I’m better at cleaning now, too.
I recentlyreviewed the Deebot X2 Omni, which was my first experience with a robot vacuum/mop.
However, my expectations were mostly about the robot itself.
Where I would put it, which areas of my house it would struggle with, etc.
I wasn’t thinking much about how I would adjust to my new robot roommate.
Before my robot has moved an inch, I’m already giving it a helping hand.
That’s what I immediately noticed about having a robot vacuum in my home.
The rig that is designed to do cleaningfor meis tricking me into keeping my house cleaner.
This is probably obvious, but a robot vacuum can really only do so much.
Every little thing on your floor is an obstacle the robot has to navigate around.
So, if you want your entire floor to be cleaned, someone has to double-check it’s cleared.

That person is, of course, me.

Scheduling the robot to clean has scheduled my own cleaning as well.
I’ve heard similar stories from people when they hire a cleaning service for their home.
Rather than let the service do it all, people will tidy up a bit before they come over.

The truth is I’m not mad about needing to help the robot vacuum.
I’m doing my part, and if you get one, you will too.
