Anyone with a Which? Subscription mind helping me out?

Apintplease

Would someone be as kind to have a look at the Robot Vacuums for me?

Im looking the Best Buy for Vacuuming and mopping hard floors - and highly recommended if thats cheaper

Im working all hours under the sun and a shedding dog and cat aren't helping me. So something to keep the kitchen and hallways looking halfway decent would help me out no end but I dont have a fortune to spend

Many thanks  xx

We have the Roborock S4 max the next generation is the S5 or even s6 which are available now.

The hoover is brilliant and keeps on top of it all, 2 children, dog and 3 cats.

However I am not a huge fan of the mopping as it just wets and smears, so unless you wash the pad daily you are just spreading the dirt around.

If working all hours gives you any time to visit your local library, you may find they offer access while on library premises.  You could check before visiting.

ETA:  I've just checked my LA Library pages and it says
"Which? is available only from inside our libraries
"Please ask a member of our library staff for details."

I’m looking for a robot vacuum, but I don’t want to spend £1700 for the latest iRobot even though it is a “Best Buy” when the dyson heurist has the same score and is also a Best Buy for £800

I think Which are missing a trick not letting you buy individual reports for a small charge.

Working all hours means 7am starts, finish between 3 and 8pm - 6 days per week We are coming up to silly season, you guys party, we work to allow you to do so

Hence the idea of needing a robot vacuum . My downstairs ( my living room is upstairs with the bedrooms ) is just getting too much for me at the moment . Its corridors  ( hallways ) and the bathroom kitchen and dining room, all rooms Im not sat looking at, but rooms where we have dust balls roaming until I get a couple of days off to blitz them, rinse and repeat.

Library is an absolute no no - 16 mile round trip to start

Like me, you're pushed for time. What I will say is don't discount the library, mine offers digital access to thousands of magazine resources.

Also my best investment is not a hoover but a silicone / rubber broom, for £7 I'm amazed at how well it works on dust and human hair. Now I am not one to do housework for the sake of it but I get a bizarre sense of satisfaction spending a couple of minutes sweeping the hard floors with a silicone broom. (They work on carpet too, it just not as satisfying a process).

Unfortunately, NI is about 30 years behind the rest of the world, which is why I love living here, but get so cross that we are so far behind with technology 

Ive been putting a lot more thought into things, and I think a cleaner for 2 hours , twice a month is manageable 

What you have to understand, is Im living in a 3 bedroom bungalow - with another floor on top - another 3 bedrooms, bathroom. and huge lounge, and none of my rooms are small - my own bedroom is 4m X 7 m - and I have 3 of those sizes 

Burning coal and logs, a dog, a cat , you can only imagine the dust

I can easily keep the kitchen, my bedroom, bathroom, lounge, the stairs done. BUT its the things like the skirtings, the woodwork etc are being missed and I need to get on top of it now. Mum is doing less and less, you can write your name in the dust in her rooms, shes no longer capable of doing the hallways and she would never think about ceilings etc

Im tired, Im very tired, I see my house getting scruffy and its depressing me that I cant keep on top of it and getting depressed and therefore ratty with everyone just isn't good

Which? list only two of the vacs they have tested as best buys, each scoring 80%:

Dyson 360 Heurist at £800

Irobot Roomba s9+ at £1,500

The Irobot Roomba 980 scored 70% so didn't quite make it as a best buy but may suit you if you are on a budget as it costs £379.  It's more likely than the above to bump into objects though.
