Back when I was getting married, my husband and I put two Roombas on our registry. In our heads, we wanted them to fight. Our guests probably realized our dreams of hosting our own version of BattleBots and chose other things to gift us instead. At that point in our lives, maybe we just weren't ready.
That said, robot battles aside, I understood why we didn't get one. Roombas and other robotic vacuums can be very expensive. When we eventually welcomed one into our lives, it was due to a deal we couldn't pass up. And now, Amazon is offering a similar type of deal on the Roomba 960 model.
This particular model is one of the best models if you have pets around. If you're battling a major pet hair issue in your home, the Roomba will help you keep things manageable. This model has also proved to fight against allergens. According to Amazon, the Roomba 960 eliminates up to 99% of all allergens and pollen. Since spring starts next month, it'd be good to get a handle on your pollen situation now.
All of that said, the Roomba has made a huge difference in terms of housekeeping . This model maps out your floor plan and works with Alexa, meaning that vacuuming will become your easiest chore to maintain. Once you have a robot vacuum in your life, there's literally no turning back.
