Do you have a robot vacuum? Did you get it because of a shedding dog or simply so that you didn't have to manually vacuum your home?

[@littlemiss2727]

I have had a robot vacuum for years because I have 5 cats. Mine is a neato and I love it

[@wesfishcare]

I got one to handle cat hair. I LOVE the brand Roborock. I would recommend the Roborock S5, S5 Max, S6 Pure, or S6 for pet hair. Roborocks map your Floorplan to intelligently navigate and allow you to block off areas you don't want it to go. Check out the channel Vacuum Wars for more info.

[@BronteBlu2]

I was looking at all different robot vacuums...couldn't make up my mind because of the costs. So when I saw your review of the Kyvol...I made my choice. OMG...I love this thing! I have 3 stray cats, and 2 dogs...and they all shed. Honestly, as often as I vacuumed before I got the Kyvol, this thing makes me feel like I was a slob. But like you, I dont have anything on my floors except dog toys that go back in the basket at night. I feel like I'm actually breathing better too. I'm shocked how much fur and dust it picks up running a couple times a day. I do have a question you may be able to answer. Is there a RESET option to start all over with house mapping? I have one corner in my dining room and the vacuum will spend so much time repeatedly bumping into the wall and turning in a circle until it finally starts beeping...this is the only place it gets stuck...against a blank wall?!

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

@@BronteBlu2 Hi! Hmmm....mine has not acted that way before. And I don't know the answer. I'm going to send your question directly to my contact at the Kyvol corporate offices and see if they can provide some insight. I'll let you know when I've heard from them. But....I'm so glad to hear you are loving the robot vacuum. Isn't it great! Like you said, it just makes my home feel so much cleaner without pet hair blowing around on the floors 😃. Each day when I empty the bin, I'm shocked at how much hair it picks up!!

[@BronteBlu2]

@@WELCOMETOMYCURLS Thank you so much. Hope they have an answer.....

[@debbielenoir5472]

We have a Shark Robot Vacuum that was purchased for a little over $300. I use the vacuum whenever I am ready for it to run. We have a golden retriever and a long hair dachshund and a cat. I was running it once a week. Now, I run it every morning. I have area rugs all over my house. It is closed off to the litter box. There are no floating hair balls in my house. No piles of dust under my beds. I do not like to run it while we are gone because it can get hung on cords under the bed. My golden retriever would not get up and move one day and it got tangled in her tail! That was traumatic! Saying all that - I love that little vacuum that I call Rosy. My cat likes to slap it around but it just keeps on going. My dachshund hides from it under the bed until it comes under their. She gives me one of those looks when that happens. Speaking of the daily maintenance, I am continually surprised what it picks up every day, especially the dirt!!!!! PS!!!!!! Buy a seam cutter to cut the hair and threads off the brush very easily.

[@1annemwalters]

Oh, man, was your dog okay? And great tip about the seam ripper...

[@debbielenoir5472]

Yes, she was ok. Just traumatized for a little bit. Now, if it’s running, she either leaves the room or lies on her one of her beds.

[@cynthia2233]

I added a Command hook near the only wire that seems to be in the way of my Kyvol. It keeps it up off of the floor.

[@mytao2001]

What do you mean you run the vacuum whenever you’re ready for it to run? Do you vacuum first and then run the shark?

[@FlowingArtwithAmy]

Hate my shark vacuum, doesn't pickup dog hair on carpet, leaves hair balls everywhere

[@questionsalways7107]

I bought a Roomba several years ago, because of a cat litter tracking problem. I asked several people who had one if they thought it would work for me. Sad to say, the mess I had to clean up was terrible, litter was flying everywhere! It was returned, pronto! I'm appreciative that you put in the effort and time to do this for us. I'm considering the Kyvol model and it's being sold for $199.99 at several stores. Thanks, Renee, I really enjoy all your videos!

