Roomba Discovery SE: Flagship of the Roomba Fleet

The iRobot Roomba Discovery SE is, hands down, one of the best robotic vacuums on the market. iRobot invented robotic vacuums, so they know what they're doing with their Roomba vac family, from Discovery SE to the inexpensive Roomba Red. Consumer reports and user reviews consistently sing the praises of every model, their accessories, and their handy features. If you're looking for information on these personal robots for you and your family, you've come to the right place.

Roomba floorvacs: more than funny robots

iRobot's Roombas may be fun to watch, but their purpose is a serious one: they want to get rid of the dust and dirt on your floors. Although they're quiet and use a low-power vacuum system, they do at least as good a job as uprights and floorvacs costing much more. No, that wasn't a misprint; while Roombas are bona-fide robots, even the most expensive model costs just $300. The price is part of the charm, as most reviews will tell you. Who knew you could buy a robot that vacuums for you for just a few hundred bucks? Robotic or not, a top-notch vacuum is a steal at that price; and don't forget, you can buy a Roomba Red model for much less. How does $149 sound?

Accessories information

Right about now, you're probably thinking: iRobot really sticks it to you for accessories and replacement parts, right? Nope! Accessories and parts for your Roomba vacuum cleaner, from filters to chargers, are priced reasonably. For example, you can get a device that projects a "virtual wall" to rein in your robot for $29.99. Filterpacks go for less than $15, and battery upgrades run about $50. At prices like those, it's easy to stock up for future needs.
