    I loooove my robot vac. His name is Barnaby, as he makes binary decisions and always turns to the right. I don’t yet have googly eyes on him, but that is coming someday. He doesn’t deal well with getting stuck in corners, so has to be rescued when this happens. I don’t count this a fault or a problem.

      Pew (pete two, original rommba pete was an aldi special) has extreme issues with our black rug. He thinks it’s a black hole come to claim his soul

      Mum got into those TV shopping things and bought a vacuum that came with a first gen Roomba. Those things were idiotic as. It used to suck up the curtain, end up upside down and spinning it’s wheels back and forth while screaming for help

      This new one is considerably cheaper but does have lidar. It’s also had like 7 years to evolve, let’s see how it’s changed!

      E: actually I was wrong, it couldn’t have been a first gen. Apparently first gen goes all the way back to 2002 (I didn’t know that). In my head, roombas are a recentish thing from the mid 2010s. Don’t remember which one we had exactly, but it was damn near useless
