Roomba !

[LivingThings]

Please tell me if these work as i desperately want one!

Thanks

[Snowgirl1]

I want one too - there must be someone out there with one?

[NotEnoughJamOnTheBread]

I've got one and I blaaaardy well love it! Wouldn't be without one now. Its programmed to start 5 minutes after we've all left for the school run and goes back to its charging base when its low on battery. It never fails to amaze me how much crap it picks up.

It is the mumsnet law that any roomba threads must link to

No idea that this was a robot, but tomorrow I'm going to Roomba my way cleaning around the house; misinterpreted this as an adaptation of Zumba. Probably as I'm watching Obsessive Cleaners again!

[LivingThings]

Ooh DH is obviously sick of listening to me talking about Roombas and has ordered me one!!! Should be here by weekend - super excited!!! (love DH!!)

[TheSlug]

Love that video!! Never heard of a Roomba before but now I NEED ONE

[TheSlug]

ah, just looked them up. Think I'll stick to making DH do the hoovering instead!

[Snowgirl1]

Livingthings don't forget to come back and tell us what you think!

Well i have had 'Eric' for four days nowvand my carpets have never looked so good for so long. I can see i will still have to get the Dyson out ocaisionally (and for stairs) but he is fab so far. My carpets are clean throughout and i havent touched a conventional hoover at all over the weekend. I am amazed (and slightly disgusted!) by the amount of stuff he is getting up off the carpet each time. So far i would definitely recommend!

[TheEasterQODdy]

Love ROooobert my roomba

[Cuntibobs]

If there was a fire, I would rescue my family first, and then my roomba. It's that good. [busmile]

[Bramblesinafield]

Which version would you recommend?

[QOD]

Whatever you an afford, I have a more basic model and a modern one. The basic one is still going, on its3rd battery about 5 yrs down the line

[putyourhatonsweetie]

are hey any good on wooden floors? we live near the beach so would love something that saves me sweeing every single night...

[putyourhatonsweetie]

sweeping

I love my Roomba!!! I've had him for 3.5 years and he's still going strong. Sometimes plays up a bit (anyone else get the clicking noise?) but still works well.

I have the very basic model but have thought about getting the one with the timer.... Maybe once ours stops working?

[Titsalinabumsquash]

Brian is a part of our family, I wouldn't be without him. :)

[Melissakitkat]

For wooden floors get the scooba! It hoovers then washes the floors - it's fab! I have a roomba upstairs (carpets) and scooba downstairs for wooden, tiles floors. Xxx love em.

[putyourhatonsweetie]

ooooh scooba...just looked it up. any more views anyone?

[pinkyponk67]

Just got my roomba today and loving it so far!

[pinkyponk67]

Ps it has occurred to me that I can't leave it on when I go out as it will trigger the burglar alarm. Anyone found a way round this?

[QOD]

Will it? Are the sensors aimed low? I have mine on downstairs when I'm doing upstairs bath etc so you can do that

[DorcasDelIcatessen]

Yikes. Had no idea they were so expensive. I really want one!
