Dreame L10s Ultra Gen2 essentially stopped using water 4 weeks after I bought it. Very disappointed. How usual is that? Is my water too hard?

Hi,

I recently bought the Dreame L10s Ultra Gen 2 and have

  • the station set to soak it with as much water as possible
  • the drip water dispenser set to the max. (32)

... and despite that it seems that

  • It does not get enough water during the start (I sometimes send it directly back to the station to clean the mop a second time)
  • It dries up very fast even if I take the mops off and manually make them wet in the sink, so it seems not enough water is dripping onto the mop

The new device essentially starts mopping 50% of my floor almost completely dry.

Was curious if anyone here has a similar experience with a robot that is that new. I know the water is pretty hard here in the city, but I'm not planning to buy a filter or distilled water just for a vaccum. And I could understand if it happens after half a year, but not after 4 weeks when I just use it 3 times per week...

Thanks!

Is CS hangouts currently free?

Hi, I am not a paying member anymore. Yet I can use this new terribly designed AI-slop feature. Was curious if that is intended, a bug or related to the location I have set.

Thanks

My travel map of West Asia — There's no region I can recommend more. Food, the sights and people. Travel to more of these countries!

What I'd really want to visit in the future:

  • Southern Turkey (Hatay, Mardin, Gaziantep) for amazing food and views
  • Southern Iraq (Bagdad especially, but also Karbala and Samarra)
  • Northern Iran (Gilan, Mazandaran provinces where tea is produced, including cities like Rasht and Tabriz)

PSA for Travellers: The online form to get an eVisa does not accept passports that expire within six months, despite the website claiming three months are enough.

Hi,

This could potentially ruin some trips:

>How long should be the validity of the passport in order to apply for e-visa?
>
>Validity period of the passport or other travel document should be at least 3 months more than the validity period of the electronic visa planned to be issued.

Reality: The web form only let's you select April 2027 today, which is even a bit over 6 months.

See:

I figured I'd share this here in case anyone is planning a trip to Azerbaijan and is waiting to get their visa just before the flight.

Was the 45/60 day "unlock" rule for Jaloliddin Manguberdi & Afrosib trains removed?

Hi,

just clicked through the calendar on various journeys (e.g. Bukhara to Kiva) and fast trains are really booked out on ever day even past the 45 or even 60 day date.

For example even tickets for October now are listed as "There are no seats".

Similar on other routes. So, did they now remove "trains can be booked up to 45 days in advance"-rule and they publish the tickets/routes months in advance?

Thanks

PSA: Beware of Kitddm's pricing

Website was set to Euros (€), but product prices were still displayed in USD.

At checkout it showed "US$38.60", but my card was actually charged £32.05 GBP (which is US$42.29).

This site is really broken.

Are most of the robot vacuums (under $500) with rotating cleaning pads really crap, unless they have a AI feature?

Hi,

I have a Xiaomi Robot Vacuum (v1 / The one built by Roborock) and it can't wipe the floor. Back when I got it there weren't any options on the market and devices would just have a cloth that smeared the dirt around the flat.

Nowadays they look pretty advanced and rotating mops seem to look promising. However, the best and most detailed review website that I found (https://www.smarthomeassistent.de/saugroboter/) seems to score most devices pretty poorly. Whenever the testers wipe the floor by hand after the device is done, the washcloth is very dirty.

Roborock Qrevo Master - Failed Most Tests
Dreame L50s Pro Ultra - Really weak
Roborock Q10 X5+ - Terrible too

Dreame L40s Pro Ultra seems to be the only device that sometimes is on offer at this price point and that gets good scores as it has a "AI" feature that detects dirt and goes over the stain until it's clean.

As that is a feature that I don't really trust on my floor pattern.

I also know the high end devices have rolls instead of rotating pads and they are better.

So, I'm wondering if I should:

  • A) keep ignoring mopping in my price range OR
  • B) are these tests misleading and if I know something is dirty I can just let the robot run over this particular spot multiple times to get a good results anyway?
