Finally got a robot vacuum in an effort to free up some of my time spent cleaning, and..

I have long hair and pets, so I got the pet version and it’s great (iRobot i3, but there may be a newer model). It has rubber rollers rather than brushes. 10/10 would recommend.

My house gives my friend hives

For your current vacuum, put in earbuds and your fave music. As another commenter said, consider saving up for a robot vacuum. I have the Roomba i3+, which has the self-emptying dock (just swap out the bag in the dock when it gets full). I got it as a Xmas sent from my mom to help with my depression

Real talk: parents who work, are you really cleaning daily?

I'm definitely not qualified to answer haha - I like my roomba (iRobot Roomba i3+ EVO (3554)) but I didn't put loads of research into it or things may have changed, so I'd recommend finding a recent reddit post or making a new post to cover it I don't have pets and can't use mopping (wood floors) so

Please say I don’t have to buy a new one.

Best part of iRobot is most of their components are replaceable and reasonably priced. I'm not positive this will fit your robot but they have these modules for most of their current line. https://www.irobot.com/en_US/roomba-cleaning-head-module-for-roomba-i3-and-j7-series/4706166.html I once had an

I made a ramp for my robot vacuum to help clear thresholds

I'm so angry at my stupid $400 Roomba. It has NEVER mapped my house successfully, and hasn't even made it out of its room in a year. Most of the time it just sits on its stupid charging station complaining about something. (iRobot Roomba Combo i3+) It was about as expensive as TWO of my previous rob

Roomba combo essential vs Roomba combo i5

Combo i5. The essential line is a cheap rebranded Chinese robot that iRobot is utilizing to compete with smaller names. The i5 combo is a tried and true model based off the earlier i3.

What’s the best garage accessory you’ve ever purchased?

I really like the iRobot self emptying ones. Got multiple i3s. Straightforward to fix and maintain for car people like us and parts are cheap. Virtual walls to keep it from hazardous stuff are abundant on Amazon and knockoffs work as well as real ones. Don’t ever buy the iHome stuff. Worked for a mo

I have a new pet named roobert. How do I make him happy/feel at home? He is comfortable enough to explore the house and he eats a lot of dirt. Though he doesn't do well with closed doors or the dark. Should I decorate his place? (Thing in the picture)

J9 is a beautiful roomba. One of my favorite resides My i3+ is still hanging in there. My mom’s s9+ is good too but she’s thinking about gifting it to me so I’m excited as it’s my favorite design and I believe it has the most power
