iRobot's Roomba Vacuum Review- Does it live up to its hype?

Irobot Roomba Review. The Robotic vacuum cleaner review. Is the Roomba robot vacuum hype? Will Roomba clean well or bad? GoVacuum reviews the Roomba vacuum cleaner.

The 21st century mind is obsessed with automating almost every aspect of its daily life. Ideally, technology can help with automating the parts of life that aren't necessarily fun. Vacuuming can be a laborious process and that's why for many, a robotic vacuum appears to be a must have in the modern household. The question remains, however, "does this robotic vacuum actually work?"

In this video, GoVacuum tests out a iRobot Roomba vacuum and explains all its benefits and limitations. Enjoy.

What you said is accurate; it's no replacement for a full-sized, full blown vacuum. But as a small tool for basic cleaning it's fine. I could foresee it also being useful for cleaning of those little dirt trails left when you try to sweep things up.

[GoVacuums]

We arree 100%. A Roomba robotic vacuum cleaner is great for supplemental cleaning in between vacuuming with your ful size canister vacuum, upright vacuum or central vacuum.

I disagree 100% I ran a full size vacuum before running my new roomba for the first time, and I had to empty the roomba twice it picked up so much more dirt. The only thing you need with a roomba is a shop vac or a handheld to get stairs, and dusting area. The roomba vacuums every other day and keeps my dust levels so much lower I rarely have to dust. Also it gets under bed and spaces that no one vacuums often enough. Now they are getting done every other.

I don't know what kind of new full size vacuum you have, but it must not be a good one. Having 120 volts can not be replace by anything rechargeable.

why has no one made a maze for one of these yet, it culd be like a rat maze only the reward for finnishing is a pile of dirt :D

[GoVacuums]

What a great idea! I think that's an excellent idea for our next video!  Maybe we can have two robotic vacuums side by side and see which finishes first.

Nobody's floor looks like that.

don't tell your mom, it's a disaster in there.

[1emanres]

Needs an optical analyser like the guidance system of some cruise missiles,so that it can tell when it's gotten all the dirt up: if it goes over a patch that doesn't match the color of the rug or floor and that patch is reduced by the going over,then it should keep repeating until the patch no longer reduces.This way,the floor would be clean and the robot would be worth the fortune you pay for the sloppy thing.Also,it needs an extendable hose and self cleaning brush so it can reach behind stuff.

I just got my first Roomba... It is doing it's first run right now... I keep my windows open all year round, and wanted this too help control the dust (and dog hair)... The virtual walls are a great plus to keep it out of certain areas, i.e. computer cables, electronics, etc...

So I'm watching a Terminator prequel?

[matthew tipton]

i like it looks real handy

[afreeworldwithoutlaw]

By no means this is a cleaner! Sweeper would be a better suited name.

your description was quite accurate though.

[Tbolt1000TForLife]

neat little mechine, but only one problem, this will only make people lazy, don't get me wrong, i live this thing, i just don't want to be lazy, but it is very tempting

[detectivebobvideos]

thumbs up if your watching in 2012 or 2013
