Reggie's a Cracking Little…

This thing is genius!
We've been putting off getting a robot vacuum for years just because we have different types of floor in our house and didnt want to get 2 units.
This combination mop and vacuum is just what we needed and gave us the excuse to take the leap into robot vacuums!
"Reggie" the Robot Vacuum as we're calling him to our 3 year old is not only able to vacuum the whole of the downstairs, but it can mop too with its built in water tank and automated mop attachment.
Yes I said it, automated mop attachment... forget those robot vacuums that you have to think about if you want to mop and clip the mop attachments to it before wanting to put it on wooden floors and taking it off before it goes on carpet.... Reggie knows when the mop should come out and when it should be put away.
The whole thing is very clever - it recognised our dining room table, and automatically set that area as the dining room on the map/floor plan, showing that it was also wooden floor.
It also offers to set a specific cleanup area for around the dining room table. This lets you just ask it to do a post dinner clean up. It's like it knows my kids can be messy eaters!
Being able to give the downstairs a once over automatically when you go to bed is also a great feature making sure there's no bits on the floor that he baby can choke on, and not to mention that we know its clean for him to crawl around when he gets us up at silly o'clock in the morning.
I even tried jumping in front of Reggie to see what he did.. he immediately slowed down, stopped and then went the other way. The obstacle detection is very clever, although he did seem to bash into a couple of units but I think that was just making sure he got the bits in the edges.
Overall this is a cracking machine and I'm interested to try it on the upper floors which I think is quite clever that it doesn't always need a base station.