[@beverlyjean2237]

@ Susan Bohl I wonder if every brand of these kind of vacuums, cat 🐈 litter would fly? I have a throw rug under the litter box, larger than the litter box. I think a robot vacuum, any brand, might scatter cat litter, on a floor without carpet 🤔

[@frankiewillis1772]

I have 4 small dogs that shed. You would think they would go bald with all that hair they shed. I don"t have a robot never thought of getting one. I do have a chargeable dyson which I love. You are so right about cleaning your floors every day. sometimes I do my kitchen 2 or 3 times a day. If I see some I missed down comes the vacuum. Quick clean up for me. Now my daughter has a robot what kind I don't know. Never even thought to ask her if she likes it but I will now. Thanks a bunch for taking the time to educate us. much appreciated.

You had me at “dog hair”. We’ve got 3 dogs...small, medium and large. I just ordered the Kyvol Cybovac E30. It had a $30 off coupon on Amazon! Let the vacuuming begin.

Oh yay!!!!! I didn't know they had a coupon out!!! That's fantastic!!!!

[@KUROBLK350]

I love your honesty!! You're right the cheap ones are no good, my son spend around 600 dollars for a good one. I'm so happy you made this video now everyone knows you don't have to spend an arm and a leg to get a quality product. Thanks for sharing!!!!💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝💝

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Jamina! I was really shocked at how great the Kyvol is and at such a great price too!

[@CupCaked]

I always wondered about those things! You gave us a complete overview, better than a users’ manual.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

So glad I could help!!! There are so many more great things about robot vacuums....but I didn't want to make a longer video. Mine is actually running right now!!! It's on a daily timer so it's doing it's thing! Of course, Maxxie is watching it from the comfort of his couch....and Pollux is currently supervising it under our dining room table 😅

[@CupCaked]

WELCOME TO MY CURLS - I no longer have my sweet dog, Sophie (a Corgi), just three cats (two strays and one shelter cat) and I’m able to keep up with the fur. Sophie was a different story 😀

[@debbiecooper1250]

Thanks, Renee! Another great video. Question: When vacuuming on the step up portion of the house does it know not to topple over that step?

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Debbie! Yes....the robot has sensors on the front so it knows not to fall off of the step. If I run it upstairs in the girls bedrooms, it won't fall down the stairs. It's pretty interesting to watch. When it senses a drop, it feels and looks around....then knows not to proceed. Very smart!

[@floxendoodle942]

Thanks, Renee, for this video! Definitely need one for the crazy amount of crumb dropping going on in the kitchen! 😱 On the verge of making my family eat in the bathtub! 😂😂

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

LOL I get ya!!!! Our other two Schnauzers were great "crumb getters". They would scour the kitchen after every meal. Maxxie doesn't give a hoot about it!

[@jodiwatt743]

Hi Renee! Appreciate the time and effort you put in to share information on the vacuum. I have a King Charles Cavalier and this breed has beautiful flowing hair, however they shed so much that having a Kyvol vacuum would be a blessing. Sending snuggles to Pollux and Maxxie!! Hugs, Jodi

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Jodi!!! I think you would really enjoy a robot vacuum. It has made my life so much easier....not because I don't have to vacuum myself....but because it has completely eliminated seeing Pollux's hair everywhere. It has taken away my stress about his dog hair. Yes, if I see some on the floor, I know it will be cleaned up later today (my vacuum runs on a daily schedule at 1:30pm) and I love it!!!

[@kathycerrito8168]

This is one of the many reasons I look forward to your videos. Your recommendations. I have ordered bras, clothes, shampoo, moisturizer, recommended dog food and treats to family with pets and other items, from your videos. Thank You. I have wood/ceramic floors and this will be perfect.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Kathy!!! Thank you so much for the kind words 💗 I worked on this video for a very long time and have actually had the Kyvol running in my home everyday now for almost 5 weeks. It does a great job on all my flooring types including wood, ceramic tile, carpet and rugs. And it's such an appealing price point too!! Highly recommend 😊

[@Nighthawk799]

Don't! Its a waste of money!

