iRobot 400 Vacuum Review

Well I purchased the irobot 400 a couple of years after it came out, at Sears on black Friday. The idea of a robotic vaccume fascinated me, and I thought that if it actually worked, it would be worth the money. I lived in an 1100 square foot two bedroom apartment, and had one cat. The vaccume work pretty well at first. My carpets were very clean. However, here is a list of the MANY downsides to this robotic vaccume:

1. You have to pick absolutely evrything up off the floor so that it does not get caught in the vaccume (not good for when you're short on time)

2. It fills up very quickly, so you have to dump it frequently.

3. It gets stuck ging over thresholds.

4. It moves in a strange zig-zag patttern, which causes it to miss some spots

5. You have to replace the parts VERY often in order for it to work properly, and the parts are very expensive!

6.  Works slowly

7. No attatchments

8. Unable to do stairs
