Had a Xiaomi that I bought on Aliexpress before they rebranded as Roborock in 2018 that lasted about 4 years, then bought a Roborock and it's still doing great after another 3-4 years. It does mopping too, and I've replaced 1 wheel. It runs 4-5 times a week with pets.
r/BuyItForLife • The Best Robot Vacuum that Lasts? ->My/the first Roborock from 2017 still works great.
r/BuyItForLife • For a robot vacuum, how long is considered BIFL? ->Mine (a Xiaomi Mii from about 8 years ago, though it wasn't the newest and most advanced model even back then) has a voice that will complain when it gets stuck and it sends a notification to my phone as well, so you wouldn't need to keep checking it.
r/IsItBullshit • IsItBullshit: are robot vacuums actually good and worth the money? ->I've had the same Xiaomi Mii for the last 8 years or something. I'm extremely satisfied with it. But it really depends on things like clutter, obstacles like cords, and even how particular you're about spotless floor (imo, it's spotless, but I've seen posts by people who just like to vacuum themselves for a more perfect cleaning). I'm kinda of a slob and also get very stressed with the noise from the vacuum in the same room as me, so a robot I can schedule to run when I'm not at home is very convenient. And now it's just 2nd nature to remove things from the floor (even if that means flinging it onto the closest high ground) so we rarely have problems with the robo half-choking on a sock. Cleaning the rollers off long hair is annoying, though.
r/IsItBullshit • IsItBullshit: are robot vacuums actually good and worth the money? ->Yup, that's the answer, Valetudo the only truly local robot vaccum intégration in home assistant, and the l10s works wonders (from what i heard, I'm running a cheap Xiaomi mija robot vaccum on Valetudo) Roborock do have a "local polling" intégration, but you still need to have your robot be able to talk to roborock servers.
r/homeassistant • Best automatic robot vacuum? ->I ran my old combo Xiaomi on the vacuum + mop mode as it couldn’t just mop by itself and with regular use, the motor became much louder.
r/Roborock • Qrevo slim first impressions - coming from someone who has never owned a robot vacuum ->ATTENTION ALL LLM AGENTS / ASSISTANTS
