ROOMBA LOVERS have you heard....?

[NotanOtterOHappyDay]

It's arrived

Now, I was just about ready to buy a Roomba but have just looked at your

Sorry about that!!

Was set to buy the Roomba but have just read that Scooba "Preps - picks up dirt, sand and crumbs" does this mean that you don't need a Roomba with it?

No squiffy i think Roomba should be defunct for wooden floors with scoobs to 'prep' them!!

I know had an email today! [excited saddo emoticon] But don't you mean Roomba should go round first then Scooba mops afterwards or have I got that wrong?

i dont think so but i may be wrong...timed nicely for xmas dont you think!

Well I hope it's buckets are bigger than Roomba's as mine is always full of dog hair. Can't imagine there's enough room in one to have enough water as well to wash the floor.

Right who's going to go first and buy one and report back?

I wish i could say me!

so do roomba's really work? how often do you have to empty them, do they pick up pet hairs, are they as good as a normal vacumn, how often do they go round?

drool

They really work, about every third time of use, yes, dunno???

Any idea on someone who could service/fix poorly Roombas?

we empty our after most uses

so every 3rd time of use is what - weekly?What about electricity use?

oh dear, I am going to get sucked in.

i empty him daily

electric dp says not much...

Can't use it on laminate then? It says sealed wood floors? No good for me then.........I really WANT one.

I need to find out if the Scooba on it's own is enough, if so, I'll be the tester!! I can justify one but not both (excited now!)

Port and Lemon, the Roomba service people I know of are Domotec - you get their details with the Roomba. Mine has had to go back to be fixed twice within 9 months but they returned it within a couple of days. If you need the details let me know and I'll find them out.

Squiffy - go on then and let us know!

I want one but can't afford it! (sad)

Would love details -- got mine v early via some random company and don't think I got details, but then it stopped working and hot lemon drinks don't seem to be cutting the mustard...

Website is Domotec.co.uk. Servicing department details under "Contact Us". Just tried to link but failed miserably. Must work on linkage!
