Product Manuals
A: Wouldn't work too well on high pile carpets or shaggy rugs, but didn't have a problem transitioning from flat to carpet. It would scrunch up the edges of the carpet if it's not stiff enough.
A: Stop worrying about how the sausage is made... There's a reason why I program it to run while I'm asleep... so I don't have to worry about 'how' it works, only that the floor is visibly clean when I get up. Look at it as a blind man in a hedge maze who can only 'hear' a signal coming from 'home' when the battery is low. Although I notice mine tends to follow a consistent path when it starts cleaning, it is largely a random algorithm which over a set period of time during a cleaning cycle, would cover a majority of the area to be cleaned. It is heavily dependent upon size of area to be cleaned the and number of obstacles versus battery capacity. So it is possible to have in a large home - a spot(s) not cleaned one day but is the next - all because of the randomness of each cleaning. In a smaller area, the unit gets more chances to cover every area before the battery runs out. Note: it still cleans until it is docked. NO MAPPING only has two downsides - (1) if it doesn't find it's way home before the battery dies, you have to pick it up and put it back at the dock AND (2) no ability to resume cleaning after recharging (important only if you have a LARGE area to be cleaned). That said - the iRobot website has guidelines to help you select the model that best suits your need. I used that to land on the e5. The e5 works 'good enough' for me as my area to be cleaned is just about or a bit more than the area recommended. I run it everyday before I wake up. The first floor is very clean - 6 cats and 2 dogs worth of fur tumbleweeds mostly gone. I know it may not have enough battery capacity to cover every square inch. But it is good enough to say that over a two or three day span, all areas get cleaned in a large home. That said - I still need to pull out the electric broom (not the Dyson) every now and then to suck up corners that a round unit cannot reach. Carpets I will still use a Dyson - but much less frequently - to deep clean dust, etc... In the four weeks I've owned it - maybe 5 times have I had to carry it home because it couldn't find it's way home to the dock. And that is largely due to the obstacle course that may lay between the unit and the docking station. If it's in the living room near the end of the battery cycle, it'll have a hard time finding it's way out and back to the dock. So... picking up and carrying the unit back to base maybe once a week is still better than hauling out my Dyson every few days. Is mapping worth the extra $? Only you can make that call. For me - this works just fine...
Q: Does this model cut long human hair or does the hair have to be cut?
A: The Dual Multi Surface Brushes on Roomba e5 will prevent hair from tangling around the extractors
A: It will take glamour style photos of your pet as it works through your house. If you have a smart tv it will cast them to your screen when you arrive home.
A: The "brushes" on the E5 are soft rubber counter rotating brushes. There are no bristles. So far, they seem to work great. We have to large dogs, and they have not gotten clogged or tangled with hair at all. The dust bin can be rinsed out to clean it, but the removable filter cannot be washed. I just knock the dust out in the trash can and every couple weeks give it a good blast with canned air. So far, very pleased with the E5.
Q: The type of filter says other. How do you clean the filter or replace it
A: It just a typical filter. I believe that the filter can last a long time. Each time a job is done, I take the filter out and knock the dust out by tapping it on the side of my trash can, then I put it back in.
Q: Does this vac detect cords or shoelaces?
A: Yes, all Roombas have anti-tangle technology. The robot will generally just drive over cords or shoelaces, but will reverse if anything gets captured by the dual brushes.
