I only vacuum/sweep when the drifts of dust and hair become tripping hazards. A $300ish iRobot does a crappy job, but it runs regularly. I just need to empty the bin once every few days.

It works pretty well for me.

Same, mines like a $40 one from a few years back on black friday. Does it do a great job? No, each individual run is objectively not good and it misses some stuff, but over the course of a week it averages out to pretty freaking great and all I've gotta do is empty its bin when I get home from work at least once or twice. 10/10, would recommend and seeing the amount of cat hair its picked up is pretty disgusting.

Do you have one that just moves randomly around or one which maps your room?

[-] tjhart85@kbin.social 4 points 10 months ago

It doesn't map, just makes a bunch of straight lines throughout the room and goes around things it bumps into.

[-] Evotech@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

Yeah those are pretty meh. The ones that map the room and goes over it all systematically are drastically more efficient for sure
