OT: Robot vacuums are #1, avoid #2

[HuskyHawk]

We had a Roomba that we received as a Christmas present from my brother in law a long time ago. We sold it in a tag sale a few years after he gave it to us. We have too many area rugs with fringe.

I'm holding out for a robot maid, like Rosie from "The Jetsons."

If you use your imagination, you might be able to improve upon that as a wish list item. Ms. Crookshanks perhaps?

Your version is close. MIT has one.

1) They’re not very good. You’re retired - just vacuum.

2) If you get one, shoot the dog.

Have an iRoomba. It’s great

I know people who have come home to dog crap smeared all over their house from their Roomba repeatedly running it over

Could be worse.

You can’t bear to do nothing while you wait for the fire department to arrive. At some point he enlists help from the driver of the septic truck, who positions a hose to douse the red-hot hood and, later, the exposed engine bay itself, in a torrent of thick, disgusting sludge.

I can’t even imagine the smell of burnt and charred sewage. Delicious.

She's coming but most of us will likely not be around to see it.

I have a Deebot. It works but it doesn’t get every speck of dust. It’s nice to get under the bed and such.

We got one as a gift because my wife was talking about how much she wanted one (I"m fine with the Sebo vacuum the thing cost a fortune but its a killer machine) - that damn thing get stuck on table legs, pedestal base of a big industrial fan, etc, etc.

I'll take a real vacuum any day over it. What's it take me 10 minutes to vacuum the place - the house isn't 15,000 square feet for god sake.

My dog left me a surprise in the kitchen this morning. He's 13 and on borrowed time. He just can't always hold it, unfortunately.

To eliminate the possibility of the dreaded DoggyDoShmear, Just program this thing to make a pass around the house ahaead of of the Roomba.

Pooper Scooper Robot Will Find, Detect And Automatically Pick Up Your Dog’s Poo

<p>Having a pet comes with endless perks, from the loving snuggles to the warmest of welcomes every time you walk through the front door. But, of all the responsibilities that come with having a pet, picking up their has probably got to be up there with the worst of them. In fact, I bet <a...

They work just "ok" in my book. I have a Deebot, it likes to hide in the bathroom and slack off.

I have hardwood throughout and mine worked great until the sweeper are broke.

If you are prone to having dogs crap all over your house, these products won't help.

We got a Roomba from I-Robot. It works great.

It’s like everything else... leads the way. There would be no internet without it.

Toys, or do they actually work?

Did you use your special powers to change the title of this thread after post #6?

I love my Roomba. Great in the kitchen with hardwood floors, cleans up all the crumbs. It even dusts the floor a bit, like a Swiffer would, so the floor looks a little shinier when it’s done. Ya it gets caught up if it runs over a sock or something but so does a vacuum you push. Would def recommend getting one.

Our's works great, of course the first time my dog saw it and we weren't home he flipped out, flipped his crate, everywhere, and ripped the carpet to shreds trying to dig out of his cage to get away from it. Was......not the best day.

I prefer the Arisa model in “Better Than Us”.

Surprised that no one caught this interaction. Not sure Champs realized the hilarity of what he wrote.
