[Technology] Robo-hoovers

[Bozza]

Yes. Have the Eufy and two dogs. Absolutely brilliant,cleans better than a Dyson. The quality of the cleaning surprised me, thought it would just be a bit of a gimmick, but it's really good. Does need to be emptied fairly regularly (all the dog hairs) and filters cleaned etc. Because it is low it goes under chairs and our dogs raised beds without having to move things. Got it going through Alexa so just ask Alexa to start Robo-vac and off it goes or you can set it on a schedule.

Is it one of these? https://amzn.to/2OineTk

does the whole house in the middle of the night.

Two questions

- how does it get upstairs?
- how quiet is it?

Anyone got one of those automatic robot hoover things > https://amzn.to/2R4zPYW

Particularly anyone with a dog?

Are they any good? Asking for a friend.

Did,

Yes,

No.

 

[oxymoron]

My house is all on one floor, much quieter than a normal vac..

 

[PeterOut]

Surely you don't need one of these if you have an Apple Watch? Doesn't that do the hoovering, make tea and toast etc as well as sit on your wrist waiting for you to think of something useful to do with it?

It's the 11c. Just checked

I have two large hairy dogs. I used to have a Roomba but found that although it did a good job at picking up dog fur, eventually the fur got into a tiny space that rendered it useless even if I disassembled it. I now have two Neato Botvacs, one for each floor, and they are excellent. They've dealt with the dog fur superbly and although sometimes the fur gets places in the machine it shouldn't, it is always easy to remove. Highly recommended.

We’ve just had a sweep-o-vac installed in the new extension. Handy little thing.

Shave the dog ..problem solved

stops when out of charge!

That is called a flat battery, not a design feature.

The more expensive ones don’t get a flat battery -they return to their charging station when the battery is about to go flat - that is the design feature lacking in my cheapo one.

Great idea but my dog goes bonkers around normal hoovers so God knows what she'd do if left alone with a robot one. It would certainly be worth videoing.

I have had one for about 10 years. Got it as part of an Itison deal for about £150. I call it Edgar (not quite a Hoover! )
Excellent it is too, runs for about 1/23hour on a full battery then docks itself when it is getting tired. I only use it in the hall downstairs and the kitchen but it's great.

Just got a robot Mower as well (nicknamed 'Patrick') and will set it up next week. Brand new in it's box (worth £850) got it for £218 on EBay.

Just love me gadgets me....

About 2 [SUP]1[/SUP]/[SUB]2[/SUB] minutes?

One of those appliances that's for people with more money than sense. In my opinion, of course.

We have one that works pretty well (x2 cats and a dog). The Xiaomi MI is what we have, it isn't widely available but you can get them on ebay.

This one hoovers and mops the floor!

More powerful than most of the others and it has a phone app that is cool.

You don't have shedding dogs, do you. . .

You don't have shedding dogs, do you. . .

Personally I don't think dogs should live indoors. If you have to have one it should live in a kennel outside the house.

I used to sell these in 2006 online with our website being number 1 for the keyword 'robitic vacuum cleaner'. Those were the good old days then the supplier in France pulled the plug and the rest is history. They are just a gimmick..
