iRobot launches eight new Roombas and finally adds lidar mapping
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.
A stark reminder that cloud reliant products really aren't your own: Roomba Maker iRobot Warns of Bankruptcy, Running Out of Cash and Time
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...
Roborock surprisingly didn’t do well in VacuumWars best vac/mop awards
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...
Teachers of Reddit, what are your most terrifying "Gen Alpha Can't Read/Behave/Etc." horror stories?
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...
L50 Pro Ultra seems just like X50 besides a few differences—what’s the catch?
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...
CarefulDrive Question
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...
Any combo robots that excel at both vacuuming and mopping?
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...
Model?
S9 plus, the best built roomba ever, super powerful💪🏻💪🏻
I have a new pet named roobert. How do I make him happy/feel at home? He is comfortable enough to explore the house and he eats a lot of dirt. Though he doesn't do well with closed doors or the dark. Should I decorate his place? (Thing in the picture)
J9 is a beautiful roomba. One of my favorite resides My i3+ is still hanging in there. My mom’s s9+ is good too but she’s thinking about gifting it to me so I’m excited as it’s my favorite design and I believe it has the most power
Quick question, do u guys life in your households? Cause my roomba gets caught on everything
The 690 is like the bare bones with very old tech. When iRobot switched to the rubber beater bars that really helped with getting tangled in wires and the cleaning/tracking was much more efficient. The j series brought object detection which means it usually will go around said object. The newest se...
