Finally got a Nintendo Switch - pretty incredible design from Nintendo on this one.

Also purchased Govee lights (they're knockoff Philips Hue for a fraction of the price) that comes in on Saturday!

I bought my wife a Roomba for Valentines (don’t judge. She told me that there was nothing she wanted more). That was one of the best purchases I’ve ever made. It’s already making a big difference with three kids and a dog running around all day.

Always curious about these things, but what is the capacity? I mean how much can this really clean up at a time?

It can do our entire first floor (approx 1300+ sq ft). We have to empty the bin after every job, but that’s not a big deal at all. It will stop and send a notification to your phone if it gets full or stuck or anything like that.

That is much more than I would have thought...especially with dog hair. The shedding here is out of control right now.

the roomba is totally worth it, just the ability to get underneath furniture (couch/beds) alone is great. I usually let the roomba go every other day and use the full vacuum twice a month. I have two small kids, but no pets.

Well, ours is a short hair chihuahua, so there really isn’t that much dog hair. But you could probably run it once a day and it wouldn’t be too bad. We’re running ours three times a week. I actually forgot that it was scheduled to run last night and didn’t know until I woke up this morning and had the notification on my phone about it finishing.

Hmm, I have a lab, but even if I have to run it a few extra times...

My brother has a boxer / beagle mix that sheds like crazy and his roomba has been quite efficient

You folks using the 675, the 980, or something else? I’m considering one.

I'm old, I got a wobble cushion for my lower back issue. Suck it bitches and all of its glory:

I got the 675. It doesn’t have all the features, and some of those are pretty nice, but I just couldn’t justify paying the extra for them.

We just got a 2021 Pacifica Pinnacle - had to get another minivan for our old dog...too hard to get her into anything else.

Has anyone’s Roomba become “drunk” as a result of the newest update as is being reported? I’m not giving up on it, I’m postponing my purchase until the patch hits.

[Bluewater34]

Well, the 675 always just kind of wanders around bumping into things, so I’m not sure I’d notice the difference. But I also run mine at times when I’m not really paying attention to it, so I haven’t seen anything. It seems to be working fine.

Drunk Roomba? I think I want one MORE after reading that. He sounds like a good time.

[Jayes]

that’s just how the article I read described its newest update flaws.
