The game changer in robot vacs for me was the emptying station. My first one didn't have it and it just sat in the corner. Full.

Same.
Though I'm not a vacuum cleaner, I just eat a lot. And I will also cry.

Doesn't that lock you in to a specific type of bag that only the robot manufacturer creates?

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 4 points 1 month ago

It does but I am still on my first ten pack so ...

Also there are for sure some alternative bags, I just didn't put time in to find them.

Shark robot vacuums don’t use bags at least

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

You still have to empty the station tho

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I do that three times a year. It works for me.

[–] drmoose@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

No way you change the stinky dirty water only once every four months?

[–] prenatal_confusion@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Ah, mine does vacuum only :)
