Customer Review

RUMS! That's the sound that made me flinch again when the Roomba thundered full tilt against an obstacle. A few obstacles it will stop from good, but others he takes full. I now first front abgetaped him with two strips of foam rubber and hope so that the wear on the furniture to minimize.

To Setup: household with two adults, two children and a dreary hangover. Living room, hall and kitchen are tiled. Carpets and we did not. But my wife has set up various knick-knacks. Task for the Roomba: Daily intermediate cleaning.

What can he well?
- Free from clutter
- Despite strange paths it covers but somehow the entire area from
- Comes better in the corners, as if I had previously suspected

What can he reasonably well?
- Sometimes he gets tangled up in the floor-length drapes and torments himself because only tedious back out. That will not be good for the curtains in the long run
- Under the table disturb him the 20 chair legs noticeably, but he does not give up
- It comes only at two lateral positions under our bed and tinkers a while to get out again

What can it not good?
- He does not stop in front of all obstacles from
- Sometimes the brush throws something away outwards, rather than to push it under the sucker
- It is relatively loud and annoying (watch TV or eat the way does not work)
- As he blows out backwards, he verbläst when turning like the cat hair
- It is running on the Ikea chair Poäng fixed (we tilt now always before)
- In the stairwell he sometimes overlooked the end of the base plate (no crash, but it hangs and then calling for help because I will need to install a higher bar.)
- The piano lacquer surface is a dirt magnet. When he is on his charging station after work, he looks dingy.
- He also had several scratches after the first missions. Robust Device surfaces are something else

Conclusion after the first few days: yes, practically, but you have to defuse some "traps", because otherwise he gets stuck at work and calls for help.
