There was skepticism and a hint of prejudice toward the idea of purchasing a robot vacuum cleaner at first; it was thought that regular vacuuming was still the superior method, and that such a "miracle" would be useless. Incorrect; the vacuum is strong enough to pick up "bones" from the floor and carpets (along with dust, crumbs, etc.), clever enough to avoid crashing into walls in outer space, and so on. We don't have any pets yet, so I can't say how he might react to their hair. But generally speaking, for regular housekeeping, standards!
