iRobot Roomba Vacuum 2 Essential Robot with AutoEmpty Dock, 3 Suction Levels, Latest Floor Tracking Sensors, and Compact Design (Black)

Perfect For the Price Point, a Pet Owners Must have
I have 3 dogs that have a doggie door. To pick up all the debris they bring in, I use this Roomba almost everyday. It’s basic and I have not used the wireless feature yet, but also don’t see a need, so I can’t comment on that. What I love is having a vacuum robot like the Jetzens! Yay for technology! I have a few minor dislikes: It could be quieter, it misses dirt, and I do not like cleaning it. I spilt flour on the flour and it didn’t pick it up no matter how many times I coaxed it back. It gets stuck and can’t find its way back out of a few places like, under the sofa, between the legs of one of my tables, on the pedals of my piano, and 2 places under the cabinets. That said, it doesn’t do that every time. Emptying the dust compartment can be messy, as well as, cleaning the twisted threads & hair off of the rollers that needs scissors and a pry tool to clean. It’s time consuming. Also, don’t throw away your broom and dustpan yet, you’ll need it to clean the spots it misses. Right now it’s vacuuming under the sofa I’m sitting on and has found its way back out, it headed to the aforementioned table as I write and is not getting stuck. It also finds things like the back of my remote control. It will chipper as it scoots things around to alert you of it’s findings. It’s powerful and I’ve found it on top of my piano pedals diligently trying to clean them. That’s powerful! I also have another basic model from years back that still works and yes, I run both at the same time. The older model is not as effective or powerful. A few days ago, I noticed the bristles on the edge cleaner brush were completely broken off and the wheel was damaged. A quick, same-day prime delivery offered replacement parts at a ridiculous low cost & easy fix. It’s great at this price point, I spent double for the first model I bought about 7 years ago.

My vacuum helper
I have been wanting an automatic vacuum for quite some time but was hesitant that it would actually clean good. I still have to learn how to use this and see if I can set boundaries with this model but straight out of the box and not even fully charged for my first use (I would recommend charging it the full 3 hrs. as suggested, I accidentally started it and let it go!) it did great. The photos are from running two days in a row and as you can see the dirt bin is full so it is definitely cleaning. I’m hoping I can program it better because right now it seems to be all over the place and it doesn’t fully get one area before moving on to the next and it misses some trash/dirt since it is sporadic. I will update on that after I’ve learned how to use it! I’m happy with this purchase as of now. If you don’t want to clean the bin every day or two I would recommend getting the self emptying model. I just wanted to try the basic vacuum for now and see if it was worth it. I am a professional cleaner and so I have high expectations and so far this has met my needs. It has some “sweeper legs” that get in corners or edges like under counters and sometimes it does miss stuff but I know it is working as I have to empty the dirt bin frequently. It’s making my life a little easier! We named ours Dusty! It is not too loud but if your on a phone call it’s best to go to another room as it can be a little distracting. I set mine to go off at 12 pm every day and like clock work Dusty comes out and goes to work!The app was super easy to set up and like I said I am still learning and hope to set up specifics if I can with this model.The only issue I have had so far is that it will get stuck on a couple of my rugs. They are thick rugs so one it just stops and the alarm goes off for an error that it could not move. The other rug it says it is near a cliff lol! It isn’t that high of a rug but it is higher than the hard wood floors I have. I just move it and press start. It is a little aggravating but nothing too bad. I’m home all the time so I can move it but if I wasn’t I’m not sure if I could do anything from the app (again, still learning!)Also, make sure cords are picked up and if you have any sticky bug traps I’d move them because the little sweeper legs have gotten stuck to mine and I had to pull it off.Other than those two things I am loving my automatic vacuum and I recommend it his product. If I remember I will update my review after I’ve had it for a while longer!

I love this unit so much that I bought another unit for upstairs. I also bought a brush replacement kit.I don’t usually comment on stuff but simply impressed how simple it was to set up and download to my phone and my wife’s phone. We can be away and tell it to clean or set the time to start.I strongly recommended this product… glad I got it at the special reduced price.

Hace justo lo que quería, liberarme tiempo de aseo; deja bastante limpio, no he necesitado barrer mas que puntualmente desde hace tres semanas (incluso con un chihuahua y un pastor alemán). Cosas a cosiderar: hay que revisar el cepillo giratorio del frente cada que se usa porque se enreda con cabellos largos y se puede atascar, pero se limpia muy fácil. La potencia de la aspiradora y tamaño de los cepillos permite que se aspiren objetos largos y flexibles como collares para perro y cables de cargadores telefónicos, que pueden atascarlo; y las llantas principales pueden subirse a objetos que en primera instancia parecerían inofensivos; asi que hay que despejar muy bien el piso, basicamente si fueras a barrer y pudieras moverlo con la escoba, hay que quitarlo. Tambien ya que este modelo aspira aleatoriamente, entre más pequeño el espacio, lo limpia más rápido y mejor, asi que ayuda delimitar áreas, por ejemplo las mías aproximadas son: cocina(12 m2), comedor+sala+recibidor (55 m2), pasillo (12 m2), habitaciones (24 m2).Considerando que barrer a mano toma mi tiempo, es cansado, y me hace sudar; lo recomiendo mucho.
