After Herr Silber met an untimely end recently, thanks to an extremely unwise attempt at nomming on a stray rubber glove? (Would have done much better to stick to that cat food. 😩)
Our new floor cleaning buddy finally arrived today!
Herr Silber preferred to lurk against the wall under the kitchen table, but the new guy quite specifically wanted to stay out in the open. So, at least for the moment, they've set up camp out in the hallway. Right next to some floor crud, of course.
This one is completely app controlled (via WiFi), and of course was a bit of a PITA to get set up at the start. Still getting used to it, but they had a bit of a test run after a charging nap.
So far it looks like this one should do a better job, if anything, even without trying the damp cleaning function yet. (Which is an extra good thing, considering the price difference!)
Bigger dust cup, and they can keep going much longer between naps. With the optical sensors and way better sense of direction, our new friend has also had a much easier time finding their way back home to sleep it off. Hasn't been needing anywhere near the level of drunksitting and ditect intervention so far, even though they're still getting used to the layout around here. Hopefully they'll remember it pretty well before long.
A relief to get some robo-help with the floors again around here, that's for sure! 😄 Still need to get to know this one better before deciding on a name.
