Does anyone feel these things suck? Not in a good way. I've had a hoover since i moved out after college 15 years ago. Dudes a beast. My wife wanted a robot we got maybe a year ago and it barely does it job at best. Constantly replacing parts, frequent disruptions, and got like 600 sq ft on our main floor to clean. Way too much work and when it does work it may get the top layer of dirt but it doesn't feel clean. I can spend 20 min vacuuming the whole house with my regular vacuum and it feels and smells clean for several days. I hope these robots get better but I'm not a fan right now.

sbv@sh.itjust.works · 15 pts · 2y (4 replies)

I only vacuum/sweep when the drifts of dust and hair become tripping hazards. A $300ish iRobot does a crappy job, but it runs regularly. I just need to empty the bin once every few days.

It works pretty well for me.

tjhart85@kbin.social · 6 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Same, mines like a $40 one from a few years back on black friday. Does it do a great job? No, each individual run is objectively not good and it misses some stuff, but over the course of a week it averages out to pretty freaking great and all I've gotta do is empty its bin when I get home from work at least once or twice. 10/10, would recommend and seeing the amount of cat hair its picked up is pretty disgusting.

Evotech@lemmy.world · 3 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Do you have one that just moves randomly around or one which maps your room?

tjhart85@kbin.social · 4 pts · 2y (1 reply)

It doesn't map, just makes a bunch of straight lines throughout the room and goes around things it bumps into.

Evotech@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Yeah those are pretty meh. The ones that map the room and goes over it all systematically are drastically more efficient for sure

Voyajer@lemmy.world · 8 pts · 2y

They don't really clean floors by themselves, they're more designed to maintain an already clean floor.

dingus@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 2y (3 replies)

Do you have a lot of carpet? Tbh they seem to work best if you have non carpeted floors. Also, there are a zillion robot vacuums out there and the lowest pricing tier sucks major ass unfortunately. If you're not looking to spend at least $250, anything below that isntrash and absolutely not worth owning at all.

MisterChief@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y (2 replies)

Main floor is about 600 sq ft. I'd say 40% is carpeted. It's a pretty normal carpet, not shag but not that super short stuff.

We actually went with a nicer one because we had just adopted a puppy and wanted one that wouldn't smear shit all over the house in case the dog went inside. It was an irobot brand, it was about $500.

Chee_Koala@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 2y

Dang, that sucks :(. I convinced my mom to get one and, although it's far from perfect, after some startup period where it didn't know the good routes through the home it's working consistently great (iRobot J7+ i think). it now saves her and her cleaning help a ton of time