[@debsylvania]

I have had a robot vaccuum for quite awhile. It was a gift from my son and initially I thought it was a great idea. I also have 2 boston terriers and a cat, all of whom shed mightily. I ultimately found the robot vacuum to be inconvenient and impractical. Why? Because of the obstacles it is constantly unable to avoid. Furniture legs and under-the-sofa vaccuming in particular. In addition, it did a terrible job of getting pet hair collected from anything forming a "corner" shape. Out of frustration I purchased a Shark Apex corded (yes, corded) vacuum. I don't have to pull hair out of the brushes any more as it is designed to not let hair tangle around the brushes in the first place. It is incredibly powerful and maneuverable and man, does it pick up the hair. It came with an attachment specifically to remove pet hair from furniture. The attachment has a self cleaning roller as well. So, no. I would not go with the robot vacuum ever again. Not unless I suddenly decided to become a monk with almost no furniture... and no pets that shed.

[@sherryc2443]

That was an excellent review! I've never considered getting one until now and I can't believe I'm saying this. Thank you 😊

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

I was in your same shoes! Never even considered one until Pollux started shedding. Now that I'm used to having one in the house, I have come to rely on it greatly. For example, it ran last night while I was working at the ice cream shop so when I came home.....there were lines in the carpet. LOVE IT!!!!

[@jenniferlee7167]

Thank you Renee, if I ever purchase one of these then I will choose the model you recommended. I really appreciate all your hard work. I was not about to buy one as your previous reviews have been spot on. I can see and hear the conviction in your voice as well as all the details that I would need to know and I really appreciate it. Watching Pollux and Maxxie was also too cute for words.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Pollux enjoys the vacuums....Maxxie just gets up high somewhere and watches it 😂 Every day, I am amazed at how much dog hair it picks up!!! I don't see that much hair on my floors, but then when I open the vacuum, it's shocking. Yuck!

[@mimistout7993]

So I take it that scheduling the robot vacuum to clean at night when everyone is in bed is probably a bad idea. I never would of thought about how loud it can be. Thank you for this video.....I appreciate all the information. Stay healthy and stay safe!

Pollux laying on his toys in his dog bed was hilarious! I bought an irobot at costco but haven't used it yet - I'll have to see if it does mapping - because I agree seeing vacuum lines in the carpet is so satisfying!

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

mapping is a MUST-HAVE feature! You will not be happy without mapping

[@cynthia2233]

Thank you for the review of the Kyvol! my husband has always kind of wanted one! (I didn't want a cheap one and didn't want to pay $^00 for one) We haven't had dogs for 3yrs. now, but wish I would have had it then. Like Maxxie, ours didn't shed, but they certainly tracked in a lot of stuff! I ordered from Amazon on Thursday and got it yesterday (Sat). I ran it this morning and it picked up quite a bit! It ran for exactly 1 1/2hrs. before it went home to re-charge. Our house it large and I think it got most, but not all, of our downstairs. (I didn't let it go into our (master) bathroom, we have a no threshold shower that I didn't want it to go into and didn't want to put the magnetic tape down.) Again! Love your channel and your reviews and I love that you've given Pollux such a wonderful life!

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Cynthia!!! The Kyvol will become more efficient as it gets to know your house. It will be able to cover more ground in less time before it needs to recharge. Right now, it's dedicating a lot of battery to learning its surroundings. My Kyvol does the entire main floor of my house on one batter charge now...which takes around 2ish hours. Enjoy!

Thank you for such an honest review, I just placed my order for the Kyvol on Amazon! Can't wait to receive it and such a great price!

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Lynn......the first vacuum I mentioned that I purchased and returned did NOT have mapping. I didn't understand why that feature was so important. And at the time Randy bought the iRobot, it was the only one available with mapping but it was $600. Kyvol has made mapping available at a fair price of $249. I think you'll be very happy with it! But give it time to figure out your house. It honestly needs about 10 days to get settled in. I moved mine from the front room, and it is having to relearn some things. Give thought to where you want it's home base to be before you put the Kyvol in place. Have fun!!

