okay so automated vacuums....

where do we stand?
1. Hardwood, but needs to get up onto two totally normal rugs with tassels / fringe
2. Needs to deal with a lot of dirt, but not much else. I'll do the moping.
3. Fairly open floor plan but has bar stools and some navigation to cope with. No unusual road blocks.
4. We have young children. I would prefer if it didn't attempt to suck up and get caught on the random kids' treasures...
here's a photo of the kitchen / sitting area. This is totally representative of the whole floor, but double the size.

I have one of the older Roombas. The actual vacuuming is good but often find it easier to quickly whip round with a cordless Dyson than make sure the floor is fully clear for the robot hoover.

Tassels may get caught, mine always seems to end up sucking up some wire and children's toys that I hadn't noticed.

If your floor is clear then they're a great piece of kit.

Isn't this what people do when they employ a cleaner?

You've become a slave to the robot.
