No problems derailing the thread, it's still about robot vacuum cleaners.
I'm concerned about it getting stuck on one of the higher thresholds, going under the bed in my room and not being able to get back out, or the cat somehow intefering with it or damaging it. I've seen plenty of videos with cats riding Roombas so I suspect this isn't a problem, but I'm still concerned.
The docking station would be placed under a high cupboard in the dining room.
Do you think it seems feasible? I would hate to get a robot and then find out that it gets stuck in just one room. Ideally, I'd just place it, enter instructions, and clean its bag once a week.
Realistically robots aren't going to do multiple rooms well anyway. Mostly you have to move them from room to room. Also you have to empty them much more frequently if you have a lot of dust or a cat or dog.
People are often disappointed with these. Don't get high expectations. Just sayin'
