I am mesmerized by our new robotic vacuum (2019)
I'm still in the cynic camp for a few reasons.
1. My flat is small. I can do a decent vac in about 15 minutes. 30 minutes if I do under the bed.
2. When I do the "big vac", I have to move 6 dining room chairs. Then shift the table a few inches. Zoom. Shift if back. Same goes for some other legged furniture.
3. I also do the windowsills. No bot can do this.
4. Don't you end up with little arched dust patterns in every corner of every room? How does a round vacuum do this? Seriously! This is the deal-breaker for me unless they have some little robot-wars-style dust-brush that shoots out to get into the 90 degree angles.<p>All that said, I really really want one!
