Anyone has this? Im looking into getting one, and would like to hear some reviews, and why a certain model over another one.

Thanks!

My sister has a roomba and really likes it. She has no kids at home so I don't think she could comment on if it would work on a really messy floor.

I had the roomba and scuba.
They can easily get stuck under a China closet or couch if it's not low enough. Also, if there's too many things in the way like table and chairs... Then it may miss a part of the room.

I loved it that I set it to run when I left to work.
Keep in a cool room (not hot) or the "computer" breaks.

I'd like to look into this as well. Would try the vacuum one first for hardwood and ceramic floor and if I goes well I would consider the washing one too.
Does the bottom of the furniture/walls/doors get knocked up when the machine hits it and needs to turn itself? This is an important deciding factor for me.

The roomba is great as long as yu have a relatively clutter free open environment. If you have a lot of furniture and not much floor space, it doesn't work well. But that's also true for human labor as it's easy to vacuum a large clear floor area but tedious when you have lots of furniture to maneuver under and around

I had read similarly about the rooms mop as you set boundaries similar to an invisible fence. If you have a large expanse of floor, it works well. If you have a small kitchen floor, not so well.

My kitchen floor isnt that small but its not huge either. I have a pretty nice sized hallway and regular size dining room. 2 bedrooms which dont have that much floor space. I really want this since I hate washing my floors 🙈

Have you checked reviews on Amazon. I can generally get a feel by reading a lot reviews ascot whether the device is bad and/or might not work for my situation.

You can also ask questions and the answers can also be very helpful
