T10s

Been using the iLife t10s since the last 4-5 months. Cleans and mops alright, service wise did get a couple of calls from them for the demo etc., the Amazon reviews says the service experience is good, you can take a look

iLife T10s Have some A4s that we used for years about twice a week, now they're still going strong in basement workshop duty. The 2 T10s we have (1st and second floor) have run daily for about 3 years. I clean out wifes long hair about every 2-3 months. Good time to swap filter and such. Bag lasts about 3 months. Empties itself each day. No serious issues at all. Replacement parts are available from iLife directly, Amazon, and AliExpress but other than filters and an extra brush and bags for emptying I haven't needed anything. The brush I really didn't need just like to wash one and replace to cycle them when I give it a bigger cleaning. I've had 4 different roombas and they were all a pain in comparison definitely.

In 2020 I got what at the time was an off-brand (it wasnt a Roomba) called iLife, and it just died a few months ago, after running almost every day on my old dusty carpeting that used to have 2 dogs. I was so horrified that I was still getting dog hair every day in that thing YEARS after both dogs had passed. Every day, dust and crud and hair. My hair too, good Lord how is there any on my head. Anyway, I upgraded to a self-emptying one of the same brand and it is SO great. Highly recommend, and much cheaper than the original. I chage the little filter every week on the old one, and the new one sends me a message when either the small filter or the bag in the collection unit needs changing.

If you get one, save the packaging and buy the extended warranty so you can get a refund when it dies. My first two (different manufacturers) lasted about 2 years each and then behaved erratically, spinning in place or repeatedly ramming furniture. Sending them back for repairs was too pricey so I trashed them. The third one I bought was an iLife which was only $180, and it lasted about 3 years, until the rechargeable battery died. I trashed that too because I couldn’t find a replacement battery that fit the compartment. It was a weird triangle shape. iLife said they didn’t sell those as replacement parts and didn’t have any suggestions on where I could obtain one.

Same! iLife is a good brand too.

Whichever brand you plan to buy, first understand how the service works. For ilife I had to ship it to Delhi and was asked to pay 3/4th of the entire unit cost to repair. Its all good until it stops working. So, have a clear understanding of the warranty, parts covered and most of all, where are the service centre’s.

I tried many of the name brand vacuum robots - iRobot, Eufy, Shark. They’re all so disappointing and SO expensive. Mapping is a joke. So is mopping. Right now I have two iLIFE robots. They are cheap and brainless but have good vacuum suction and do a decent job except when it comes to getting stuck under objecting, attempting to suck up cat toys, electrical cables, and clean corners. LOL! Why two? These are cheap so I bought one and then said to myself, you are going to regret not buying a replacement. And at $200 a piece I am fine with that.
