Anyone use a robotic vacuum cleaner?

[moog5050]

My son bought the Shark AI RV2001 for our house today.  I am absolutely amazed by this thing.  I am a bit OCD about a clean house and we have a dog and 3 cats so daily vacuuming is needed to avoid pet hair.   This little machine mapped the whole house (ranch) in like 10 min and did a really good job of powering through everything - tile, hardwoods, carpet and even shag area rugs.  I told my son it would not likely work and be ready to return it.  Boy was I wrong.  It is the bomb.   Program it for a daily cleaning and it should make life much easier.  It docks and undocks itself for charging.   Highly recommended, especially if you live in a ranch.

Our new home (ranch) is 99% carpet so thanks for the tip I may take a look. 
I have to say our last home was 98% hardwoods and tile. I’m really liking all the carpet in our new home, easy on your feet, quiet and I think it makes the house feel warmer.

We have a shark vacume, the kind you have to push yourself.

It really sucks!

So I just searched it on Amazon and it says I can control via Alexa, bonus!!

I never thought it would have the power to do what it does.   I now wish I bought the next model up that also dumps the canister on its own.  But I guess I can live with doing that every day or two.

You can program it on an app.   Set it for a daily vacuum, at your selected time or hit clean whenever you want a spruce up and even select specific rooms after mapping if you like.

We have a pretty dumb roomba that just wanders around the first floor of our house for an hour a day.  There’s a lot of stuff in it when we empty it, so I guess that means it works.

This one goes row by row in each room or space.  Even leaves nice lines like Bizs yard.

I've been thinking about getting one. Three large dogs equals a lot of dog hair.

my buddy has one programs it to run at night any way one of his older dogs had an accident during the night the vacuum spread that s**t all over the house i laughed so hard, but the vacuum did keep working after getting hit with pressure washer

Not a robot....Bit I just bought a shark and love it...

[First-light]

My buddy has 4 dogs the robot vacuum gets destroyed by the dog hair. Constantly replacing it at Cotsco which they gladly take back.

My neighbors have on of the robot lawnmowers ,it leaves the grass really tall and just drives around in no particular pattern , ive seen it out there in dark when im leaving for work .

I’ve had/used Roombas before. They work pretty well, but when you forget to clean them out, it can become a little bit of a pain, because they won’t run. The next one I will Get will be one with the auto emptying option. I think It’s the Roomba 7 that does that. I will have to look at the Shark ones though, I have A Shark vacuum and it’s by far the best regular vacuum I’ve ever had.

I got Curious and looked at Sharks site. They have an auto emptying one. Nice.

I got a biz lawn alert. Anyway, I got this bumper car thing for my daughter. She can control like it a zero turn mower but the remote I have in my hand overrides her. Anyway, next month I’ll put a vacuum in her hand and let her go to work lol.

I know.  I wish we got that.  But it works well regardless

We got a Roomba for xmas......nice little machine. Set it up to run with your phone and you can control it anytime. The vacuum does a real nice job.....we let it run upstairs on the carpet......and then bring it down to take care of the lower level which is all glue down vinyl planking. Like others have said....just need to empty it afterward but I think they remind you of that on the app.

I bought a Dyson Ball vac for the house after my wife gave up on the Roomba she had purchased and hated . It was named Bob and would get stuck in a few places .

  Not yet. I like my trusty Dyson.

I'm currently in immediacare. The Dyson ball cleaner should really come with better instructions. I took the name literally

My wife has one and loves it. Just make sure you set it to run at a time that won’t annoy you.

I have the roomba.  Once in a while we'll turn it on when we leave the house.  Every once in a while we come back to find it stuck somewhere because I'd leave a USB cable on the floor or something and it gets tangled on the roller.

We got the Shark robotic vac for Christmas. I was a skeptic, but it really does work pretty good. And there's an occasional comical moment with the dog as he is still getting used to it. He really doesn't like it when it sneaks up on him.
