Robotic Vacuum Cleaners
 

Anybody own one?

Looking to get my wife one for Xmas and have just started researching them. The iRobot ones are crazy expensive compared to others.

I want one bad—but they are all so expensive right now. I hate vacuuming. I'll wait 'til most have one until they need to drop prices to move them. Kinda like how that happened with smart tv prices dropping.

I bought a Neato a few years ago, worked great for a few months then the battery life went to shit. Bought replacement batteries and they didn't last long either. Now it wont even try to charge. $300 down the drain.

I've seen them for $900-$1000 dollars. $300 is the cheapest I ever heard.

ROFL

I've had an iRobot for five year and it's still in the box, unopened.

I guess I need to try it someday.

I bought a Eufy about 6 weeks ago. Does well except it always gets stuck on the vents if I don't block them off.

Does it vacuum your ceilings as well?

Nope, in the Midwest the vents are in the floor.

Biggest mistake I made was leaving the vents on the floor when I had a new system installed.

I was getting everything at cost, with free labor, and didn't want to spend the extra K.

getting the wife a new power deck washer

The hell with that. Just get a Dyson.

I had terrible luck with Dysons. Three in 6 years.

The $99 Hoover Windtunnels I purchased at Costco lasted three times as long.

I have the Eufy as well, works well but I have the occasional problem with the vents as well. We recently went to hardwood floors and with a dog after a couple days the amount of hair was horrible. The Eufy keeps things pretty good even if it occasionally gets stuck.

I saw another one that was recently released that mops as well but haven't really followed up with that. Overall we are happy with the Eufy Robovac and it does a pretty good job.

I got mine for about 130 on amazon.

I have a Roomba, and it's amazing. Works great on both hard surfaces, as well as carpet. I've recommended them to pretty much everyone. You can get an 800 series at Costco for around $400.
