(NEW!) Eureka J20 Robot Vacuum and Mop

What an amazing time saver. The experience since the vacuum robots from 5 years ago is so much different today. I have 5 people in my household with 3 cats. There is a daily blast of crumbs, pet hair, loose long human hair that I constantly tackle every day. There isn't a way around it, I must vacuum and mop every day to keep my home decently clean. Finding time to do so is also hard. If I miss a single day of cleaning my home looks absolutely terrible. I've been through a few generations of vacuum robots that made automation impossible. From jamming, ineffective random bumping into objects, hair clogs on the under brush - these things made even using the vacuum robots a PIA. It's not perfect but I finally found one where I can just run it and trust it to clean my floors. This vacuum mop is amazing. It solves many of the problems that I had with previous generation vacuum/mops that always required some sort of manual intervention. - Obstacle avoidance. It is amazing at dodging and moving around objects. I set a minefield of objects and it navigated around them easily. This is on its lax detection mode as well, I can set it up for in a much more strict mode to avoid objects which I didn't even need to do. - Hair clogs. Skeptical at first but it also has a blade that cuts out the hair that tangles on its roller brush . I've been running it through many cycles and checked. Not one hair is tangled on it. I also checked the dust bag to make sure it was doing its job and its all in there. One of the biggest annoyances in previous generations was that you would have to manually open the roller and cut off all the tangled hair. This does it automatically for you. - Mopping - has been working well however I haven't had a big spill or mess so far. It has kept my floor clean with hair and bread crumbs. The mop arm extends out and cleans that extra space that it wouldn't have if it didnt. - Navigation - These new lidar equipped vacuums are amazing. They map and cover every inch of floor efficiently. The mopping after is also done in a parallel line that it knows where its mopped before. Previously my old iRobot would just randomly bump into walls and objects and just move back and fourth without direction and miss a ton of spots. - Camera/Patrol - I honestly only tried it for kicks and have not really used its patrol system much. I did snoop on my pets to test it out and it works well but maybe will only use it if I am on vacation away from home.
