I'm not going to lie. I thought these vacuums were a waste of money and people were just being lazy! I was completely WRONG! I love to vacuum but with 2 kids, 1 dog, 2 cats and my husband, I was vacuuming and sweeping at least twice a day. Now that I have the @Shark Ion Robot vacuum, I dont need to at all. Lol,  I still vacuum at night. It helps me to  relax.  Sweeping on the other hand not so much. I'll sweep right before I mop just to make sure I got everything but other then that, I'll leave it up to my new best friend. It's easy to set up. I can control it from my phone, allow it to run constantly or set up a time. Its able to go to hardwood to carpet. I will be getting my grandmother one for Christmas.
