I recently received an email from, Anne, an urbanmoms.ca member in the Niagara Region, who proclaimed her love for her vacuum. Now, this may seem strange until you are introduced to this amazing piece of equipment. This is no regular vacuum – this is the Roomba Red – an iRobot.
The Roomba Red is an automatic floor vacuum that scoots around the floor, unattended, and chases away your dustbunnies. All you have to do is push a button! It is round and flat, about 12 inches in diameter, and runs on a battery pack. Anne loves the fact that all she needs to do is set it down on the floor, push the button, and it zooms around the room sucking up the dirt and crumbs and yes, even pet hair, too!
The dirt is collected in a canister that you just dump after each use. The Roomba Red can be used on carpet and tile and it will scoot under the couch or bed and continue on its journey until the room is done. Anne told us that her Roomba Red is very smart too – it stops at the top of stairs! If there is a spot that is extra dirty, it will spend more time on that area. It runs around base boards, bumps off furniture and criss-crosses the room until every inch is vacuumed.
This product is a huge time saver. If, like Anne, you would rather be spending your time in any way other than cleaning or if you are just trying to be more efficient, the Roomba sounds like the way to go! The cost is not outrageous either. Vacuum cleaners can be really expensive but the Roomba is only around $250 Canadian (depending on the model and accessories).
Thanks to Anne for letting us know about this fabulous product! Please share your comments below or send me an email.
