I'm toying with the idea of getting a robotic vacuum cleaner, and am looking for any advice. I would like it to just keep on top of the dust/pet hair/general guff and I would probably still do a proper vacuum myself once a week.

Does anyone have one they would recommend, or avoid?

We've got a Roomba.

Only thing it doesn't like is black carpets (I tried to do the carpet from the car boot!)

We've replaced the battery, and brushes over the years.

I see Lidl have a robotic cleaner advertised.

Thanks for your answer Tuvok. It was the ad in Lidl that inspired me to investigate further! Online reviews for that particular model aren't great, but for £70 I might give it a go anyway. :-)
Which? tested them recently...the only one they recommended was a Dyson (at £800!!)...there were a few so bad, they were "Don't Buys"...even at £300-£400. So, how a £70 one performs is a "suck it and see" ...see what I did there?
Hi, 2sp......is it because you want it done with the robot or you don't want to lug out the big vacuum frequently.....

I use the Miele once a week or so and have a quick nip over the black floor and my sewing room once a day with the Dustbuster Flexi.... it's quick, light and does a good job...but it's not a robot of course...x

gness, I really should be vacuuming every day - hairy dog, grubby kids, filthy husband, but I really just don't have the time. I figure/hope if I have a robotic vacuum doing a tour of the house daily then I could get the Dyson out once a week and do it properly.

And I'm extremely lazy ;-)
