I have had a recommendation from three of my friends who have a Roomba that they are well worth the money and work great.\u00a0 I finally broke down and bought one at our local Menards.\u00a0 I got a basic model — no base unit and one "wall."\u00a0 I charged the unit overnight, and set it up to clean the living room first thing in the morning.<\/p>\n
First, I made sure there were no weird things on the floor — like power cords.\u00a0 Then, I blocked the area I wanted it to clean.\u00a0 At that time, I found out that the "wall" needed two "D" batteries (which I didn’t have).\u00a0 So I found the rechargable "D" batteries and made blockades with boxes and other large things.\u00a0 <\/p>\n
I did find that the stairs were an issue.\u00a0 It got hung up on the steps that lead to the foyer.\u00a0 So I set up another blockage for the stairs. I think I will need two more "walls" for my house.\u00a0 What I did like, was that it fits under my buffet!\u00a0 The buffet is very large and heavy, and really hasn’t been cleaned under in a long while because of the difficulty in moving it.\u00a0 It also has little brushes that helps get it close to the wall.<\/p>\n
I really didn’t time how long it took to clean the room.\u00a0 I was anxious to empty the bin to see how much dirt it picked up.\u00a0 Wow, was I amazed!\u00a0 It really did the job!<\/p>\n
I will now recommend, along with my other friends, the Roomba — that I have affectionally named "Rosy."<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
