What I currently have! https://www.irobot.com/en_US/roomba-max-705-vac-robot-plus-autoempty-dock/W155020.html
Navigation is better, but battery dies before it returns to dock. Now I have a constant error that the dust bin is not installed. Anybody have a solution to that?
You care about mopping? If not then I’d recommend the 504 plus or the 705 plus. 504 plus is same as 705 plus except a bit lower suction power
The new roombas have quality issues? The 105,205,504, and 705 releases
The new 705 roomba for $600 on sale has LIDR and AI camera object detection, I find other robots with this are closer to the $1000 range
That’s 700 CAD on Amazon right now with discount
Really? I feel like I’m missing something. Mine is having trouble emptying its bin after a few months and I’m getting annoyed. I ordered the roomba 707 to see how that one does compared to the roborock. For 1K I’m not impressed. 😭
I got the Roomba 707 which arrives today, originally I was going to get a roborock but the heated mop roller on the roomba convinced me otherwise
honestly if you’re gonna go for a roller style mop robot via costco, i recommend the roomba 705 max combo when it’s on sale, it really polishes the floors nicely. i think it’s one of the only ones with a roller style mop besides ecovacs that costco has, which is why i’d go with costco too because their return policy is great. i haven’t had no leaking of the base station since they’ve resolved that issue. only issues i’ve had is the dirty water tank latch on the robot broke, and the clean water tank stayclean solution compartment leaked, and since they don’t have the replacement parts in stock yet, they sent out a brand new unit with more accessories lol
I wish Costco had options with roller mops which I need for my hardwood floors. Currently trying the Roomba 707. Mixed feelings.
I know, and neither are good robots. Only reason I got it was because I won’t be stuck with it if it acts up, which it already did and I’m currently on my 2nd.
I have a Dreame X40 with a tricut brush for the upper mostly carpeted floor, a Roborock Q5 max+ for the basement, and currently trying the Roomba 707 with the roller mop for the main mostly hardwood floor but haven’t decided if I’m keeping it.
For hardwood floors definitely a roller mop, huge difference. The 707 surprised me by how good and consistent it is, it’s dumb but that helps with it being more efficient and consistent, gets the job done. The only reason I’d return it is cause it’s unable to climb the ramp to my living room so I have to carry it there to vacuum the carpet, at this price point the competition is able to climb that ramp. Get it from Costco, cheaper and comes with accessories, also keep an eye out for the new models in January, having high hopes for Eufy’s S2 .
As soon as they stock a robot vacuum with a roller mop other than this Roomba 705 crap I’m jumping on it.
For what it's worth, the Roomba 707 is made by the same company as the newer Dyson bots. I believe they even got the brand in the bankruptcy because of the debt owed.
Yep have two kids and it’s great. There are some pain points. Like you gotta clean up all them toys to give it any chance of making it around but sure this is just tidying anyways. Sometimes you have to clean the charging pads on the base of the unit (this happens like every 2/3 weeks for me which drives me bonkers) - 750e iRobot 😭 I have one that mops too - I honestly wouldn’t say no to the mop and Hoover versions op. Floors look amazing when it’s done - just takes double the time of course. I wish I remembered to use it more. Typically when kids are out of house and one of us working from home it gets fired up You of course still need to vacuum almost as much as before but it’s you end up using the vacuum for when the kids open the Weetabix box carefully across the entire kitchen 😂
