Their stubbornness on using camera based navigation was bad, but then when Amazon was going to buy them I think it also scared off a lot of more tech savvy users. I sold mine and replaced them (S9+/M6) with one Q Revo. Roborock is out here making vacuums with robotic arms that pick up and move thing

In a more standardized test using lab-certified dust done by a German-based YouTube channel, Roborock's flagship has the weakest vacuuming power of embedded sand on carpet compared to Dreame, Roomba S9+, Dyson vis nav, and even Electrolux's first robot vacuum from the '90s. This is due to ineffectiv

Fuck iRobot. I spent $1500 on the s9+ for the camera to fail after a year and no help from them. I probably ran it at most two times a week. Garbage.

All of the below is speculation. Why it's not available on all front-camera-based models (i.e. j5, j6, j7 too): probably just a matter of feature segmentation, just like how the PrecisionVision obstacles detection is only enabled to detect "pet waste" and wires/cables on the j6 series (it won't avoi

I'm GenX. I just bought a Roomba S9+ for super cheap at a thrift store. Took it home, and it worked pretty well, but it kept stopping with an error code that it was near an edge - there was no edge. After a bunch of rebooting and easy troubleshooting, it still had the same issue. More reading led me

The roomba s9+ is the most powerful roomba The 2nd most powerful is the 980. Because both have exhaust fans on the rear of the unit, not downwards and could be obstructed by carpet like the i and j models, the s9 and 980 can provide consistent extreme suction on carpets.

S9+. The best and worst Roomba I’ve ever had. It red ringed four times due to “internal communication error” so I make iRobot take it back. I have a cheaper one now that gives me no problems. If this is cheap, go for it! If they fixed the problems with the software and it doesn’t red ringed on you,

I’ve had the Dreame L50 Pro Ultra for about two weeks now, and I’m honestly super happy with it. I upgraded from a Roomba S9+, and the difference is night and day. I was really torn between the L40s Pro Ultra, the L50 Pro Ultra, and the X50 Ultra. My home is completely flat (no thresholds/steps), so

It’s hard to find a combo that can clean carpets as well as some vacuum only robots like the Dyson VisNav and the iRobot roomba S9+ (which has been reported to rip out carpet fibers). Hair can be easily removed by good combo robots. If your pets shed a lot, I’d recommend the Dreame L/X50 Ultra, L40S
