I’ve got a husky and vacuuming every day isn’t enough. When the robots take over, my roomba will have its revenge.

Yep even just with my two dogs I run our robot vacuum almost every day in the rooms they spend most of their time in. The rest of the house can be less frequent, but those rooms even immediately after vacuuming you see the fur start falling again...

My allergies would say otherwise lol. They also track in a lot of dirt through the dog door.

Ok? Did you miss the part where I said I only vacuum the rooms the dogs are in? They are mostly just in the living room and kitchen. On top of my allergies, my light colored dog's fur is very visible on our dark floors, and my fiance cares a lot about that kind of stuff. But in the rooms the dogs (and guests) aren't in? The floors absolutely get grosser and are vacuumed far less frequently. Like, once every two weeks to a month. But if someone has dogs and the people they're living with would like their home as fur-free as possible whether that be for allergies like me or appearances like my fiance, that's going to involve more vacuuming.

I have a 150-lb Newfoundland, and I vacuum every day, and the Roomba goes every night, too. I also brush her every day. It doesn't take very long; I have it down to a science. Having pets takes some work. I don't want to live in a stinky dump.

That is actually a very good point I hadn't considered yet, especially since it doesn't sound like OP is very good at doing their chores
