I let my roomba run on the tile and linolium. It does a good job getting the bits and pieces (especially under the highchair and furnature), even if it is kind of loud.

Doesn't replace a good dyson, but I can run this ALOT more.

i want a sansa! i want a sansa! i want a sansa!
where are they?????

Yes, carpet wood or tile they work great. My dog sheds tons of fine hair daily, the roomba does vacuum the hair, although it takes a while getting the hair out of the carpet.

And the lighthouse is so it does one room before moving to the next.

For those of us that spend time in the wood shop a finishing sander is a great thing to have ;)


That being said let's just get it out of the way:

1. Yes it works on hardwoods, tile, carpet, that ugly fake turf stuff, etc
2. No it will not make your carpets super duper clean when you haven't vacuumed in 4 years
3. It probably won't eat your cat, probably...
4. Yes we know you want a scooba...
5. Yes it will go over small bumps
6. Yes, it's another Roomba on a Woot-Off, quit acting surprised
7. Yea it'll help keep the hair to a minimum if you have a pet tribble

my old one did a good job of maintaining on hard wood. Not so great on carpet.

No, but my Dyson's does. I love my Dyson.

Everyone buy at least 2 and have a Roomba war!

With $5 shipping?

Random question - can this be programmed to chase pets, or is that still a manual task?

Your cat and dog will get used to it. Before that happens, you need to have a video camera.

It'll choke on the laundry, though.

My Dyson is my best friend...

Do you need to set up a Virtual Wall to keep the thing from going down stairs?

NE1 in FARGO?

I hope you and your families are safe and sound. and Warm!

With all these roombas running around at woot, they must be sucking up all the bag of craps i've been waiting for!

I don't get the roomba haters. Roombas are GREAT vacuums. My wife and I tried one a few years back and were shocked at all the guppy it pulled out of the carpet. Our regular upright vacs sure can't hold a candle to them.

I love mine so much I got a dirtdog for my workshop. That thing picks up nails and screws and coins and all kinds of guppy without a hiccup. My workshop has never been so clean.

can't wait to scare the guppy out of my cat....in for one!

Yeah, he said that, too. >,>

This one is MUCH cooler! (it just may not clean as well)

Get a room, all of you.

Does it work on a mac? What about mac and cheese?

I have a WifeBa. works better and cooks on the StoveBa too.

I took the appearance of the roomba to be a call to lunch. Baked potato stuffed with sauteed mushrooms, onions, broccoli, ham and cheese...topped with sour cream, snipped chives, freshly ground black pepper and...


...CHEDDAR BACON SALT!!!

Thanks, w00t!!! Love you!!!

Whoa, I'm at work and replaced a UPS unit for a user and came back to see that the bar has barely moved.

I thought the Roomba was in high demand...

Too bad I have two of them already.

Does woot have an infestation of these things or something?

KtCallista wrote:I don't have time when I come home with two small kids to vacuum everyday, and this does a prefunctory job.

Try bathing the kids instead of vacuuming them... doesn't work as well on crumbs or pet hair, but better for ground-in dirt.

Why are their flashing yellow lights on todays woot?

Yuck...This means on this lousy new england friday...i must go back to work! see you in a few hours!

BTW...not hating the ROOMBA by any means - have purchased before!

It was just about lunch time, and the citrus press was sold out. I refreshed the page, hoping that it wouldn't be the box of chorizo before I headed out, or that the item would sell out when I was getting my lunch.

The roomba came up, and I knew I'd have all the time in the world to grab my food.

The only time I've been glad to see the roomba in the woot off.

yes just in time for lunch .... ROOMBA, ROOMBA !!!!!
the Seriously need more of these !

brieanna wrote:I would buy them all if it wasn't for my berber carpets.

I have berber carpet and it works fine. In fact, I have so much of it that I have TWO roombas working on it sometimes. It's funny when they collide in a corner and don't know which way to go next...

Just make sure you don't have any loose carpet threads sticking up anywhere. I presume you know that if you DO have loose threads sticking up, you cut them off with scissors, you don't pull it?

HossDawg97 wrote:They could at least have the decency to do this over my lunch break.

Ohhh, this junk is gonna take longer than your lunch break to sell. They hold items up here for 12 hours on a wootoff, or until they sell out. Looks like I'm checking back in 11 and a half hours.
