momacacia Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 (edited) I tried a Roomba a few years ago wasn't impressed. Anyone have the new ones? With High-efficiency cleaning, room mapping, phone app control? Which one do you have? What do you love about it? (Do I need this in my life, or do I just need to train my kids better? :rolleyes:) Edited October 20, 2017 by momacacia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StephanieZ Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 I have an 800 series one. I love, love it. The new style all-rubber beater bars don't collect hair like the old style ones. I LOVE it. I have a ridiculously large house, so I don't really get hung up on if it makes it back to its base or whatever -- I just relocate it as needed. I just love that it vacuums for me. The only caveat is keeping stuff off the floor that might get it tangled up or jammed up -- earbuds, socks, random pieces of paper, etc. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jenn in FL Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 So Steph... In a larger space, how exactly does it work? Do you HAVE to program it? Can you just let it loose and will it just bop around happily all on its own? We have multiple indoor cats with tile and hardwood surfaces downstairs, so my mantra would be "Just.Start.Vacuuming.Somewhere!" :closedeyes: How steep is the learning curve to operate it? :lol: I am starting to judiciously guard my few remaining brain cells... Will it just run and run until it runs out of juice? How long does it take to recharge? Any insight is appreciated. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 We have the 700 so a little older but Bought I would chime in. Our roomba ran until it literally wore out its little wheels. It was running on just the plastic rims. DH recently order new wheels for Roomba and he is back in business! He does a fabulous job cleaning up dog hair from our two fluffy and heavy-shedding dogs. We’ve traced the battery once as well as those do wear out. We have the little boxes that sit in doorways to keep roomba out of the bathrooms and they work well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
momacacia Posted October 20, 2017 Author Share Posted October 20, 2017 So how often do you guys run yours? Daily? Every night? Just a couple times a week? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK_Mom4 Posted October 20, 2017 Share Posted October 20, 2017 Mine runs every night. And sometimes during the day during shedding season when my carpet is white with dog hair all the time. It runs around 3am so it doesn’t bother anyone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
