Roomba iRobot Discovery Vacuum Review

I love, love, love this vacuum.  We recently adopted a 75 pound long haired German Shepard and he sheds like crazy.  My kids were covered in dog hair all the time and I was spending a fortune on tape rollers to remove the hair.  I did not have time to vacuum my entire house on a daily basis (who does).  We thought let's give the roomba a try but heard so many mixed reviews we were afraid to make the investment.  Finally, we couldn't take it anymore and broke down and purchased it.  WOW!!! No more hairy kids.  Now if you are looking for a vacuum that cleans that has outstanding performance this is not the vacuum.  I still use my upright every other week.  This is a vacuum to do in between deep cleaning.  You can't beat the convenience.  It is an absolute time saver.  Make sure you read the instructions particularly regarding getting the most out of the battery.  If you follow the instructions you will get a long life out of the battery.  If not you will spend a fortune replacing the battery.  Other than that if you are on the fence go ahead and buy the Roomba.  You will not be disappointed.
