Perhaps running the vacuum is something that you enjoy…there’s a good chance that’s not true though. Often times cleaning and especially vacuuming is a time consuming task that we have to overlook in order to get other, more important, tasks accomplished. That’s where the iRobot Roomba 761 Vacuum Cleaning Robot comes in! This little guy is fantastic. I’ve always heard about the Roomba vacuums but never really gave it much thought. Now that I have had the chance to test one out for myself I can see what all the hype is about.
iRobot Roomba 761 Review
Right out of the box the iRobot Roomba 761 Vacuum Cleaning Robot was a pleasure to work with. It was super simple to set up; it takes just moments to program and ready the bot for vacuuming!
Another great thing is that it had enough charge to run for a bit right away. When I bring home a new appliance or device I want to test it out right away; the iRobot Roomba 761 requires about 12 hours for a full charge but out of the box we were able to set it up and test it out for a while before we had to charge it. I like that I can see how it works and get a sense of its abilities immediately without waiting overnight to try it out!
This particular model was lightweight but that didn’t stop it from doing a great job of cleaning. While the iRobot Roomba 761 Vacuum Cleaning Robot was vacuuming for me I was able to do some laundry and get started on dinner for the family. I love that it is quiet and recognizes corners and obstacles on its own. I always imagined that these cleaning robots would get stuck and need a lot of attention but this one did not! It works well on its own and didn’t require extra attention from me!
If you are not technologically inclined, fear not! Aside from the fact that the iRobot Roomba 761 was super easy to set up it also comes with a great manual to show you how to set up and operate the vacuum correctly! There are no ambiguous directions to fumble with and the manual lets you see that you have done it either correctly or incorrectly, making the process smoother and less of a hassle. When it’s not hard at work, I leave it charging on the docking station so it’s always ready! Check the following video I took.
Finally, the packaging is great! It’s not often that I receive a product anymore that is packaged well. The iRobot Roomba 761 Vacuum Cleaning Robot comes in attractive packaging! It is great if you are offering the iRobot to a loved one.

Have you ever used an iRobot product? Was it a vacuum cleaning robot? What could you do while the iRobot Roomba 761 does your vacuuming?
This was the best gift I’ve ever received. It was one of the first models but unfortunately 3 dogs, 3 cats, 2 horses and 4 kids kind of sent it to an early grave. I’ve never been able to replace it but someday I will own another one.
I’d love to try one of these since I’m not convinced about how well they work.
I have always wished for one of these. I just hate the time it takes to get the vacuum out and set up
I have heard of this before! I bet life would be so much easier with this! I know what i want for christmas ;)
I have always wanted a Roomba because we have so much dog hair all over our wood floors.
My sister in law had one running around the last time we visited. Doing all of her work, lol. It was awesome. :)
I do not have one of these personally but a friend of mine does. She likes to turn it on when she is bust straightening up downstairs and it works really well.
I have always wanted one of these vacuums. The iRobot Roomba 761 sounds amazing and I like that when setting it up it tells you if you got it right or not. It is very convenient and something I have on my Christmas list for sure.
I’ve always wanted one of these! They are so cool. Maybe I’ll put this on my wish list.
I have always wanted one of these. I think it would be great if I could have one because of all of the dog hair in my home that I am constantly picking up!
I’ve never had an iRobot product, but I certainly would love to have that. Then I can do other stuff while it’s doing the vacuuming for me.
I need one of these so bad! We have two cats and I am always sweeping up all the hair. I would love to sit back and read a book while the Roomba cleans my foor.
I want one of these soooo bad!! I think this would help me out a lot since I’m not home much this would come in so handy! Floors are one of the things I hate doing…LOL!
have always wondered if thee REALLY work! I have a huge house and how many times would this have to be emptied before it cleaned all my floors??
Oh my, I like this iRobot Vacuum Cleaner! It’s awesome! I really need this at home.
I heard great things about Roomba! We have a big open space in our house and a cleaning machine like this will surely make our house chores lighter. :)
Although I don’t solely depend on my Roomba to vacuum my whole house, it’s definitely wonderful to have for those quick messes! It’s perfect when I don’t feel like messing with a cumbersome vacuum.
I have been wanting to a roomba, but I have been hesitating as I am a renter and the hard wood floors need to be sanded and polished, I am afraid a roomba might not run on my floors until I have that done. As soon as I do, IT’S SO ON!!! LOL :-)
Err mah gosh…I’ve always wanted one of these! They’re just a bit above my price range though since I’m not sure how we’ll they’d work in a house with pets.
This looks so cool! Roomba does sounds like a very good house cleaner, I have to add this to my Christmas wishlist!
I have always wondered about these. I’m so happy that it works well for you. I actually don’t mind vacuuming. I just need a better one for the stairs.
These are so cool. The fact that it can get underneath the furniture to clean up the cat hair makes it amazing. I wonder how our cat would react to it though!
Everyone needs a Roomba – they’re amazing! I love ours. Really, they make life SO much easier. And they’re compact, so storing them isn’t an issue. We had our plugged in under a dresser for awhile — when it was done, it went right back to the charger and it was completely out of sight! Perfect :-)
I have always wanted to check this out. I vacuum every day and we have hardwood floors. We have tons and dog fur and I burn out vacuums like it’s cool.
A friend of mine want one of this Roomba. Sounds like a great one to have at home.
My hubby and I were just talking about getting one of these last night. We want to get a new dog, but don’t want the fur to be everywhere. This would be PERFECT!
I would absolutely LOVE an iRobot. It would be so much nicer to let it roam around the house than having to manually vacuum.
My sister in law has one and it seems pretty cool. Her cats HATE it, though. LOL.
This has to be the coolest vacuum ever! I’d love to have this in my house.
Your review on the Roomba makes me want to go get this model. It really looks like a time saver and does a great job cleaning all kinds of floor surfaces too.
I love my roomba! It is a big helping hand while cleaning!
I would love to have a Roomba! With two young children, it would definitely get a good bit of use and make my life a whole lot easier.
I love the idea of a Roomba! Sounds like it would do a great job of keeping the house cleaner with less work from me.
I hadn’t really considered how heavy a vacuum cleaner can be until I was at my mom’s while she tried to vacuum while recovering from surgery (don’t worry, I finished for her!!!). This is definitely something she needs.
I have always wanted to get one of these! I will have to give my hubby a hint for a Christmas present!
My husband bought one of these for us about a year ago. Best purchase ever!
We have the roomba and love it! With four kids, including toddler twins, running around – it comes in handy A LOT!
Thanks so much for the review on the Roomba! I have wanted to try one out for a long time but like you, thought it would turn out to need a lot of attention to keep running. I’m definitely going to look into getting one more seriously now! ;)
I have always wanted to try a Roomba. We have such a big open space downstairs in our kitchen/great room that it would be awesome to have it just run and not worry. My sister in law has one and has nicknamed hers, she loves it so much. haha
