thorne Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 This thing rocks, It does a helluva a job and I have 3 dogs and a cat. The floor looks awesome minus the stains. I left it working on the kitchen this morning. I will report how well it does. I was really sceptical of this little thing but i really thought it would help around the house since my wife can't sweep when I'm home (Allergies are to bad) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedRocket1647545505 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Bought my mom one for Xmas last year. Worked great for about the first month, then it started fucking up. Cleans great, but after about 5 min. into the job, it will back into a wall and keep trying to climb up it. After that, it sounds the little alarms and shuts off. I told her to send it in for warranty work, but she never did. Probably out of warranty by now. Smooth move, Ma. I think I'm going to steal it from her since all it does is sit in a closet now.

SpaceGhost Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I bought the scheduler roomba on Woot last week for $99, it should be here tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 99$ fuck yeah thats an amazing price. I'm looking for a scooba now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
black00ws6 Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 My wife got a scooba for her b-day. It's ok, def doesn't do the job that elbow grease can do but well enough for a maintenance cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thorne Posted December 12, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Thats the same with aroomba. It does well enough to keep things looking tity assuming there was not a big party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 Yeah, saw that one on woot, too. You guys be sure to chime in with your experience. I wanted one, too even though I clean house once a week I think it would be nice to help with dog hair, etc during the week. She doesn't think it'll work with a shit (probably won't).

HAOLE Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I have had one for about 4-5 years. They do ok, but are not a replacement for a upright vacuum. We just use our for in between cleaning. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boost-n-Juice Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I bought my wife a Gen X Kirby about 7yrs ago and the thing works great but all she does is complain about it being to heavy and blah blah blah. What a waste of money. I keep trying to tell her it will give her a stronger back. I see these Cleaners at work wearing these "backpack" style vacuums and was going to buy my wife one for her birthday and she got pissed. You just can't win. It's like buying a guy something that helps take the trash out, I wouldn't be pissed. Damn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpaceGhost Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 We have a dyson, the purple one, for pet hair. We have 2 cats (one is a Himalayan Siamese) and a Shelty. Oh my god the pet hair it picks up....... Best Vacuum we have owned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

verse Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 All those things do is make it look like the floor has been swept, hardly picks anything up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HAOLE Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 I have a Kirby and a Dyson. Kirby wins, but it is heavy. I do like the dyson though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farkas Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 We have a dyson, the purple one, for pet hair. We have 2 cats (one is a Himalayan Siamese) and a Shelty. Oh my god the pet hair it picks up....... Best Vacuum we have owned. I have that same one and find it to be a piece of shit.. The hair just sticks in the roller, and it doesn't pick crap up after that.. I can pay 400 dollars less for a bagless vaccuum that does the same thing.
