MoseySusan Posted November 22, 2021 Share #1 Posted November 22, 2021 Would one of these make a good Christmas present for someone I know who likes a tidy house and likes gadgets? It seems like a reasonable intersection of the two preferences. Unless, it doesn’t keep the floor tidy or it’s a persnickety gadget. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I heard a horror story where a dog pooped in the house and the roomba then spread it all over. Long shot, but bad news! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChrisL Posted November 22, 2021 Share #4 Posted November 22, 2021 My wife & I have considered getting one. We have Smokey over 2-3 times a week and his hair is everywhere. We also put down mats at the doorways but we seem to track a lot of outside inside still. Having installed LVT throughout we can let it roam the house.

I have no personal knowledge of how well it works, but I suspect it must be somewhat effective or they wouldn't bother. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My neighbour has 5 of them. 1 in use and 4 in various states of repair. Apparently Golden Retrievers hair can choke them out! 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoseySusan Posted November 23, 2021 Author Share #11 Posted November 23, 2021 We don’t have pets, so poop isn’t a concern. Does the robot manage the transition from flooring to rug and back? How about beneath chairs underneath a table? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zephyr Posted November 23, 2021 Share #12 Posted November 23, 2021 I do. We have one, it works well and is nice to turn on when I am at work. We have to make sure all the chairs around the table before we start. They do not work as well as me pushing a vacuum around, but I will admit we vacuum more often with it than we did with our regular vacuum 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
