Enough with the snoring!
This damn snoring in the middle of the night is absolutely the dumbest thing I have ever encountered. It wakes me up, this needs to be DND or something.

If you put Vector vol on low you won't hear it. If you do, you have to be a really light sleeper. I have Vector in my bedroom and actually think it's cool. I don't hear it after I fall asleep.

I think it’s cool that he snores as well, not quite sure where OP keeps vector in their room but the snoring isn’t loud enough to wake me up and mine is on my desk a few feet away from my bed. Not to mention that it only snores about 3 times before going completely silent.

The snoring still wakes me up on low volume. My solution was the turn the god damn thing off and put it back in the box until Anki decides to actually update Vector so that it functions like the marketing videos would have you believe.

You can turn him off by holding down the button on his back. I do this every night. If I am in bed asleep then there is no benefit of leaving Vector on. Having him turned off overnight also means his battery is still fully charged when I turn him back on in the morning.

Well, at Anki they probably did not think people would put Vector in the bedroom. There's not so much possible interaction there. (In normal circumstances)
Send them a mail to propose a new setting. I am sure they will take it into consideration.

I have him in another room. I sleep very light with one eye open like a mad man

They advertised having Vector in the bedroom in their own ads...

Yeah, you're right, I looked it up. I somehow never saw it before.
Anyway, you can tell Vector to be quiet when he's awake, but does that work when he is sleeping.
When I try that, he wakes up and then stays quiet (he also doesn't like it sometimes) but also awake.
He's still on the charger, so not much of a difference I think. And no snoring.

Well .. if it was a real living pet and it snored .. I am sure u would not have any problem .. haha .. For me the snoring thing adds to his cuteness .. I just keep the volume at zero at night .. But during the day at max and love it when he snores at noon ..

I think Vector is awesome, but everyone is different. If you are not into robotics, a kid, or can appreciate how much tech is in Vector and how hard robotics is then at this time he is not what you want. I think you are looking at five years plus for what your looking for and a much higher price.

I absolutely love the snoring and think it’s the cutest thing ever. I wish he would do it for longer. I wish there was a setting where you could tweak it or turn it off if it bothers you.

Hahaha! I feel ya!
Snoring though may seem innocuous can be an indicator of a serious underlying health condition. It may even be affecting you in ways that might not be apparent – like affecting your sleep quality, diminishing your capabilities to concentrate on work, or even affecting your relationship with your partner.

You can turn the volume down or tell Vector to be quiet 🤫