[@Dwynfal]

I tried a top of the line model a few years ago, really, really wanted to love it but ended selling it after 6 months. Whilst it did a good enough job, I found that I had to move furniture and things around every time I ran it (too many chair legs under the table, dog beds on the floor, etc). Also it couldn't fit under some low furniture so fur would accumulate there and then come back out when there would be a gust of wind (when opening an outside door for example) . Even when run daily, the reservoir was not big enough to capture all the fur during prime shedding seasons (I have two giant dogs) and I would have to empty it halfway through. Although I hate vaccuming, it was less of a hassle to get the cordless out every day for 10 minutes. Didn't work for my home but gosh I wish it did! And you're right, intelligent mapping is an absolute must otherwise you are just throwing your money away!

[@mytao2001]

They have vacuums now that self empty. When they get full they go back to their base, empty themselves and then return to vacuuming

[@Dwynfal]

@@mytao2001 that's true, and I hear they work well. However for me reservoir size was a minor inconvenience. I could live with emptying it daily but not with all the rest. Plus one of my dogs thought it was a great toy so I had to be home when it ran otherwise it was likely to get "played with" by a 70kg/165lbs "puppy" with big clobberpaws... 🙄

I’m thinking I don’t want a self emptying one, I’ll be spending too much money on bags plus they take up too much room. I have 1 question. Where is it made? Thank you.

[@Terminator_888]

So do they roam around your house “cleaning” or do they stay in one area until you move them. For example if I want the bedroom clean and then the living room.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi! The one in my living room is confined to that room in itself. The other one cleans the entire first floor of my house. You set up rooms/zones and give them priority order for cleaning.

[@retiredpd]

I have the same problem with my German Shepherd when I got him, robot vac with clog within 10 minutes. So I was smart and pulled out my mini Shop-Vac to pre vacuum the large piles. The shop vacs inner foam filter clogged within 10 minutes as well but also picked up 10 times the amount of hair. Then I remembered when I was a youngster we always had paper bags for our vacuums. Found some online and now with the paper bag and my mini shop vac I go three to four months before having to change it 😊😊👍👍

[@kerryharding5587]

Excellent review Renee- l was curious about robot vacs. I’m glad you found a solution for the hair problem. One question- do you find you still use a traditional vac as well?

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Kerry!! I did get out my traditional vacuum last night in fact. I still have to vacuum my couch cushions on occasion, and I vacuum my stairs (when I notice they are dirty). Otherwise, the robot vacuum has 3 carpet levels of suction...and I have mine set on the strongest level. So, I don't feel I have to every vacuum my hard floors or carpet. The Kyvol does a really great job of keeping those clean itself. And since I can see the evidence each day when I clean the bin.....I go with it!

[@kerryharding5587]

Thanks for the reply Renee- it’s always a win when we find something that lessens the household cleaning. A robot vac might be a good group family gift suggestion to keep for Christmas. As a pet owner l can relate to the hair that accumulates- l call them tumbleweeds 😊

I've always wanted a German shepherd but I couldn't deal with all that hair so maybe this could come in handy for that! 👍

🎶Furballs blowin’ in the wind! (Kansas group).Lol Love my pets but wow the fur! Thank you for this info! Plus Pollux in the old days would’ve been afraid! Such good boy😊 Maxxie too! Ps-My shirt laundered perfectly❣️

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

LOL so funny!!!! But it was true.....his fur would blow down the hallway and kinda freak me out! 😂 Pollux has really taken to the vacuum and it's hilarious to watch him. So glad you are loving your tee!! And.....you will really enjoy my next video coming out on Tuesday ❤️

[@nightshadowparanormalgroup8991]

Hey Renee, I just wanted you to know that I watched this a while back. I had always thought robot vacs were probably a waste of money, but I was sold by your presentation and I bought the same model Kyvol E30, even though a newer version was available and I love it! I actually got it at Walmart and it was less than $150. Same issues as yours but overall a great job. Thanks for all your great content and product info.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Fantastic! My Kyvol vacuums my living room every single night while I'm sleeping....love it!

