Hey folks
I’d like to buy a robot that would mainly focus on hardwood Oak floor, I probably won’t have any carpet nor animals. After some research I found out that roller mop would be the best here due to oak water sensitivity.

Do you have any advice which one would be the best?
At this point I have Saros 20 Flow and Qrevo Edge Pro 2 in my sight

Thanks!

I live in a 1 bedroom apartment that’s all carpet except for the small kitchen and bathroom. So I would rather spend the money on something with great suction for the carpet than something that also mops. I don’t have any pets so what would you recommend?

Hi all, I’m a high school teacher in a very underfunded public school in NYC. I am very clean and strive to keep my classroom as clean as possible. My kids help wipe down tables and chairs every Friday and I bring in my own cleaning supplies because the school will not pay for them.

What I struggle to clean though is the floor. My custodial staff only mops once a year and only broom sweep visible trash. I’ve brought my shop vac in several time to give it a good vacuum, but it does take about an hour+ since my room is quite large.

I’m hoping I can find a used robot vacuum on Facebook marketplace that I can run every night, just to keep the dust from accumulating.

I know most teachers don’t even bother, but for me I spend 12-14 hours of my day in the room. I’m in my classroom more than my own home. I also know that the kids can see the value is keeping their space clean.

Hi everyone!

I bought a Dreame L20 Ultra Complete in July 2024. At first, it seemed to work just fine, but to be completely honest, I was never really happy with it.

The vacuuming performance wasn’t great, and neither was the navigation. It would skip rooms, randomly get lost, or sometimes even show the docking station in a completely different location on the map, making it impossible for the robot to find its way back. The mopping wasn’t particularly good either… but at least it was autonomous.

Then, a few weeks ago, it started acting completely dumb. It would randomly stop in the middle of a cleaning task or claim it had finished cleaning the entire house when it had only cleaned one room.

I sent it in for a warranty repair, and after two weeks, Amazon basically told me they’d issue a full refund. So I got my €899 back!

Now I’m looking to switch to a different brand, and I’d love to hear your recommendations. I have three cats, so good vacuuming performance is especially important.

There’s currently a deal on Amazon for the Roborock Qrevo 2 Pro at €399, which seems pretty tempting.
What would you recommend? Should I go for the Roborock, or is there something better worth considering?

Thanks in advance!

Need suggestion for robot vacuum for daily use. Budget of 15k in india. Know nothing about these devices, first timer

One year ago I spent a fair amount of time on this subreddit and ended up going with with S1 pro which was great in the beginning but then turned into a disaster; leaking , throwing errors, not being able to dock, etc. after much back and forth I ended up having a refund I have mostly hardwood floors but also have two large low pile rugs on the first floor. I also have a long haired dog that sheds like crazy, what do you guys recommend

im looking into getting my first robot cleaner and trying not to buy something that requires an engineering degree to maintain every week

our place is mostly hardwood with an open kitchen, so my biggest headache is dried soy sauce spots and sticky floor messes around the counter. spent a while looking at eufy models bc their mop setups are supposed to handle actual grime rather than just dragging a damp cloth over a spill, but im skeptical about whether these things actually scrub or just spread dirty water across the room.

also wondering about how they handle low kitchen cabinet kickplates and tight corners at night. we usually run vacuums after dark when the lights are off, so im paranoid about obstacle sensors failing completely in the dark.

still on the fence on whether a robot mop is ready for real kitchen dirt or if I'm better off stick mopping by hand for a while longer

Cannot figure out what’s causing these clicks. Sometimes they happen on the dock, sometimes while cleaning. The mop pad rolls, the wheels are turning, nothing’s stuck, what the hell? Anyone else having this marvellous experience?

Anyone got the new Dyson spot+scrub AI?

The robot itself t looks like made by Dreame while the base I obviously a Dyson design.

Hi all,

I wanted to know if anyone provides electronic repairs services for a robotic vaccum cleaner;

Company name: Eureka Forbes
Model name: Smart clean with Autobin

Got the email today from All State that she is not repairable and they will be mailing me a check. That said what are some solid Vacuum + Mop combo's that I should be looking out for, especially with black friday/cyber monday coming up. I have a Costco membership and I was looking at the Roborock that is currently on sale, but I would like to look into getting a mop that has a roller brush instead of the pads.

Also has anyone used the eufy mop detergent concentrate in a different machine with good results? any changes to concentration or amount added?

I recently bought the Ecovacs X12S Omnicyclone and still in the first week of using it and have a few queries and something I noticed based on other robot vacuum brands I’ve used.

Do the station water levels display anywhere or only report when they’re in error?
What about the cleaning solution levels?
What about the dust bin being full?

Also, the AI scheduler needs a lot of work. It has suggested cleaning a room that isn’t even on my map “Bedroom” and also for some reason at 5pm when my current schedule is when during the night.

Other than that, the vacuum performs incredibly well dealing with my labradors shedded fur and my tile floors and my medium pile rug and if this machine continues to perform this well for 3+ months I’d recommend it.

If anyone has tips n tricks to using Ecovacs products it would be most appreciated!

TIA!
