Website design By BotEap.comLife with a robot hope y’all do the best it can be been thinking about this for years and yes an online provider made it extremely easy with small fees I decided to take the plunge I won’t share the brand or provider but want to share the experience and am posting the link to the video that tipped the scales here guy is good.

Website design By BotEap.comGrowing up in the 70’s/80’s, whenever I saw a cleaning robot I always thought of the movie with KISS lead singer – Gene/Magnum – Tom (1984), and I usually passed by. But I had this purchase on my wish list forever. So far my robot hasn’t tried to kill me but I keep an eye on her, yes you have to choose a name when you install the app so I chose something cute Robot 1 it still scares me a lot and yes you can choose a male name for yours.

It took me about 3/4 hours, they recharged and cleaned the bin in between. Once the house map was complete (using a phone app) I was able to divide the house into sections, I tried the scheduler but the app wanted to leave a 3 hour gap between cleaning so I left it and instead saved “Jobs” and a button appears for “Living room”, “Kitchen” etc.
