Why upgrade?
I am well pleased with the Roomba except for the battery life. I've had two Roombas, and the batteries only last about a year before they must be replaced. Other than that, I have no complaints.
I got my Roomba Thursday, charged it overnight, and cleaned my entire 3 floor house Friday with it. You need to charge it between. I does 3 rooms and then charges. I was able to take my shower, clean closets, etc. while it swept. I cleaned under dressers, beds, and the kitchen cabinets which have a ledge over the mopboard. It got hung up between my dishwasher and a register under it. I just take the register out now. It also got tangled in a thin bed skirt that I now pull up on the bed.
I have a 2 year old who is scared to death of the vacuum and with him, a cat and a dog this is the best thing! We lovingly named her "Rosie." It takes her a good hour to vacuum the entire house and yes when she is done she needs her brushes cleaned, but who wouldn’t after all of the pet hair and goldfish crackers she has picked up? Best of all it’s much quieter than a big vacuum and doesn’t scare the kid.
I've had this for a few weeks now and am impressed. With three kids, two dogs and a cat something always needs vacuuming. My house is sort of a trial by fire every day, and it's held up well so far. I have had to rescue it after it got caught up on the leg of a chair, but it's a wierd chair and the designers couldn't plan for everything. It holds a surprising amount of dirt and cleans a lot before needing a re-charge.
my little roomba ROCKS!! we live in san diego & have 3 indoor/outdoor dogs & hardwood floors & tile. "agador" as we have named him, picks up all the beach sand, dog hair & dust bunnies that end up on our floors. our 1st 'agador' had a glitch & we returned it ...no problems. totally worth the $$$ & we were able to use flex pay!!!
