So, anyone got an iRobot Roomba or other robot vacuum cleaner?

Awesome. I might just dive into that one. 3yr warranty seems decent too, although they sell through Amazon which always makes support easy :D

We're pretty much 99% tile with only some fairly low pile rugs so shouldn't have any issues there. Hopefully navigation is as good as you say. Our Eufy really struggles. I drew a no go area and it just drives into it and then throws up an error because it can't cross the virtual boundary to get back out!

No longer getting a full clean out of a charge on my Roomba J7 - anyone replaced the factory 1,800mah battery with a cheap non-branded "4,000mah" pack which will almost definitely not be 4,000mah?


The huge price disparity between them makes me tempted to try the knock off!

@Demon i played the masterful stroke of taking the wife to see the smaller L10 in a local shop. She commented the base wasn't that bad, then the L40 arrived today and is huge!

A shame the X40 Master isn't a little cheaper. The idea of plumbing it in would be awesome and the smaller base was nice. I also considered the Narwal Freo Z, but it was an extra €100 and i already felt €850 was a bit excessive as it is. As you say, over 3 years it's under €1/day and hopefully it proves worthwhile.

:) - Yeah, the 40 series tanks are huge, but on the plus side, you don't need to change so often.

However, I thought you could get water hook up kits for most of them, i.e. this list the L40 Ultra as compatible:

Has anyone got the Roborock Saros 10?

I’m waiting for the 10R to be available in the UK (or dare I say the Z70?!!), but there’s no indication of timeframe for the 10R as far as I can tell?
 
Do people actually find the mops on these units useful? How often do the mop heads needs replacement or at least manual washing etc?

We’ve had the Braava Jet M6 for a few years and it basically squirts the solution on the floor then drags a mop head over the area squirted. It’s very poor as there’s very little agitation to surface dirt - but serves as a good quick freshen up.

The Roomba j9+ vac we have is similar - good for a quick freshen up but poor for a deep clean.

Yeh, makes me think I'd prefer to get one without all the mopping paraphernalia.

Yes, ours Mops our downstairs (mainly hard flooring) frequently and as it cleans/dries the mop pads itself, despite having bought a load of spares, it's still on the first set, to which I can just remove and throw in the washing machine at any time, but its pretty good at keeping them clean itself.

Ours can also remove its mop pads automatically and leave them in the base, so you can set how it deals with the mop pads if doing mixed duty, i.e. you can get it to always remove pads before vacuuming if thats what you prefer.

Essentially if you pay more, you get more useful features, and so far, I can't fault the mopping once I've set it up as I need it.. so intense clean twice a week and light quick vacuum/mop in one hit the rest of the time..

Even the mop solution (auto fills/empties from the base station) is lasting ages..
