iRobot - Roomba i1

I dunno man I got me a new to me but prolly pretty old roomba i1+ and I'd be lying if I didnt run that through my place every Mondays Wednesdays Fridays and Saturdays even tho I have 2 sebos and a miele the floor just doesn't have that just back from the dentist smoothness that I now fully expect every inch of floor to feel like at all times.

I bought a Roomba that can mop and vacuum (pricey models are great). I bought a bunch of replacement rags/mops on Temu for a few euros, and exchange them every now and then. All you have to do besides that is fill its water tank with clean water and floor soap. I also went on my Roomba's App, drew out a map of my house, and set a cleaning schedule for every single day on setting 'deep clean'. And he keeps the floors like 98% spotless, while we have 2 long-haired dogs and 1 short hair cat. We still vacuum and mop ourselves like once a week or so. But if need be we could easily skip that. The difference has been amazing. Googly eyes are optional. ;) Why do it yourself if a robot can do it for you?

I love my Roomba (no mop), and have owned it since Covid. Use my Upright e/o week, then Roomba 3-4 days each week. Am Amazed at the amount of lint/dust/hair/crud I find in Roomba on day-1 after 4 days of not using either. The upright bag needs replacing only once a year.

I had a Roomba, and it did a good job. It died after 2 years though, and they don't sell repair parts. I kept it limping along for another few months until I gave up on it. I don't think I'd ever get another Roomba, but I would like to try another brand.

Mine is named Optimus Grime. He’s been part of our family for 3 years. He works harder than anyone else in this household cleaning 2-3 hours per night every night on a schedule. Upkeep has been fairly inexpensive. Before bed, my husband and I pick up everything off the floor that the Mr.Grime could consider a hazard (takes maybe 3-5 minutes because kids toys), and we’re good! We have a self dumping one, which makes it really easy to set up a schedule and forget about it. It’s been a life saver considering we have 3 kids and a large dog.

I got this too. My i1 has been having issues charging and I was actually looking for batteries. This couldn’t have been better timing for me! Congrats!
