But the cleaners do more than the floors. Vacuuming takes me about 20 minutes once a week. I don't really see the point when I live in a 2 bed apartment.

I was surprised to discover that if you run the robot vac once a day or even every second day it significantly reduces the amount of dust that ends up on other surfaces.

You just schedule it and forget it. As everyone says it doesn't do as good of a job as you do but the main benifit is it's consistent about doing that job more frequently.

If 20 minutes is all you need once a week, yeah it maybe doesnt make sense for you.

I have a dog and need to vacuum at least once a day, currently.

Without a robot vacuum, Id go crazy.

Ok fair enough.

> I don't really see the point.

You save the 20 minutes once a week.

That's it. That is the whole point. A slight convenience. I use one in a 1 bedroom apartment.

Considering some of these things can cost almost £1000. This firmly then lives in the total waste of money pile then. I will stick with my £50 tesco vacuum thank you.

I bought mine about 6 years ago for 200 EUR then. Still works. Had to switch the battery once.
