Best Roomba for me

6 years ago

I don't know if this is appropriate for houzz, but I always get great advice. I want a Roomba. I don't need the highest end, most high-tech, or expensive model. I just want something that will keep up with white dog hair on dark hardwood floors between cleans. It doesn't have to do carpets. I just need a quick pass over the hardwoods. I have four pets. One of them is a large white dog who sees shedding as a competition sport. I'm sure you can imagine the tumbleweeds of white hair on dark floors. I feel like a failure everyday I don't vacuum (Not really, but you know what I mean.). Thanks for any advice!

The eufy 11s gets good reviews and ratings, and is reasonably priced. Oddly, on Amazon it's cheaper to buy it with the replacement kit than by itself.

I own two which I know is a little ridiculous. My least expensive model is the Roomba 985 I got at Costco. It does a really nice job on my hardwood floors. For me, I wanted something that cleaned in straight lines because it was more efficient. With older Roombas (800 series or less) they kind of ping-pong around your rooms with no rhyme or reason. My last one had to be blocked into a room in order to ensure a thorough clean. So I blocked it into the family room one day, the kitchen the other. With the Roomba 985 I just have it charging between my main traffic areas and it will do my kitchen and family room without missing a beat. I know Costco had a Roomba for $300 but it didn't vac in straight lines so I just splurged and have no regrets.

There is a $100 deal off the S960 today (07/19/20) on QVC, actually (I am told) a $160 off value because the QVC has two walls vs the one that comes on iRobot. A friend is suggesting I buy this today.
