Comment on Ecovacs home robots can be hacked to spy on their owners, researchers say

  I dispise vacuuming and sweeping and I have 2 canines, so there’s a lot of fur and grime on the floor that needs regular tending to. I bought the roomba model that is self charging and self emptying, so you can just let it run in a set it and forget it fashion.

  Alternatively, it also actually helps motivate me to do other chores as well. I have to pick up everything off the floor before running the vac, and at that point I just start tidying up other things while letting it run.

    Oh OK cool I didn’t realize they had self cleaning ones now. That does sound really convenient for hairy dogs

      Mine also mops, refills the mop water and soap, washes it’s own mop, and drains the dirty water down the drain.

  I have a German Shepherd who sheds a lot and my vacuum runs every, single, day.

  Being able to offload all that work to a machine is a godsend.

  I hate lugging around that heavy noisy thing, and I don’t have pets. I’m a bit shocked at how much hair two humans drop in a week. The robovac runs twice a week and I empty it once a week, and it keeps the more open/obvious spaces looking pretty pristine. Dust on a shiny floor really shows. There are places where it cannot go and those need to be done by me, but they’re less visible areas so no need for frequent vacuuming.
