Robot Vacuums and Pets

The use of robotic vacuums in households with pets has resulted in mixed reviews. The vacuum has received praise when cleaning up pet hair, but garnered mediocre results in dealing with the pets themselves. While some animals are unfazed by any type of vacuum, for other pets, it is a "hair-raising" experience. Animals that have no problem with conventional vacuums may not like much about the new robot vacuum in their home. Keep in mind animals have sensitive ears and can hear frequencies a human cannot. It may be a good idea to put pets in a kennel or a separate room on the days the unit will be used.
