Working Mom Success Ro 👏🏼 bot 👏🏼 vac 👏🏼 uum
This is not an ad or a bot. I am a cheap and stubborn mom who is here to admit that I was wrong!
I am generally not a very spendy person. I tend to agonize over large purchases and resist consumerism when I can. But HECK you guys, we splurged on a robot vacuum a week ago and I cannot express how satisfying it’s been.
I’ve seen mixed results in reviews online but our house is like the perfect scenario with:
-single story
-hard floors
-minimal stuff and furniture with taller legs
Now before bed, we load the dishwasher while the robot vacuums and mops the house and wake up with floors clean like a fancy hotel. I would say I got an hour of my time back but let’s be honest, I was NOT cleaning the floors every day- we were just living in a grungy house lol.

I had one and honestly I was not a fan. We have 4 pets and it just couldn’t handle all the fur. We have thicker carpet and it didn’t have the suctioning power. It would get stuck on the ledge to the basement stairs all the time. I had to manually vacuum anyways so I got rid of it.
