I got a Roomba a couple of years ago when we put in all hardwood floors. Best investment I ever made. It scurries around the floor each night gathering all the cat hair and dust bunnies. And that dock that empties the dirt after cleaning is totally worth it.

Buy soft bumper foam!!! If you have a Roomba no matter the model your walls will get a black line on the wallboard with time. I didn’t noticed it for a year but there it is my entire house has a black line. And I have the most expensive model Roomba s9+

Compressed air is a robot parent’s best friend. Little hand held ‘air dusters’ (no, not the cans) extend not only the life of filters but also get dust and fibers out of bearings before they dig in.

I use a cheap regular vacuum cleaner to clean the dust bin. It’s a much cleaner and easier way to empty it.

use a seam ripper to snip long hair tangle around rollers, brushes, etc. (sewing section, $4)

This is brilliant! Thank you. I just ordered one.

If you have all of these problems “you should probably”skip a robot vacuum! LOL

I have a question about curtains. Most interior designers recommend curtains that reach the floor but that will obviously come in the way of robo vacuum. So how to get a good look while also not having to move the curtains every time we start a vacuuming session? Also, is there any way to make corner cleaning easier because robo vacuums are not good at cleaning those

I think this is helpful when deciding on buying one.

I vacuum out the filter after each use. And recommend that you do too.

Mine samsung vac has the bump tech and take 20 mins or less I have a small area though but it does my living room and hall only.

To me it's worth it to get the self emptying base for the robot. Because the one problem is since most vacuums are now bagless. I like having the clean base with a bag in it to collect dirt so you don't have to breathe in what you just vacuumed up. It's not about whether or not you can clean out the robot. It's whether or not if you want to breathe in the same stuff you just vacuumed up. In my opinion I don't feel like it's healthy. I use a aerosol can to clean up the HEPA filter and I do it outside so I don't breathe it in. What's nice with the iRobot clean base, you can tap the button that says empty base. So like if you get something that's clogged up or you want to empty out more dust out of robot before checking the internal part of it then you can actually do that.

always want to try one for the heck of it, our little used and visited family room has 8 by 4 persian carpets with out the tassle's and dont know it that would create problems

Tassles and fringe around carpets are definitely a problem with these guys.

I wasn’t going to comment and he actually where was this video made? I’m in San Jose California and I work at a garbage facility that happens to be under a luxury apartment building so people are always moving in and out and someone threw out this and that same exact lamp that you used at 1:19

Awesome video 🔥🔥👍

ok i will take care of my robot

Don't but an iRobot self emptying vacuum if you don't have 2.4G. The app won't work. Most internets are 5g only now so it will be just a low end vacuum you can only hit button on top to start. No blocking areas or programming cleaning. The company didn't respond to my complaint except to offer trade in value. Seriously!

Clicked on this video thinking somethig new ! but..

Imagine that there are machine that can “see” objects like cords, footwear, socks and bypass them. Have you heard of them?

Funny man .. keep going

Seems like less work in actually vacuuming but more work in maintenance and other stuff. Rather do it old school

It's like taking care of any vacuum cleaner, just a smaller capacity.

Great vacuum, Crappy app. Cant get it to connect to my WiFi even though we have several laptops, cell phones tv's and many other devices all connected. Rebooted router, shark and phone. It is a worthless app that does not work. They wont build a PC app so it was worthless. Took it back tp COSTCO for a refund. If I cant program it then its not worth anything to me.

Roomba and Hoover are both BRANDS, not generic terms for vacuums.

The persistent attempts of being humorous throughout this video comes out very cringy. Fortunately many of the suggestions are good enough to justify enduring it.
