Would you like to have one less chore on your “To Do List”? If you answered that so quickly your head spun, then you will want to hear about my experience with a Robot Vacuum.
How many mess makers and furry family members do you have? Plenty? I have a sweet Golden Retriever and 2 Tuxedo Cats. One cat has long hair, his brother has short hair. Our Golden Retriever has a beautiful blond coat and they all shed like crazy.
Does this sound like your house, or do you have more mess makers? Whatever your level of dirt and fur, have you thought about purchasing a Robot Vacuum? Have you read any reviews? Do any of your friends have a Robot Vacuum that they are raving about?
Robot Vacuum – Will a Robot Vacuum really work?
We just moved and were shopping at Target, when I passed a display of Robot Vacuums. In the back of my mind, I thought, with all the Dog and Cat hair we have, a Robot Vacuum can’t possibly vacuum up all that hair and dirt. But the more I thought about the sign on that display, “Kids and Pets Approved” I was very interested if this one really worked. Target is great for returns, even after you’ve used the product. What did I have to lose?
I read the box over a few times, Easy to Use…that is what I need. Works on Hard Floors and Carpet…check again, I have both. Large Dustbin…yes, High Efficiency Filter…great, both my daughter and I have allergies, another check. The other features were all pluses, and the price was cheaper than the ones you see on TV.
The Deebot Ecovacs Robotics Vacuum was coming home with me. I was ready to have my floors clean and one less chore on my “To Do List”.
Robot Vacuum Deebot Vacuum – Test One
My daughter and I were both excited to get the Deebot out of the box and set up, ready to run it’s maiden voyage. It was easy to set up, getting Deebot to the charging port, and then wait for it to charge. The waiting was the hard part.
We were anxious to see this baby in action. Deebot didn’t take long to charge and out it started with the twisting of the dual side brushes and the main brush. Our new Robot Vacuum was picking up hair and dirt, it was fun just to watch it, at least for us humans.
Have you’ve seen the commercial with a cat sitting on top of the Robot Vacuum and thought, I wonder if my cat will do that? Our 2 went and hid under my bed, our Golden Retriever just looked at it, moved out of the way, and ignored it until it came back at her again.
Well, Deebot ran like a champ, cleaned for 2 hours, then returned to the charging station. I check the dustbin and emptied the contents. Wow, that was a lot of animal hair; and I was impressed. I cleaned the filters and rinsed them out with water, pulled hair from the side brushes and then looked at the main brush. Wow, it wasn’t loaded with animal hair! It wasn’t blocked with all that it vacuumed!
Deebot Vacuum – Cleaned better than my upright vacuum
I was really impressed with this vacuum. With my current upright vacuum, the hair would wrap around the main roller, I would spend quite a bit of time cutting it off and trying again to vacuum, only to get frustrated that it wasn’t picking anything up.
This vacuum spent more time in the repair shop than vacuuming my floors, so you can kind of see my frustration with vacuuming. I had bought a high end vacuum, and even tried it out in the store. But it sure wasn’t the vacuum I needed.
Robot Vacuum Deebot Vacuum – Test Two
The weather here has been rain, rain, and more rain. Don’t get me wrong, California needs every drop, so I’m not complaining, but my floors said “Clean Me”. I wasn’t sure if my new robot vacuum would clean the muddy mess or was I going to have to drag out the old mop.
Another test for the Deebot Robotic Vacuum. And drum roll please… The Result – Clean!! What, Really cleaned? No, it couldn’t. But, yes, yes it Did!
Once again I was very impressed, the Deebot Vacuum cleaned the muddy paw prints my dog came inside with. This is an amazing robotic vacuum.
What I find interesting with my Deebot, it’s vacuuming up the same dirt and hair from our same 3 fur family, 1 dog and 2 cats, that the high end upright couldn’t.
One Less Chore on my “To Do List” Thank you, Deebot
Well, I’m sold. My daughter said, “this vacuum works so well, we should buy another one”, just for her room. I’m definitely considering another purchase of a Deebot.
Our allergies have improved, fewer sinus headaches, breathing better than before. That was a big surprise to me. Our house looks and feels clean, as well as smells fresh. Deebot has definitely taken one chore off my “To Do List”.
You may be asking, what does a robotic vacuum have to do with redecorating your bedroom? Well, part of making your bedroom an oasis of relaxation, is having a clean floor. That helps me sleep at night, and I hope it will help you to have pleasant dreams.
I’m very interested, have you tried a robotic vacuum? What are your results? What brand is yours? Would you recommend it or are you sticking with your upright?
Please leave me a comment below to let me know what works in your house and what doesn’t.
No I have not tried those robots because since Y2K we seen a video about how everything came to life and every since my wife hates robots. When we were shopping in a store one day I mentioned a robot vacuum and to my surprise she became interested in it.
Well, I spent the last year looking at the different robot vacuums and with all the different problems most seem to have like can’t pick up dirt and having to take it apart for cleaning all the time I couldn’t see myself getting one until your review.
Now I am very interested in this robot vacuum and I am wondering if you can buy it online?
Thanks for your review Nancy.
Thank you Rick for your comment. I know just what you mean about different vacuums not picking up dirt and hair. What I find interesting with my Deebot, it’s vacuuming up the same dirt and hair from our same 3 fur family, 1 dog and 2 cats, that the high end upright couldn’t. Let me know if you purchase one and how it works for you. Good luck.
Thank you so much for this! I have also looked many times at the robot vacuums and mops that they have on display at my local stores and wondered the same thing. Your experience has definitely added a “Yes!” to my mental tally of if I should get one for my household.
Do you happen to have tile floors? I would love to know how they do with the little grooves that are in between the tiles and if it would be worth it for me to get one considering my whole house is tile.
Hi Angela-thank you for your comment. Sorry, I don’t have tile anywhere, the picture on outside of box shows tile or marble flooring. I would check what the store’s return policy is on this incredible vacuum, and try it out. Good luck.
Great article and website! I like vacuum cleaners and robot vacuum cleaners! Your article is detailed, well written and in depth! I found it very interesting and I learned a lot about robot vacuum cleaners! I enjoyed reading about the tests that you performed with the robot vacuum cleaner! Thank you for writing this great article! Keep up the great work on your website!
Thank you Timothy – for you very nice comment. Since we all have to use a vacuum, we need some truth about which ones work. Good luck.
Hi Nancy,
So glad I stumbled on your site! Delightful.
I have never bought a robotic vacuum because I was not getting good feedback from a few of my friends that had bought one. Could be something to do with the brand……
This Deebot vacuum does seems like the real deal, and it seems like a good investment. The review opened my eyes to the bliss of some extra relaxation. I will be following up on this.
Thanks.
Thank you Ceci – for your comment. Just an update, I have purchased my second one. With moving, the ranch house was a mess from not being there for a while. We took the first one with us, and ran it 2 or 3 times a day. The second one really helped out, as we were visited daily by our neighbor’s 2 Golden Retrievers, mud and dirt also visited. Good luck, I hope you find the right robot vacuum for you.
