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

Vacuum recommendations

We've seen great success with the Roomba S9+. We have two German Shedders. But you have to maintain the Roomba. Cleaning it often and cleaning the filters is a MUST.

What's a hygiene habit that people don't talk about but really should?

How though? I have the roomba s9 plus (top of the line when I bought it) and as much as I love it, it requires almost constant maintenance. Every 2-3 days it stops running and gives me a message about filters or brushes. I wish I could ignore a filter for 6 months but if I did it would just not be r

Going from a J7+ to S9+

S9 is an amazing bot, and remarkably still very much undefeated for the most part when it comes to actual cleaning performance. And to my knowledge, it’s the only robot vacuum that use HEPA filtering. That being said, there are two major complaints about the bot - the first of which is navigation. I

Model?

It's an S9+ very good model but sadly some parts are discontinued by iRobot itself unless you buy the parts from another retailers

I think the main issue is expectations. If you're buying a $2500 vacuum you expect it to be the be-all-end-all vacuum, last one you ever have to buy. If you're buying an $800 vacuum you have more realistic expectations. Overall, all robot vacuums are maintenance devices. You still need to manually v

What is the best self emptying robot vacuum for pet owners?

It really depends on your specific needs and budget. If hair pickup + low maintenance are the priority, Roborock S8 Pro Ultra (or equivalent Roborock multi-dock models like Qrevo Plus) are solid options for pet hair and a very low-touch experience. If you want proven obstacle avoidance + broad suppo

Roomba maker iRobot doubts it can survive the next 12 months | Shares tank on dire warning

Their S9+ has treads that wear out frequently, so much so that it can’t go up the ramp to recharge. And you can’t just replace the treads, you have to purchase the whole module at $45 a pop. And the right wheel has been out of stock for over a year.

What is the best robot vacuum for pet hair that doesn't get tangled every 5 minutes?

I’ve had great luck with robots that use tangle-free rubber brushes like the Roomba s9+ or some Roborock models. They still need emptying, but the long hair doesn’t wrap around the rollers constantly

Have robot lawn mower reached ‘Roomba-level’ smart?

I have a Roomba s9+. Never had to do anything to it in 2 years besides change the bag every few months and I replaced one spinning thing on the front after a year.
