    Do you have a lot of carpet? Tbh they seem to work best if you have non carpeted floors. Also, there are a zillion robot vacuums out there and the lowest pricing tier sucks major ass unfortunately. If you’re not looking to spend at least $250, anything below that isntrash and absolutely not worth owning at all.

      Main floor is about 600 sq ft. I’d say 40% is carpeted. It’s a pretty normal carpet, not shag but not that super short stuff.

      We actually went with a nicer one because we had just adopted a puppy and wanted one that wouldn’t smear shit all over the house in case the dog went inside. It was an irobot brand, it was about $500.

        Dang, that sucks :(. I convinced my mom to get one and, although it’s far from perfect, after some startup period where it didn’t know the good routes through the home it’s working consistently great (iRobot J7+ i think). it now saves her and her cleaning help a ton of time
