A friend and I will be moving into her newly-built home early next year, and we are in the process of making our purchases over the coming months to get it set up. One of the things we've considered is vacuums, and perhaps a robot vacuum.
About us and the house
- Two late 20s women
- Shiftworkers, one of us on night shift
- No kids
- No pets (currently; maybe a dog in the future)
- Small single-storey house, no stairs etc
- Tile in the living/kitchen/bathroom, carpet in bedrooms
My only experience with a robot vacuum is the comments through forums and seeing them on display at stores. Are they worth the expense? Do they require extra vacuuming? Any tips of brands/models/prices etc? With Black Friday coming up, would it be better to purchase on that sale, or wait for the Boxing Day sales, or something else?
Thanks in advance!
Not to sure, but my parents have one and they never use it, seemed like a waste to me, I think the biggest issue is that its sort of quicker and easier to take a few minutes to vaccum then it is to wait for the thing to go round, especially when you have a lot of nooks and crannies or uneven floors or multiple rooms.
It does have a remote though, so I do like the idea of just sitting on the couch and zooming it around. I imagine if it worked perfectly and vaccumed itself properly, the idea would be great.
Personally I use one of those hand dyson cordless, their fairly pricey though but works well for me but I have a small area to clean.
