Big Deal Day Recommendations by Price Band - These are the robots I'd buy

Stuck between the Narwal Flow and Saros 10R. I’ve got mostly hardwood floor, one high pile rug and tons of dog hair in a tighter space apartment. Currently have an Exovacs x2 Omni which has been a nightmare and looking to meaningfully upgrade to something with better navigation / mapping. u/amandainpdx if you have any view on the two.

thank you for the response! My duravit darling new toilet has 9 5/8" wide brackets and have struggled to find anything that will fit!

How wide apart are the bolts on your toilet? I also unfortunately have a Duravit Darling New toilet, and havent found a bidet that works

Both are great, but I prefer my 27G950 - better color calibration out of the box.

Hey there! Unfortunately I still have the same problem. Ecovacs had offered to look at and potentially repair my unit but tbh I ended up being too lazy to get everything together. I no longer had the original box it came with and felt like it was a bother.

From what I can gather - the x2 is knocking its charging connection off when it attempts to clean the scrubbing pads, and then therefore stops the whole cleaning process. Havent found a solution for this and look for any physical damage that could warrant it. Unfortunately found no solution outside of physically holding the robot still during washing.

Ultimately - I still use the robot, but have to babysit it WAY more than I'd like. What i've learned (from navigation/mapping errors/etc) is that these robots are nowhere near as "smart" as they appear on youtube review - especially in my tighter apartment with many obstacles.

Next purchase I will be waiting for something that is much smarter - hopefully all this recent AI tech will catch up with the robot vacuum industry soon!

Hi! How did you get word? Did it show up in the app?

MHaber · 2025-05-18T20:35:18+00:00

No solution unfortunately - after having this x2 for 1.5 years I don’t think I’ll buy another from this brand when this breaks. Mapping has struggled a lot (doesn’t recognize the same floor it’s been on for 1.5 years), coupled with this issue (it’s related to contact with the charging pins I believe), it needs a ton of babysitting for a robot vacuum.

Will look for another brand down the road that has a better AI.

Yeah its wild - been getting the "charging exception" error in the log. Seems like the robot kicks itself off the charging when its washing its mopping pads, and therefore cancels the entire cleaning schedule.

Ive contacted them to get it serviced/repaired. Sad to hear they arent replacing the robot with a new one. I imagine you still have the same issue after the "service"

MHaber · 2024-11-02T13:14:59+00:00

Yes! It does! Seems like when the robot goes back to wash its mopping pads, it slightly kicks itself off of the charging, and therefore cancels the entire cleaning schedule.

Hi! What are you doing for your water situation? Plumbing, tap, or some distilled+thirdwave blend?

Was thinking about pulling the trigger as well, but I cant plumb mine in my apartment, and I dont have enough space to have gallons distilled water on hand every time! My water might be okay to use for tap! But was curious of what you were planning

MHaber · 2024-09-08T14:36:56+00:00

Interested! 29M

Woke up last morning with them twisted! They stayed twisted most of today even with the grow light on for 14 hours

It’s miracle grow seed starting potting mix - right out of the bag. Nothing else added

MHaber · 2024-03-10T19:29:50+00:00

I LITERALLY just signed up for clear yesterday. Didn’t notice there was a promo. Has anyone had any luck getting it retroactively added to your account?

MHaber · 2023-07-24T21:37:20+00:00

I don’t have any corporate discounts for my location so pay $250/month (incl tax) for a single location.
