The iRobot Roomba: Better Than a Maid
Imagine that you are sitting in your comfortable chair with a cup of coffee and a good book while your floors are being cleaned. No, you don’t have a maid; you have something even better. You are the proud owner of the iRobot Roomba vacuum cleaner.
It sounds like something out of a science fiction movie, but it is real and is used in many homes. There are many attractive features with the Roomba to make it so popular. It is more than just the fact that it can do the work while you sit and watch. Read this article and you'll see why we felt this device worth of its own Roomba review website.
One of the best features with the Roomba is the fact that it adjusts to any type of floor. It cleans carpet, wood, tile, stone, and linoleum. Its sensors can detect a half-inch change in the flooring and adjusts up or down accordingly.
One reason the Roomba is so popular with its owners is its ability to get where human and other vacuum cleaners cannot go. Because it stands only three and a half inches high, it can get under most surfaces. It also has a side brush to clean up against walls and in corners. It can clean almost every single inch of your home.
If that’s not reason to run out and buy one, there are more features to love. The Roomba can be set to clean even when you are not home. When it is done with its job, it will even put itself on the charger. It can clean continuously for two hours; after three hours on the charger, it is ready to go again.
The Roomba is able to recognize areas that are dirtier than others, and it spends more time there. It has sensors that can detect stairs to keep from dropping off the edge. It also avoids furniture and walls because of its sensors. The one job it needs human help with is picking up small objects such as toys or clothing. If it runs into them, it can get stuck.
If you want to limit your Roomba to a certain area, you can create a virtual wall. Otherwise, it will use its sensors to detect the size of the room.
Because the Roomba does not have a bag, you will have to empty the dust bin when it gets full. It doesn’t know when it needs to be emptied so it will just keep going. You can usually get one room vacuumed before emptying the bin; this will depend on how dirty the floor was.
The Roomba has about the same amount of suction as an average upright vacuum cleaner. It cleans most floors and carpets satisfactorily, but it will not work well with deep-pile carpets.
The Roomba takes cleaning floors out of your hands. You don’t even have to be at home for it to work; you can leave for work, knowing your floors will be clean when you get home. It can be just like your housekeeper except you don’t have to pay for it. Sit back with a good book and watch your floors get clean.
