Robot vacuums and mops? Sure. But iRobot devices (including Roomba)? I have my doubts. The robots seem to just raise errors all the time for no specific reason.
That doesn’t work for me in the iRobot ecosystem; it always finds some excuse to just stop in the middle of the job and then “forget” what is was doing. It then sends out the mop even though it never finished vacuuming.
If I didn’t work from home there’d be no way they’d ever clean everything.
I know it’s better than nothing, but the reason I haven’t bothered to get one is that the vacuum guy on Reddit made me a solid believer in German bagged vacuums like Sebo. Almost everything else is exhausting dust everywhere it goes.
Wash their sheets and pillow cases. Also vacuum. Dust mites are not healthy to have around.
Roomba is a lifesaver.
Agree. I thought they were overrated until we got one. They are like pets that clean. Ours has a cute punny name.
What’s it’s name? I named mine “Mr. Roombastic”
That is fantastic

Domo arigato, Mr. Roomboto
Mine is called Compsognathus. He’s my little scavenger and fits with a bunch of my Jurassic Park memorabilia.
Mine is super unreliable, plus what takes him 2 hours, I can get done in 30 minutes.
That’s 30 minutes that I don’t have to spend vacuuming.

Robot vacuums are great, but my Roomba is incredibly unreliable. I’m buying Roborock next time.
Same here. Roomba and Braava jet clean incredibly well but the software/navigation are trash.
My robot vacuum gets triggered any time I leave the house. Go out for dinner? Go to work? Grab coffee? Come back to a vacuumed house.
