nodle Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Does have a Roomba or a similar robot vacuum cleaner? I saw a generic one yesterday and it seemed pretty cool. Seems like the official Roombas are the top of the line though. I don't think they are a full replacement for a vacuum cleaner, but for some quick detailing here in there it looks like they would work quite well. They even have ones that mop for you now. https://www.irobot.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndboarder Posted November 29, 2021 Share Posted November 29, 2021 The vacuums work pretty well; however floors have to be generally clean and obstacles removed. If you have kids and toys all over a floor, having any kind of schedule isn't going to work well, as you would need to go around and pick up most things on the floor before it runs. They don't have the brush or suction power of a good upright, but if ran often enough keeps things pretty clean. Wouldn't work in our place, but have some older relatives that rely on these now rather than having to lug/push around a heavy vacuum. The ones where the charging dock also empties the canister are even better, since it makes it even simpler to use, and if you have a real large / dirty space it can empty itself part way through and then resume rather than waiting on human intervention to empty it before continuing.

If you have kids and toys all over a floor, having any kind of schedule isn't going to work well Well this is the story of my life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ndboarder Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Well this is the story of my life. Yep, and just like using a normal vacuum, you'd have to pick up their stuff before it could really do the job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nodle Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 Ran the Roomba the first time tonight. Pretty awesome! I ran it for just 15 minutes to see how it was going to work, and how it would find its way home. It sure enough did. I also emptied the compartment to see what it picked up. Crazy for just 15 minutes what it picked up. Awesome technology and I highly approve. Especially if you have a lot of hard wood floors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodle Posted December 27, 2021 Author Share Posted December 27, 2021 You forgot the part about having to vacuum before you vacuumed. Wanted to see what it would pick up vs. a regular vacuum. Pretty impressed by it to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nodle Posted February 2 Author Share Posted February 2 My office environment is very dirty here. The vacuum has only run twice in the evenings and it's doing an awesome job. A great investment here at work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
