Irobot Roomba Silver Is A Household Hit
The iRobot Roomba Silver is the single best purchase I have made for our household lately. At first, I have to admit that I was a little bit skeptical about this very small vacuum being able to do a good job picking up pet hair and other dirt in my home. After just a few cleaning passes, the iRobot Roomba Silver proved me wrong.
In our household, we have two dogs with white hair. They both shed a ton and keeping up with the cleaning can be a real chore. Our previous vacuum had to make several passes over an area to even do a decent job of picking up the pet hair. The iRobot Roomba Silver, on the other hand, has little brushes underneath that seem to pick up the pet hair easily. And the dogs have gotten used to seeing it zoom around on the floor. They watch it go by, so it provides a bit of entertainment for them, I think.
I think the thing I like best about this vacuum is that I can arrange for it to clean when I'm actually out of the house. I leave for my job realizing that when I return, Roomba will have finished vacuuming and cleaning my floors. It's a real time-saver and spirit-lifter knowing I'm coming home from a tiring day on the job to a clean floor.
As I initially powered it up and switched it on, the Roomba navigated about the room figuring out its configuration. From that point on, the only thing I need to do is adjust the cleaning timetable setting and let the iRobot Roomba Silver take it from there. Another bonus is it's so tiny that it's able to maneuver beneath tables and furniture I used to need to move.
Right now, there are several different generations of these vacuuming miracles available to try. The iRobot Roomba 410 is capable of cleaning two rooms on a single charge. If the battery gets low or when the cleaning is complete, the Roomba just simply finds its way back to its charger. The one I really want to get next is the iRobot Roomba 560. You can schedule up to seven different cleaning times for the week and the 560 will clean up to four rooms without needing to be charged again.
Generally, I must state that the iRobot Roomba Silver is a wonderful investment. Occasionally when I use a standard vacuum, my lower back starts to ache, but I don't have this problem when I use the Roomba. The Roomba tidies up my hard floors and carpet, with only the push of a button. I adore it!
The iRobot Roomba Silver is a great buy. I was skeptical at first but it proved me wrong. It picked up dirt and pet hair in my home. The dogs just had to get used to watching it zip around the house. It can even be scheduled to clean when I'm not at home. It cleans the floors well. It navigates and learns the rooms. The iRobot Roomba 410 can clean on a single charge, while the iRobot Roomba 560 can clean up to four rooms due to a larger battery.
