"significantly worse object avoidance than than the Dreame x40 and L40 ... The best feature of the L40/X40/p10 pro ultra is that they have class leading object avoidance so you don't have to pick up your cat's toys or prep your house every time you want to run the robot meaning you can run it on a daily schedule which will keep your house cleaner. ... I run my X40s daily and they never get stuck on cables, cat toys and other random junk that ends up on the floor."
"I can basically always trust my X40 to finish a midnight cleaning session in the dark and wake up to find it sitting in its dock and have clean floors in the morning."
"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."

"No issues, it's so small it's out of the way of the eyesight."
"it fits great behind the rear view mirror. ... from the drivers seat you cant even tell its there and its well below the Eyesight cameras. ... Highly recommend"
"it ’s so discrete no screen in your face ... I went for the discreteness of the camera"

"even with the tint to my front windshield, still takes good pictures/videos. ... Honestly, I was skeptic considering I have front tint but it does extremely well even with the tint. Happy with my purchase."
"the starvis 2 sensor this has is great. I have both the older and newer viofo units, and the starvis 2 definitely makes a difference compared to the previous gen."
"get the one with the lense add-on for clearer nightime recording"

"I don't think the angle would be right for a rear dash cam."
Yes, but I’d recommend a dashcam with higher resolution than 1080p. Preferably 2.5K* or 4K. I like Viofo.
r/Camry • Dash cam ->I had the viofo VS1 on my previous car Honda Accord. I upgraded to an SUV recently. I am planning to get an upgrade on the camera as well.
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • VIOFO Dash Cam Giveaway + Sneak Peek at the New A329S Series ->I have the VIOFO VS1 Mini 2K because is so discreet. It's behind the rear view mirror.
r/Dashcam • Best discreet dash cam w/o a screen ->I got the Viofo VS1 because it's small and easily hidden, you can unclip and take it in the office or whatever if its at risk of theft. The HK5 kit works well and parking mode is great but I turned it off inside my garage and when the heat is 90F. Anyways you get the idea.
r/KiaSoulClub • Dashcam Suggestions? ->Everyone says VIOFO mini, but I hate mine and it's unplugged now. It beeps every few minutes going over the smallest bump. It randomly freezes requiring hard reboots, and will stay on when the car is off, beeping constantly until the car turns back on.
r/civic • Dashcam recommendations? ->The best cameras are the Viofos but the Fitcam is the easiest to install cleanly and looks OEM so it really depends on what you're after.
r/Polestar • Dash cam Recommendations ->Great. Would love to win. I have the vs1 hardwired. Love the small size
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • VIOFO Dash Cam Giveaway + Sneak Peek at the New A329S Series ->This, they are the best. Expensive, but WORTH IT. I have a Viofo Mini one (A129? sorry, forgot name) on the windshield and on the back some random $30 bucks one that sadly does not auto-delete oldest clips when memory gets full.
r/COROLLA • My first toyota car (2017) 🙏 ->Best advise. UAE is very hot; a super capacitor-based dashcam is always a good idea. I'm using Viofo VS1 and I'm happy with it. Small and very stealthy, but with good quality videos.
r/DubaiPetrolHeads • Dash cam recommendations ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
