where can i find info on the Roomba?

Question

I am thinking about buying one, but i know it doesnt take too long for our upright vaccuum to become full (lots of dog fur). I live in a one bedroom studio apt with my wife and our two medium sized dogs. Due to the constant temperature changes from Texas heat to apt AC or Texas freeze to apt warmth they are always shedding and i would like to have the thing just vaccuum while i am at work since I really dont have time between school, a 40hr job, and homework to vaccuum. My main concern is that the vaccuum would get full after a few minutes and become useless until emptied. Does anyone know the how much it can hold, how strong is the suction, which model to purchase, and where i can see a demonstration.

Hi there,
I bought a Roomba several years ago and I absoultely love it! It is great for anyone who is too busy or just doesn't like to do floors. The model I have is called Roomba Red, although I know there are several more models out there. In general, I do know that they are all more or less the same, with slight variations on the controls/buttons. Roomba has a collection bin that holds apx 1.5 to 2 cups of debris (just a guess on my part). If your floor is REALLY dirty, covered with hair, I would suggest supervising the Roomba the first time you use it, because it quite possibly may need to be emptied out several times to get the job done. However, once the bulk of the floor debris has been removed, the Roomba should do fine on its own during regular vaccuumings. The only other continual maintenance I would suggest, is if your wife has long hair (like I do) it may have a tendency to get wrapped around the rolling brushes on the bottom of the Roomba, and need to be cleaned out more than once during a cleaning cycle, depending on how often you vaccuum. Roomba is a really technologically advanced device. It has a mathematical equation programmed into it, so it knows exactly what it will take to really clean your floors. It will keep on going until it determines that the floor is done, or it runs the battery low, whichever happens first. Below I have listed the website that I found documented in the instructions to my Roomba. Good luck, I hope this has been useful to you.
