I absolutely love my robot vac. I have to share something terrible that happened to my first one! I had it programmed to vacuum every day at 3:00 so I’d come home to a nice vacuumed house. Well one day my dog was not feeling well and the vacuum went off as scheduled and spread you know what everywhere! It was like Armageddon!!! We had to throw out all area rugs and the vacuum! Just be careful if you have a dog! I now check everywhere before running mine🤣

These are all excellent valid points and anyone considering getting a smart robot vacuum should recognize the potential problems.

We have mitigated most of these, but going in you should recognize there’s going to be a learning curve and effort on your part if you want a successful deployment of a robot vacuum.

It’s understandable that some people find the hassle is not worth the convenience, but for us, it’s been a A real help in keeping the dust cleaned up off the floors. I think robot vacuums work best for those who don’t have Carpet. Although, there are some models that are specifically made for cleaning carpet.

We have a Roborock S3 going on 3 years and love it. Do recommend getting a smart vacuum that you can control with your phone. Another great feature is one that lets you put in electronic markers, that will block off areas where the vacuum cannot go.

Thanks for summarizing the issues.

Rookie mistake...

First rule of getting on the floor is making sure you have a plan on how you're going to get up!

I love it! I have a dog and every time we go for a walk I turn it on and picks up all the dog hair

We have the shark vacuum. It empties itself and it has a mechanism that prevents hair from building up on the roller.

Wyze, terrific software, maps the whole house then let's you select which rooms to clean. May be on sale now too

Room a is junk. The batteries are expensive and do not last long at all. We had to raise our club chairs and a couch because the fool Roomba would get stuck under them. It also had an unnatural affinity for a pedestal table. And to make matters worse, it would get clogged with cat hair. Useless.
