Biggie to Rover: I can't quit you

[susandennis]

So Rover woke up for his 10 minute workout a little bit ago. Biggie came out from the closet where he was napping to check it out. They swatted at each other for a bit and then Biggie turned and walked away. Then Rover started flapping and he went back. Then he walked away, then he went back. This went on over and over and over again. So funny.

And come Friday, there will be a new sheriff in town. In trying to noodle out my vacuum situation, I looked at all of them and fell in love with none because if I got a vacuum, I'd have to actually vacuum. Years ago I had a series of Roombas. The concept is solid but, at the time, they weren't developed enough. Times change so I looked again. And while Roomba is still, it appears, to be king, there are lots of other excellent players. So I looked at all of those and ended up ordering a Eufy 30 from Amazon. It will be here Friday.

I went down the hall to start cleaning in the sewing room and remembered a shirt I had started and not finished. So I finished it. Instead of cleaning. Tomorrow will be soon enough to clean.

The cleaner picked up her money that I had taped to the door. Whew. That I had cash I owed her and no way to get it to her was really bugging me. No more. Whew.

I changed out the comforter. I love my Spring and Summer bed linens. The winter one is great to snuggle under but I don't like how it looks on the bed. Not so with the Spring and Summer ones. They make me smile every time I walk by.

Now it's time to clean the kitchen. I don't think I even washed the plate from last night's dinner yet.

Like you, I decided to get a Roomba. I started reading reviews. Someone said it wasn't as good as their Eufy, so I looked them up, and found them to be the most recommended. So that's what I have, I'm very happy with it. I can't let it run unsupervised, though, because of all the furniture and electric cords in the house here.

Great to hear. Tomorrow will be a clean up of all the ShitThatTheEufyWillHate on the floor. Monitoring a robotic vacuum is still way better than pushing the non robotic kind!

For sure!

Let us know your thoughts on the Eufy. I'm shopping around too. Really need something to manage the cat hair, it's everywhere but I'd be thrilled to just manage what's on the floor without hauling out the Big Vacuum.

stay tuned for updates!

I've also had a series of Roombas, and just invested in a replacement battery for one of them. So nice to have it be able to get a whole round done instead of need multiple charges to finish the house!

But if I end up needing to buy something new, I'll definitely look at the competition. I'll be curious how you like the Eufy!

I bought an insurance policy on the Eufy which I never ever do but - Roomba flashbacks. :) If I never have to need it, it will have done it's job.

Can't wait to hear how your Eufy goes! I haven't done my own cleaning in twenty years so the lockdown separation from my cleaner is a shock. Three and a bit weeks in and although I've kept the bathroom and kitchen clean I haven't managed to get out the vacuum cleaner yet. (I have mostly hardwood floors, which means vacuuming then mopping, and...nope.) I pay for my mother's cleaner and she's been equally shocked by being thrown onto her own resources. Unlike me she's actually vacuumed, but I've suggested a robot cleaner in the past for her to keep the cat hair on the carpet situation under control, so I'm dying to see how yours goes to see if I should get one for her.

Watch this space!

I would love a Roomba but almost every room in our house is on a different level, so I would need 5 to cover them all or move one about

New technology always takes time to develop. If you've ever seen a really old computer or answering machine or microwave you'll know.
