18 WT 057: Robo Pug (Roborock E5 vacuum) All right. I think, uh, I think it's working. Yeah. Look at that. The robot is about to start. Yes. Yeah. We gotta, we are reviewing The roborock E five, robotic vacuum cleaner. And right now it is starting its process here from its home dock. Yeah. We hit the start button. Yep. This was our choice. Uh, we looked at a lot of 'em.

[00:00:29] This brand is what we decided to go with. And from there on, there was, I don't know, half a dozen or more choices. Okay. Um, this seemed to be the best with what we chose for our budget. And how smart we wanted it to be. Now we bought this during, uh, prime week, which was back in July, July, there's another prime week supposed to be happening in October.

[00:00:52] Nice prime two. So we got, what did, what did we actually pay for this version on version with on prime week with a three year warranty? We paid one 20. Okay. So this is what you get for one 20. We have a video. Um, and it just shows it doing its thing. Yeah. This is our product review right now. It's it's, uh, we, we push the start button and, and it was doing part of one of the bedrooms.

[00:01:20] Um, right now we're, we're, we're watching it. It's in the living room. We got, we got, uh, one of our pugs just totally ignoring it. Just Cailin, lying by her Teddy bear, watching it, do it's, thing, waiting for it to come run her over. She just kind of giving it, giving a lip service and it came all over towards her.

[00:01:39] So she decided I better get up out of the way so he could do his job. They're not, they at the beginning, they were kind of undecided. You'll see, in this video, what I mean by undecided? Yeah. Um, the one thing I do like a lot, well, they barked at it the first day that we opened it and, and it started doing its pattern because it's gotta learn what it's gonna do.

[00:01:59] Yep. It has to learn the household pattern and. The less obstacles you have in a house, the easier it is for this one to learn or any robotic vacuum. We have a complicated house though. because of furniture, pug toys. And for whoever designed this house back in the seventies decided they liked walls. Yeah.

[00:02:24] A lot of rooms. Well, we got it's a, we live in a three bedroom, two bath home townhome. yes So therefore it's with a closed off kitchens, it's a single level. So therefore it's, it's, you know, the floor patterns on the first floor everything's on the first floor, that's it? There's no upstairs. Yeah. Which is, it's a closed off kitchen.

[00:02:45] It's and it's got a nice entryway, but it's about 1500 square foot. We really like it. Um, but anyway, what I really like about this. It does a good job. Um, and it's really good about doing straight lines. I have a thing about vacuuming in straight lines. First time we ran it, I saw that it was putting the vacuum lines in the carpet and I had to grab Janet and say, look, look, oh my God, look, look, do you see it?

[00:03:12] Do you see it? She's like, what? See what I said, it's putting vacuum lines on the rug. I knew right then I'd like it, I don't don't care how stupid it is. I like that. But. That's my robo pug and it has cut back drastically with two pugs. Pugs do shed. One is a, uh, double coat. One's a triple coat, um, pugs shed a lot, and it's cut back drastically on the amount of hair in the house.

[00:03:38] Oh, yes, it has. I I've even noticed it's at first. I didn't think we were ever gonna be able to keep it. We'll say butt clean. well, we can explain that, but now that we've had it for a while, it's it doesn't pick up nearly as much hair because we run it at least...
