5.0 out of 5 starsGreat product!December 28, 2006
By Jerry Yen
I received the iRobot Roomba Scheduler as a gift for Xmas this year. It's probably the best Xmas gift I've received since 2000.First, let me state that my buddy has one and he had already instructed me in its use. So I wasn't ignorant of its capabilities and limitations. If you've never owned a Roomba before, please read carefully.1) Handle the Roomba with care. Sorry, this product is not made to military specifications and you should NOT abuse it. It's made with plastic and rubber and it will NOT withstand a lot of abuse.2) The Roomba scheduler comes with a quick charger base. Keep the battery contact points on the scheduler and the Roomba unit CLEAN. Use a paper towel and some rubbing alcohol if needed. If the contact points are dirty, it will NOT engage and charge.3) Your room needs to be made "Roomba Friendly". This means, you might have to re-arrange your furniture a bit, pick up any items left on the floor, tidy up, and use cable fasteners on those electric or A/V cables laying about.4) Before using the Roomba for first time, use your regular vaccum cleaner to clean the house. The Roomba vaccum has a small dust bin and even smaller filter. It's really designed for maintenance cleaning and not for heavy duty jobs.5) Set your Roomba to clean your room/house 2-3 times a week and empty the dust bin weekly or bi-weekly. Don't forget to dust the filter. The Roomba is small and you shouldn't expect it to have a lot of suction power.Without the Roomba, I had to vaccum the house once a week. With the Roomba, I only need to vaccum the house once a month. The Roomba is NOT a perfect vaccum replacement. But it does make your life a LOT easier.What the Roomba lacks in suction power, it has a great "grabbing" power and the ability to roam under your bed. It's great at picking up dust, hair, etc. and keeping your house looking nice and clean.The remote control is a bit cumbersome to use, but it does work. You can set the day(s) of the week and time of day for the roomba to clean. Try to use the Roomba under your supervision for first few times and see if it gets stuck anywhere. The unit is programmed to roam around in circles and straight lines. When it bumps into something it backs up and change direction. It's not a particularly intelligent unit, but it works and won't fall down the stairs.For what I use it for, I give it 5 stars. But if you're expecting a 100% vaccum replacement, sorry. This is a "80-20" product that gets 80% of the cleaning work done for you, but you still need to get off your butt to do the other 20%.
