r/RobotVacuums

Hi everyone first post, sorry if already discussed anywhere.

There is an offer on Amazon for the roborock Qrevo Edge 2 at £549.99 should I cancel my Eufy OmniC28 order and spend the £120 more for the Edge 2?

Environment is a mixture of kitchen hard floor and carpeted.

Thanks

There are hardly any posts or recommendations. In recently got it during prime day and was wondering why that’s the case.

Are Dreame vacuum cleaners durable? I see a lot of issues mentioned—and how do they compare to Roborock?
Thank you in advance for your reply!

Looking for automatic vacuums that are safe for lvp flooring if possible under $200-$250. I’ve heard some of the brush rollers can cause scratches so I’m not sure what brands are safe. I don’t need a mop combo so it can be basic but needs to be able to handle pet hair/cat litter. Thank you!

I live in a 1-bedroom apartment with 2 shorthaired cats. I suffer from allergies. I’m looking for a robot vacuum for dust, pet hair, pet dander and other allergens on hardwood and tile floors.

The robot vacuum must have anti-tangle rubber brushes, HEPA filtration (or equivalent), and strong suction. It would be nice if it features a bagged auto-empty dock to reduce allergen exposure and a mop but it’s not necessary. Any recommendations? My budget is under $700 CAD but I plan to purchase it on sale.

Love my Xiaomi vacuum but I'm struggling with the 10 No-go zone limit. Would be better suited with 50+ no go zones give wires, curtains, rugs, etc.

I’m brand new to all of these robot vacuum stuff. Right now i’m looking to buy my first and I rather spend more once then upgrading later. Which I need help with finding the right one from you guys recommendation

My home:

- 2 beds, 1 bath

- All hardwood/ wood floor

- No pets

- Lots of furniture with tight spaces and chair legs

- Dust and woman’s hair is a bigger issue

The models I have been looking at are:

- Qrevo Pro

- Qrevo CurvX

- Qrevo S5V

- Or any models that you think would actually do a good job

My priorities are:

1. Great obstacle avoidance and navigation around tight spaces.

2. Strong vacuuming and mopping performance.

3. Reliable dock with minimal maintenance.

4. Good long-term value (I want something that’ll last several years if possible)

If you’ve owned any of these, what would you recommend and why? Would you buy the same one again today?

I’m looking for a robot vacuum and mop combo for my living room and kitchen (both wood floors with small rugs.) I don’t have pets or anything so I don’t care about that. I’ve been looking through this Reddit but I feel like I’m getting contradictory advice! What I’m looking for:
- low maintenance
- has a good reputation with little maintenance issues
- easy to repair or good warranty if something happens
- good navigation around furniture and carpets
- in general just not a headache
- 400-600 range can be a little over or under
Thanks! Any advice or experience appreciated!
Some I’ve been considering:
Roborock Q7 M5+
Eufy Omni C28
Dreame L40? Idk if I should get ultra or gen 2 or what

Is 8000 pa low for a vacuum does it get into corners as well? over all how good is it ive found a good price.

Basically what the title says. I need a robot vacuum that IS CHEAP to vacuum and mop my bathroom floor. I recently got a SAROS 10R for the apartment and love it. It made my life easier . However I am a bit of a germaphobe and dont want the same vacuum going over my carpets and the bathroom floor. Any ideas for a vacuums that is cheap but effective for a very small space. If not robot that otherwise (all recommendations welcome)

I'm in the US and I've been through 4 robot vacs so far. I'd say each purchase was carefully considered, but some paid off, some not so much.

My first, I got the Roborock S6 MaxV. It got stuck a lot and ate dog shit twice, but overall it did the job and I kept it for over two years. Then I got the Narwal Freo, I kept it for about two years too. The mopping performance was impressive, while it was junk for my carpet. After that, Dreame L30 Ultra, it was the most expensive one I ever bought, and also the biggest regret. It was really bad in cleaning. I thought I got a lemon and their support process was a nightmare. Currently I've got the Narwal Flow, I resold my Dreame after a few months. I'd say it wins me over, it’s fast and does a great job, the navigation and features are truly superior in almost every way in my experience.

That's all, would love to hear yours, come on

Ages ago when robots were a luxury I bought a eufy 30c, We didn’t know any better so I was happy with it… then I got an eufy ommi c20 a few years back because I was happy with my old dumm robot… (btw, the 30c still works and lives trapped in my bedroom and bangs into everything but I have feelings for it)

Long story short the c20 started acting weird it got lost all the time and gave me weird errors and after support didn’t help Amazon decided to refund me, so I started researching… this was 3 months ago.

