Manual or robot?
I just bought this a couple of months ago, and it has passed the stringent wife test for quality. I've got it set up to run on different floors and it's good at figuring out how to navigate. When it goes back to the charging dock, it empties itself into a little bag that I only change every couple of months. It also mops hard surfaces, but I haven't worked on that yet. The documentation isn't superb so I've been learning one new feature at a time.

Vacuum wars on YouTube is a good channel to check out. I ended up with a shark IQ based on his rec. I have to clean it out once a week for the dog and wife hair but it really works good to vacuum while we’re at work. [Reply]

Of course you did....
Because we have one as well and yeah, it's pretty slick. The big difference is the radar guided mapping thing where it makes straight lines in individual rooms instead of bouncing around at random like our old ones did.
I kinda like it being able to unload fur into the docking station at all, but more than anything I like knowing that it's going to hit each corner of each room and I can use my phone to tell it to hit a specific room again and just do those little uniform lines that get everywhere instead of the random patters that always seemed to be pretty similar and left areas uncovered.

Dyson is a little pricey, but great quality. I have 2 sticks and one corded. The sticks are very handy. The suction on the corded...golf ball/garden hose.
My wife likes the Dyson corded better then her German Miele vacuum. And Miele's are not cheap! [Reply]
We have one of those also - they are EXCELLENT if your dog will tolerate them. Or if you can just corner him. Our black lab is just the sweetest thing in the world but he's also a gigantic pussy. Strong as an ox but wouldn't dream of hurting anyone even though he gets scared of anything that buzzes.
I tried to put him in a grooming harness hooked to a card table to dremel his nails a few months back - dog wouldn't bite or snarl or anything but he pulled so hard that he bent the piece of 1/4 inch steel that held the arm to the table and finally spun it loose.
You turn the vacuum on and try that brush and he'll back into a corner before becoming a quivering mess. We try to go fast because you can't just not groom him - he sheds like crazy. But not all dogs will tolerate it. [Reply]
I probably said this before, but Olukai footwear. Most comfortable casual shoes �� be ever worn. Have three pairs for work, a pair for driving, and a couple pairs for nights out. Worth every penny and then some. [Reply]
I'm not much into flipflops or things associated with Alex Smith, and while they're too geriatric looking for my style, I do enjoy wearing these Oofos my wife picked up for me for around the house.
They're marketed as a recovery sandal. I'm not sure how effective they are but as someone recovering from a leg injury, they're certainly more comfortable than the slides I've been wearing. [Reply]
