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 felt like mine was so loud and took like 2+ hours to do like 3 rooms. I could sweep/mop/vacuum that space in like 10 minutes so the droning for so long was making me crazy. I tried really hard to make it work for a few months but it ate my curtains and I threw it straight in the trash. Never looked back. Just - buyer beware, lol.
