iRobot vs. The other vac

Do you still use the other vac? Not sure what the other vac is? Any vac other than an iRobot is the “other vac.” This thing is incredible! The current version comes in assorted styles and cleans your house with hardly any assistance from you.

We have owned one (the older “scheduler” version) for over two years and it still runs all over the floors, under furniture, over rugs, around plants, anywhere it can find dust and debris. Depending on how often you schedule it to do your vacuuming as well as the level of filth-generation in your home, it does have to be emptied out from time to time. But that involves merely removing the back cannister and emptying it. Less frequently, the brushes will also need some cleaning off or you could just replace the brushes each time (more expensive and not really necessary).

The iRobot website has a video of this fantastic gadget (here’s the link - you may have to click their Watch Video link to see it) running around doing its stuff and also an infomercial (click their Roomba Commercial link for that) on the same page. Definitely worth their price (ranging from $119 to $499 - read the specs for details). LINK
