Get Roomba. Quiet, affordable, and does the job well. You’ll never have to vacuum again, just turn it on and put your feet up while it does the work.

Answer by Freedom
I have a 4 year old Roomba Discovery and I love it. It goes under beds and furniture and it is very quiet. The only problem is that the innards get clogged up with dust and carpet fibres and it stops working. The best thing to do for this is to clean the inside with a can of Air Duster.
The first time it quit, I took it apart and cleaned it out manually, but it’s much faster to just stick the straw inside and give it a spray.
What do you think? Answer below!

I like the idea of a robot vacuum but I’m unsure about how efficient they are and what sort of problem are there. I’m disabled and have a dog. Any advice is appreciated

Answer by Mom of 2 great boys
They only do surface cleaning. Not deep down.
The compartment needs to be empty often.
The battery lasts about a year, and they are very expensive to replace.
I have owned one, but don’t use it anymore because the batteries are too expensive.
