Ha, I wish that was universally true. My girlfriend's hair is long and insanely strong. It wraps around the rollers and cuts right through them.
Still love the Roomba, but often need to replace rollers. :)
- TacticalCoder 5y agoWe all have the same problems! Roomba 765 (a bit old and noisy, there are quieter models) since two years here: cat and SO's long hairs so I regularly need to use scissors to "free" the rollers. Thing with the robovacs here: when you empty their bin and see how much dust they catched, you know they're very useful. We buy (and I build) furnitures and arrange our home so that the Roomba can go underneath them. I wouldn't for example buy a sofa under which the Roomba couldn't vaccuum.
- samsolomon 5y agoWhat model do you have? Perhaps I should have clarified that only the newer i3, i7 and s9 are the models that use the new brushroller design. Otherwise you'll still be cutting hair out of the rollers.
- jakogut 5y agoI have the Amazon special i6+ (which is the same as the i7+, but sold by Amazon, similar to Costco's i8+). Also, one of my favorite things about it is hearing the base spinning up like a jet engine to suck all the crap out of it, and hearing it go FOOMP.
