May be for the best, not the time to be buying a used vac

What are your thoughts on something like this? Never had one and have tile/hardwoods. It'd be nice to have something working for us in between manual vacuum days. For $150 for 2 seems worth a try??

I've had mine for a while and I'd say it's ok... pretty easy to drop it off in a room, close the doors and let it run. My room is a mix laminate and rug (the low plush ones) and it picks up a decent amount. My one and only issue? This thing loves to ram into things... sometimes it can detect something like a table leg or chair fine but then rams into a door as if it's not there. I only use mine in my bedroom where there's fewer obstacles but not my living room as it'll ram my floor standing speakers without discretion. I added foam guards to mine to help (can find them on Amazon).

So if you have rooms with lots of stuff everywhere, not great. Otherwise, it is a nice convenience. You should still expect to do normal vacuuming/sweeping but definitely a lot less.
