Recommend a robot vacuum cleaner?

Question

Robotics

Hi Habr!
Recently, I thought about automating cleaning in the apartment and the idea came to my mind to buy a robot vacuum cleaner.
My apartment is 92 sq.m. with a floor made of parquet boards and tiles, no carpets, but there are sills (not more than 3mm high). And there is the main difficulty - this is a Maine Coon cat named Gray, who is 9 months old, and he continues to grow ...
Actually, the question is - is any robot vacuum cleaner suitable for such an apartment? It is necessary that he cope with cat hair and crumbs, and also be anti-vandal - the cat will clearly be against such a resident in the apartment. It is desirable that he worked while I went to work and went back to charge myself.
I have already considered models from iRobot, but decided to consult with the community. You never know if you have experience using such a “device”, perhaps this experience will be useful to someone else.

Answer 1

Bought iClebo Arte. Thanks for answers!
I can write a review if needed

Answer 2

I have been using the rumba airbot for two years now. About once every 3 weeks I clean hard-to-reach places with a conventional vacuum cleaner. No problems. Auto-programming is present at the right time, but I never use it. It walks normally through thresholds and carpets. A specific model, taking into account the kote, the area of ​​\u200b\u200bthe apartment and the height of the transition carpets, will always be told to you in the store.

Answer 3

Or maybe not worth it?

Answer 4

At the moment, the best, it seems to me, is iClebo Arte
qrobot.ru/test_iclebo_arte
Lithium-ion battery (Li-Ion). No other robot has this (they all use a nickel metal hydride (Ni-MH) battery). And iClebo Arte has no memory effect, with a long service life and increased electrical capacity.
Intelligent system. iClebo Arte uses the built-in camera to photograph the ceiling, build a map of the room and create a route.
Rag-polisher. Allows you to remove fine dust deposited on smooth surfaces such as laminate and parquet.
Production in Korea. All other robots are assembled in China.

Answer 5

If the cat lays a mine in the path of the robot, get ready to change the robot's fee for 5k. Verified :)

Answer 6

If you still think about iRobot, then today there are sales of not the latest model 581 for only 300 bucks: www.ebay.com/itm/360484078674 Further forwarding via polexp.com will cost 60-80 bucks and you will need to solder the power supply to support 220v. Craftsmen take 500 rubles for this, but a friend asked for 100 rubles for all spare parts. There are a lot of video with the alteration on the Internet.

Answer 7

My sititek robo-sos lr-450 may well suit your requirements. He returns to base. Removes without your presence. The dust container capacity is 800 ml, which is much more than most other models and you do not have to clean it often. The low noise level will not annoy your cat.

Answer 9

There is a cat in front of the house. not Maine Coon of course, but enough wool. For myself, I chose this option: IRobot Roomba 776.
IRobot Roomba 776 is the 760 version for apartments with animals. Recognizes cat litter boxes. Removes well. Separate roller for wool. Here in the review there are more details https://smartbobr.ru/umnyj-dom/pylesos-irobot-room... .
Chose from two. Second model : Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum. It's a little cheaper - but not much, plus harder to find for some reason. But in the end I chose a rumba especially for apartments with animals.
