Friends, hello. I will share my experience, maybe it will be useful to someone. We are talking about the most primitive and insanely cheap robot vacuum cleaner. About a month ago I bought myself a very simple Kitfort, it cost something less than 5 thousand. It is designed, roughly speaking, like a child's toy - it walks, bumps into obstacles, goes back. And that's all, nothing else. His cleaning, of course, is from the "better than nothing" series. But this is just my option! Sometimes it happens to me that there is simply no time to vacuum or sweep. I can't afford a decent self-propelled unit for the money. And this one - I run it every day into the corridor and the kitchen, it cleans up decently, all that remains is to wash the floor. He does not take a long-piled carpet, but crawls along a short one normally. It has a lot of shortcomings - it can slip unexpectedly on the baseboard. He walks along some of his intricate trajectory, can clean one corner several times, and in another, if you do not direct it, it will not go. Doesn't climb on carpets. That is, you will not leave him completely unattended. And charging is enough for half an hour or 40 minutes. And it charges for 8 hours. In principle, he has enough charge to process the corridor, kitchen and one room. The worst thing is if I only clean in the kitchen and hallway, and then the next day there is an incomplete charge. He then brakes at the most unexpected moment, in the middle of the carpet, like today. All the same, I rejoice at him madly, and love him dearly. Still, for such ridiculous money, he helps me out pretty well.
In general, if someone needs an insanely cheap assistant in addition to a normal handheld vacuum cleaner, then - they exist!
