iRobot Roomba i3

The iRobot Roomba i3 is good for bare floors. This vacuum feels very well-built, does a great job maneuvering itself around obstacles, and recharges very quickly. It's effective in cleaning small and bulky debris from bare floors, though it struggles somewhat when dealing with pet hair. It also incurs high recurring costs.
