Clean your carpets efficiently with this iRobot Roomba vacuum. It lets you set a schedule for automated vacuuming, and the sensors help it navigate under furniture and around objects on the floor for a more thorough cleaning job. This iRobot Roomba vacuum has internal brushes, agitators and suction to handle debris and pet hair.
Q: Does this have to have a monthly subscription to keep it running? How does it know where to go?
A: No subscription required. It's a very smart little device. You press the Clean button on top of the machine and it vacuums the entire floor space that it can access. It gently bumps items like furniture and then maneuvers around it. It can also spot clean--nice for small messes.
Q: How often does the filter need to be changed? Where can it be purchased?
A: I clean mine at least 3 times a week. But I use it every day and have a 5,000 sq ft home with a cat. An additional filter is included, they are washable and reusable.
A: Suzanne - No need to have an app, the robot has controls on the top to turn it on, tell it to return to 'home base', etc. The app is useful for scheduling the robot to vacuum at certain times, and it will also notify through the app if the robot got stuck, has completed the job, and so on...
Q: What are the dimension and how can be charged? It has a bag to store all the dirty? Thanks
A: Measures 13.9" diameter and 3.6" high. A charging station sits on the floor, it automatically docks and recharges. It is bagless, you just dump the waster container.
A: The unit comes with a dock - we put the dock under a chair in the middle area of the house, and it comes out on schedule and cleans most rooms - some days it will skip one and get another. Then after about an hour it goes back to the dock. The wife really likes it -
A: Yeah ours is loud. Sounds like it struggles. Loud enough we have to talk over it. Not happy with the noise but it does help.
A: It is designed not to go over edge. Mine usually senses the edge and turns around and goes in a different direction. It has, on one occasion, just stopped and given a verbal message to "move Roomba to a new location".
