Robot vacuum.
Is there a particular one that you would recommend that is the biggest bang for the buck? Having a robot vacuum would be cool but I know some brands are more expensive than others.
Can recommended the Eufy RoboVac. Its made a huge difference and requires little effort to set up. I run it every other day and its basically eliminated "tumbleweeds".
Thanks! I'll check that one out. Ha, I have hardwood floors so tumbleweeds between the cat hair, dust, and them ripping apart their cat tree they are a pretty common site. Having this around would definitely help!
Check out vacuum wars on YouTube, he tests a bunch of root vacuums.
How do people use robot vaccuums with 3 floors? And closed doors? Do you need like 6 of em?
Also they aren't that powerful. For bare floors great carpet it's just physics that a corded 12 amp with HEPA bag will do a better job
I've had 4 iRobot vacuums over the years since the Roomba was introduced. I kind of hate them. On the one hand, they do a decent job of keeping things neater all the time, but every one of them quit working within two years (mostly due to failed motor drivers). At $350 each (I see they cost quite a lot more these days) they just weren't worth it, especially compared to a similarly priced standard vacuum. I've been using one of Shark's upper-end models for about 5 years. It cost about the same as a robot vacuum, does more, lasts longer and has no expensive consumables. It's excellent, especially regarding maintainability. I can quickly and easily disassembly and clear/clean the entire air path with no tools.
