is this a good find?

S9+ It came out in 2019 and is arguably the BEST roomba for straight cleaning performance especially carpet due to its large front rollers and non restrictive rear air exhaust. It still ranks on the top for robot vacuums based on cleaning performance especially on carpet It lacks obstacle avoidance

Favorite model in terms of power

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.

Amazon Claim: Frequently returned item

The P50 Pro Ultra was frequently returned at release because a lot of people received the unit with a broken front wheel, and the only course of action was to return it and re-order it. There was not a commercially available replacement wheel. I believe there now is a replacement that can be purchas

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

Flow 2 - 24 hour first impressions

Very surprised you had issues with the S9+! That robot is a beast with suction. I want to wait to run it on carpet until I’m home haha - there’s a coffee table on the rug and the flow 2 would always ram itself under and scratch the top up. The dust bin being so tiny is my only concern with carpet cl

Q5 Pro+ :Did I get a dud?

For carpets, the Dyson VisNav will be much better and after that is the iRobot roomba S9+ which has been reported to rip out carpet fibers but these robots have their own tradeoffs.

First time User

That's a comprehensive answer! But, spending time here for months and delving deeper into the robot vacuum world, there are strengths and weaknesses in each robot vacuum brand. Historically, Roborock and Dreame traced their roots back to Xiaomi's investment group, and both companies are designing pr

Best quality-hair roomba (focused on pet hair)

For raw cleaning power for Roombas specifically, the best for pet hair and carpet will always be the Roomba s9+, followed by the vacuum only j9+. This is excluding the new Chinese manufacturerd roomba lineup. The s9 still clears the j9 too. It’s an older robot from 2019 with no pet waste avoidance,

Is my Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra kind of dumb?

Overall, the S8 MaxV Ultra actually comes on top for carpet pickup in the more recent vac & mop combo robots (3rd overall, including older vacuums). The S8 Pro Ultra is a little worse at low pile carpet, but is currently the best at pet hair. Here's a breakdown of the tables: Also, the top two for c

Roborock Saros 10R or Dreame X50 Ultra?

I really like it. Navigation works much better than the Roomba S9+ I had. It's been stuck <5 times since we got it. Mopping works well. Vacuuming carpet is my only minor complaint. Wish it had a wider, better vacuum. It does decent...but not as good as the roomba dual brush. Would buy it again if it
