I want one - got hardwood floods in hallway and extension, and with a dog and child, at this time of year in particular, they are constantly a bit dirty/grubby

so I want something that i can kick off each day that will go round and pick up all the bits of shite and dust etc

the mrs has dismissed them all as shit as she had one years ago, but it was a cheap one off wowcher or something

been having a look, you can spend anything from £150 to £600

am more inclined to try the cheaper ones, they all look the same anyway

thinking something like this at £150

but then there's a "new" model of that though it's £320

https://www.amazon.co.uk/eufy-RoboVac-Dynamic-Navigation-Boundary-dp-B088D1BRCJ/dp/B088D1BRCJ/ref=dp_ob_title_home

I'm not opposed to spending that if it works and i don't have to constantly keep on top of it but not if it's shite and I still end up having to get the hoover out

anyone got one? are they any good?

I bet hoovers were better in the 60’s

Make sure it’s Hetty. Using Henry would just be wrong on so many levels.

it still feels wrong though that you are unloading straight into her nose

Buy a black Sharpie pen and adjust things so it becomes her mouth if it feels a bit wrong or weird doing it into a vacuum cleaner’s nose.

Had a Shark, 2 different Vax's, and a plethora of other shite. They're okay (never brilliant) for a month or so, then either something fails (on the Vax it was always the belt that drove the roller), or they just gradually lose suction as the battery life plummets. Never again. Can't beat a Henry plugged into the mains.

My sharks brill. You mustn't be hoovering correctly.

Fella has one of those little robot hoovers. He loves it. I call him a lazy cunt.

Also stop being a cock 

Her shark works fine 

Yours doesn't 

Suggesting someone is lying because your one may not work is proper shithouse

Arguing over who has the Shittest vacuum is proper club shop straightener tackle.

Papa John's v utd though when all the single mums turn up bringing their kids for a quid a ticket. 

They'd appreciate the domestic-appliance-off

When you’ve got OCD and like a clean and tidy house

And been up in the Toon for 2 days

And you get back and the grandkids have been round, and the SiL with her dog, and your house looks as clean as Beirut in the 70s

Press the button, sit back with a few beers, watch the match, and by the time Rashford has banged in the third the whole of the ground floor is hoovered and the robot has gone back to its base to charge itself.

No. Fucking. Brainer

No nerve touched 

Just curious of how you can assess my vacuum, which you don't have access to, then you can make such a claim

Sharks are pretty naff..

loads of carpet cleaners bought them and then binned them off as the build quality isn't up to scratch..       

With our shark

Does it do a good job - yes

Is it something my missus can use - yes

“Phimosis reduced with a dorsal slit” sounds like one of the most harrowing surgeries possible.

Especially if you’re Jewish.
