I have an older model from 4 years ago still going strong running on a daily program. It was a game changer keeping the household clean.
Had to replace a couple of bits, easily sourced from Ali. Also took it apart and blew the dust out. Made it work like new.
Paid $700-$800 for it back then.
Couldn't resist getting a new improved (hopefully) model for under $250.

  How's the mop?

  • 

    Nzruzzki on 18/11/2025 - 21:05

    Haven't actually used the mop even though we have some polished floors. We run daily vacuum and do a traditional manual mop weekly.
    The vacuum works well even collecting most of the fur from our GSD. And you can definitely tell when it had a run over the carpeted areas.

    It's not great, there is not much pressure on it so it's just lightly dragging a wet cloth over the floor.

  Any recommended deals for self emptying ones?

    Got the qrevo master at PB for 1400 on sale. Been working great for about 2 weeks now.

    The dream x50 ultra is 2300 down from over 3k if you want something more top of the line

  How do these go with kids in the house that leave 'stuff' lying around on the floor like the smallest pieces of Lego, hair clips, hair ties etc?

    Terribly, they either jam the roller brush or make a horrible clattering noise. Shoelaces and cables also get swallowed up and jammed. You really need clear floors before it starts vacuuming.

      Okay - that makes it a lot less attractive!

    LupinS on 19/11/2025 - 14:51

    These are not ideal for places with kids or for anyone who has a tendency to leave things sitting around, couches/tables they can get jammed under, or has a bunch of cords or similar.

    Best case everything will get pushed all over. Worse it will eat your cords/bash stuff into other stuff, and scratch the shit out of your floor when something gets stuck under it.

    Also I've had three (of different brands) over the years - and every one of them has died for pretty much the same reason. The plastic gears that drive the brush melt due to friction/heat. The brush stops spinning. And the entire thing is now useless (cause the brush rolling is actually the most important bit). The first one actually got so hot it started smoking. So a prob 2c gear (you'll never find) in the gearbox trashes the whole thing.

      Thanks Lupin - all makes sense.

      We've never had one, and sounds like we should hold off for a while yet, until we are 'child free'!

    As an alternative perspective, we have a roborock with two small children (2 and 4). They leave stuff around everywhere.

    We're pretty remote from "clean freaks", but like to keep the floors free of clutter by the end of each day to keep on top of the mess (otherwise it can build up).

    Having one of these sort of forces you to keep on top of the little stuff that is on the floors, so I find that a positive more than a negative.

    In our house we do a tidy up, as a family, before bed. Then the kids make a tiny mess during breakfast, which I tidy up and then run the roborock as we leave the house. Then we come home and know at least the clutter is gone and the floors are vacuumed as a bit of a "reset".

      In our experience things that it can't ride over are fine. You don't want anything that it can tangle itself with. We have a dog leaving balls, ropes, frisbees all around the floor and it's mostly fine. But it had tangled itself with the fraying edge of the tag rope, shoe laces etc. Also does not like rolling up onto things and have wheels off the floor.

      Common sense things, really.

  Anything recommendations for a small apartment mainly carpet under $180? Ideally 150

    There is a cheaper model from dreami https://amzn.asia/d/b7dbnCX. Still not quite in your price range.
    You may be losing to much functionality if you go too low. I don't even know how $200 makes any sense. You get lidar mapping, charger and a vacuum. Yes, basic but you get your rooms, scheduling and on demand, stairs detection, invisible walls etc.

• 

  gonka on 19/11/2025 - 06:18

  I have this exact model. For $240 it's a good buy. The mapping is a bit quirky, it has to spend a lot of time figuring out where it is at the start. The battery life is not that great and it charges fairly slowly.

  It will not work at all without an internet connection, if that matters to you. It also doesn't work with Home Assistant yet, although they're working on it.

    That's a bit scary.

    You could put it outside your primary LAN, on a 'spur', so that it can't see anything other than your perimeter router, but still…

    No way I'm allowing that into our home!

      A lot of that type of gear does all its communication via the Internet. I haven't done ANY research on the subject and yes, there are security considerations.
      In my house I have: smart light switches and curtain control, security surveillance, robot vacuum. All Internet connected. All I can control from my phone. If anyone wants to hack into them, be my guest…
      I figure the risk/benefit is justified.

      If I was more paranoid, I wouldjust set up a sub net on my router or would get a completely separate access point for those Internet enabled devices.

        For me, there is a big difference between a smart light switch or curtain control being inside our home, but with no 'sensors' at all, compared to security surveillance (which has, I assume, cameras) which is looking outside our home (as could anyone on the street, or a neighbour). I'm okay with all of that, along with even a thermostat (which is a sensor obviously), but not something with cameras or microphones inside our home that is sending data out to some third party.

        If I was more paranoid, I wouldjust set up a sub net on my router or would get a completely separate access point for those Internet enabled devices.

        In all cases, I would only ever allow them on a network outside of my primary LAN - that's just basic common sense as there is no reasonable expectation that these things would be secure in themselves, and nor would I expect the manufacturer's servers to remain secure - they might, but I think we have to expect them to be breached, and plan accordingly, rather than reacting to it after the fact :-)
