There are two dogs, two cats and 5 people living in the house, vacuuming is required. Even after multiple vacuuming sessions a week, the house never seemed to be as clean as I wanted it to be. Now I run this little robotic vacuum cleaner almost every morning and it helps a lot. It has exceeded all my expectations and eliminated the need to vacuum hard floors. The design facilitates access to the dust collector. My only complaint is that the little orange filter on the side of the bin has a tendency to fall out when I remove the bin, but for now I just hold it with my finger to keep it in place. never mind If your furniture isn't big enough for your robot to easily clean underneath without getting stuck like it was the case with one of my sofas, I suggest swapping the legs to give it some elevation. That one change made for a smooth sailing experience. I also found out first that the robot would tangle cords on the floor behind furniture. I solved this problem by using a few control hooks in inconspicuous spots along the wall to mix up and get the cables out of the way. Now my robot vacuum runs anywhere with ease and does a great job. I love that we don't have to collect pet hair in places that are hard to reach with a regular large vacuum.
