Thanks! I just ordered one. Sounds like just what I need.

So, did you get it yet? Do you like it?

I was just wondering the same thing. We liked ours so much we ordered a second one for downstairs.

I missed this thread when it was first posted.

I had the same as you Anna,We put all new laminate down,I love it so easy to clean.And i find with any carpet and pets you always get the odor,With Molly i love her dearly but she stinks,With the slober sticking to her fur lol.

I love the laminate it is so easy to clean,I just worry about Molly,She is not getting any younger i worry about her hips,She or any of my guys cannot get traction on the floor,So i just went out and got little carpets to put around.


We had our basement redone in a nice carpet,I forgot how much of a pain it was having carpet,The dogs run down to the basement with muddy feet,If there ever sick they cannot do it upstairs they go right down to the carpet.So as we speak we are having a nice cherry laminate floor installed in the basement.

Yes, I got my Dirt Dawg.

It does a very good job and I can even leave the house. I have a den that is two steps lower than the rest of the house so it's easy to let it it do its thing there. I DO have to move my dining area chairs out of the room and pick up cat toys first. "Bumper" tends to get caught under the legs of the chairs.

When I use him in the living room, I put 2X4's across the doorways to contain him. He manages to navigate over the area rug and bare floors without a problem. When he gets stuck under a rocker, he beeps at me and I re-start him.

I tried to let him do the whole house at once but he wore out before he could get it all. He spends a lot of time going over the same area again and again, just bumping his way from wall to wall and object to object. So now I let him do one room at a time.

It doesn't take too long to recharge him. I keep him plugged in so he's always ready.

Worth the $130 I paid.

Good to know that your own "R2D2" is working for you.
Yeah, I always put the dining room chairs up on the table and put the ottomans up to so it can clean underneath things.

It's not exactly whisper quiet, but the cats aren't scared of it like the regular vacuum. I just love turning it on and walking out the door, knowing that the floor will be clean when I get home -- unless it gets stuck somewhere.........

We let it run around until the batteries are completely dead then recharge overnight. If I want the main part of the house clean, I just close off the doors to the bedrooms, bathroom, etc.

I'm glad to hear you like it.

Question, do the dogs have a problem with it? I'm just afraid they would end up barking the whole time if I left it alone with them...lol!

My dogs don't mind at all. In fact, it ran into Scruffy once while he was sleeping. He just walked away.

The cats look at it funny and leave the room. They don't seem afraid of it and they don't want to play with it either.
