Robo-vacuum

[seminolewind]

I had extra "Amazon" money so I ended up buying one  of those round vacuum things that runs around the house.  Thoughts.  I have darkish floors and it works well on picking up dust and crumbs so the floors look great.  It runs for 90 minutes and I have no idea how it decides the pattern it cleans on.  We have to move things around a bit so it doesn't get stuck or gobble cords.


I'm sure my floors will need a damp mop now and then and the corners everywhere wiped.  It cleans surface dirt on the rugs but they probably need a good vacuuming at times as well.  So it does a good job in between major cleanings.  It's entertaining. It finds it's way back to the charger.  On occasion it's not so smart and can't work itself out of a tight spot but not enough to be annoying.


This one sells for $200.  An acquaintance of mine has an $800 one that he can track, change directions on his cell phone.  And it tells him what's been done or not.  Kinda interesting.

I's kindof a novelty.  Works well on floors but superficial on rugs. 

Would I buy again?  I don't know.  It does work especially on bare floors.  It does do rugs.  It extends the time between real cleanings and is great before company coming.

Of course! Large poodle, thinks she's a lap dog. And she does find the robo-vacuum interesting, LOL

Yeah... about the dog... the roomba will smear dog poop all over if the dog poops in the house.... someone on Facebook posted what happened after the dog pooped on the rug during the night right before the roomba turned on.. lets just say the carpets were alll brown in all rooms...
