M S Loves Rumba!!!
 

I received a Robot Rumba sweeper for Christmas, from DD. One thing lead to another and I didn't open it until last week, when my little light sweeper, pooped out.

It was Mother's day, so DD opened it and set it up for me....bless her heart. Well, let me tell you, I never thought I'd love again, but, :holysheep: I'm in Lurve!!!!!

This is the most amazing piece of computerized, automated equipment I have received since My PC!:cool: I just love it love it love it. I named it "legs", in loving memory of the legs, I used to have, pre MS..:D

Legs takes off from it's little base and goes lickity split, from edge to edge, side to side, back and forth and around and around, until the carpet is clean and then it goes back, dutifully :Tip-Hat:, to it's home base to rev up for another trip.:yahoo:

I just wanted to share my exuberance, with you, my Buds..:Excited:

We gave one to my DH's mother for Christmas since she can't get around too well. She is in love too!! She calls her rumba Bob. :)

You guys are too funny! :hug:

Wait -- you're sharing your Exuberants? I had some Turbulents once, but would love to try what you've got, Sally.

Are they good with choccy syrup??? :D

I've wanted to get a Roomba for years. But, I had a 100+ pound dog that loved to chase things down to kill it.

So, we've never gotten a Roomba. I'm now dogless and would really like a Roomba for the basement (where I live) of my parents house.

Are they loud? What's the sucking power of the Roomba? Does the carpeting end up with nice little vacuum lines in the plies of the carpet, kind of like a lawn mower does to grass??

I wonder if they sell remote control ones. I'd have fun playing with a Roomba if they were remote controlled.

I've been thinking of renaming mine, Sven, BGB...LOL

Yes Erin too all your questions and it is not loud and it does use a remote. You can start and stop and send it back to it's dock at anytime. Oh and Pal loves it, but stays out of it's way...LOL

I bought one and most of my carpet pyle was to thick so I gave it to my daughter. Of course that was way to many years ago and they may have improved on it. I do wish I could see how my cat would react to it.

I Wonder....
 

...if this would be good for my mother. She doesn't get around well...

How often does it run it's course? Is it pretty quiet??

I AM HAPPY FOR YOU!!! CHRISTMAS IN MAY!!! PRETTY NICE!!! :cool2:

Friend, you can set it to run at different times or you can just run it when you wish by pushing the remote "clean" button.

It's not loud at all. My other sweeper scares the dog, but this one doesn't. I think he loves it too...LOL

Wow I would love to have one. But, Sage would tear it apart.

She goes after everything that I use on the floor, even when I am
using a paper towel to wipe a spill on the floor which is usually her
water.

Glad you have a new playmate :D



Jappy :hug:

Anything to make life easier, Sal. Glad you like it. I have hard wood floors. Does Sven work on them??? Also, what about getting it around to different rooms? Do you just pick it up and place it in another room? (aka dining room from living room)

I'm kinda thinking I'd like one, too.

Stay tuned, DM..:) It took me 4 months to get Sven out of the box and I haven't read all the directions. I know it has little sentrys to keep it from going someplace you don't want it to go. :cool:

This may take all Summer..LOL!

I've been so curious about the Rumba. How does it do with pet hair Sal?

How's Sven at "back rubs Sal"? I'm a little stiff and sore tonight! :D

Put some dirt on your back and Sven will probably go to town. It stays in one spot and goes in circles untill the dirt is gone..:D

Jessie, It does well on the little dog hair I have...Pal doesn't shed much.:)
