Less than 6 hours after a full sweep/vacuum/mop, we have brown tumbleweeds all over the house. His hair is curly so it not only corkscrews into fabrics, but also tangles with itself to become rolling hairballs.
I had voluminous, curly hair once upon a time. I was always pulling hairballs out of everything. I shave my head every few days now. I don't have those problems anymore. Food for thought.
Shaving a shedding breed dog (like a husky or retriever or shepherd, etc) does not stop the shedding - the hair that sheds is just shorter. Plus you damage the dog's coat - possibly irreparably. It's not like human hair in the slightest.
😂 I'd have to shave my dog daily if that were possible! His fur is so thick that I can only get down to a 1/2" blade. And looks ridiculous at that short of a length.
Do NOT shave double-coat dogs, this is really bad for their hair and skin, and doesn't even stop the shedding. You can cause permanent damage doing this, for nothing.
Chessies have some of the most uniquely frustrating fur to manage that I have ever encountered. My friend had one in elementary school and I just opted to go sockless whenever I visited her house.
I never saw so many hair in one place and my robot is doing his daily round. Just get one (can be any other brand) and zero fur. Mine also has the auto cleaning mode so I can forget about him and do a general cleaning once a week.
Yeah, it will not happend. In best case it will send you a photo of that turd and it will say that it cannot clean that zone. My kids are little and sometimes they leave their toys everywhere (small and big ones). If roomba detects that, will send me a photo and will ignore that zone.
So no, a smart one will not drag shit everywhere on your house.
I'm also not personally interested in having too many smart devices in my house, but I'm glad that problem has been solved because that's a real nasty one
Yeah this is one of those good things to come out of ML/AI stuff. You can actually train a Roomba to detect shit and not smear shit all over the floors. Only really possible when you can actually reliably make the computer recognize poop from a picture.
Had that happen when we woke up and saw brown crop circles up and down the hallway stuck deep into the carpet fibers.....Didn't know to laugh or cry............
Yeah….so I have a robot vacuum I run offline and it smeared a turd around my whole kitchen. I usually run it daily during shedding season, but lesson learned and now I only do it if I’m around to watch.
I love the idea of a roomba but I'm so worried ut'll grab a cord and yank something down or unplug it (especially around mine and my husband's computers)
Yuuup. 3 cats, very active, not even long haired. When they start to shed (all at the same time, of course), give it one day for our white carpet to turn grey with fur (I know, I know, white carpet was the first mistake, but you can't be picky when you need a 9x1m.)
Vacuums just can't keep up. I'd be cutting hair out of the roller brush every day when I vacuum to keep up with it. Fuck that. Let there be hair. I'm not vacuuming every day and I can't afford to renovate.
I briefly had my friends 3 dogs for 2 weeks, vacuuming was a sisyphyean endeavor, ended up buying a robot vacuum that id run while walking them just so I could stay sane
All these people confused about how there’s so much hair and saying it’s probably never been cleaned. This is the amount of hair I brush off my cats weekly

Ok, I gotta ask. (I have 3 dogs).
How long since that carpet was last vacuumed?
