Wyze - Robot Vacuum

I have a wyze for $100. It’s not the best, but it’s $100 so I can’t argue. Only thing it doesn’t get is the cat litter, so I just sweep that up.

Good to know, thanks. Our old Wyze had to stop and recharge in our single-story house but Q5 Pro has better battery life so I think it will get the job done on a single charge no matter what setting we use.

I have tried cheap ones and pricy ones, and I have 3 fluffy dogs (one is very large), 2 cats, and a toddler. I have wood floors, and think area rugs, and so long as they have mapping technology they all have been fine! They just need to be maintained to really work, like cleaning the roller and stuff! We have a Shark and a Wyze right now.

I see it's been some time since anyone posted to this thread ...which is actually perfect! since my question is: are the robot vacuums you guys recommend in this thread still functioning well, still reliable? I have one GSD who sheds like crazy (I knew this in advance and he's adorable 🥰). I'm real concerned that any robot vacuum I buy to clean up after him will necessitate me having to clean it (the vacuum) frequently, or it will have a short life span. I have a WYZE Lidar robot vac right now and while it worked great before GSD came on the scene, it's not at all holding up well to the task....Also, I'm spending a lot of time cleaning it after use to maintain it - I thought it would be cleaning for me instead 😉! Any recommendations are welcome. Thanks!

I've had three robotic vacs and WYZE has been BY FAR the best - over DEEBOT and SHARK. I am sick that you can't find them anymore. I would get another one in a heartbeat

So during the prime day sales, Roborock had a bunch of higher tiered robot vacuums were on sale for about $300-$350 and Ecovacs & Dreame are also really good. It includes LiDAR, which is the best kind of floor tracking, a camera for obstacle detection, a vacuum and mop with the mop lifting 10mm+ to avoid getting carpet and rugs wet, self cleaning mop head and drying (so no mold occurs), auto emptying bin so the vacuum can go like a month without any human maintenance (I would of course do some). I have a cheap Wyze one and it works great for vacuuming the floor. Just don’t leave wires and stuff for it to get stuck on and you’ll be fine. You can set nogo zones so it won’t hit a section of the room, you can usually spot clean like someone spills a bunch of rice and you don’t want to take a normal vacuum to it. A cordless vacuum and robot vacuum are great if you don’t have carpet and small amount of rugs.

A cheap Wyze bot that I flashed with Valetudo. A big thing that helps is taking the time to make your house robot compatible. Things like using velcro cable ties to get cables up off the floor, finding places for shoes (boot trays, shoe racks, etc) so the robot doesn't suck up the laces, etc.

I have a Wyze robot vac cleaning 3 tines a week and I can't believe how much cat hair it picks up. The dustbin is full every time. It also picks up most of the cat litter the cats track out of the boxes.

Wyze was my fav but they don't seem to make them anymore. Eufey worked well but the gears were cheap and they got mechanically loud over time Roborock is highly respected in Reddit, but the mop tank in ours does not dry out as it's completely enclosed. You also can't open that part to air it out. So mop feature is now useless to use. Furthermore, the mop tank makes the vacuum tank and vacuum empty area smaller. So it gets clogged with our rabbits hay. Which is an unusable issue that most ppl won't have however we have not had it on iRobot, eufy, or Wyze. Only roborock The roborock is quietest. But wife likes it the least cause mop function leads to it getting mildew or getting clogged often. The mop also grazes the top of our median pile carpet enough that we won't use in on our white carpet as it drags a wet rag over the top just enough to be an issue over time Roborock is actually our least favorite given it's the most advanced m/newest yet works the least for our use case Also, lidar uses IR lasers. Which I swear our rabbits can see. We can see it scanning via the IR cam on our Wyze camera. We worry it will damage there eyes at its right at eye level. So we don't use it in all areas. And 2 of our 3 rabbits do seem to have eye issues but idk if that from the vacuum or from their past life as adoptions. If you have pets I don't recommend running the lidar ones when they might be in the room

I have the Roborock Saros 10R and its split roller makes short work of our Newton's never ending trail of glitter. I have owned (and replaced) a Wyze Smart Vac and a Roomba. Neither holds a candle to the Saros 10R.
