We have a Roomba (Rosie) and a Dyson (Jarrod). Both are great. The Roombas are good for letting you go longer between regular vacuuming. Also they're adorable and hilarious. It gets stuck from time to time but generally finds it way back to its little dock.

We have all tile and hardwood in our house and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to carpet after finding out how much crap gets on the floors.

That little polka-dot'd rough rider works just fine for my place. There's a hook on the crevice tool and a slot on the stick for it. A negative, and maybe this is how tall all vacuums are, is that it's not tall enough for me to max comfortably vacuum while hoverboard'n.

Are you already so good at hoverboarding that you could do it while vacuuming? (If the vacuum was tall enough.)

Trim · « **Reply #79 on:** April 11, 2016, 10:03:35 AM »

Yeah, vacuuming is no different than riding around my apartment, it's just that you have to point a stick at stuff while you're board'n.

Do they have any robots that work on hardwood floors?

Roomba works on all surfaces, even makes seamless transitions between carpet/hardwood/tile

At that price, yeah, if you've got a smaller place and little carpet. It wouldn't do for a big house full of carpet. For me, it was that $80 polka-dot'd vacuum vs. nothing at all and continuing to use a broom and swiffer as needed.

star seed 7 · « **Reply #91 on:** May 02, 2016, 01:08:01 PM »

Well I have no carpet and only use a broom

star seed 7 · « **Reply #92 on:** May 02, 2016, 01:08:59 PM »

So I ordered it

We have all tile and hardwood in our house and I don't think I'll ever be able to go back to carpet after finding out how much crap gets on the floors.

GfA and other Roomba owners: WonderMeal Estate is an all-hardwood house. Three kids, toddler and up. (Think Kat Kid but 2.5 years from now.) They spill a lot of things on the floor, and it's a real pain to clean it up all the time, so we've been thinking about getting a Roomba.

Do you think it could stand up to lots of kid crumbs? Also, we have like a 1 to 1.5-inch dropoff between the front half of our house and the back half. (I'm not really sure why.) Could the Roomba navigate around that or would we have to set up some sort of ramp thing for it?

Also, is there a Roomba that mops and vacuums? Would pay top dollar.

Finally--do I have to get a separate Roomba for the upstairs and the downstairs, or could one take care of both?

wondermeal only comes to this blog when he needs help.

maybe you should attend to your classical music thread, wm.

or maybe wondermeal should scrap his roomba plans and figured out wtf is wrong with his foundation

Late to the party, but another option and some insight...

http://hoover.com/products/details/uh70120/windtunnel-t-series-rewind-plus-bagless-upright/

I've had a Kirby and a Dyson, and that Wind Tunnel beats them both (fight me). No joke, it's light, but crazy powerful, and lasted at least until I got divorced. No idea if she ever used it after. She sure didn't touch it when I was around

At 129, it is still a very good deal.

NOPE!

Ignored the foundation issues and bought a Roomba 805 from CostCo using my Freedom card. (cc thread cross-post) Got a new robot pet, 2200 URs, and a happy Mrs. WonderMeal.
