I have 4 cats. I love them very much.

They also produce more fur than there are grains of sand in this God forsaken earth. There’s fur in my clothes, food, mouse, ceiling fan, body crevices.

Help. Me.

    How do people use robot vaccuums with 3 floors? And closed doors? Do you need like 6 of em?

      I’ve had 4 iRobot vacuums over the years since the Roomba was introduced. I kind of hate them. On the one hand, they do a decent job of keeping things neater all the time, but every one of them quit working within two years (mostly due to failed motor drivers). At $350 each (I see they cost quite a lot more these days) they just weren’t worth it, especially compared to a similarly priced standard vacuum. I’ve been using one of Shark’s upper-end models for about 5 years. It cost about the same as a robot vacuum, does more, lasts longer and has no expensive consumables. It’s excellent, especially regarding maintainability. I can quickly and easily disassembly and clear/clean the entire air path with no tools.

      Also they aren’t that powerful. For bare floors great carpet it’s just physics that a corded 12 amp with HEPA bag will do a better job
