Re: OT: Robo Vacs
I bought a Mint 4200 a few years back ... very basic, just pushes a pad around, dust and hair accumulate at the front of the pad (static?) and returns to it's spot when finished. 'Navigation beacons' I ran it once a week, or whenever wife was out ...crowded house, I'd pick up chairs and kids stuff from the floors, set it up and go read a book. Lower profile than the Roomba, and great for Wooden floors, was good picking up dust and hair after three girls. My wife complained it that it dropped dust in the corners, but I didn't see the issue. Mint were acquired by Roomba a few years back; newer versions have better room partitioning and longer battery. I've replaced the battery, and repaired the slipping wheel tracks, still works OK in my new place (smaller, and less hair :) ).

Re: OT: Robo Vacs
I found it depends on your floors and what your idea of clean is. Forget carpet. Tiles and timber floors they are ok, just ok. Not worth the money imo. You can sweep (those material heads, I forget the name) and do an equivalent if not better job in a few mins on hard floors.

OT: Robo Vacs
Hi All, Very off topic but what success has anyone had here with robo vacs? Our 11 month old German Shepherd is blowing her coat and the place is dog hair central hence the question. I know a few people who have had them but they've died after a few months etc. The better ones that can self empty etc seem to be around the $1500 mark - which gets up there in price as we have two floors and they haven't invented one that climbs stairs yet. :) David Connors da...@connors.com | M +61 417 189 363 Telegram: https://t.me/davidconnors LinkedIn: http://au.linkedin.com/in/davidjohnconnors
