Robo vacuum

Just remembered, my first one was a l'efant.

Not a white l'phant I hope!

If your floors are so tidy that normal hoovering would be easy, they're great. For the rest of us, not so much!

It's not cleaning the floor that takes the time, it's FINDING the floor!

I have a eufy downstairs, which is great, and one from Lidl upstairs which is crap

I like the idea of one of these, but we have a big heavy coffee table that can't be moved, as well as occasional tables, plants on stands, a bookcase and a bureau as well as the TV and sofas.

Would it navigate that lot? I'm happy to pick up bits and pieces that might be on the floor, but it would be easier to run a vacuum round than to shift everything out of the way.

I like the idea of one that will wash the kitchen floor - is that a possibility? Also, the dining room has an LVT floor with a rug - would it cope with both, or would we have to roll up the rug (similar effort v results dilemma).

LVT?

Our house is messy.
We lift up wires and just leave it to do its thing.
It goes round stuff we've left out and is perfectly happy.
They can cope with most things except wires and ribbon.
Our "upstairs" one can be blocked from messy places on an app.

LVT?

Luxury Vinyl Tile. Well, it's plank, really - LVP? It's a hard floor, and is washable, but there is a large rug over some of it.

I have a Roborok Qrevo S that has two water tanks, one clean and one dirty, and it empties it's little dustbin into a bigger bag in the base. It mops and vacuums happily on my mix of lino, Karndean, rugs and carpets. You can set it to do just one room, just mop, just vac, or both. On its's first amble around the house it learns where it can go and what the surfaces are - nope, no idea how it knows.

The one upstairs can also cut hair/yarn off the brush and empty itself into a bag.
The basic ones such as we have downstairs are not so clever.

Agree. Had mine a few years now. Works a treat. I bought it when my health deteriorated .
Eufy. No regrets. 💗

I bought both of mine on amazon, and they were one of the cheapest, they mop too.and I bought spare brushes etc over time
