Everyday helpers on the one no longer wants to do without

For more than 3 weeks "lives" the Roomba 780 in our household (3-room apartment with 60m²) and is already a member of the family become :-) is the curious: one speaks praise him and is pleased that he so his work done properly and really helps noticeably.

Flashback: We live for almost 3 years in our apartment with ahornfarbenem laminate (the brightest, I know). The apartment is really great - just the laminate is driving us crazy. We make a complete home clean - suck and dusting and can already 2-3 hours later to start from scratch. One sees any lint, every crumb on this floor. Since we both work full time and now not even 2x can vacuuming the day, had to be an alternative. Since I'm a techie, I was not averse from the outset, of course, already looking to buy a vacuum cleaner robot. I began to well-read in the summer of 2013, the possibilities of a vacuum cleaner robot. A helpful side was there [...]. There I noticed the Roomba 780 on for the first time. Until the purchase, however, it was still a tough job, because even my skeptical partner stood between me and Roomba. I Belas really extensive, looked at countless videos and showed her in various electrical markets vacuum cleaner robot. In November it was time. We finished the housecleaning, and then got a visit. When these adopted in the evening, my partner looked at the floor and was visibly annoyed, because little fluff and Mutzeln were seen again anywhere. I took advantage of the opportunity and brought the Roomba 780 into play by pointing out that we could buy us the yes at Christmas. She agreed, and not even 20 minutes later, the order was placed at Amazon, after all, I was prepared ;-)

As mentioned above, I also read various customer recessions in advance where we imagine in retrospect the question of how do people make their homes clean and what a robot so everything is expected.
Clear you have time take maybe a few cables lying on the ground up, or push a chair aside. But we should take this even when vacuuming normal, or I got this wrong?
The fact is that it is and remains a robot and no cleaning lady. We see our Roomba, by my partner affectionately called "Robby", more as a helper rather than electrical Saubermacher servant.
Furthermore, I can confirm the many statements that it was only laughed at in the circle, but was added after the first live performance with absolute enthusiasm and draw some already making a purchase into consideration.

For device again per se: The build quality is top. The handling and cleaning program is compelling and brings the desired results. One can not compare with that of a man cleaning performance. Man himself begins on one side in the area and ends at the other. The Roomba in chaotic principle across the room, but remembers his lanes and crossed this several times. According to the manufacturer of the Roomba 780 60x samples per second from its surroundings. This can be done, if you observed him well and like to believe. Even through the lighthouses supplied the cleaning area can be well defined - which is also implemented useful Roomba. Many complain that it often rudely abuts furniture. Again I have to ask: how do some people clean. I would think that I'm the one or the other time, albeit unintentionally thundered with the normal vacuum cleaner powerful to the wall unit as Roomba could ever make it. However, I have to confirm that with black faces he has his problems and really unrestrained before traveling. But through his Anfahrdämpfer and impact protection he reduces this conflict to a minimum. It is broken nothing and there are no scratches or defects in the furniture determine. For cleaning and maintenance, I can only say here, the engineers of iRobot have been thinking, because by reading the supplied cleaning combs, cleaning is easy and virtually self-explanatory.

On the whole, I can only highly recommend the Roomba 780 and would buy it again at any time.
