Have you picked up a robot vacuum yet? If your answer is no, we have two more questions for you: Why not, and are you aware that Amazon is running a limited-time deal right now on an iRobot Roomba Q011 that is the perfect opportunity for you to turn over a big chunk of your housecleaning to a tireless machine so you can enjoy more free time? The iRobot Roomba Q011, now $170 (32%off) on Amazon, cleans hard surfaces and carpeted floors equally well, is amazingly easy to use and customize, self-charges, and is exactly what you need whether you’re in a large home or a small apartment.
What Makes the iRobot Roomba Q011 Such a Great Deal?
Simply put, the Roomba takes a tremendous amount of drudgery entirely out of your hands, turning vacuuming into an automated task requiring next to no intervention on your part. The Roomba goes from unboxing to attacking the dust and dirt on your floors in mere minutes. With the easily learned iRobot Home app, you can program your robot vac to clean some rooms and skip others, and you can set the day and time on a regular schedule. And if you need to change it, that’s easy too. Set it for Clean While I’m Away and you can come home to clean floors, which you can check in via the Clean Map report in the app which shows you where your Roomba did its work.
And the work it does is terrific — the Roomba’s smart navigation cleans in neat rows, with sensors helping to prevent it from banging into furniture or, worse, tumbling down the stairs. It’s low-profile enough to clean under many beds and other furniture, and the Edge-Sweeping Brush is far better at cleaning out corners and edges than your old-school push vacuum.
The Roomba runs for up to 2 hours on a single charge, and when its battery runs low, it smartly returns to its charging base on its own to recharge and, if it was not finished, return to action. It has 3 power levels, including quieter modes to let the Roomba do its chores while you’re watching TV or working from home.
The Roomba is to robot vacuums what Kleenex is to tissues, or Dumpster to large trash bins — you don’t ask if someone has a robot vac, you ask if they have a Roomba. And now you can have one for just $170, 32% off, while this limited-time Amazon deal is still running.
