I'm sorry to report that our experience with a Roomba (granted, 10 years ago) wasn't too good. It was INCREDIBLY loud, and would get caught in everything, stuck in rooms, bang into stuff, it was very frustrating. We had the most basic one, and I'm sure it's improved in recent years, but yeah, probably not doing that again.
Quoted from chad:Neat technology, but how hard is it to plug in the vac and do it yourself.? Let's not get America any lazier
Why spend time getting out the vacuum, moving all the furniture, tripping over the cord, wrapping it back up, moving from outlet to outlet, if there is a ready-made almost-automatic option available, that works while you are away from the house? That's not laziness, it's buying back time. That would be worth it to me, if the things worked as advertised.
Quoted from atrainn:I have a robot vacuum on every floor. Two of them are "dumb" and do just fine. My living room has a Deebot 900 (http://a.co/d/5OxXhYG), which I love. It maps the room and overall does a fantastic job. It's also $289 on amazon right now so I'm thinking about getting one for the basement to replace the dumb robo vacuum down there.
What are the "dumb" ones? I'm not clear on what that means
Quoted from Yelobird:By my definition the ones Without a sensing system or laser to know where they are going. Basically pinball off every wall like a childs toy hoping to find dirt.
LOL i like your choice of words!
Quoted from chad:Sure , but how often do you move the couch and items to vacuum? I understand pets dander and fur.
I need to introduce you to my wife
