iRobot Roomba 620 Robotic Vacuum

I recently bought my Roomba 620. It is the best thing I have purchased in a long time as it has made the biggest difference in my life! I happen to have a straight Saxony carpet, you know, the kind that shows every footprint and vacuum mark! The carpet is only 1 year old and guaranteed to last practically forever so even though it is a love/hate relationship I am pretty much stuck with it. I had a hard time vacuuming as the carpet is very dense which makes the upright vacuum difficult to push. Then I got my Roomba. For one thing, since the Roomba leaves wheel tracks, I can tell that even though it seems totally random, it actually covers every inch of the carpeting. Since it covers all of the carpet, I can only assume it also covers all of the tile. It also has no problem transitioning from tile to carpet. Instead of turning it loose on our open plan house, I shut it in one room at a time and when it has finished, I move it to another. It is easy to make barriers with a rolled up beach towel or such. We live in the desert where dust is an ongoing problem but when the dust is cleaned daily from the floors, there is less dust on the furniture, etc. My entire home is so much cleaner! I had a problem with the dustbin being difficult to open and the little yellow tab broke off after I had the Roomba for only a few weeks. IRobot Customer Service was wonderful and immediately sent me a replacement bin. This one is much easier to open so it’s all good. I recommend this little machine and only wish I had bought one years ago!
