Sieghard,
Hugh has taken the 'orrible pooch out for a run in the local ruined abby,
but when he gets back, I will ask him for the square footage of the ground
floor. As for timing, I can only guess, roughly an hour, but will time it
tomorrow, always assuming no industrial relations problems with my new
household slave (I speak of the robot, of course!). I should say that I had it
set to "Turbo", which is the more intensive mode. Once you have your floors to
your liking, I imagine, you could use the quicker and less battery intensive
mode "eco". I know that you have no carpets in your house, whereas, I do have
some rugs, little ones in doorways and a couple of larger, say, 6 by 8, or
therabouts, and, I must say, it did a good job on them. Also, re noise, on
Turbo,it is louder than on Eco, but I didn't find it at all loud, even when
Hugh and I and dog were in the kitchen while it was working. When it did the
utility room, I had thought it had forgotten it and so had started feeding the
cat and the dog, it carried on working around them and me, in a really rather
confined space.
I am sure I will come across some glitches, but, so far, I am suitably
impressed and I have had these things, in one form or another, for years! The
app is very nice and seems totally accessible, think I will write to the
owners, not only to request the implant which you so kindly suggested, but also
to congratulate them on a job well done re accessibility!
