JustinCharge 2,397 Posted September 18, 2021 Why would you want to vacuum up some robots? Do you have a robot infestation? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boots11234 107 Posted September 18, 2021 iRobot from Costco. Buy it when it goes on sale. Love it. Whatever you get make sure the base station has a vacuum bag built in otherwise you have to empty the robot every day. That sucks. My floors are spotless. Truck is to start with clean floors. It will keep them that way. Totally worth it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Drizzay 644 Posted September 18, 2021 We have the iRobot 980(?). We also have all hardwood floors. Does a great job 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cloaca du jour 2,064 Posted September 18, 2021 I have one...we have hardwood floors and tiled. Works great but it hates any cords...dog toys..etc. im not seeing the wow factor. Knock off brand on sale from amazon. It does its job..long battery and half the cost of a roomba. I want spending 500 dollars for an experiment. I can swiffer the floors faster to be honest 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GobbleDog 815 Posted September 18, 2021 Got wife a Roomba wife about 4 years ago... it was semi-pricey at $375. Had no idea if she or I would like it. Turns out ... worth it's weight in gold. We named it "Juanita". Ya soon learn all the places that get it stuck... certain tables, rugs, or leaving doors half open, which they go into and accidentally shut the door on themselves. Mine makes it back to the charger 80% of the time. When it doesn't... no biggie. I also don't mind emptying it every day or so. Only takes a second. Then again, I don't have a big shedding dog. Clean floors for life - it's worth it. Also reduces overall dust in the air. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdub100 3,370 Posted September 18, 2021 I got the wife the Roomba i9+ for Christmas. She loves it. The first one we got had the red ring of death, but they sent a replacement and so far so good. For maximum laziness get the one that automatically dumps the dirt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have carpet, hardwood and tile.... drives on all just fine and crosses transition strips without a sweat. If you have stairs, it has a sensor that keeps it from going over the edge.

It’s one that does well with pet hair and dumps into its home base so you can easily dump the stuff it picks up. Just remember it being on sale for $500 compared to its normal price of $700 during Black Friday. But it’s good. Love being able to use the app for it and you can program it to clean at certain times during the day. Next we get is going to be the one that mops the floors Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
