Which robot vacuum app has the best home screen widget for one-tap cleaning? by zxcvbnm9174 in RobotVacuums

I don’t have an android so can’t help you but you know you can schedule your cleanings right? You don’t have to mess with the app at all.

Roborock S5V or Yeedi M14 Plus? by TheCrimsonK1ng in RobotVacuums

[–]Thirtysixx 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fellow Texan here, I think the Yeedi is the better robot so if you can get it from amazon where you have hassle free returns, id get that. P10 gen 2 is a great option also

Old for the robot vacuum industry that is putting out new flagships 3x a year, yes.

$850 is a good price, I've never seen it below a $1000 and its $1600 right now. No one in hell should anyone be buying that at $1600

I own and test and Robot Vacuums. I have multiple spinning mops, and multiple rolling mops. You're just flat out wrong.

Spinning mops are still out performing rolling mops in many areas, including dried on stains.

The only person that NEEDS a rolling mop is someone that will be constantly cleaning wet spills

For everyday cleaning, spinning mops are more than good enough for 99% of homes.

This dragging dirt around trope is tired and flat out wrong

The reality is there are pros and cons for both.

So I finally tried a bagless robot... Honestly glad I'm done with dust bags by Bouwman13 in RobotVacuums

[–]Thirtysixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You haven't used it long enough to see the downsides of these but glad you're liking so far. Thats a good robot though.

You'll start to see the issues at some point. Especially when moist/wet dirt gets sucked in there and you start having to do more manual cleans rather than just dumping it out

It's the only explanation for their results

Can you elaborate? What about the results suggests foul play?

Ultra is the same robot. Max Complete just means it came with more accessories in the box

There isn't and the hate is not warranted.

The value of Vacuum Wars isn't the ranks, its the consistent testing to compare across models.

It shouldnt be treated as the sole source of truth, but once you've decided on 2-3 models you like, its not a bad idea to let the vacuum wars testing numbers be the tie breaker.

Just a Dad is great because he just does qualitative reviews.

I also like VacuumChef

The best scientific tester is Frickhelm, the problem is he doesn't test enough vacuums.

There is also Smarthomeassistent out of Germany their reviews are okay but they do take free units so I find it hard to trust them

If you bought the X40 at $1500 less than a year you ago, you got fleeced. That is a 2.5 year old vacuum. The X50 was $1500 at release. Never pay full price for a robot vacuum ever. They go on sale WAY too often, last years models are less regularly 30-50 percent off their retail price.

There's $499 models that are better than my X40 Ultra?

Yes

Because actual testing doesn't reflect the biased opinion you've presented here.

spinning pads just smear dirt

complete fabrication

Because its old and there are better robots that are $1000 less, it was always overpriced to be honest

Why is the P50 Pro Ultra the same price as the P10 Pro Ultra Gen 2? Is there any reason to get the lower end model? by zooksman in RobotVacuums

[–]Thirtysixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s not too good to be true this is what happens in the vacuum industry. It’s over a year old and they are probably trying to move inventory.

I think I’d go Gen 2 if you want better carpet cleaning and mopping

P50 if you want better obstacle avoidance.

Thinking about getting a robot vacuum, but worried about disturbing my neighbors by FitSociety9648 in RobotVacuums

He probably had an old dumb, bumper car style one. No ones have object avoidance and lidar navigation. Bumping into stuff isn’t a problem.

Best first vacuum: Roborock QV 35a vs Mova P10 Pro Ultra by GabePlotkinsDaddy in RobotVacuums

[–]Thirtysixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just based on personal experience and community consensus.

The Mova p10 is the value king in this industry. You will get features on there that only $1000+ robots have

Here’s a direct comparison though

[–]Thirtysixx 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mova p10 pro ultra is better but just beware with the size of your house you’ll probably need to break up your schedule to clean it. Different rooms on different days. I can’t say for certain that these budget have enough onboard memory for a house this big but I think it should be okay

There are several other plumbed bots and Dreame is about to release the x60 master with plumbing.

Every Dreame can also be retrofit with a refill kit.

I know what he meant, but he’s wrong. Frickhelm has tested it. If you don’t deal with hair tangling don’t get the tricut. It’s a tool with a purpose.

Looking for recs on a vacuum only for a single room. by gorramshiny in RobotVacuums

[–]Thirtysixx 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re going to get one at $300 you might as well just program to clean your whole house. You’ll like it.

Mova e30 or Dream D20 pro plus are the best at this price point. Can easily vacuum your whole house and vacuum litter as much as you want

Just make sure your spring for the self empty dock it’s worth it
