I don’t know if a vacuum robot counts but it saves us tons of effort. We wake up to a freshly vacuumed home every morning.

- ghaff 2y agoYou need to have a very specific house layout. My brother does. I don't. A Dyson stick vac is much more useful for me than a vacuum robot would be.
- dyauspitr 2y agoIt doesn’t need to be that specific the only problem I can foresee is that it cannot go downstairs. In my case, I just got two of them one for my upper floor and one for my ground floor. If you get some of the more advanced ones now they’re not particularly affected by wires, tassels, etc.
- ghaff 2y agoIt's a very old house with lots of transitions over the years. Benefits from a few stick vac sweeps now and then but a robot vac wouldn't work well.
- dyauspitr 2y agoI would reframe what you said as it doesn’t work for specific house layouts. The vast majority should be able to use them with no problems.
- ghaff 2y agoIn my experience, most houses have transitions between sections that are probably more than a robo-vacuum can easily handle.
- dyauspitr 2y agoInteresting, that’s not what I’m used to. What sort of transitions are you referring to because these things can get over a half inch hurdle.
- ghaff 2y agoThere are any number of >1/2" transitions on my ground floor. But, as I say it's a 200+ year old house that has been added to and modified many times. I wasn't going to buy a robo-vac just to find it wasn't very useful. Really it's just my dining room/kitchen that needs to be vacuumed regularly between monthly housekeeper visits and a stick vac handles that in a few minutes.
