‘Wreck it Ralph’ Robot…

I cannot say how much Ralph (my iRobot) has helped me!
I unboxed Ralph and was eager to set him up. He came with instructions which was easy to follow, install an app filling a qr code and sync him up. Ralph then went on to learn my floor plan and after, I could review the areas and give them labels and now I can tell Ralph to clean the lounge only. He is super clever and is able to put his mop away to hoover the rug in the kitchen and hall.
Over time Ralph self learnt a zone in the kitchen and suggested it to me (you can also create zones yourself but I hadn’t done at that point). He learns as he goes and after every clean, if he spots something he doesn’t know during the run, he will ask you to review it and learn from it.
Overall the quality of Ralph’s cleaning is quite good. He does miss a few things every now and then and he’s not so good at mopping over a threshold where the kitchen and hall meet (he’s a bit of a racer and flys over the bump) but otherwise he’s pretty good.
This is going to sound gross but I never knew how much cat fur was stuck in my dining room carpet (that sounds gross but it’s true). It wasn’t until Ralph started his first clean, docked and emptied himself that I saw the massive fur ball couldn’t get sucked up into the bag.
The self clean function on Ralph is great, it is quite a bit noisy and my 3 year old has to run away before he starts sucking it into the bag but it only lasts a few moments.
I’ve had to do some maintenance on Ralph already as his brushes didn’t spin well. They were only completing a turn before stopping so I unscrewed his brushes and putting them back on and now he seems to be working ok.
We’re such a busy family and Ralph has literally saved me! For my sanity I used him as an excuse so my children tidy up their toys before he comes to clean. He has also helped me be more tidier myself as I have set up a daily routine for him and I aim to tidy by that time.
It’s such a shame he isn’t able to do stairs but Ralph is definitely appreciated!!
