Roomba intruder!

So I found out today that my roomba isn't PIR friendly !!!



Luckily it had moved out into the main part of the living room while I
was still outside the house ... then all hell broke loose.



I guess it runs a little warm - enough to trigger a non-pet immune PIR
:-(



Any thoughts on Roomba occupancy detection ;)



Paul.

It will clean that room without running out of charge.

It won't clean the rug - you'll have to pick it up, and put it out of
the way :-(

Amar,

The wood flooring should work very well... it certainly does in the
nursery. The only concern would be the rug - as long as it's not deep
pile, and doesn't have tassles, you're OK.

I'd suggest that you should run it for about 45 minutes.

The big difference with a Roomba, is that hoovering is simply a matter
of putting the thing in the room, pressing the go button, and wandering
off to do something else.

As a result of this, we've already found that setting the beast running
somewhere in the house is now part of the morning routine... so the
house is cleaned more frequently than before.

M.

all you guys that have the roomba

My living room is about 25ft x 18ft



how long would it take for the roomba to clean this room.

it is wood flooring with one small rug in the room.



I just want to know if it is worth me getting one as

we have to constantly hoover  the floor

      >> Truly excellent.

      Same level of WAF here, she loves it.  Especially as we left it
cleaning

      the lounge yesterday morning and when she got home from work it
had stopped

      right in front of the fireplace like a curled up cat.
