Can someone please share top 10 Consumer Report recommendation for Vacuum Cleaner? (Carpet & Floor Cleaning)?



I don’t know about the Consumer Report but the Carpet and Rug institute has a grading system with a lot of choices that have been tested and passed certain tests.

This is the most reliable org in the US. They are the marketing trade association for the Carpet Manufacturers in the US…..it is in their best interest to find solutions to your issues with carpet.

Has anybody tried the Roomba robot vaccuum cleaner?


It's a small robot which vaccuums the room apparently. Does it work? I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who bought one.

I've got a Roomba. It works well on wood, vinyl or linoleum floors. 90% of my house has hardwood floors and it works great at picking up dirt and hair.

I have a dog that sheds a lot and her hairs are about 2 – 3 inches long, which is long enough to wind up over time around the wheels and brushes of the roomba, so these periodically have to be cleaned out. This still beats sweeping every day.

When it comes to cleaning carpet, my roomba only does so on the low pile foot mats inside the front and back doors. It does this fairly well, but I can tell it wouldn't be as effective on thicker carpets.

Basically it's a floor sweeper with a minimal amount of vacuum suction. I like mine quite a bit and would recommend it to anyone who has a lot of wood or linoleum flooring to clean, not so much to someone whose home is carpeted.

Do Roomba vacuums really work? Which one is best for pets?

I was thinking of buying one for my mother as a christmas gift, but I'm skeptical. Do they actually work as well as a regular vacuum? What about pet hair? Do you have to empty it constantly?
Are they loud? Do they make noise at all? There are several models- which is best?

I own a Roomba, which I have had for about three years now. They do work well, and I use mine as a backup for my regular vacuuming. I have a dog and four cats. so I do have to use an uptight vacumn about one per week due to all the shedding.

The Roomba works great as a touch up vacumn, in my case. If I did not have pets, it would definitely be my first choice as a vacumn. I work with a lot of disabled people, who swear by the Roomba.

On those days that you just are too tired after work to vacumn, but your floors are a bit messy, it can be a special treat to watch the Roomba spinning around the floor and getting one of those ever-ongoing household chores done for you.

They do have a smaller dirt collection chamber than average vacuums, I have to empty mine once it has completed two or three rooms, depending on the degree of dirt. It only takes a few seconds, to remove the collection chamber, empty it and replace it; so your Mom would not have a problem emptying it at all.

If you do decide to purchase one for your Mom for a Christmas gift, make sure that she leaves it on the charger for the recommended amount of time before the first use, or it will not remained charged correctly. The initial charging takes a longer amount of time than subsequent ones.

It is a lot of fun to be working on other household chores while the Roomba is working away. It is even more fun to be sitting reading a book or watching a movie while the Roomba is working away. Have a good night.

The light on my virtual wall for my Roomba Red is blinking, how can I get it to stop?

I already changed the batteries, but it is still blinking? Any ideas what might be wrong?

It is probably just a malfunction. I have an air purifier that won't stop blinking after it told me to change filters.

Do you have an owners manual that has a trouble shooting page.

How cool that you have a robotic vacuum!

If I buy an irobot roomba from a random source online (a seller through Amazon.com), will the warranty apply?

I can buy a new, never opened irobot roomba through Amazon.com, cheaper than through the irobot website. Will there be a warranty in place?

Since it is new in the box, all of the warranty information will be inside so that you can register it with the company and the warranty will be effective.

Does the ROOMBA really work that good?

Anyone own the ROOMBA programable vacummn? If so is it worth buying? I was thinking of getting one b/c I thought it would lighten my load. I'm one of those people who…stayed home to bake cookies!!! (Remember Hillary's slam at homemakers?)
But I digress.

I have a Roomba Discovery and I love it! It cleaned better than any vacuum that I have ever owned. It does take longer that a traditional vacuum, because it will vacuum until it detects no more dirt (it had dirt sensors).I have not found the longer cleaning time to be a problem because my carpets are never really dirty. You don't actually have to spend time vacuuming your carpets, so it is not a big deal to vacuum a room every day (or as often as you need). You just press the button and go! The Roomba will clean the floor and then return to its home base to recharge for the next use.(Most of the newer models come with a home base, but you can buy one separately.)
You have to pick up the room and move wires just like you would with a regular vacuum, but the Roomba will go around large items like laundry hampers, etc.
To keep a Roomba cleaning most efficiently you need to change the filter and clean the brushes. Most Roomba models come with at least 2 filters. You can toss them and get new ones, but I just take out the dirty one and replace it with a clean one, then I wash the dirty filter gently with soap and water and let dry, then it is ready the next time I need to change the filter. To clean the brushes I recommend using the cleaning tool. Most Roombas come with one, but you can also buy one for under $5.00. The cleaning tool makes cleaning the brushes a snap. I generally clean my brushes weekly, but your need to clean them may be less. ( I have 3 cats and there are three girls with long hair).

iRobot has great customer service. The web site has great trouble shooting tips, and if you have a problem within your warranty period (1yr. on most models) iRobot will ship you a NEW, not rebuilt, robot.

I have found my Roomba and Scooba (also a wonderful product) to be the biggest time saver ever! The very best thing is being able to vacuum my kids playroom overnight. I just turn the Roomba on before I go upstairs for the night, and when I get up the floor is clean and my Roomba is on the home base, charged and ready to vacuum my bedroom while I play with my kids! The kids don't have to wait for mommy to vacuum the playroom before they can play anymore! Also, because it is bag less if you should happen to vacuum up a beloved Lego, etc. it is easy to retrieve.

P.S. I am one of those people like you…make bread from scratch, home maker, etc.

Will Roomba cleaning system work in India. Is there somebody who is using Roomba in India?

The problem is in India we use Vertified tiles and marbles as flooring. Also the amount of Dust is so high than here in US!
If somebody using can you provide your views?

I’m sure it would work in India. I don’t know why it wouldn’t as long as you have the appropriate electrical adapter to charge up the battery.
