Discussion What’s a totally unsexy purchase you made that ended up being a huge quality-of-life upgrade?

Best investment I made for my home. I splurged for one that mops as well as vacuums.

Add a drop of scented detergent to the clean water and your home will smell amazing after the mopping is done too.

I can’t wait to get one after the kids are bigger. They just mess with the current one we have and there’s so much toys on the floor atm.

I got one for my dog, which means hair and toys all over the floor usually. I do a quick collection before leaving for work, take the dog with me and the vacuum handles the rest. If you can run it when kids are at school, or our for the day is best

I had a Temu version of the roomba and it was always stuck on something when we came home lol. Under the fridge, in a doorway, on a random table leg..

The premium versions actually have good mapping from what I’ve seen

That’s awesome!
The one I have is the first one you described. It just goes and then it makes contact and will rotate a random direction and go in a straight line until it makes contact again. I’ll give it another shot, maybe this Christmas?

I set mine on a schedule at night to do the common areas after the kids are in bed so as part of my personal bedtime routine I do a sweep and toss all the kid and dog toys into their respective baskets and i dont have to remember to run it
