Combo Essential

Actually I wouldn't go with a non-brand robot vacuum. Yeah, the ratings *look* good on the surface, but who knows how legit that data actually is? And trust me, these things *always* have issues eventually. When yours breaks (not if!), good luck even finding their customer support – it'll probably vanish. Now, back to your budget. For under $150, your best bets are: 1. **eufy S11 Max** ($149.99) 2. **iRobot Y0140** ($139.99) 3. **yeedi c12** ($149.99) But heads up, none are perfect. That iRobot model? The app kinda sucks sometimes. With any of these in this price range, it really depends on what you *expect* a $150 vac bot to actually do. Manage your expectations!

I got that exact one a while back. Fyi it is not the self emptying base version, no matter what the description says 😭

That's correct for the self-emptying version. However, they simply did not ship the self emptying version. :( (If you get the self empty version, I'll be livid)

I bought one a while ago for the novelty since it was a black Friday sale (and I suck at keeping a schedule to vacum. Didn’t have mapping but I thought it would be smart enough to still navigate just fine. Instead it just rams into things then randomly changes direction. Meanwhile, a coworker bought some  bootleg that cost a fraction of the price and it runs flawlessly. All the extra shit that roomba charges for in it’s higher tier models are included for free.  Never buying another roomba product. They’ve clearly just been coasting off of brand recognition.

I have been looking for one for years. My solution had been to just toss our old one in the shop when we upgrade the one in the house. My wife ran over one, they survive for about 6-12 months. True industrial ones are just stupid expensive. If you can find a used i-mop on eBay, that's the ticket, but it's not automatic.

I’ve had robot shark and roomba. I believe running them daily has prevented us from being buried in dog hair and 100% recommend a robot vacuum. My dogs are very housebroken and I’ve never had the poo every where situation.  Overall, I think the shark works a little better, but I think the roomba’s features and app are better. I just upgraded to the dual vacuum/mop roomba and it’s not perfect but I’m happy. I still have to real vacuum once a week as it doesn’t get all the hair all the time, but the literal basketball was of hair I pull out of the canister every few weeks tells me it’s working pretty damn good. 

Roomba Combo models are so lame compared to older iRobot products! I know, I've tried one. Highest rated are Roborock and Dreame. I'm very happy with my Dreame bots.

must…..resist….robot vacuum. I got the Roomba like $8-900 combo mop/vac recently and am not too impressed with it for the retail value. I’m half tempted to try this one as it’s in my RFY, but I’m hoping someone else claims it as I don’t really need it 🤣
