Re: Buying a vacuum cleaner!?
Unfortunately, many robot vacuums do not offer significant improvements in this regard. Their instruction manuals warn you to tidy up beforehand if you don’t want the botvac to get stuck. They often come with additional gizmos (infrared beacons or other navigational aides) to cordon off terminally cluttered areas. But iRobot and the Roomba have been around long enough to know that this is not necessarily a time- or energy-saver. I’ve been running the iRobot Roomba 980 for almost two weeks now and it has kept my house clean with minimal effort on my part. If you’re willing to lay out the cash, this is the best robot vacuum you can get. I can advise the home dweller.
Mod edit I have removed your advertising link as the products you linked to are not available in the UK. Your IP address suggests you are posting from the USA and as such products across all categories are totally different which could confuse UK posters.
