Would have been best to buy the device long before - this robot gives me more free time!
Great product with app connection! Cleans reliably and with the super app I can schedule and control.
Pro
- Suction power and cleanliness
- Very easy operation (APP)
- Easy maintenance
Contra
- nothing to say ....
Works great on tile and stretch carpet, easy to use, has no problems with long dog hair, corners and edges, dirt bin is small but def. not too small.
It feels great to sit comfortably on the sofa and sip coffee while vacuuming! Roomba vacuums up dust, dirt and even the hair from our two long-haired dogs on my tiles and fitted carpet floors with no problem. He also diligently vacuums the rugs on the tiles in the kitchen and bathroom as well as corners and edges and if he ever gets caught in an exposed cord, shoelace or an overdose of my own thick 80cm hair, he stops, calls and sends me a message on my mobile. Freeing him is a breeze, most objects can be pulled out quite easily, for my hair I take out the rollers and unwind them with a few simple moves - and this doesn't even happen often, as he sucks in most of them. To make life easier for him (or to make him finish faster), I put each of the 8 chairs of the dining table upright. Then I usually put shoes and cables out of reach, do a quick round with my Dyson V10 Animal (another brilliant investment) against cobwebs on the ceiling, over window sills, sofas etc., then press a single button directly on the Roomba or in the app on the mobile phone and my free time begins. Roomba works and I watch... glorious :)
Yes, it is expensive. Very much so - for me. But if I paid myself CHF 20 per hour as a cleaner and vacuumed for even 2 hours a week, it would only take me 3 months to 'pay it off'. I had also read in advance that the dirt bin was too small. True, but it's enough for normal cleaning of my 4.5 room house. I just leave it in a different room every day and load and empty in between. If I had a regular lifestyle, I could even programme all the uses... In short: I am thrilled!Pro
- Thoroughly vacuums even dog hair
- Gives me free time
- pleasant and relatively quiet noise compared to other hoovers
Contra
- Roomba only vacuums floors, for everything else you need a second hoover
Super purchase, against all the objections of my friends!
Roomba is great, I would buy again.
Pro
- It's great that I can start the robot manually or via the app.
- Works completely independently, also copes with cables.
Contra
- but very noisy, my cat is running away.
- Takes a long time to return to the station, even when given the order to return
Do not regret my purchase! It is exactly what I was looking for.
Love it! Bought for a day to day cleaning robot. Obviously do not get the idea that you will never have to vacuum again, this is designed only for a day to day cleaning and it does an amazing job at it. It is not loud, goes through doorsteps (which I researched a lot before buying it)
Pro
- You can turn it on from the app whenever you are
- Very quiet, cute, can go through wooden doorsteps without problem
- Easy to clean, very low maintenance.
Contra
- You cannot create a map of your house so sometimes it passes though some areas more than others
- Does not follow a pattern when cleaning, it randomly passes. You get OCD while watching it hahaha
Cleans super
Gets the last cat hairs out of my mother's carpets. And the dust that cleaning ladies have apparently not been able to vacuum away.
Pro
- Easy handling
- Good suction power
- Good for pet hair
Contra
- Dirt container not so big
