Actually its a good test to see how the robot deals with more messy environments, it obviously despite its price tag it cant deal with cords wich only shows why its not worth the money
why dont you just remove the cords from the ground man? Let the robot take care of your obstacles and cleaning. and you care about removing your socks and cables from the ground. Or just put on "No-Go-Zones".
I absolutely love mine. I dont even use my phone anymore. The voice commands work flawless. I love when i say hello rocky and the robot will turn towards me showing its listening. It can clean up old coffee spills like its nothing. The mops are incredible. Its way quieter than my old s7. I cant even hear it when im upstairs. I love the auto unstuck feature, which took me by surprise when i saw it for the first time. It's worth every penny.
I love my Curv, but I have to agree, avoidance isn't the greatest. I bought mine during Amazon prime day, and I've run it every day since for a total of 63hrs/27K feet. It has gotten jammed from a shoelace that my cats like to play with and a charging cord that was plugged in. However, I feel it keeps me mindful to pick up before its scheduled runs. The split roller makes it super easy to untangle the jams, and it's amazing with my very long thick hair, no tangles. The split roller is why I'm keeping it. If it weren't for that feature, I would probably return it for the Qrevo master. I don't have thresholds, but I do have 2 moon chairs that it struggles and sometimes gets stuck on. I did try to set the legs as thresholds to see if that would help, but it didn't, so I set the area where those 2 chairs are as no-go zones. Not ideal, but I'm hoping that one day it'll get a software update that will help. It's so nice to have clean floors everyday and so satisfying to see that dirty water. I do empty and fill the tanks daily because it has a lot of area to clean doing 2 passes and medium wetness. It's super easy since I have it stationed in my laundry room across from the utility sink.
I put a little bit cdl 0.3% (chlordioxid) in tank to keep water fresh an plastic tubes inside clean. It is common for beer units to clean and it changes to oxygene by itself.
Like you, I have waist long hair and gave Deen waiting or one with an anti tangle rollers. Now I'm waiting to see how much the markdown is going to be during the holidays.
Thanks for the detailed and honest review. Stuck-on-cables are notorious but can be avoided which I’ve been doing with my current S7 MaxV. I’ll definitely consider this specially for the human hair and pet fur tangle-free. This caused most of the stuck issue at home. :)
Two things worth noting: - Roborock says objection detection needs to be at least 3mm tall and cables are like 1mm, maybe? - You have to designate in the app where the climbing ledges are and it’ll behave differently than what’s shown here. Maybe in the future it’ll do this automatically.
Hi thanks for the video. Do you recommend this model or the Roborock S8 MaxV Ultra model? I don't have carpets at home, it's just important to me that the floor be very clean and that it also reaches the corners.
You see that’s what I wanna know. I hope he actually answers his question. I can’t stand it when people don’t do that. I’m also curious which one is better for pet waste? Kind of looks like the former is better, but I was hoping he would say something in the video.
This one the curv is design for high pile carpet that's why I spent the extra to buy this one.. the other vacuum says " medium carpet or rough floor but this one the curv is a good of carpet. My floor has double carpet for personal purposes and this thing leave it super but damn it super clean and not a single hair left. I have 4 malamutes dogs... listen.... mala...mutes... there is a huge differences between husky and malamutes and they are in the carpet 67hr per day lol by the time they leave the room it's snowing and I just turn on this vacuum and 10 min later I go back to the room and it's beautiful not even a hair floating in the hair. I measure my dogs hair and it's 37 cm idk in inches since the measure I know is centimeters I raised in Mexico.. hope this helps
Those saying he should pick up the chords - isn't the point of a review to test the features of the product to discover any pitfalls? This thing is advertised to recognize and react to obstacles, so is there no scenario you can think of where a cable is accidentally left hanging from a wall socket or a small object under the bed?
Cool. So don’t buy this vacuum if you leave random unplugged cords on your floor. If that happens to you, you should know that you ARE weird. And yes, normal people do not have random cords laying around the house. Also showcasing the climb function on a rug is very deliberate and deceitful. It obviously cannot get any traction on a soft rug, and the shiny plastic that it has to climb on is an added “bonus”. Nobody has this problem. Nobody will put a hard, long object on its rug. Even if you have carpet floors. You cannot get this extremely fuzzy carpet as floor carpet. It is considerably harder so the vacuum will easily find traction. In summary of what he said: don’t buy a motorcycle because if later on, you have a child, you won’t be able to take the toddler with you riding. 😂
And just because you don't have a home with thresholds doesn't mean millions, yes millions of others do not experience the same issues. It's much more common that you believe.
Well I had a phone charger plugged in the wall which I forgot to take out before leaving home then I came home and the robot had chewed it up. Stuff like this can happen to anyone, the obstacle avoidance can definitely be better, if the object is very small and thin like a cord theres no way it can spot it even with the most expensive model. But what I hate is that in the ads it claims it "WILL" detect cords but it never do.
