At my last apartment I had a cleaning lady come by every week. It wasn’t very expensive (an Alabama advantage: cheap labor!), and it kept the place looking and smelling nice. Unfortunately, that’s just not an option here. I prefer living in a clean place, but I don’t actually sweep and mop myself nearly as often as I think I should.
It was my birthday recently, I’ve got some money to spare, and a Roomba 570 costs less than six months’ human labor. Is it worth buying a robot to take care of this for me?
If yes (noting that my apartment is entirely floored in linoleum):
I bought a roomba for my wife but she doesn’t use it. It needs to be cleaned frequently and the “bag” compartment is too small.
Do you know of a viable competitor? If there’s something better on the market, I have no particular loyalty to the brand.
One friend’s grandmother had a Roomba, but it broke. My other friend says it would be easier if you just cleaned up your place yourself. I say you should buy a Roomba (I think) (depending on the cost).
I have had 2 Roombas for almost 5 years. Both are still going strong. I haven’t vacuumed my house once since I purchased them; they do it all. I can’t imagine being without a Roomba. If they aren’t working for some reason, contact customer support for iRobot – they will take care of you!!
