    We are thinking of getting a roborock (any recommendations welcome). I don’t expect it to do a deep clean but as it is right now, we have a kid, and ergo, there is sand and crumbs everywhere. We live in a three room apartment. There is so much sand and dirt in the corridor oh my god. I vacuum it two times a day. And then there are crumbles everywhere. I just don’t want to feel like I am walking on literal egg shells most of the time. My back hurts from vacuuming so often and it is loud and unhandy. Will a roborock handle the superficial crumbs, dust, sand? If yes that is enough for me. I need it as an addition to regular cleaning, not as a substitute.

      Yes definitely, my cat loves carrying his litter out of the box and the vacuum sucks it all up, you will just need to be mindful about emptying it regularly. Though the new and expensive ones clean themselves out. Ive never used the mop function on mine, but they’re also better on the models with the fancy base station as it changes water for you.

      I’ve had mine for almost 4 years now and it goes once a day. It also survived a bunch of diatomaceous earth that it ended up needing to suck up.

        I’m not sure what exactly regularly means when it comes to emptying, but if it is once or twice for a run of a 70 square meter apartment that is absolutely fine with me. With cleaning, I don’t mind once a day. Do you think that would be enough? Also, may I ask what model you are using? I’ve read so many professional reviews but somehow a stranger’s opinion on the internet feels more authentic xD
