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.

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

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

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

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

How do you clean your floor everyday?

I have a Roomba i3+ and I like it. But I can't make any comparisons because this is the only one I've ever had. My only suggestion is to definitely get the clean base that automatically sucks the dirt from the roomba to a bag in the base. Otherwise you have to empty it by hand every time it runs. Bu

Quick question, do u guys life in your households? Cause my roomba gets caught on everything

The 690 is like the bare bones with very old tech. When iRobot switched to the rubber beater bars that really helped with getting tangled in wires and the cleaning/tracking was much more efficient. The j series brought object detection which means it usually will go around said object. The newest se

My vacuum died. What should I get?

I’ve have an Amazon XL battery replacement for my i3. Good on a few months now, no issues whatsoever. Its capacity is 1.5x the size of the official iRobot one so it’s able to vacuum my whole house in one run with half battery left. I’m hoping this battery lasts a while but so far no issues at all

found a cheap roomba online is it worth it?

Definitely worth it. The i4+ will come with a self empty dock, and it supports mapping the house so you can have it clean specific rooms. Plus, there's so much less randomly bumping around, so it actually ensures it hits every inch of floor instead of hoping it does by turning randomly. Changing fro
