re: Opinion of robot vacuum for your home?

I have an old, basic Roomba. It is a good supplement to traditional cleaning, but being a "dumb" vac it gets lodged under furniture like a bitch.

our shark had a recessed on/off button on the side but there was this move it made by a corner in our house with a doorstop where it would wind up the spring and it would rebound into the little pocket and turn the robot off. i would come home every day to a dead robot sitting in the front room. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME.

i finally figured out what was going on when i was standing nearby when it did the little trick.

i ended up duct taping a hard piece of plastic over that opening to solve it but good grief.
