I bought a Roomba that can mop and vacuum (pricey models are great).
I bought a bunch of replacement rags/mops on
Temu for a few euros, and exchange them every now and then. All you have to do besides that is fill its water tank with clean water and floor soap.
I also went on my Roomba's App, drew out a map of my house, and set a cleaning schedule for every single day on setting 'deep clean'. And he keeps the floors like 98% spotless, while we have 2 long-haired dogs and 1 short hair cat.
We still vacuum and mop ourselves like once a week or so. But if need be we could easily skip that. The difference has been amazing.
Googly eyes are optional. ;)
Why do it yourself if a robot can do it for you?
We have a roomba with the self emptying container. Works great for quick cleans, with our previous 2 and now our current big boy. We also have a stick vac to get the edges the roomba can't reach or tight spaces. For the bedroom we have a standard rug beater to handle all the floofs the roomba can't pick up! Currently in mid blow so they are working overtime.
Correct. I got my first basic roomba very cheap from a friend and found out it worked well in my house. Eventually upgraded to a self emptying roomba when it died and then bought my first vac/mop combo after the second roomba died.
Hi, I’m not a mom but my roomba with self-emptying base is a - and I cannot stress this enough - fucking lifesaver.
I have three cats, have hardwood and carpet and the roomba is literally one of the only reasons my floors look evenremotely clean. Beware: I owned one without the self-emptying base thing and I never used it because emptying it every time it was full was a barrier I wouldn’tget past. Getting the base where the roomba empties itself is a GAME CHANGER.
Lol, we have like 5 of them at this point. We have a self emptying Roomba on our second floor which is all carpet, and a Dreame vacuum/mop combo for our first floor, which is hardwood and rugs. My daughter has one in her room, we have one in the garage, and we have one in the all seasons room. They're the best.
I have a Roomba. The one that his a tower that charges it and holds all the dirt. For Roomba at least, you have to have the self empty thing or it's useless. The holding area for dirt is really small.
I program mine to do a couple of rooms on the main floor every night. It's not as good as a manual vacuum, but it's great for getting pet hair, etc. up. I have wood floors and the big thing is that it vacuums the laundry room where the cat box is every night. It gets most of the litter and this is really nice. I used to have to spot vacuum down there every other day.
So, I would say if you have it run every night it's very useful. My floors are way cleaner now than when I used to manually vacuum once a week.

Reliable, great mopping (lifts pads), but poor cable avoidance.
