It’s been a long time since roombas worked like this.
Nowadays they are highly systematic, mapping out the entire room and start vacuuming the most optimal route for max coverage
So you're saying roombas are more efficient than my adhd brain..
I'm not mad at it.
The model we have (that’s only a few years old) works like this. My favorite is when it’s trying to get back to the dock, it’ll just move aimlessly until it accidentally reaches the vicinity of it and can make it home. A lot of times it runs out of battery. Or gets stuck somewhere (in the same spots because I can’t tell it to avoid problem areas).
The new roborocks are great. Truly, one of my best purchases
Just got one myself, even the basic models are much more intelligent than my old roomba. Can’t wait until robot vacuums consistently stop running over cords (a few models do that pretty well, but none under the $1000 range).
Brand name ones still work like this pretty much, they're pretty bad
Ouff. Yeah I’ve had a roborock for a long time
My little roomba buddy does a pretty good job, and he gets me to clean up my random junk and cables that tend to collect on my floor so he can reach all the spots I want him to clean.
For me this is the real benefit of robot vacuums. I don't want to sweep twice a day so I keep the floor clear for my robot. We have a deal, I keep shit from accumulating on the floor and it provides a cleanliness level somewhere between sweeping and vacuuming.
Twice a day?!
Having cats will do that to you.
Skin pets but same idea
That is the creepiest term for children I have ever heard.
Agreed. 
I had two toddlers, not twins, at the same time learning to feed themselves so I at least had to do the kitchen twice, if not 3 times, a day or there would just be food everywhere. I could have hand fed them I guess but it's easier to clean than feed and self-feeding is a good skill as early as possible I feel. The kitchen was mostly open to 2/3 of the house so doing that room meant I might as well do the rest. Big kitchen, small living space set up.
Yeah this is how I clean the house 80%.
The other 20% is me not cleaning the house and playing with the stuff I find.
Yep me too!
The books in my house will never be dusted because I know I won't get past the first shelf without opening one and sitting down until it's read.
My cleaning process is basically this
Once my battery runs out the light bulb may not be changed but that carburetor is fuckin sparkling. Then the next day I go back in reverse order and finish all the things that led to other things. Mostly.
This was exactly what came to my mind too. I don't even have ADHD (that I know of) but I'm very much like that clip.
Routine is key. Another I do which I find helps me, when there’s a mess, I put it all in a pile and sort it from there.
True, but also routine is absolutely meaningless to a lot of us, can't develop it.
Chaos is the routine.
Our chautine! ... is a way of life we had given no consent to.
The only routine is that we can't keep one
Normal folk really can't comprehend this.
(I guess it is hard to imagine, but don't call me a liar.)
It's the most peaceful (yet stressful) cleaning I manage on most days I even clean.
I've noticed huge improvements since I started to just sweep the floors daily.
Now, from time to time, when I feel more energetic, I do one extra random thing while I'm sweeping the floors, sometimes is for making the sweeping easier by taking out some of the clutter because I want to reach that particular corner, some other times is dusting a shelf that I've been seeing every day and today seems easy for some reason.
Let's be clear, the house is still a mess, but at least now it feels nice instead of depressing.
Yet another post making me wonder if I have ADHD.
