The mop function on my is not perfect, but setting it to go around and mop twice everything twice does a better job than I would. As gadgets go, it's one of my favourites.

I'm sorry but Dyson should stop being a one-trick pony. The most important part of a robovac is smarts, not I-can-suck-the-vinyl-right-off-the-floor power.

In today's installment of the Anthropomorphic Adventures of the Robot Vacuum, I returned home to discover the vacuum got out of its Escape Room. That barrier worked last time! ... I think it might be learning ...

My vacuums in random patterns. Unless there's somewhere I don't want it to be.

Brushing my teeth in the bathroom sink? It's running into my feet.

Doing dishes in the kitchen? Hello achilles tendon.

eating dinner? Gotta shield the feasting felines from an incoming Roomba.

Exposed wires somewhere? It'll find 'em and get caught.

The audacity of this thing is seriously impressive.

2.0: stalled after it lost a tussle (and a brush) to the broom.

New review (and video, take your pick) from me, with the Dreame W10 Robot Vacuum Cleaner and Mop being put through its paces.

(Special bonus guest stars, but you'll have to watch the whole video to spot them!)

My Robo Vacuum just attacked the broom....

And that feels like some sort of metaphor.

Well it finally happened. The Floof had a rogue turd land outside the litter box and our managed to track it all over the basement.
I spent 2 hours cleaning the basement, taking apart the robovac & cleaning it, changing all my clothes and showering, and the house still smells like poop. πŸ˜’

With all of the recent cloud platform compromises, this might be helpful for some. I'd rather not have my robovac talking to servers in China.

100 mins or so later, it is done and the container is full. Impressive, considering I vacuumed on the weekend and ran the old one yesterday. Wow, what a machine. Well worth the money.

Over an hour later and it's still doing the initial mapping and cleaning. And so thorough! It's figured out its way around furniture, doorways, the litter tray, under the oven, even sees the gap between the trough, washing maching and dryer. Such a clever machine. You can program it to go do automatic cleans at certain times of the day. It doesn't have issues getting on and off rugs or into the stairwell without falling down the stairs. Bigger wheels and clearance compared to my other model.

Whomever invented these is a genius.

Housework

I got a Deebot robovac a few years ago and discovered what a brilliant invention these things are. So good at cleaning up dust, dirt and pet hair. It was a base model so it would thump into stuff and get stuck at times.

Last week I eyeballed the Ecovacs Australia ebay site because they have sales on from time to time, and realised their mapping robovac was on sale for an insane $399 (free postage) down from $999. Seriously, $600 off! So I ordered one.

It came in the mail yesterday!

Now I am watching my new precious carefully map my place using LIDAR (!) and then carefully sweep the floor everywhere. It's amazing! So quiet, so clever. God I love these things, I barely ever vacuum because they do such a good job.

If you have pets, get one. You will thank me later.

And I think the sale is still on.

This one loves shedding fur. Save your sanity!. And save some money.

@ralvrwuff I would have to find it when I go home next week, but I'll try to remember!! for my own searching later since I have fulltext on this instance. X3 But once I find out will say! I THINK it's an iRobot Roomba model. Mine's just a basic Eufy robovac. But I DID finally free it from Tuya's servers by studying the data points and building a custom firmware for it x3

My kids have decided the is actually a robotic goat: it eats everything, but it especially finds and eats what you don't want it to eat (lost cables). Also it makes funny noises and doesn't always make sense. It bumps into feet instead of head butting, but I think they're right.

That DOES sound like the goats on the farm I grew up on!

TIL robovac can find lost cables (and will try to eat them of course), and it amuses teenage boys. They ran around it and laughed at its random antics. (This was more fun than sweeping under the dining table after they ate dinner. I understand that, and the floor was cleaned, so win all around.)

In this installment of the Anthropomorphic Adventures of the Robot Vacuum, the vacuum believes the barricade I put up to keep it in the kitchen makes for a great escape room activity. It's really good at escaping.

In other news, while emptying its dust bin, I discovered a small ziplock of rubber feet. I was looking for rubber feet yesterday evening! (I had some in with electronic parts, so I wasn't waiting for these to appear magically. Or dustily.) It eats anything!

In today's installment of the Anthropomorphic Adventures of the Robot Vacuum, the vacuum is climbing up the threshold and banging into the screen door to escape the house. "Let me out!" (thunk) "Let me out!!" (thunk) "Let me out!!!" (thunk)

I probably should have vacuumed sooner?
