"I’ve seen on the camera the poor guy making multiple trips to self empty while in one room but it’s cut the hair buildup tenfold."
"With three they can just make it to a full week for emptying. ... Life changing."
"One huge leg up for a Shark over Roomba is that the brush roller is similar to a vacuum (e.g. hard plastic), whereas the roomba is a plastic roller with a rubber cover that is DESTROYED by dog fur and you have to frequently replace."

"The roborock I have kicked and smashed with my foot so many times out of anger when it doesn't collaborate, and still he rocks 4-5 yrs later and no broken parts"
"they are extremely durable. ... I’ve got well over 1000 miles out of a pair and they still have grip and the uppers are in great shape"
"I've used them for 1500 miles of multi-day hiking with no issues!"

"Its only gotten stuck twice, and both times were on the same chair that has horizontal bars at floor level that it can get over if it runs at it head on, but can high side itself if approaching from an angle."
"Its got LiDAR, a mop, empties itself, etc."
"Its really neat to watch on the app as it goes about your house and maps it out."

"I don't want to spent $1400+ on a vacuum with a fucking mop because 90% of the 2nd floor is carpet."
"Carpet everywhere."
"The Q5 struggles with any elevation differences: it struggles to get over thin rugs or floor transition strips"

"it will not return to the base station to empty it's dustbin when it's full. ... It just keeps going and ends up clogged and dragging dirt around the floor."
"Every year I disassemble it to clean the vacuum filters and vacuum fan intake. It's a terrible design"
"Sadly there ’s no autoempty dock."

"My only faulty robot vacuum was a Roborock S6 which had constant bumper stuck/'error 2'. ... It rarely completed a run without restarting the run several times. ... This didn't work for me."
"It does get stuck on small toys and cloths. ... i have ti clear everything on my floor including my doormat."
"The roborock MaxV has no extending side brush for corner cleaning. ... Roborock’s side and edge cleaning algorithm is also rather conservative and won’t extend the side brush out to clean closer to edges if there’s like a toe kick"

"costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is very hard for me to justify any of the higher tier models."
"better cleaning performance than my S6"
"I honestly think I prefer my old 2007 Dyson and it is superior at vacuuming"
I also have the mopping Roborock and love it. We have 1 dog and 12 foster cats so daily sweeping and mopping is a necessity. It won’t save op money though I think it was $700. As long as the toys are picked up the only issue it occasionally has is with my really long hair getting wrapped around the rollers.
r/dogs • Is a Roomba-like vacuum worth it for dogs? I need to be de-influenced for my wallets sake ->We have one of Roomba's distant cousins, Roborock, and named him Jarvis. He's a bit naughty though, and keeps getting stuck on things he shouldn't, but he works hard and he's a godsend, TBH, keeping the house clean during the week.
r/adhdwomen • Messy moms who got a roomba, how did it go? ->I got the Costco one as well and I have no regrets.
r/smarthome • What smart home upgrade made you say “why didn’t I do this sooner”? ->I just bought a Roborock mop and vacuum from Costco and love it. Huge upgrade from my old Roomba. It self empties and washes the mops. All you do is refill water and empty dirty water. With your budget you can even afford the upgraded model that cleans with hot water and is better in the corners . Go for it!
r/homeautomation • Wife says it's time, what's the best robot vacuum? ->I thought the same until I tried a mopping robo. Having your floors mopped twice a week while you’re at work is priceless. You can still do some extra mopping once a month if you feel the need.
r/homeautomation • Wife says it's time, what's the best robot vacuum? ->Hardwood only: Roborock (S6 or newer) Carpet: Roomba. (i7+ or newer)
r/homeassistant • What's the best recommended Robot Vacuum on the market that you really swear by? ->We got a Eufy C10 about 2 weeks ago. Previously had a Roborock S6 Pure. Almost all carpet home, very fluffy. I would have to empty the RR every 5 minutes or so otherwise it would start leaving fluff behind. Never used the mop. We've had it several years and it's a great vacuum, but I decided I really wanted a self empty vacuum only, no mop. I live in Aotearoa New Zealand and there was only one option - the Eufy C10 on clearance. So far it's great. Significantly quieter than the RR, just as effective at cleaning. It gives off a slightly drunk vibe as it doesnt have Lidar so it does lots of 360s to check its location, on the other hand it has a lower profile so can get right into the toekick in our kitchen. Because our carpet is so thick and fluffy (I'm pretty sure its wool) I think the self empty bag will be full within a month. If you can get it in your country I think it's worth it. Was $400NZD for us. And I have ordered a bunch of bags from Ali express.
r/RobotVacuums • Are carpet-only vacs not really a thing anymore? ->I have 3 cats in a 1600 sq ft house. Just bought the $500 Roborock from Costco and am so far super happy. I was going to do the next one up, but figured I’d try this first. I had a roomba years ago and this is sooo much better. Life changing actually. Once it dies maybe I’ll get the step up, but so far super happy with this model. Costco also has a decent return policy if anything begins to malfunction.
r/Roborock • Should I drop $1800 on a robot vacuum or go cheaper? ->I have a roborock. It's a bit older, S6 Pure but it does a better job with pet hair than I could with my swiffer.
r/homeowners • What robot vacuums for pet hair do you absolutely swear by? Good brands that you love? ->S6 Pure 2021. Still kicking. Replaced filter and that is all. Looking at the 10r for the self emptying and mopping.
r/RobotVacuums • robot vacs you've used for YEARS ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
