It sucks. We only keep it out of pity, as a family pet. You’ll have hard time finding a dumber robotic vacuum. I mean, it has this bristle on the right side, but always follow the wall on the left.
Or you place it 3 feet from the dock, press the dock button and it would speed across the room in the opposite direction (and spend another half an hour trying to get home, sometimes dying in the middle of the room).
You have to raise the chairs in the dining room, otherwise it would just get under the table and spend all the time there bouncing between the chairs, leaving the rest of the room untouched.
Obviously the robot has no mapping and path planning capability, it just randomly switch between 4 or so patterns. My kids would have programmed it better.
@nenik I have all of 900sq’ & it regularly misses the ONLY other room in the place. “Dumb” doesn’t seem to be strong enough. However I am entertaining myself micromanaging the “little b*tch”
This is probably my favorite purchase from Meh. Between three girls, a dog, and a cat in the house it gets a workout. I clean it out a few times a week and it keeps the floors clean in return.
So, mine showed up broken. I filled out the form and asked for a replacement. Got an email with a shipping label - no accompanying instructions or commentary. Shipped the broken Roomba back, and over the weekend I got a credit on my card. I’m not unhappy that I got a refund, but I got ZERO communication from Meh support throughout the process. Seems strange.
@admiralpoopants its fine. Mine actually hops up on the bottom of the cat condo to clean up. It’s going from wood to a carpeted surface almost an inch up. The only thing it won’t go on is a shaggy brown rug we have. We just use it to store stuff we don’t want swept up.
No one needs a Roomba. Everyone is home and can vacuum everyday.
@ElieC maybe it could be used for entertainment purposes.
@ElieC @ybmuG My roomba entertains me. And who really wants to vacuum?
@ElieC Can and Will are two wholly different things
Ok. I just saw a bulletin from the CDC. They strongly recommend that we only tell “inside jokes” until further notice.

That’s good because our stairs have been squeaking for many years that nobody understands them.
I have nothing. It’s like a vacuum in there.
@hchavers Nature abhors a vacuum.
@hchavers @wonidejack as did my cat
Hmm…I think I can use the filter in my homemade covid mask…
JFC y’all have the weirdest taste in sex toys.
@alacrity it’s more seductive when the vacuum does a little dance for you.
If I didn’t already have a Roomba 650 refurb (from that other site that will not be named), then I would seriously consider this.
Who refurbished it? Timmy down the street, or Roomba?
And “I, Robot” is on tonight!

Does it suck?
Went all out on that meh button today, huh?
@cinoclav It has tiny little printing on it. That’s pretty unusual.
I feel like I should say something about a not-bag-of-crap-bag-of-crap, but I’m just exhausted.
Clicked the meh button, everyone stay safe.
who did the refurbishing?..if it was IROBOT you got a chance…if it was a 3rd party refurbisher then you have a problem…

Just got mine, and the site didn’t even say it was shipped! That’s service. Looks good and works well! Bless u meh. Bless

Turns out the email came from Morningsave support, not meh… it was in the spam folder. Doh.
I have an econovac. It’s very good. i’m sure thsi is good too.
These suck? I know. Way way late on that one
Does it randomly bang around the room like primitive Roombas or does it neatly vacuum “golf course” style like more advanced robots?
How is it on transitions? My floors aren’t even between my rooms because I own an old shithole farm house.

How does the ocean say goodbye?
It just waves.
