Robot vacuum cleaners...
...suck, for me. I had one a couple of times and they just blow. Unless you have a perfectly square room with no random unexpected items laying about (or misaligned chair), or placed in a way not suitable, it will just constantly get in the way and get stuck. You likely have to dish out BIG time for one that's even half decent.
Besides, I actually like cleaning somewhat (don't tell my wife). I like the three-pronged approach of floor cleaning: dustpan and brush for the big stuff, vacuum to get rid of cat fur etc, mop with my hi-tec bucket to finish off.
I also prefer to hand-wash dishes instead of using the dishwasher. They just take too long and yes, they sterilize real well but I always find bits left between forks and stuff, and they aren't conducive to odd-shaped things, so I have to handwash half the time regardless. Waste of time.
Gadgets blowing up is scary. That's why I'm always a bit sceptical of buying electronic goods MIC. I think practically all these are MIC, something that we struggled with quite a bit before the purchase, plus we knew it had to be connected to an app on our phone. In the end we gave in and decided on one that we thought had a better reputation.
On the unexpected items, yeah, the poor thing got very confused the first time with the dining table and chairs, it went round and round for ages. Now I line the chairs up properly, it works much smoother.
Dishwashers are great for greasy stuff like after doing a roast or when we have people over for dinner, but they're not really designed for asian meals where there are loads of odd size bowls, it's like playing tetris to get everything in! However I find it's much easier to hand wash some items if the dishwasher doesn't get all the bits out.
You must come and train my husband sometime to do more housework!
Haha great point, I never thought of that...
Gladly - I have my grievances with every cleaner that comes, Always moan that if I want it done properly, I gotta do it myself XD I'll sing to him like Mary Poppins.
