Roombas are magical little robot vacuum cleaners. But are they better than a regular vacuum? Lauren Goode breaks it down.

Frankly*, YOU'RE adorable, Lauren. *don't call me Frankly This style of review is pretty good because it lets pros and cons be interjected in ways that can't really be done when a single person is reviewing something. But I hope that Lauren still does a few single reviews between these, past highlights being her Nexus 6P first look.

A roomba is more of a glorified broom. It doesn't have much suction, but it does totally replace sweeping the floor with a broom. I have four cats, indoor only, and lots of cat fur. I am totally happy with the roomba, it sweeps all my floors two or three times a week, and when I want a deeper clean, I haul out my vacuum and vacuum. With a wrecked back, the Roomba is absolutely the thing you want in your house. P.S. Hey you two in the video, both of your arguments and statements are valid, and in fact, Roombas and vacuums are apples and oranges, not really comparable at all.

This is pretty good! The problem with the room a is that it's "stupid", it just bounces around, and sometimes after half an hour there are still dusty spots in a room. It works fine in dream apartments with no objects in the way, but in real life it isn't good for rooms where there's stuff stacked or tight corners like kids bedrooms. You NEED another cleaning method if you have a roomba: it doesn't take the place of a vacuum, it's just an extra. Get a Vorwerk Folletto (or whatever it's named in your country): it's very pricey, but it's another cleaning experience

The Folletto looks like a rebranded Neato botvac, love the smart navigation and suction on those things. Only downside is the noise.

We've been using Kirby vacuums in the funeral homes for as long as I can remember. I'm going to stay with them. The disposable bags take a long time to fill and don't lose suction. I don't think a Rhoomba could do the job of picking up flower petals and normal foot traffic. I was born with a vacuum in my hand, as my parents had me cleaning and cutting grass as soon as I stopped crawling, lol.

The only negative of Roomba is its price, everything else has no real competition. I had a borrowed Roomba for a while, and it's awesome. One less chore to do, and those who live alone, know how much time it takes just keeping the place clean. And it does a really good job also. Would buy it right now if I had money to spend.

I have a Shark IQ with a self-emptying base, no bags. I bought it "like new", so I got hundreds of dollars off. Less than $300. I love the robot vacuum for the most part. Yes, it doesn't do my blinds or my ceiling or my couch, but I love how clean my floors are. They aren't as powerful as the regular vacuum, but the floors get done daily and I didn't vacuum even once a week before. Very noticeable how much cleaner my floors are. Love it.

Nowadays (2020) you can get a great “off brand” roomba for less than $250 on amazon. We have kids and having it automatically clean the entire floor very night changed our lives! As for the 2nd floor it’s not hard to just bring it up the stairs and then let it do it’s thing 🤷🏻‍♂️ although we do the second floor only once a week since it stays cleaner.
