To those who still have doubts about the effectiveness of this product, we have 2 dogs, are in a house full foot in shift. On any evening (followed by ignition of a scooba) our house is clean, without any effort! It is more effective than a human being! easy to clean, all parts are readily available and cheap in case of failure. My only caveat, it is best to turn the whole day a few times a week (for maximum efficiency especially on large parts with table chairs and other). After the bottom ... There just has to press a button and it does the job! A bomb !!!!
