iRobot® Roomba® Scheduler Vacuuming Robot

Pre-Roomba Scheduler, our hardwood floors only stayed free of Bart hair tumbleweeds, dust, and dirt for a day or two after cleaning! Unfortunately we don't have the time, nor desire to clean that frequently.

With the Roomba Scheduler, we always have clean floors! We can schedule the cleaning to happen while we're off at work. When it's done cleaning, it automatically returns to the self-charging Home Base.

What do we have to do?

Besides admire the clean floors, we barely have to lift a finger. We have to occassionaly empty the Roomba Scheduler and make sure that there is no junk on the floor that could clog the brushes (just like any other vacuum). Easy breezy!

My parents got us the Roomba Scheduler as an early anniversary gift! I think Ian would agree that it's the best gift ever. He used the Roomba 4 times in the first 2 days of ownership. I laugh and laugh. Thanks, Mom and Dad!
