Many people consider a robot vaccuum as novelty, but they are being used more and more in business officers, small rooms, and open plan offices. However, you need human-run vaccum for tough floor cleaning work.

You can say robot vaccum cleaners can be used for daily maintenance cleaning, and then use human-run vaccum cleaners for once a week / month thorough cleaning.

Warning: If you have something squishy on the floor (dog poo, for example), a robot cleaner will spread that around.

So, the rule is: Tidy up ahead of your robot vaccum cleaner's cleaning session.
