I have two Roombas one for upstairs and downstairs. I have a battery Dyson for the stairs and other tight places. I also have a roomba mop that I use for upstairs since it’s all hardwood. The Roombas go everyday.

Seriously, a robot vacuum running every day when you leave will absolutely change your life. I was skeptical until I got a refurbished one off of Amazon, and seeing the dust and hair it picks up from all the corners and rugs every day has made it completely worth it.

I was skeptical too until I finally got one. They are so worth it especially if you have pets.

Yup our friends got one some years ago. I watched that thing many times and we finally got one. We have 3 herding dogs so while it was doing a gret job it also takes a beating from being herded.

This is hilarious! My dog is scared of it, so I only run it when we leave, but he still gets nervous about the activation tones it plays as we’re walking out.

I'd use the Roomba but with 3 herding dogs you can guess where that goes. Chaos Roomba herding !!!!

Setting up to be robot friendly can help them be more effective. Think about where they get lost/stuck and make sure you don't have carpets with tasseled edging. Consider upgrading to the ones that can dump their dust collector at a docking station and go back to work.

This, and get the Brava for mopping. You’ll still need to vacuum and mop periodically, but your workload will be reduced about 90 percent.
