re: Roomba vs traditional vacuum

We adopted a German shepherd mix in August. Right now she is shedding like crazy. I run the Roomba daily, and usually have to empty out the bin halfway through the run.

Roombas are great if you run them almost daily; it beats having to sweep or manually vacuum every day. But if you're only running it once a week or less, then it will be less effective.

Also, don't run the Roomba when you're not home. If your dog has an accident, you don't want the Roomba dragging that all over your house.
