"A good robovac is a life changer. Even a $350 basic S8. It is a great place to start. ... I promise you that you will not be disappointed by a basic S8. It will change your life even if it can't fit under every piece of furniture you own. ... My two S8s just finished vacuuming our entire house in about 46 minutes. ... While my floors were being cleaned, I sat comfortably on our patio in the cool shade with a slight breeze and composed my far too long response to you while sipping a diet soda and relaxing. ... I will have to spend about four minutes maintaining my two S8s. This will be my entire contribution to my home floor cleaning effort for today. Four minutes!"
"Like 500$ these robots are currently the steal of the century ... You can get a mova p10 pro ultra (cannot remove its mops), equivalent to the l40/x40 for 500$ after a discount code"
"I got the Q5 Pro for $139. ... costs $450 less than what I paid for the S6 ... it is the best value option out there imo."

"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!"

"It picks up all the cat fur, all the dog fur, all the litter, all the human hair."
"I have one teenager who’s messy and a dog who sheds like it’s her job. It’s been a game changer."
"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."

"I think its hands down the best all around option right now, especially once you hook it up to the water line and drain, i run it daily in our house and we got rid of our cleaning help because of it."
"I have an even thicker rug than this and my Curv has no issues ... It's the reason I bought mine because I have an even thicker rug than that and no robot could even climb onto it"
"I absolutely do not regret buying the robot vacuum. ... My room is a lot cleaner and dust-free now, and I can tell just by wiping my floor with a wet toilet paper and seeing barely anything picked up. ... I've been getting allergens a ton less, most of which not even in my room. ... All this for the commitment of a weekly emptying is miles more convenient than vacuuming traditionally, as opposed to making a few taps on my phone. ... looking back it was definitely worth the investment."

"amazing mapping ... Do not get a robot vacuum that doesn’t have lidar. I had iRobots and they are trash at navigating — they just bump into stuff over and over, very inefficient, take ages to clean a room unless it’s an empty square, god help you if you move any furniture."
"for the price they are amazing. ... LiDAR mapping for $99 is hard to find."
"It's got lidar so it maps your house."

"We bought a S7 and it broke down just a little over a year. ... Then it broke down again after a couple of months and we gave up on it."
"after about a year the main brush no longer spins well enough on carpet. ... It's like the motor that runs that brush wears out."
"Battery did start crapping itself after 2 years"

"The j7 got stuck often, maybe 1 out of 4 cleanings it either sucked up a cat toy or jammed itself under something."
"I also have to be careful to pick everything up or it will get stuck after destroying my kids toys."
"Not only does it stop and turn every couple of minutes, but in almost every run through my flat, it missed something. ... sometimes it didn go underneath my table, sometimes it missed a corner, . this was actually the main point why I returned it eventually. ... You need to be able to trust your robot vac to clean everywhere. ... these were not impossible to reach places, and there was no feedback at all why it didn go there."

"I'm spending a lot of time cleaning it after use to maintain it - I thought it would be cleaning for me instead 😉!"
"my god it's fucking buggy and not that smart. ... It regularly needs rebooting and rescuing from getting stuck."
"At least daily I have to go adjust it on its base so it will charge or move it 6” back home because it died on its way back."

"you can't even order replacement parts unless it's from a third party."
"Filters are ¥400 and have an rfid encrypted chip so you MUST buy one from Xiaomi. ... They also 'activate' once swapped out so when the xiaomi app says you have 0% life and need to change that's the end of the discussion. you can't just hose it down and dry it off. ... Same BS as most ink cartridge manufacturers. ... The pocket looters even ask if you want to automate purchases for filters in the future."
"They haven't even had the vacuum in stock on their website for years so you'd have to buy from a third party"

"I'm spending a lot of time cleaning it after use to maintain it - I thought it would be cleaning for me instead 😉!"
"Maintenance is higher than on any other flagship at this price point. ... The lack of a self-emptying station is a big drawback, no matter how much you like the rest of the product."
"Only issue is the maintenance, because if you schedule it, you easily forgot to empty it etc."
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.
r/homeimprovementideas • Robot vacuum for home - what is the best under $500 ->I have 3 of them in our home. I've been getting them for friends, neighbors, and family as gifts over the past few years. No one has indicated they've experienced any issues at all. We also have their stick vac which works great for touchups between full cleanings. Last weekend I spilled sugar on our hardwoods and that stick vac was perfect.
r/wyzecam • Wyze Robot Vacuum owners, what has your ownership experience been like? ->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.
r/Roborock • Roborock Q5 Pro for vacuum cleaning incl. dog hair ->I have the Wyze robot vac and a roomba self emptying vac. I vastly prefer the performance of the wyze vac.
r/BuyItForLife • Robot vacuum recommendation? ->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.
r/BuyItForLife • Pet owners, what's the best robot vacuum for TONS OF PET HAIR that's worked really well? ->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!
r/germanshepherds • Robot vacuum recommendation to tackle GSD hair?? ->Got 3 of them, one for each floor. They all perform very well, although I did have to change the battery in the one on the main floor after a year or two
r/wyzecam • Wyze Robot Vacuum owners, what has your ownership experience been like? ->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
r/wyzecam • Wyze Robot Vacuum owners, what has your ownership experience been like? ->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.
r/IsItBullshit • IsItBullshit: are robot vacuums actually good and worth the money? ->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.
r/homeautomation • What's the best robot vacuum for small apartments? ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
