I don't have one, but one of my friends has one that they have run a few times a week. They have a cat and dog and says it helps with the pet hair.
It was running when I was there a while back. They "told" it turn off via an app and it backed up to this docking station and a loud vacuum started up and sucked up the dust from the rover itself I guess? The Roomba rover part itself was pretty quiet but the docking station was pretty loud. It only ran for a few seconds though. | ||

I was super interested in the LG CordZero R9 until I saw the price. The same thing goes for the Dyson robotic vacuum cleaners. I would only ever buy one because I think the technology is cool and not necessarily because I have a use for one, but they are too expensive to warrant a novelty purchase. I am just crossing my fingers and hoping to find one second-hand for a reasonable price.

I've had some
very limited experience with them here. If you had hard floors they'd be fine, but on carpet they're certainly not a vacuum replacement they're really more of a surface cleaner but great for maintaining the appearance of clean.
Roomba 600 series. This was the first one I used I wasn't terribly impressed with it as this still used that random bump navigation it was rather funny to watch the cat interact with it the first few times. Neato Botvac D80 This replaced the roomba It was much better navigation wise as it would do a perimeter and then start at one end of what it thought was a room working back and forth till the space was complete. The only gripe with it was it was difficult to keep it away from things as I lacked the magnetic stripping used to signal them to keep out. Neato D3: Found this on martketplace. It lacks a side brush but the app controls are a lovely feature with them I can draw no go lines on the app to keep it away from the cat's water dish and such. | ||

I have a cheapo robot vac that has no brushroll and only a squeegee and it works pretty well on hard floors.
It's not as loud as a normal vacuum but it's not as pleasant sounding as a normal vacuum either. Unlike more high-end robot vacuums it doesn't have a lidar so it's navigation is really poor. It also doesn't have those invisible wall things that prevent it from going into certain places. Mine likes to go in the showers and then the bin gets all moist and it's a pain in the *** to clean it afterwards. I much prefer just using my normal vacuums than having to babysit a dumb robot vacuum. My experience would have been better if it were a high-end robot vacuum but I still prefer using a normal vacuum either way. Although my normie friends think otherwise. | ||

Not only cat barf-the robot vacuums can spread dog poop around,too!A Rumba was brought to the vac shop here some time ago-It spread the poop around-and the owner "executed" it for the crime with his shotgun.And he asked if it could be fixed-vac shop said NO!!Too badly blown up! | ||

I recommend Thamtu G11 I have a Thamtu G11 robot vacuum cleaner. Its cleaning ability is not bad and it is not very expensive. I think it’s cool~ If you have hard floors, they will perform well. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Geor2's LINK | ||

I’ve had some experience with robot vacuums specifically iRobot Roomba’s. My first was an iRobot Roomba 440 and it was decent and basic because at the time it had a fair amount of technology and features. The next was an iRobot Roomba 530. That was a really great machine it just bounced off of the furniture really hard and I was concerned it would damage some of the wood furniture. After those two I ended up with a Neato XV Signature Pro. Neatos we’re fairly new to the market then and had some really sophisticated technology. It was awesome, for about a year. It lost its marbles after that. I still have it packed away, it no longer functions. I then got another iRobot Roomba this time a 790. I still use it to this day and have had it nearly five years. It is truly exceptional and I’ve only had to replace the battery on it just recently. A couple of years ago I added to the 790 an iRobot Roomba 801 that I use occasionally as well in the bedrooms of the house. The Roomba’s really shine for me because I have guinea pigs and they kick out bedding and hay sometimes and the Roomba scoops it all up and gets beneath the cage and all. That’s all I need it for is surface pick up on the carpet. That’s what they’re good for right? I still vacuum with the main vacuum from time to time. It does really great with gay though because of the two counter rotating brushes and the big gaping opening in the bin that they throw all of the dirt into. The 790 is better at big pickup though because the opening is much larger on the bing and brush area than the 801 which I believe is supposed to be more concentrated for improved suction. The 790 cleans better I feel. It is louder, yes, but it came with the really nice accessory case with tons of replenishment items including the wireless command center. I am also one of the only ones who is given robot vacuums at my job to repair because the other technicians get confused with them.

That's a robot I'm excited about
The Trademarked name of it is the Dyson 360 Visnav. Looks greatly improved. I own a Dyson 360, and it's very impressive, but mine has issues with the battery/charger. They quietly pulled the original 360 from the market in the US after a couple years, and I don't think it sold well due to the price, and limitations of the product (poor battery life).
I'm hoping Dyson officially launches this new robot this spring, and this larger model looks like it will be intended for the US market. Hopefully it's not too much more than original 360 was, but I'm guessing it will cost at least $1200. For me, the Visnav would also fall under another active thread here, "vacuums you're hoping will come out in 2022." | ||
