meaningful assistance if you prefer to a largely clean than a dusty apartment

I let the Roomba 770 for a year go by my apartment and am generally satisfied with the device. He needs due to its chaotic approach Although quite a long time for a room, but it does not matter because I can usually ride him with Timer, when we are at work. Wherever he goes structurally related, he gets open spaces good clean. In corners, narrow slots or under low furniture of course he does not, so the result is not 100% perfect. If someone pays meticulous attention to cleanliness, the robotic vacuum cleaner is not for him. Since only very rarely with us is used due to our tight schedule of regular dust Sager, however, the device is a great improvement compared to previously.

However, I can not award 5 stars because the device also has a few weak points:

The brush must be but quite frequently cleaned, which takes time. Three more driving (with me so every week) you should make it, after 5-6 times, it is urgently needed, because otherwise considerably waning cleaning performance. The whole is a rather tedious and time-consuming affair (so need about 7 minutes until they are clean), which reduces the time saving automatic cleaning. In addition, to get directly in contact with the dust, which is not so great for a device that is intended to be suitable for people with allergies. I myself would in future pay attention when buying urgently sure to buy a device in which this cleaning is not necessary, or at least rarely.

Then the Roomba gets caught but often at rumhängenden mobile charging cables in practice depends on Poäng chair firmly, tangled in the bath mat or closes in a room. Then the cleaning is not logically complete. The bit annoying because you realistically can not manage to make his apartment completely robot safely. This is perhaps the first month where the unit is still "cool". At some point you but no longer remember, that it is programmed in a day and then there are just problems.

Negative is that the dust filter (which, incidentally, on closer inspection only are "HEPA-like") are quite expensive. When the exchanges regularly, which costs the same as regular buying a vacuum cleaner bag!

The Roomba comes in our three-room apartment with kitchen, bathroom and toilet each trip in each room. We have set up its base station in the office and he drives reliably the three living rooms from. In kitchen, bathroom and toilet he has to go through a transition. Due to chaotic driving style it is increasingly unlikely that it reaches a space, the farther this way. Therefore, we usually have to "expose manually" him in function room, so that he makes there clean.

Despite the negative points the device is a real asset and useful. You have so comparing one thing with a dishwasher: one must continue some wash by hand, has certain things to consider and so just as there are a few pitfalls when Robotic vacuum cleaner when loading, but such a device is useful to keep the apartment halfway in shot ,
