Who of you out there has a robotic vacuum. I have just been testing a few and found that in genral they are rubbish. From a engineering point of you how could they not be you can't compaire a machine the size of a stack of dinner plates to clean as well as a regular vacuum but I was taken in by the hype and all of the review s saying how good they are.
The next thing that I also found was that a alrge majority of them do not vacuum at all. they act like a mini carpet sweeper.
I found the Electrolux one did the best of all of them including the roomba.
I can understand it as a way to maintain the carpets during the day but never replace my normal vacuums.
I was not carrying out my evaluations for a manufacturer( like we normally do) but for our business deciding on which to stock, at the price they sell for here ( they sell for as much as a top model dyson or miele, I would.t recommend them at all |

My sister bought one for her in between vacuuming and thought it was wonderful so I can over to watch it run. Well it never picked up the dog hair off the rugs, it scattered stuff, it didn't really cover the whole room not to mention its a noisey little thing. But she said oh don't you just love it, look at how wonderful it is. Im like yep what ever, time to adjust your glasses and stick with your Convertible. Now I would like to find a cheap used one just to watch the dogs chase it.
