lalalisa Posted December 3, 2006 Report Share Posted December 3, 2006 Hello!I haven't been able to vacuum now since my POTS onset (4 1/2 years). My husband vacuums when he gets time (not often - maybe once/month??). I've been thinking about saving up for a Roomba (robotic vacuum). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RoombaDoes anyone have one? Experiences?Thanks for your input! Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gena Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I have a Scooba (the robot mopper machine), but not the Roomba. I have two friends who have Roombas and they love them.I definitely like my Scooba...mopping is definitely a chore that makes me very symptomatic. I just use vinegar and water in my Scooba (as I'm sensitive to chemicals in most cleaning agents) and it does a great job. It does take about 45 minutes per room though, so I have to do it on a day that I'll be in the house to check on it every now and then, as it can get stuck once in a while, but not often.Over all I'm happy with the Scooba. The Roomba might be next on my list. I'm such a picky vacuumer though, I like to get under couches and in every nook and cranny, so I don't think the Roomba could live up to my high standards! HA HA!

bttrflyamby1981 Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 These are the 2 household chores I have the hardest time with. That and laundry. I would be afraid of things getting vacuumed up that weren't supposed to be? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rachel Posted December 4, 2006 Report Share Posted December 4, 2006 I don't have a Roomba, but I remember reading some good things about them a year or two ago on a post. If we're ever living on our own again I will definitely be getting one!Rachel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aprilmarie52 Posted December 6, 2006 Report Share Posted December 6, 2006 it sounds like it would be really cool, I think that it would drive my cats crazy though! They are already a little off if you get my drift. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lalalisa Posted December 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2006 Hello!"Dawg Tired"....you've sold me! =) The great news is that we are going to buy one!Any suggestions as to where to get a Roomba? I've looked on Amazon.com but it's a bit confusing because they have all of the models - it's hard to tell which ones are the latest models.Any suggestions?Lisa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gena Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 Lisa, Not sure if you alreay purchased a roomba or not, but the irobot company who makes them has a good comparison chart of all the models. Here is the link http://store.irobot.com/comparison/index.jspI purchased our scooba on ebay and got a very good deal. Good luck,Gena Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MightyMouse Posted December 11, 2006 Report Share Posted December 11, 2006 You can also find the best prices by using a price search engine, such as froogle (part of google). http://froogle.google.comother pricesearchers include:http://www.pricegrabber.comhttp://www.pricescan.comhttp://www.nextag.comCan you tell I'm an online shopper? I HATE the mall... probably because it's made me symptomatic for as long as I can recall.Nina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
