Irobot Roomba Model 581 Trial Week

A friend owns a IRobot Roomba Model 581 since early this year. I have, been contemplating in getting one since early this year!!!

I already knew I wanted to get a robot vacuum cleaner, but just didnt know which one, which model or brand. I did a lot of research, survey and even wanted to lug one back from the States.

Then my friend offered me to try her unit for a week and see how it goes. 

According to my friend, she is not fully satisfied with the Irobot as she is a super clean person. She tested with intelligent vacuum n seems that it failed her.

So I had the robot in my house for 1 week. In fact, still in my house. On the first week, I used it 3 times.

I had to shut the kitchen door. Confined the robot to the tv area 

 Robot in-action




 Collected dust.hair, etc

 Even tissue paper captured

One week of dirt. 

Overall my experience, quite good. Fulfilled me 99%. 
I wonder if the Picabot can do the same with 70% less the cost?

  2. Ooi, why so dirty one? My pil got the I robot too, and now for their new house, they are looking for furnitures with at least 4 inch height to allow robot to move in and out freely.

    1. Hi, the friend above "Anette Kumiko" whom commented, she is using the deebot. Deebot is considered the mid-range vacuum.

      I am happily using the Iroomba. The one I am using is selling about RM2500. I got a second hand unit ;P
