Roomba & Scooba www.irobot.com Review

The Roomba and Scooba vacuum and mop do the hard work so you can relax. Both devices work flawlessly with minimal setup and upkeep. I used them for almost six months and have not noticed any defects, flaws or breakdowns. They are small enough to fit under most furniture and into most nooks and crannies. Sensors allow them to navigate the room avoiding stairs and other hazards. For the Roomba an ingenious brush system cleans along walls, scoops up larger debris, and sucks in dust and particles. Since I'm not actually vacuuming or mopping I tend to use them more regularly than I did my conventional appliances.



While petite they are actually quite rugged. Don't let their looks fool you. Doorways can fool the little guys, but one can set up electronic "walls" at doorways to keep them on track.



I've disliked vacuuming and mopping since I was child. Though I missed the advent of washers and dryers. I can still imagine the leap forward beyond the drudgery of hand washing. In a similar vein, no cleaning innovation in my lifetime has had such an impact on my life as these iRobot products. They vacuum, sweep, and mop better than I ever could, and they save me time, effort and my back. They are one of the few products I've used that perform as advertised. Worth every penny.
