Consumer Electronics Robot vacuums

[Bunk Moreland]

Seem like a good lazy persons gadget. Anyone got one, are they any good?

 

[TheFreshBanana]

Yeah they're decent. Just need to make sure nothing is on the floor where it can sort of get in the way. The only thing that needs to be maintained is replacing the dust etc from the back, and charging it.

I feel that if something requires me to move everything and be out of a room for an extended period of time or else it won't work/will run into me, then I may as well just vacuum for 40 seconds and save money instead.

So your problem with it, is that you have to tidy the place up? lol

How well do they negotiate their way around couches, tables, chairs, desks etc?

 

[woopedazz]

Yes. It's counterintuitive.

Once they hit something solid, they turn a bit and keep moving until they don't hit anything. So with couches, desks and tables its alright, but with chairs you might want to move them out of the room otherwise the area around it, or definitely under it, won't be vacuumed.

Yes. It's counterintuitive.

How is it counter intuitive?

The whole premise of vacuuming is to keep the area clean. Why would you vacuum but not place things off the floor onto a bench?

And if you were to actually buy a manually used vacuum, you will have to do the same thing anyway.

I don't have much moveable shit lying around so if rather just pick a couple of things up then let it go.

You can get them with mop function too which might be handy. ****in hate mopping.

I forgot that one

I just know if I own one Ill let it run around, forget about it then it runs out of battery and I wont be able to find it or accidentally steps on it.

Plus how good of a job would it actually do? Im imagining it to just zip around random paths and wont really clean a room properly.

 

[rocker_oz33]

I only want one,to see if the cats will sit on it and zoom around the place.

This vid never fails to make me laugh. Haven't seen it in ages.

The newer vacuum robots are pretty intelligent nowadays. They have infrared to determine if they will hit something, have motion sensors so they don't go down stairs, and will go over a certain spot a second time if it senses the area to be dirty. Hell, when the battery is low it automatically seeks out its docking station and recharges itself.

I'd only get one if I had a small apartment, though.

They can return to their dock when they need a charge and to empty their container.

I don't think it's possible to own copies of Terminator or Battlestar Galactica in addition to a free minded cleaning robot.

 

[mrvankid]

mint 4200 is the best vacum cleaner

I got one of these as a gift. They are useless unless you have a big open space with nothing in the way. Get caught on rugs and jammed under tv stands etc. Its much quicker and easier for me to vacuum the place myself.

I have never ever seen a black toilet before...until now
mind = blown

 

[rocker_oz33]

My bro asked his FB friends about robot vacs (hes lazy as sin).
So his post was something like this.
Anyone have a robot vacuum and are they any good?
One person said i had one I called it girl friend.
Next post was how was the suction and the quality.

On the other hand, Red Dwarf has shown me that when cleaning droids finally arrive they will be hilarious
