Roomba


Today I was thinking about how much I would love to have a Roomba. This liitle robot goes around the house vacuuming and mopping the floors for me. How sweet would that be? Ok, so I would have to buy two different ones to accomplish this, but still, this would be so nice. Now if only I could find a Roomba to do my dishes and my laundry...

Those are very cool!! If (and when) I replace my carpet with hardwoods, that is a must have.

Okay, I have had a roomba for a couple years now. At first, it was the greatest thing ever. Seriously, I thought it was the most fantastic find. And it is. But it does have a lot of technical issues. Customer service is great, covers the first year of issues. They even replaced mine just before the year was up. But that was only about 5 months ago and as I type this, my sweet little roomba is on the fritz again. Don't think I would buy again, to be honest. Sorry if I have ruined all your hopes and dreams.

Oh man, that's disappointing! But I'm glad you let me know--better to know before I buy :)

Heather said...

Oh man don't tell me that!! I'll have to talk to my friend about her's too. Maybe it's just Holly's and everybody else's in the world is fantastic. Give a girl some hope.

Everyone I know with a Roomba has issues with it. It doesn't work on carpet, so you need a lot of hard surface for it to be worth your while. I still love mine, it is just a pain to get it fixed. Most local vacuum repair place don't work on Roomba. Actually, I can't find a single one here in town. You have to ship it to the manufacturer. They are fast, but it gets expensive shipping this thing every 6 months.
