CAn anybody recomend a robot vacuum cleaner?
We have a Persian cat and a westie dog. Now the grass is being cut we now have grass and pet hair on the floor. The kitchen is tiled and the dinning room and livening room are open plan with a solid wood floor.
Pers don’t get upstairs so the dyson is fine for there but like the idea of coming home and there is a clean floor. Toddlers toys may cause an issue I guess.

Or would a rechargeable dyson be a better option?

I’d definitely go for Metal Mickey.

Cats like Roombas

And I thought golfers with electric buggies were lazy bastards…..

Solve the problem at the source. Just hoover the cat and dog when they enter the house

Cover the cat in sudocrem. That’ll stop it shedding hair 😉

it will make your burden less for sure.

Oh, the suffering…. 😆

I’ve bought several Roombas for home and work. The ones at work come on every morning at 6am clean up for an hour or so and re-dock for charging. They need emptying every 8-9 days (it’s a clean office)

At home it gets shoved in a room and forgotten about for 20 mins and then moved to a new room

Bought one for 70 year old parents and in-laws and they love ’em too

Pros;
You don’t have to Hoover!
They clean under beds and cupboards really well
They clean really deeply because they don’t get bored

Cons;
They can fill up quickly if your floor is full of crap
You have to remove ANYTHING (cables, newspapers, cups) from it’s path because it will chew them up
Sloping chairs (I.e. It’s a 5″ gap underneath at one end and 3″ at the other) provide the perfect wedge for them to drive in and get stuck

All in I think they’re one of the greatest inventions ever and I’m amazed they’re not all over the place! Beware cheap shit imitations that don’t have the “roomba logic” though
