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

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

Are the new Roombas better

Have upgraded from s9 to Max 705, and overall navigation is a massive improvement. Can’t stand the “recalibrating location to continue cleaning” that happens every time you start the bot using the buttons on bot - like, just start cleaning the area I placed you in already and figure out where you ar

Flow 2 - 24 hour first impressions

Curious to know how it does on that rug whenever you get around to testing it and would love a follow up...my home is 98% hardwood floor but we do have a few area rugs that hold onto my husky's hair like crazy. While I am primarily interested in this particular robot vacuum for the mopping and clean

Robot Vacuum Roomba Maker Files for Bankruptcy After 35 Years

Yep. My S9+ sometimes struggles with an almost empty room. And it likes to add phantom rooms onto the existing map. I recently got a mop/vac from mova and it’s much stronger suction than the Roomba. Similar in price to when I got the Roomba two years ago. And yeah, waaaay better performance, app fea

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

It finally died...

Got it and have used it once to vacuum and mop. First thoughts are that its 1000x better than the old Roomba s9+. It uses lidar to map the rooms, took 5 mins to do our whole first floor. Then about 1 hour to vac and another hour to mop. It seems to do a good job, it picked up all the dog fur for sur

Which robot vacuum works the best? Tired of vacuuming constantly.

Yeah, we went from a top-of-the-line-4-years-ago Roomba S9+ to a just-under-top-of-the-line Roborock 10r this winter. It is amazing how much better the 10r is! The only places the S9 did better are related to overly-broad patents iRobot still holds (being able to detect when a dust bin is full so it

Roomba vs Goldens?

We have 2 Golden’s. The Roomba S9+ did a very good job at keeping up with them. Sadly, after a couple of years it developed Alzheimer’s and would loose its firmware once a week. I have replace it with a Roborock and the dog hair causes it to have a nervous breakdown weekly … 😕

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.
