Impressive—Are Roombas Making a Comeback?
I originally bought this as a replacement for my Roborock Q5, but I may end up getting another one to replace my six-year-old bump-and-go vacuum.The price is similar to a Eufy bump-and-go model, which was my first robot vacuum, but this one is on another level. With LIDAR and mapping, it feels much more advanced—closer to the performance of my Q5, which I recently gave to my mom. This is my third robot vacuum, and each experience has been completely different.One surprise was the battery life—it couldn’t vacuum my entire house on a single charge, while my Q5 seems to last twice as long. Then again, the Q5 is nearly twice the price, so maybe it's not fair to say the battery is bad. If you're coming from a higher-end vacuum, though, you might feel the difference.One feature I really liked is that it’s available without a mop, which, like many brands, increases the dustbin size. Without the water tank, the extra space is used for a larger bin, making it a great trade-off.I also noticed it climbs over floor transition strips better than my previous vacuums. However, it doesn’t perform as well on carpet, so there’s a bit of a trade-off. Another thoughtful design choice is the side brush—it simply pops off instead of being screwed on. One of my older vacuums had a screw-in side brush that damaged cables, so I appreciate this safer design.Another clever addition is the flap that acts as a backpressure valve—it prevents dust from escaping when you remove the bin for emptying. No more accidental messes on the way to the trash!Some reviews complain about the app, but I think it feels very similar to Roborock's app, which I’m used to. If you’ve set up a Roborock before, you’ll likely find it familiar. The first thing the app asks is the "Name" of your Roomba, and I couldn’t help but smile—it’s such classic American culture to name your robot vacuum something special. One minor gripe: the QR code is on the box instead of the robot, but since setup is a one-time thing, it's not a huge deal.My only real complaint? You can’t change the dustbin while it’s charging because the bin compartment sits right under the charging mechanism.Overall, I’m really happy with my purchase. The quality and performance were exactly what I expected—maybe even better, considering this vacuum costs the same as my first one but comes with advanced features like LIDAR mappingVer másVer menos
