I found it to be opposite. The robots are good in open areas. Mine would get stuck on legs, wedge underneath things or would be banging into things,raptors909 wrote: ↑ Roombas are good to clean under the couch and hard to reach spots. I'm always surprised at how much dust it picks up.
I can't comment on this roomba, but mine is also very loud and annoying to have on.
Typically I use it before guest come over, as I am frantically cleaning the house anyways and don't mind the noise.
I don't think a roomba can replace a dyson, but it does help a bit.
I got rid of my "dumb" robot vacuum because of the layout of my house and how much it would damage things or waste time
I have had my S360 for a year now and it maps out everything perfectly. Set boundaries on the app, saves multiple floors, big dust bin, auto return and restart. Honestly once you get a mapping one it is hard to go back. Regardless I still need to vacuum from time to time but it has cut down vacuuming 1-2 times a day to 1-2 times a week. If I didn't have heavy shedding dogs I would rarely have to vacuum.
