@grammyn Thank you Katy. @will_wooderson I love mine Will. I hate to vacuum and it hurts my back. I wish I had more control of where it goes, so I could do more spot vacuuming and it wouldn't take so long. Despite posting for the word quick, it's really not and before it makes it around my house it runs out of "juice" and has to go back to home and recharge. I paid some good money for it several years ago (this is 3 years old) but it has been worth every penny. It doesn't get under baseboards and furniture and sometimes corners are hit and miss. Except for one room, my house is all one level, so it's the perfect place for this gadget.
it's $299 canadian at amazon. must get one. i vacuum almost every 3 days since the pandemic started. before i vacuum once a week now i feel like i would die if i don't vacuum every other day, and if i have this, i can vacuum everyday! brilliant!
@summerfield I think you will enjoy, but don't leave it running alone. Mine is always getting stuck on a throw rug and sometimes on a threshold between two rooms. I have one piece of furniture it likes to ram itself under and can't get loose. It reminds me of a puppy sometimes. @brillomick thanks Mickey. I've heard that about the floor washer one and would have it if I could separate my tile from the hardwood a bit better. @craftymeg Thanks Margaret. @pyrrhula Thanks you Ferry. @thewatersphotos Thanks Gary. @Dawn Appreciate that comment Dawn. @jamibann I can't brag on them enough. I've had two friends buy one since I did. @kjarn If you can hang out around the house when its working, it's great. Especially when sit and have your feet up while it runs underneath. @pusspup Maybe a gift or something so he can rest up occasionally. @serendypyty I've heard of the ones that cut grass and there are some that clean swimming pools too I believe. @bkbinthecity Thanks Brian. @kwind Thanks Kim. @olivetreeann Depending on how tall your furniture is, it could go underneath. I heard two men talking about using their roombas one day. The one said he had a dog and they put the couch and chairs up on risers so they would be tall enough for the roomba to run underneath. @mcsiegle Thanks Mary.
@randystreat Found this post through the tag as I am suggesting "robot vacuum cleaner" to the podcast "Everything is Alive." We have really enjoyed our Roomba. A couple comments on your first reply-comment.
(1) Our model 630 has a "SPOT" button for spot cleaning; yours doesn't? (It runs an outward spiral from its starting point for a pre-set time.)
(2) We, too, had the problem of a drained battery before it finished the task. Then I ordered a new battery from iRobot. I think it was US$40, but wow what a difference! Rechargeable batteries do diminish in their ability to hold a charge over time.
It will do a spot cleaning, but the spot is a pretty small area. I realize that I probably don't run the vacuum frequently enough and that may not be good for it.

( You shouldn`t do that. )
