iRobot Roomba |
 | Great concept, if you don't have kids, dogs or a truly dirty house. | |
| Full Review:
iRobot Roomba |
| Geared for the light and regular cleaning -- great for wall to wall carpeting.
Don't go anywhere near fringed carpets with the Roomba -- you'll live to regret it.
If you've got a lot of obstacles, you're going to spend a lot fo time programming your Roomba.
Having said all that -- we're very interested in the next generations of the Roomba. We tested the first generation of Roomba, the second generation is now on the market, but we're going to wait til the third to try again. |
