What Fun!,
In a newly remodeled house with laminate wood floors, I see a lot of dust everyday; Roomba 770 has been a good fit. What I’ve noticed after three weeks of daily use – the pros:
– Roomba does a great job in empty rooms; the entire downstairs comes out dust free.
– Works well under beds, chairs, wide tables, and kitchen cabinet toekick.
– Has great sensors for walls, boxes, pillows, and goes beautifully over heavy rugs back onto hardwood.
– Roomba didn’t like the fringe on my oriental carpets, but it didn’t choke on it like my big vacuum did and kept on going.
– The electronic barriers work well, but there is a learning curve on how to place them properly (The signal is cone-shaped). These need 2 “C” batteries each (4 total, not included).
– It is not difficult to maintain: emptying the dust collection, removing brushes and using brush cleaner, wiping off sensors, moving it to a new room.
The cons:
– need to watch Roomba do a room before you turn it loose unobserved; you simply don’t know what works and what doesn’t until you try it.
– There is no owner’s manual – you have to watch the DVD or go online to learn to use it.
– Roomba got stuck its first time near the stairs (it had too much momentum and shot over the top) but does fine once it slowed down and approached it a second time.
– Roomba gets stuck everytime on cables and cords; have to move these up or tape them down
– Roomba gets stuck on bathmats (but so does my big vac)
– Roomba consistently gets stuck under an end table whose legs are too close for passage – it seems obsessed with this table and goes back even after rescue. A pillow, book, or cardboard in front of the table solves this.
– Roomba’s HEPA filters clog up really fast due to their location in the dirt collection cavity. Need 2 new filters every week with the amount of dust swept up.
Overall, I love this little guy. He’s fun to watch and and does a much better job than I do sweeping by hand. But he does require hands-on cleaning maintenance everytime you use Roomba. Performance goes down dramatically if you don’t prepare the room, clearing obstacles like cords, set-up electronic and physical barriers, and do the required maintenance when he’s done. Highly recommended.
