Working Mom Success Ro πŸ‘πŸΌ bot πŸ‘πŸΌ vac πŸ‘πŸΌ 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.

Lol, we have like 5 of them at this point. We have a self emptying Roomba on our second floor which is all carpet, and a Dreame vacuum/mop combo for our first floor, which is hardwood and rugs. My daughter has one in her room, we have one in the garage, and we have one in the all seasons room. They're the best.

Hows the Roomba on the carpet? I've been wanting one but the carpet plus clutter makes me nervous. Will it eat small toys?Β
