#Roomba #regular #vacuum
problem with roombas and similar robot cleaners is that they cannot clean into corners.
Sorry Lauren, I’m with Lauren on this one!
compares brand new roomba to an ancient dyson.… nice heavy slam on the counter… but modern Dysons (dyson v8 was around during this video) weighs 6 lbs vs a modern i7 roomba with wieghs 7.5 lbs… the newest dysons are lighter than a roomba…
I didn’t realize it was the same person until the end when I looked at the comments…
It would be nice to have one set to vacuum daily and a regular vacuum cleaner for deep cleaning once a week. My allergies might appreciate this. 🤔
Vacuum lady is funny
I vacuum regularly but I’m getting older. If you consider the cost of paying somebody to vacuum for you, that’s what would be a better comparison!
If you vacuum your curtains you’re not an adult try washing then you’re an adult
The machines are going to be slaves and not complain.
She is great, i thought she was twins! ”you l@@k like you maybe have a lot of pets/cats”
I use the remote to clean when I’m watching TV and the kids come home and I see dirt or sand or what ever they bring in on the floor. I pause the tv remote my Roomba over and clean up the mess without havi g to drag the vacuum out and plug it in and clean then pack it back in the closet. Also who vacuums under the couch of table in the kitchen or dinning room? My Room a does. I never named any tool or vacuum or even a car so no name here.
This is a glorified roomba commercial.
I ran my Roomba while cooking. I must admit,I felt pretty cool.
My roomba was 200$ about the same price of a mid level upright vacuum
WALLE — comes to mind for the future of humans!!
This comparison is invalid. Firstly the acting is pathetic and does not simulate real life. I mean, pulling the cord of a vacuum for no reason while frowning? Com on! Welcome to real life where people don’t do this. Plus that model is outdated, even for 2016!
Got Roomba 630 for 70$ cad. Only thing is side brush module needed replacement which cost 15$ with shipping
Sorry that cleaner cant do stairs
The stairs are important to clean the old fashion way is about the best in my view
We have 3 dysons a cordless and 2 cored ones I we called the Derick
Should re do this now that roombas cost $250 and have a sweeper thing to get in corners.
Had a roomba when they first came out. Expensive! Mum got a Dyson. Much easier. A mere human can operate a dyson with ease. Amazing, eh? Oh, yea,.…the dyson has some very user-friendly tools that can be used to clean difficult corners and nooks and crannies.
Nowadays (2020) you can get a great “off brand” roomba for less than $250 on amazon. We have kids and having it automatically clean the entire floor very night changed our lives! As for the 2nd floor it’s not hard to just bring it up the stairs and then let it do it’s thing 🤷🏻♂️ although we do the second floor only once a week since it stays cleaner.
I have a Shark IQ with a self-emptying base, no bags. I bought it “like new”, so I got hundreds of dollars off. Less than $300. I love the robot vacuum for the most part. Yes, it doesn’t do my blinds or my ceiling or my couch, but I love how clean my floors are. They aren’t as powerful as the regular vacuum, but the floors get done daily and I didn’t vacuum even once a week before. Very noticeable how much cleaner my floors are. Love it.
If your pet poops on the ground the Roomba will take it all over the place
Thanks i have work for it
wait..
This is the best comparison format.
Cool video, but does it keep your floors overall cleaner than normal?
Roomba is better for me, with WiFi

Like mine but you need regular vacuum for corners stairs etc
Great If you have a pet i have a cat
It’s best if you work hand in hand with robot vacuum.
I really miss Lauren.
I have both… because I dont have the time to vacuum daily… I use the robot daily, and then once a week do a better clean myself.

When are these two planning on making out? I’ve been watching for like 4 minutes already.
really
I got my roomba 690 for $30
I find the Roomba to be SUBSTANTIALLY better at cleaning. It is also way easier to maintain. It runs daily and maintains cleanliness much better than a regular vacuum. It is easy to clean the rollers and empty the bin (like clearing dryer lint).
Okay but if I have a roomba run every other day, then I have overall cleaner floors and no need for a bigger dustbin. Plus, it saves time as you yourself don’t have to vacuum yourself. But it isn’t something to use all alone, it is best to pair with a stick vacuum for above-floor cleaning.
plus I mean roborock have been making killer vac+mop combos
