Anybody here use those? I have a one floor, 1300 sq. ft. condo. No pets. Which one is the best bet for me? I see the price ranges from $150-$700 and I can barely see the difference.

They get hung up on everything. Not worth it IMO.

Get a neato. They work better and are cheaper

get one with mapping.

I recently bought a shark. It has mapping and a little mothership station where it can empty itself out. I have 3 dogs and it has saved me from having to vacuum every day to make the house livable. I still have to vacuum every week or so but it helps. Make sure you keep it clean.

They are loud, bang into everything and get stuck on anything on the floor. I personally hate it, but my wife still runs it once a day because she is a neat freak.

We have one of the cordless stick vacuum's from Dyson, and I really like that for dog hair.

Completely false. I have had my i7+ for a few months and I recall maybe once that it's hung up on something.

I was highly skeptical, but we absolutely love it. Auto-empty is a gamechanger as well.

That sounds a lot better. Is the roller/bristle (whatever you call it) a pain in the arse to clean?

I love my slave and use him all the time. He ran for 2 hours yesterday.

I forget to use him every day, but if I remember, it really stays on top of the pet hair. If you don't have pets, I don't really know that you need it.. unless you just hate sweeping that much.

I have the Roborock brand. It was the #1 rated brand when I researched it.

We have the Roomba 692 and it works well for our 1100 sq ft house. We run it every other day due to having a dog and our floors are always clean. Like another poster said, it gets caught up on a lot (i.e. stuck under couches). They are 100% worth it IMO.

That's true...if you don't have any pets I don't think any of them would be worth the price.

Worth every penny. I run mine daily. It will run about an hour and cover my 2000 sq ft home before returning to its dock. Was easy to pick up cords and things so that it doesn’t get caught.

Why does everyone have to buy China shite? What happened to saving or doing something good with that measly $600?

our roborock is awesome; incredible value and it maps the floor and avoids obstacles.

You better put some rims on it, baw, or you're not doing it right.

I feel like you have stringently tested this.

The iFloor vacuum/mop is pretty great as well. I’d look into that.
