparable at all.

    I have a Shark IQ with a self-emptying base, no bags. I bought it "like new", so I got hundreds of dollars off. Less than $300. I love the robot vacuum for the most part. Yes, it doesn't do my blinds or my ceiling or my couch, but I love how clean my floors are. They aren't as powerful as the regular vacuum, but the floors get done daily and I didn't vacuum even once a week before. Very noticeable how much cleaner my floors are. Love it.

  • @SemmyRace
    @SemmyRace 8 років тому +2

    This is pretty good!
    The problem with the room a is that it's "stupid", it just bounces around, and sometimes after half an hour there are still dusty spots in a room. It works fine in dream apartments with no objects in the way, but in real life it isn't good for rooms where there's stuff stacked or tight corners like kids bedrooms. You NEED another cleaning method if you have a roomba: it doesn't take the place of a vacuum, it's just an extra. Get a Vorwerk Folletto (or whatever it's named in your country): it's very pricey, but it's another cleaning experience

    • @vince086
      @vince086 8 років тому

      The Folletto looks like a rebranded Neato botvac, love the smart navigation and suction on those things. Only downside is the noise.

  • @XtrAMassivE
    @XtrAMassivE 8 років тому +1

    The only negative of Roomba is its price, everything else has no real competition. I had a borrowed Roomba for a while, and it's awesome. One less chore to do, and those who live alone, know how much time it takes just keeping the place clean. And it does a really good job also. Would buy it right now if I had money to spend.

    We've been using Kirby vacuums in the funeral homes for as long as I can remember. I'm going to stay with them. The disposable bags take a long time to fill and don't lose suction. I don't think a Rhoomba could do the job of picking up flower petals and normal foot traffic. I was born with a vacuum in my hand, as my parents had me cleaning and cutting grass as soon as I stopped crawling, lol.

    Okay but if I have a roomba run every other day, then I have overall cleaner floors and no need for a bigger dustbin. Plus, it saves time as you yourself don't have to vacuum yourself. But it isn't something to use all alone, it is best to pair with a stick vacuum for above-floor cleaning.

    Nowadays (2020) you can get a great “off brand” roomba for less than $250 on amazon. We have kids and having it automatically clean the entire floor very night changed our lives! As for the 2nd floor it’s not hard to just bring it up the stairs and then let it do it’s thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ although we do the second floor only once a week since it stays cleaner.

    A roomba is okay if you set it to clean once every day, they can help maintain some of the dust in the house. That being said, a normal vaccum works better because even with a roomba, it doesn't get get tight corners and at times it gets stuck under stuff all the time.

    i find it hilarious that after all these years, roombas are STILL using the really old school robot navigation technique of "bump into things a lot". it's even stranger considering roombas are still really spendy
    neato robovacs work much better since they use LIDAR to see a room and plan a route out

      This! Also the suction on the neato is incredible, it was better than my mini dyson.

    It's so entertaining watching Lauren Goode just talk to herself for 5 minutes. I don't know why.

    I bet it can do better at getting the corners because has anyone ever tried to get the corners with a vacuum it's hard because the vacuum gets in the way but the roomba look like to me it was getting more because of the spinning things that stretch out and spin so it's probably getting up more actually

    Here my opinion no matter which robot vacuum you buy you still need a regular vacuum to do some deep cleaning and other places the robot left behind

    i love my dyson. clean everything (bed, curtain,dog, etc.) including outside patio carpet /rug of dog/cat hair + bird seed mess :) wish it was lighter or came with robot to carry heavy dyson around.

    I didn’t realize it was the same person until the end when I looked at the comments...
