I have hardwood in every room except my bathroom and sunroom, which are tiled, so i have a lot of rugs. The cleaning wasn't even comparable to very quickly running my upright vacuum over the rugs.
For dusting my hardwood, and as I said prior, I have a lot of it, i much prefer my big Libman microfiber cleaning pad. I can whip around the whole house with it in 10-15 minutes!
I had my roomba for 3 months and then sold it on craigslist. The only thing i liked about it was that it got to the hardwood flooring under my sleigh bed. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it. |
I've done some review reading outside of YT, and your concerns seem very common. It all has a theme too. People with carpets, area rugs, stairs, or any such obstacles hate the Roomba. I live in an all hardwood, single story home. We have a minimilastic style (no excessive furniture) and I can't have any carpets or area rugs due to allergies, which based on my reading might make my home more ideal for a Roomba to work. We'll see, I guess.
