Rocky Cave – Vacuum Robot Home

Having a vacuum robot is a first step in getting your home back when the dog is shedding.. Our old vacuum was quite a pain to use and refilling/clearing the water and dust containers took so much effort that i usually just took the vacuum cleaner myself..

Having a new robot with a docking station and a water connection meant the old space under the kitchen furniture “Harry Potter Style” had to be renovated and extended.

Inspired from childhood dreams of heaving my own batcave – but missing the cliff and house – I had to fulfill this at least for Rocky, who gets rid of alot of hair for me.. 🙂

Welcome to the Rocky Cave.
