So far it's does a really nice job. The back brushes scrub the floor and you add about half a bottle of water every few days and that is what picks up the dust. It has a timer when you want to start which is nice and an app where you can be away and start it.

presumably you have to move the dining chairs for it to clean under the table and where the chairs were?

Depends on your table and chair gaps. We leave ours a bit out and it just spins underneath and picks up anything. Again as I mentioned, check your home items and check the robo cleaner diameter and height.

I have used the Roomba for ages. Works good enough on the wood floors of my house. I guess it is time to start research to see if I need to upgrade.

I just grabbed the new S22 plus the other day. I was going to go with the ultra, but when I got it in my hand, it was stupid big. After having my S22 for a few days and getting it all set up, I got a Galaxy watch 4 to go along with it. Holy crap, that is going to take a deep dive to get dialed in, but I am not sure if it will be on the wrist long as I need to keep a good watch rotation going. I enjoy my Seiko monster, Panerai's and Omega's.

I was watching a couple of YT vids on getting it all set up. I think it is going to be really cool to use at the gym.

You got one of those home gyms set up in your basement Snubs?

well you can mention it all you like, but quite frankly a dining table with 8 chairs ain't getting swept unless you move it, nor is just about any other furniture i have bought - unless you move it or buy special needs furniture for the borrowers to walk under

will see tomorrow if there is an improvement.

They do not change ride height though, am already up in the front 3 inches and rear 1 inch.

As a follow up

huge improvement, cornering much flatter and can now high speed lane change on the motorway like a demon !!

Just arrived. Unfortunately the instruction booklet is only in Thai, and I can't find an English version on-line, so M'Sahib will be master of it.

Yep. Exact same here but what's funny is the app set up is all in English. My wife manages the cleaner.
It comes on at 9am and does its thing while we are downstairs

OK, pretty much set up now, App installed etc. This first time it's creating its own 'map' of the area (which is then shown in the phone App). You're right about things such as dining table/chairs etc, though fortunately ours don't appear to be presenting it a problem. It's also going under the two sofas quite comfortably. Obviously there are some areas such as around lamps, speakers etc for which the Dyson will be in action.

what do the dogs and cats make of it?

Ours does the same dance around our chairs and table. Again if they are out just a bit it zips around no issues. We did have to remove some small very inexpensive Thai throw rugs as the spinning whisk brooms would get spun up in it.

It took ours about 3 days to establish the full map but now just launches and does it thing. I am really amazed how well it works and how nice the floors and along the wall area look.

One more bit of info, after first using it we had to clean the system a few times because it was cleaning in areas that didn't get much attention ( under couches, beds and tables). Once all that was policed up now it doesn't need too much attention other than the water fill up.

Nope. I have a Peloton and a rowing machine at home, but they are not in the basement. I rent that out to blokes like you.

I note the skin condition of one of your pitties and as my Pit bull has a problem with his skin is this a common problem with this breed of dog?

I brush and check him for ticks and fleas daily but he constantly is scrathing himself due to this condition.

Is there any solution or medication that you use?

That vacuum reminds me of breaking bad!

Yes, she's had it for a couple of years, and yes, our vet tells us it's a common problem with short haired dogs and Pits in particular here. We use this stuff, which is used every 3 days until the skin clears, then once a week. The other dogs are once a week. She's not had it for the last 3 or 4 weeks due to the constant rain, but the forecast is reasonable for the next few days so the treatment will start again.

Not to be outdone by my buying the Autobot Lazer 5 (now known as Robbie the Robot), M'Sahib went full domestic Godess and ordered a cordless electric mop/floor cleaner which has just arrived. Apparently you don't push it, it drives itself, and has 2 chambers, one for clean water/detergent, one for the dirty water it sucks up. Charging overnight, will be swung into action tomorrow. As an aside, a few days of using 'Robbie', what an excellent bit of kit.

You should knock up a face for Robbie
