I run mine every day. I know it's not going to get 100% of the house clean on the first pass, but as long as the house doesn't get dirtier than the Roomba can clean in one day, we're good. If the Roomba gets 50% of the house clean every day and the house only gets 25% dirtied every day, then every day my house gets 25% cleaner. It's a life saver with two shaggy dogs and hardwood floors.
If you run it very infrequently, it'll never have a chance to catch up. You also need to replace the filters every so often in order to keep the proper amount of suction.
- ghaff 8y agoDogs seem to be a common factor. Personally I’m not too fussy and just let my housekeeper handle things every couple of weeks. But with dogs you really do need to keep up.
- cr0sh 8y agoMy wife and I have bought 5 or 6 roombas over the last several years. We have a 2000sf house, and run the roomba multiple times a day. We run each one so often, that we generally replace the batteries and other parts in it multiple times until the machine finally dies in some weird manner. Our last one "died" when one of the photodetector sensors went out on it. I looked into fixing it, but it was one of those jobs that required you to take nearly half of the robot apart (and the screws are not all the same, and there were something like 40+ screws to juggle) just to solder in a small phototransistor. Without that part, the roomba just goes in a circle and then stops. Instead, we bought another, and that roomba ended up in my junk pile with the others (I'm slowly building a (broken) roomba army to take over the world - don't tell anyone)...
