How well do those work around household clutter though?

I think I might be a pretty un-neat person...

Depends on the clutter. Cables are the thing it really hates. Definitely helps to pick up the floor before you run it though, even if that’s just throwing stuff onto the nearest surface.

Personally I found it just makes me less bad about leaving shit on the floor, something I used to be really bad about.

Gotta take 5 mins to clear the floor before running it, yeah

Fabrics, papers, cables, hair ties. Ask your self "will this slide under the roomba?" Or "will two spinning rollers or a spinning brush latch on to this?" Otherwise if the object is big enough or heavy enough it'll bounce off it or navigate around it.