[@rosielopez3375]

Excellent info-thanks👍🏼

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Glad it was helpful!

[@kenjose5068]

Wow Renee !! What a great video you've made. So much useful information on this subject. Was thinking of giving my two sons (and their families) some financial help which they could do with over this period of struggling with isolation and unemployment. Maybe they would also love to have a robotic vaccuum which could be working wonders whilst they are home schooling their children etc. Thanks again, cheers Roz (not Ken).

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Roz!!! This would be a wonderful gift for a family with children. It would free up the parents :). I'm sure they would love it!!! And....Amazon has an additional $30 coupon off making the vacuum $219! Yay!

I’m buying it!! I hate vacuuming!! Thanks for the video. So far I’m buying this and the purple shampoo.

Excellent Review. New subscriber love your channel.

[@thereallulustar2044]

Thanks so much for sharing. I have been in the market for a robot vacuum to help with my Lulu. I just ordered the Kyvol on Amazon and there is a $30 coupon available! It will arrive tomorrow. 👍🏾 Can’t wait. 🙂 UPDATE: Ordered on Friday, arrived Saturday, working like a charm Sunday. So far loving it. Very impressed with how it handles corners and rugs. Thank you so much for the recommendation. 🙂

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Wonderful! I had no idea there was a coupon!!! That's awesome!!

[@AidaJof]

OMG - as a child, I had cat named Lulu. Enjoy your Kyvol and let us know how it goes

[@debbymiller8828]

Very informative!!

[@shawng7902]

Wanting to get one of these for my parents. They have a lab and a cat. They have hard floors other than 2 bedrooms. I would think that would make it easier on any vac as long as the mapping works. Would you say this is my best bang for the buck on hard floors?

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

The Kyvol works great on both hard floors and carpet. I run it daily in my home. It has a longer battery life and larger collection bin compared to the iRobot...but it doesn't give you the ability to mark off areas or rooms you want it to avoid (unless you use the magnetic strip). Weight your preferences....but I do think you get a vacuum for a very reasonable price in the Kyvol.

[@lisarussell6099]

I enjoyed your video it's been very helpful thank you

[@trevorfillmore698]

Now that you have had it for a year does it still stand up to your expectations. We have a Burmese mountain dog and he sheds like crazy how would it be with long dog hair.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

It doesnt have a docking station though? I have a border collie and she sheds absolutely crazy and i need a vacuum that holds volume

I watched it for the vacuum and loved it for the baby puppy. That's how all dogs should be treated.

[@jhamp244]

I am handicapped and I have a very expensive robo vacuum, that maps my house which is great. I can also set no go areas right on the app and it also empties itself when it goes home which is the reason I have the expensive one because I had a cheaper model that did everything this one does except empty itself and it was just too hard for me to empty it. It does need occasional cleaning of the brushes but I can get someone to do that for me once or twice a month so that is ok. I love my robo vac. I got it for Christmas. Mine would also mop, but there again, you have to change a few things out and attach the mop thing which I can’t do so I just enjoy the clean vacuumed floors and let the housekeeper mop when she comes.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

You must have the "tower" that goes with the iRobot. I'm sure that is super convenient!!!

[@jhamp244]

WELCOME TO MY CURLS yes, that is what I have. That bin on the vac has to be cleaned every time it is run. The tower has to be emptied every week or so but I can easily do that myself because I just flip the top up and pull the bag out and replace it. The bags used to be very expensive, now they are just expensive. I am hoping the next time I have to buy they will have cont to come down. Still worth it though.

