Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

A few months ago, I bought an 800 series Roomba for about $500. I ended up returning it after a few tries. I was disappointed by the battery that couldn't quite get through my larger rooms, cleaning brushes that left dust along the wall, and the fact that it only picked up about 90% of my toddler's dropped Cheerios, which was the main reason I bought it. At that price point, I expected much better. I love my Ninja blender and my Shark upright vacuum, so figured it was worth giving this one a shot despite it not being the industry leader in robot vacuums. What a pleasant surprise! 30% cheaper than the Roomba and it doesn't give me any of the issues! I've had it for a month now. My walls are dust free, and I have picked up literally one cheerio manually (the true test of cleanliness in a house with a 2 year old). The wifi connectivity, while not particularly important to me, is a nice added touch which, in RoombaLand, you can only get if you spring another $200 or more for the 900 series. My biggest concern was the brush rollers, as I had heard that Roomba's brushless rollers on the 800 series was a major step forward in avoiding tangles, but I've had zero problems. Long story short - if you're considering a robot vacuum (and you should), save yourself a couple hundred bucks and get this instead of the Roomba you've been eyeing.
