What home robots have you used, and how well did they work?

[msc545]

I'm mainly talking about stuff for the home like robot vacuums or robot window cleaners or any other shorts of automated equipment. If so, what kind of equipment have you used and what has been your experience of it so far?

I used a robot Roborock with a mopping feature, and overall, my experience has been very positive, I bought it on globy. com for a pretty good price. it does a great job with everyday dust, crumbs, and pet hair, saving a ton of time during the workweek. The main thing is not to expect miracles on thick high-pile carpets or in corners that are physically hard for it to reach.

My mom got me a roomba type robot vacuum thinking I'd find it cool. I just found it extremely creepy. I could have figured out how to make it stop announcing it was about to start cleaning and how it was returning to the dock but it was too late and I already wanted nothing to do with it anymore.

Sorry, I searched for it on Google, and I know there's a way to do it because I have two Roombas myself, but you have to look at the app that you're using on your phone, I guess.

Actually, that link I posted does work. Just click it.

I own no robots... my sister has one of those vacuums that rolls around on it's own. They also have a sheltie and a black cat, and I get the impression that the poor vacuum mostly rides around looking busy because it's already full

Vacuum cleaner. It's OK, but it needed almost as much work clearing the area as just using a normal vacuum. Almost.

What brand of robot vacuum cleaner did you have? I Ask because I have two Roomba units that work just fine, but I don't think all of them do.

[goaded]

Vorwerk Kobold. You probably have tidier floors than I do and maybe your cleaners fit between the legs of your chairs, which mine doesn't, so they have to be picked up (the alternative we looked at was too tall to fit under the sofa, so swings and roundabouts).

[msc545]

Well to a large extent in mine are controlled by some software that come with it and that software maps the room and allows me to designate certain areas for the robot to avoid. In the case of chairs that it's going to be trapped underneath, I designate that area for it to avoid and so far that is solved the problem you described.

My parents have a vacuum robot and it works mostly okay for such a little machine. I would be interested to test a window cleaner robot and see what's what.