[@pamelamurchie5158]

Some years ago I bought my Mum a robot vacuum. It was not entirely successful because it constantly got caught up in electrical wires from the tv, lamps etc. It was a shame, but from your video, maybe it didn't have mapping. Did you have a problem with electrical cords? Thank you from Queensland Australia.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi Pamela! No....I haven't had any issue with electrical cords. My cords are all tucked behind furniture where the vacuum can't go. If your mom had cords in the floor or laying out exposed, it could a problem.

[@doina8340]

The vacuums with a bristle brush (like yours) tend to get hairs and strings caught in them which requires some maintenance. The rubber rollers work best. Hair is less likely to get caught in them. At least that's what I've learned from doing some research. Still searching for the perfect robotic vac for me. :-)

[@paularose331]

One thing I notice is mine scuffs the baseboards has anyone else noticed this? I also can't let it run unless I am there it constantly gets stuck under furniture and many times doesn't dock itself properly. If I had to get another I would not. I have a Room a by the way

[@aajefferson1545]

Information is great to know

[@anitahargreaves9526]

I've got one for my budgie. Love it for the bird seed. Got a cheaper brand for under £100 but I do one room at a time. Not connected to my phone. I also have no wires on floor to get tangled up. Can't use on long haired rugs.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hmmm....sounds like you it might be time for an upgrade 😊

[@Jan-qq9xc]

How do you keep wires off the floor?

[@karenhatch1274]

I bought one because I have so many cats. I love it but it doesn't do the mapping. Now I am interested in the Kyvol. Thanks for the great video!

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Mapping is critical to a good vacuum 😊

[@kristenbuckland2041]

wow that looks awesome

[@ollerpops]

That's really great that you have dogs that don't bark at your Robo-Vac. Most dogs, I hear, freak out around them, mine do. Lol

LOL gosh.....I wouldn't be able to tolerate that!

[@jimmynickels6248]

I see this critter is no longer on Amazon. Did it change its name?

[@anabelfernandez6627]

Can Kyvol map 2 floors (first and second floor)?

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Yes!!! I’ve taken mine upstairs to also run. But since that level of my house is now empty (my daughters are away at school) I just have it running in my main floor.

[@anabelfernandez6627]

Great. Just ordered my Kyvol!

Oh yay!!!!!! 😁😁

[@lukiejames]

I couldn't stop admiring the beautiful grey hair! 🤣

[@annie19571975]

Okay, I ordered the Kyval on your recommendation because I'm constantly sweeping/vacuuming dog hair. However, the included user guide and user manual look overwhelming to me.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

Hi! Honestly, you don't even need the guide. Simply plug it in to charge, make sure to attach the brushes on the underside. It will take about 6 hours to fully charge. Download the app to your phone during this time. When the lights on top of the vacuum are fully blue.....you're ready to go. The app is easy to understand so you'll figure it out pretty fast. If you have a question, let me know. And remember that the vacuum needs about a week to figure things out. It gets better the longer it runs :). Enjoy!

[@annie19571975]

😂😂 Pollux got on the bed, "he's supervising" 😂😂😂 Renee, you are so funny with your comments. 😂😂 But, on a serious note, I never considered getting a robot vacuum because of the price but you've brought up some important points that I like. Thanks Renee, I sooo appreciate your reviews and your videos are so fun. I look forward to your videos so, the length of this one wasn't even a problem.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

You are so welcome! Now that there is a very good robot vacuum option available at an acceptable price point, you should consider it. Previously, I would have never recommended paying $600 for one.

[@Stas95]

Hi Renee... I have the i7 iRobot vacuum like you and it works great with pet hair. Since I have 2 dogs and 2 cats it does get it all of the pet hair. Since I have multiple pets I run it everyday. Just a FYI for those are in the market for one there are 2 i7 models. The i7 model without the tower is much better than the one with the charging tower. The price difference is w/o the tower $600 and with the tower $900.

[@WELCOMETOMYCURLS]

oooo interesting to know. Before I received the Kyvol, we looked into the tower for the iRobot...but NO WAY was I going to pay an additional $300 for it. Nope! I didn't realize the vacuum operated differently either. Thanks for the info!
