Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I have used the O'Cedar robotic duster for 2 weeks now and have been very pleased. With 2 large, densely coated dogs, 2 indoor cats, and 3 children our wood floors were never dust and hair free. The O'Cedar duster not only saves time but is also so very easy to use. Our floors are actually clean at least twice a day now! I used to turn it on before leaving the house so I could come home to clean floors, but I don't advise that as it can get stuck and the wheels will keep turning and could potentially remove the finish from hardwood floors. I usually let it run for an hour or two then turn it off, change the pads, and plug it in to charge and use again later. I use swiffer dusting cloths rather than the round O'Cedar cloths that came with the duster, because I had many on hand already, and because they provide more of a buffer when the duster bumps against furniture or walls. I just cut 2 of them in half and stick them to the velcro. The bumping against things isn't a big deal because the duster is going quite slow and spinning so the impact it is very slight. The duster will very occasionally get stuck on the edge of a rug but only if the battery is running low and the edge of a cloth has gotten folded back and exposed the velcro. Normally if I just leave it alone it will work it's way out of any tight spot. The only other time it has a problem is if it encounters water on the floor (ie dog drool!). I do blow the little bit of hair out the wheel area when I change the cloths to enable the wheels to grip the floors well. The area it cleans is our main living area, all hardwoods with several small throw rugs, approximately 500 square feet. The duster easily runs for 2 hours on a charge. I do pull the kitchen chairs away from the table but it easily cleans under and through the chair legs as well as my office chair which has 5 legs extruding from a center post and is quite a tight space. I bought the O'Cedar duster on Amazon for $19 and it has easily saved me that much in time spent cleaning floors. I probably am a bit of a neat freak but as long as my floors are clean I feel much better about my house being clean. It really bothers me to see pet hair on the bottoms of my kids socks, and this duster has greatly improved that little issue. I would love to buy this little tool for my friends who have pets, but am afraid of the message it may send. ☺ It isn't perfect of course, but it definitely helps de-stress my life and I love it! My only regret is that I didn't buy it much much sooner.