I have this annoying dinner chairs (u shaped metallic leg) that even setting as no-go zones the eufy will still manage to get trapped… after hard research the best option for me was the Ecovacs t90 pro… honestly even tho the app is a little off and it acts a bit weird it was pretty good…. Until last week when it just decided to die…. Literally won’t clean anymore… I tried every reset possibly now and nothing worked so Again an Amazon came along and saved me….

So now my question… I’m leaning towards the Dreame l40s ultra AE for £400… is Dreame a good brand ? That model apparently has the enough navigation to be asble to handle my chairs… I don’t require anything else, my house small, and the only place with carpet is were my old 30c is trapped at…. I have seen good things about the Roborock edge 2 but it costs £650… is the Roborock brand so much better that is worth £250 more?

Please don’t suggest any mova they don’t sell them In the UK and if they do they cost over £1000 for an old model… thank you so much ❤️ if you have any good or bad experiences with those brands I can’t wait to hear them

I am curious about the bag of my xiaomi x 20 pro. Can i reuse the bag of it by emptying the bag from the omni station and then putting it back in the station??? Thx

Looking for a new replacement for my J7+. I’d like something with great mopping, obstacle avoidance, and good for pet hair. No carpet in the home.

Seems to be tons of robots out there and idk where to start. Seems like plenty recommend the narwal flow 2, but i can’t help but wonder if those are company generated lol. Even vacuum wars make me wonder sometimes.

What y’all got?!

I bought the Mova V50 from Amazon right as I was moving, so it sat unopened for a while before I got around to setting it up. By the time I did, I was outside the 30-day return window.

At first I couldn't get it to charge, but it turned out the base just wasn't powered on. I followed the quick start guide, but the print is microscopic and I missed the part about toggling the on/off switch on the back of the unit. It blends in and is easy to miss if you're not specifically looking for it. Once I found that, the charging issue was solved.

The first clean seemed to go great. It picked up all the dust and dirt and did a solid job mopping. That was also the last time the robot has worked for me.

Now the robot itself will not turn on at all. The base is functioning fine. I've done a factory reset, unplugged it and let it sit, then plugged it back in and left it on the dock for 48 hours, and the robot is still dead. I've cleaned all the charging contacts and made sure it's seated securely in the base, but nothing has changed.

I've been working with support, sending photos and videos as requested, and they've determined it needs repair. When they told me this, I asked if they would replace the unit instead, since it was brand new and had only been used once. They completely ignored that question and just sent me all the instructions for packing it up and shipping it back, along with a return shipping label. Not exactly a great look. On top of that, the box is bulky and heavy, and I'm genuinely concerned it won't even fit in my car. Having UPS pick the package up from my home wasn't offered as an option either.

This is where my frustration comes in. This is a brand new unit that I got exactly one cleaning session out of, and I don't think repair is the proper solution here. A replacement is what should have been offered from the start. Support has been communicative throughout, but the actual resolution has been terrible.

To make matters worse, I paid over $700 for this thing, and I deeply regret the purchase. Before this I had a Roborock S4 that worked wonderfully since March 2020. I only "upgraded" because I wanted a mopping feature, and the Mova V50 seemed to have solid reviews. Unfortunately, it looks like I ended up with a lemon. And to top it off, I already donated my Roborock S4 to a coworker, so I don't even have that to fall back on now.

My use case: single floor, mix of hardwood and medium carpet. Dog and cat, lots of pet hair. I'm coming from a roborock s5 which did great with navigation but the roller was always very stuck with pet hair.

Based on reviews, I got the Ecovac T90 pro and had it for a few weeks. I was impressed with the tangle avoidance (roller is clean still) but three issues:

1. Navigation is pretty inefficient, and it got stuck in a lot of places my old vacuum didn't (like under chairs, where backing up seemed like it would have worked) so I had to set up a lot of no-go zones it get it through a session without getting stuck.

2. Pet hair would often not get cleared out of dustbin by docking station (even with frequent-emptying at max power turned on) - it was so jammed in the exit chute it plugged up the whole works several times. Kind of ruins the convenience of a self-emptying dock if I have to keep going in to manually clear the on-board dustbin. And no warnings that this was occurring.

3. Side brush broke off along with the motor mount so not an easy replacement.

Any recommendations for a nearly-same-price alternative?
