Living in a household with six members results in perpetually dirty floors. Add two large fluffy cats and a dog into the mix, and the situation can be quite challenging.

Until recently, I would often overlook the mess until nightfall when it became too much to handle. The silver lining was that my floors would be spotless by morning.

That all changed when we welcomed the iRobot® Roomba® 870 into our home.

The iRobot® Roomba® 870 acts as a reliable aide in maintaining clean floors, every day (and any time).

• Experience unparalleled cleaning with the innovative AeroForce™ Performance Cleaning System. This is our most advanced vacuuming technology to date, offering five times the suction power and capturing up to 50% more dirt, dust, fur, and debris.
• Allow Roomba to take care of the dirty work. Simply press the Clean button or program Roomba to vacuum when it’s most convenient. There’s no need to look for Roomba—it automatically returns to its Home Base® to recharge after cleaning.
• Roomba sets the standard in robotic vacuuming. Its sleek design enables it to clean under furniture such as beds, tables, and cabinets while the spinning side brush effectively gathers dirt from edges and corners.

Given that we spend a lot of time in the kitchen, the Roomba’s ability to navigate under cabinets is a tremendous benefit. In the image above, you can spot Roomba in action. The little white arm extending outward is part of a spinning brush that helps collect debris lurking just out of reach. It works wonders!

Additional fantastic features of the Roomba 870 include:

• iAdapt® Responsive Navigation Technology equipped with cliff-detection sensors
• A generous HEPA filter that captures dust, allergens, and dander
• iRobot® XLife™ Extended Life Battery, allowing for twice the battery cycles
• Bin Full indicator light to alert you when the bin needs to be emptied
• Two Virtual Wall Barriers keep Roomba confined to the areas you wish to clean
• Maintenance-free Tangle-free AeroForce™ Extractors, making it easier for Roomba to deal with everyday dirt accumulation
• The large HEPA filter keeps your home free from dust, dander, and allergens—perfect for pet owners and allergy sufferers
• Easily start a cleaning cycle by pressing CLEAN or schedule Roomba for added convenience.

The Roomba has transformed my cleaning habits, allowing me moments to multitask or even take a well-deserved break. My floors have never been cleaner, and I couldn’t be happier as a mom.

I recorded a quick video showcasing the Roomba in action. Although it may sound a bit loud, it’s significantly quieter than my traditional vacuum.

In the video, you can observe the white sweeping arm at work as well as the virtual wall barrier by the staircase, which I utilized to keep Roomba from entering the living room.
