A decade ago, the idea of having a robot vacuum cleaner seemed far-fetched to many. The author reflects on how technology and affordability have evolved, leading to the adoption of a robot vacuum that surpasses previous expectations. Despite initial hesitance due to high prices and unreliable cheaper models, the author found success with a mid-range option that met their cleaning needs impressively well. While it may only save about 10 minutes weekly, it significantly enhances the comfort of maintaining a clean home.
Not quite the R2D2 or C2PO I might have expected to be wandering around my home with a feather duster, but a small black disk that rumbles its way around the flat.
It's not that running a vacuum cleaner around the flat was particularly onerous or time-consuming, and I had bought a rechargeable cleaner... there were times when the flat would go a week or so without the roar of the vacuum cleaner filling the room.
I hadn't considered a robot cleaner as a realistic option, as when casually looking, the famous brand names seemed very expensive, and while there are cheapo models, those are usually a poor investment.
Oh. My. Gosh. It's pretty darned amazing. Not utterly perfect, but good enough to deal with probably 95% of my floor cleaning needs.
