I've made quite a bit of progress on the board despite plans changing immediately.…
We got a Roomba-like. The Eufy RoboVac 11. The idea has always appealed because I know I should vacuum more but I'm really lazy. In the new house we've got a white kitchen floor which could be a pain to keep clean. So we got the Eufy.…
