Amazon has Roombas on sale for 40% off so we have no excuse not to spring clean

"Wonderful little machine... This little i2 (Hal) is my first foray into robot vacuums and I purchased it on the recommendation of a friend who has owned a number of different brands/models, including this one...Several months in, Hal's dirt cannister is ~2/3 full after a complete run of my home. All in all, Hal was a good purchase and I think he'll last a good while."

"This product is life changing. We searched long and hard for a robot vacuum before choosing this one... iRobot i7 is the greatest purchase of our adult life. Hands down. With a new baby, a 6 year old, and a dog.. it makes life so much easier!!!! So glad we got this make and model. Perfect for those of you with pets and lots of hair. You won't have issues with it if you clean and maintain it how you’re supposed to."

"I toyed with the idea of getting a Roomba, as well as the specific model I wanted, for months before purchasing. I finally decided on the E5 for my two-bedroom apartment, and I’ve used it for three months prior to writing this review.

"I have two cats, and hardwood floors with area rugs. The Roomba cleans both surfaces extremely well and with ease. I empty the compartment 1-2 times per week and I’m always amazed at the amount of cat hair, dust, and dirt this thing sucks up. The amount of suction is great and quite strong. I don’t need a separate vacuum - this cleans my house very well. If it detects a dry spill or area of dirt while doing a cleaning job, it automatically goes into spot clean mode (circling in smaller then increasingly wider circles,) then resumes normal vacuuming. The spot-clean feature can also be used any time with the touch of a button...

"I did a ton of research before buying, and at first I was sure I wanted the smart mapping technology. However, this model has just the right amount of features and power without breaking the bank. For larger homes the mapping feature may prove useful, but for my use this unit is perfect. I’m extremely happy with it and highly recommend it to anyone else who is busy, hates vacuuming, or simply wants a cleaner home."

"It makes all the difference! Did the research, reads some reviews, went ahead and ponied up the dough for a Christmas gift. Beyond what I expected, or basically I didn't know just what it could do. It climbs over obstacles, gets the corners, goes straight back and forth in patterns and then all random-like, even gets up on the shag rug and mows that thing too! Our 3 cat, hair-covered floors are taken care of and it drops our having to actually hand vacuum to near zero."

"Absolutely Love...My floors (laminate) are constantly dirty from dogs and children. The Braava will clean almost the entire house on one attempt!! The app is easy to use and makes setting up a schedule or adjusting the settings a breeze. It takes a few days for the Braava to map your floor plan but once it does it’s amazing how accurate it is. Setting up different rooms and areas to mop is a fantastic feature of the Braava m6. I highly recommend and use the Braava m6 daily in my house!!"
