I imagine many/most folks have had one of these for at least a few years. Since most of the house is now tile floor we figured getting one made sense. I don't even know the brand (not a Roomba) but the little thing is pretty cool. Running it twice a day keeps the floors relatively dust/debris free even when living on a dirt road with dust clouds every time a vehicle goes past. Welcome to the 21st century I suppose.

we dont and wont get one. My office is carpet. kitchen is LVP. Living room is carpet, and is up 12 inches from the kitchen and hallway. the only place it would work would be hall, kitchen and dining. Dining room has table and 6 chairs, so it couldnt get under that at all. 4 bar stools at the "breakfast bar", so it cant get through there. Too many obstacles, and would still have to have the wife vacuum the dog hair under all the obstacles.  |

They do "ok" on carpet, but nothing like a traditional vacuum. As far as obstacles go, I'm impressed with the unit we have. As far as a wife vacuuming...that'd be news to me. I've been vacuuming daily since this house was built. Not sure the wife knows how the vaccum works or where it's located |

BTW, it works WONDERFULLY too! |

What brand did you buy and can you post a link? Our place in Arizona is all tile and thought one of these robo-vacs would work pretty well. How does it do with living room rugs etc.? |

My wife ordered it. It's a Thamtu G10, that's all I know. She said it had good reviews, but then again so do most of them. We don't have living room rugs so I can't tell you how it would do. When I was researching them it seemed like they did just fine going from rugs to hard floors, but that you may need to put a section of the non-slip stuff under some rugs. FWIW, ours wandered into the carpeted spare bedroom last night. It did a decent job in there too. |

Good lord. I must live like a pig. This isn't a big house. Plus, I am allergic to most everything it seems. Getting rid of as much dust and dust mites as I can helps. In a few more years (if the market doesn't completely collapse anyway) we'll replace the carpet in the office and spare bedroom with some kind of hard flooring too. That'll be the last time anything in this house is carpeted for as long as we own it. I shouldn't have been a cheap ass when I built the house and just put tile everywhere from the get-go. |

Yep we love ours as well, we have a self empty one and that's a great feature, only need to empty it about once a week.
