I bought my first robot vacuum and it's pretty great (eufy 11S for $110).
It is as dumb as these things come. It has no navigation other than IR on the front to not bump into things. It doesn't connect to wifi. I'm not concerned about it sharing data because it has no way to do so.
I turn it on once or twice a week as I'm about to leave for work. When I come home my floors are in decent shape. It saves me about an hour a week on sweeping.
Minimum wage here is $12/hour so even if that's what I made, it would pay for itself in less than ten weeks.
- Sohcahtoa82 4y agoI thought about getting a robot vacuum, but I have long-haired cats which are prone to coughing up hairballs, and I don't want my cleaner to smear one of those all around the room.
- tootie 4y agoHigher-end models can handle not only pet hair, but they are much pricier.
- theshrike79 4y agoFancier models use a camera to detect all kinds of shit (literally) so they can avoid it. Not counting the hairball issue, a robot vacuum is perfect for a home with hairy pets, cuts down on the amount of random pet hair everywhere quite a bit. Just have it run every weekday on a timer so you don't forget. Psychologically it's easier to just run through the house and throw stuff out of the robot's way than it is to chase it down and poke it to stop running - and then YOU have to vacuum manually =)

- justinsaccount 4y agoWe have that one and accidentally programmed it to run first thing in the morning. Turns out that works pretty well. Acts as a bit of an alarm.. runs from like 7:30 to 8:30 or so. Manages to completely fill itself up with pet hair every other day.
