[Electronics-Talk] Robotic Vacuum Cleaners Info Request

[Sherry Gomes]

I have a roomba, level 9 series. I am not fond of it actually, but I have hard wood floors though my house and a dog that sheds a lot. I don't like how loud it is when doing its job. And it's a sound that hurts my ears. It does an okay job, for the most part, but I often have to pick it up and get the dog hair out of its wheels and rollers. Also, once it tried to suck up electric cords which it shouldn't do. I can't find what they call barrier strips or bumps for it which tells it to stay out of certain areas. 

The app is pretty accessible, except that I need sighted help to mark up the map. If I could get that done, I could set it just to vacuum the living room, for instance, which is actually where most of my dog's hair is! Lol. 

I had another brand originally, called Trifo. I liked it better. It was definitely quieter, and it seemed to do a bit better job on the dog hair. But though several of us tried, we could never get it to link up to its own app, let alone to Alexa, which it was supposed to be able to do.

     I am considering purchasing one of these, and want for it to be accessible and also able to pick up dog hair. Any recommendations would be appreciated.


Thanks.