@ i will give you a tip. Unplug your charger and roll up the cable. Leave it on the bedside table. Not dangling next to your bed. You know, like a normal person. People are out here shaving off 20 seconds from their daily routine to spend more time on……. Social media or what?
Hi, thx for a very good review. 2 question : can it sense when the watertank "ON" the robot is empty ? or will it just keep moping with no water ? what's the best alternativ, if you don't need the auto lift
Yes it knows to go and refill the mop water tank, you can also set the frequency that it goes to clean the mop either by time or by room. Have a look at the QRevo Master, it was the flagship before this , the differences are: the master has a different dual roller design with a blade to cut off tangled hair, the flexi arm brush is slightly different, no lift, suction is 10 000. I personally have 1 model below that the MaxV and its great though i wish i had gotten the master because that blade it uses the cut the hair off would have been nice lol. Here's a tip, add floor cleaner to the clean water tank, my floors have never looked better.
cord comments: his example is important to some of us. it doesnt mean anyones a slob. it means things happen and cords can accidentally fall on the floor while your gone and its good to know what will happen. for example, i rushed out the door and forgot to grab my cable that I meant to take with me. Meanwhile, the cat gets up there and Watts at the cord and knocks it on the floor and here comes Robo rock through its cycle. what will happen?
I totally agree with the review. The entire premise of such a machine that cost a fortune, is that it is going to use AI to detect these objects & ads all over the place saying that they detects chords 100%. so what’s wrong testing with chords?
You didn’t mention one aspect I was hoping you were going to cover. What about pet waste? This seems to be a step backwards from the max Pro ultra. Would you agree with that statement? Please be as in-depth as you can.
It has a difficult time with pet waste depending on the type and size. If you have a great dane, the Qrevo will detect it but for a small cat or mushier consistency, I would be very cautious.
my take on this is itll be perfect for baby gate. where its semi permanent installed with a bottom beam. rather picking up cords is something i need to do anyway so baby dont play with them.
I feel like this is going to be a great vacuum for hard floors & low pile carpets provided you don't keep cords on the floor. I feel like it will either get a firmware update, or a big discount in the near future. Possibly both. Robots in general don't have the weight/suction for a high pile carpet, especially if it's home with multiple pets.
I wanted to wait for soros r10 or slim to come to europe... but seeing how bad roborock is.. maybe I should Just get dreame x40/L40? I really wanted something below 8.5cm height....
Actually i got an update to my qrevo S yesterday. I don't have this AI unit but it works now pretty great....don't have a lot of experience yet, but first impressions are very good.
Same I think there's a sweet spot and this Qrevo Curv may be an example of the law of diminishing returns. The Qrevo S and Pro seem to be great for that.
@worldofz00 Was my thought too. I don't have carpets in my appartment nor live near beach with much sand where i (could perhaps) need this 17000 PA. And i don't have an old building with barriers between the room where i need this climb function. Although i 'am a bit jealous not to have this sideways moveable mob😄 i think you run best by money/value with the model S. Basically same model as the qrevo master. But 400 Euros cheaper. And 600 Euros to curve. Nearly two S pieces for price of one qrevo master. I assume that the batteries eitherway last 5 years....and then it is garbage. No difference between S or curve. And the better modifications of curve do not promise 100% function. Still they eat cables....even better than model S because there is this climb function😄 And climb function to the limit only works perfect, if you don't have a glitchy carpet before....otherwise wheels rotate without effect. Sorry for my english...i am German.
It's because it is still a good product, especialy if you have a lot of hard floors and low pile carpets (like most modern construction). I think the true TLDR is that it's great at mopping and only slightly below totl for vacuuming so it's averages out super highly. The obstical avoidance also doesn't seem to be an issue for everyone
I have low/medium pile carepts, two cats and long hair. The split brush roll on the Curv is what is drawing me to it. Do I hold out for the Qrevo Curv to be released in the UK - or get the Dreame X40 on a Black Friday deal?
I'm in the same boat. The x40 is apparently great for pet hair, or in my case my partners hair 😂. I think I'm going to go with the x40. I really want the curv's lift up feature though.
@@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt it's such a hard choice! the curv is going to be at least £300 more than the x40 on sale right now, but it's that brush roll that's got me so interested and future proofing if I do move somewhere with high thresholds. I'm so undecided 😂
Pick up your cords. A handheld vacuum will have the same problem...this is a non issue IMO. Also, the curve has a sensor that will send it back to mop again if the waste water was determined to be really dirty during cleaning.
I own both. Well I did. Sent the Curv back. First off the station is very ugly and cheap looking shiny white plastic. The biggest drawback was THE CURV COULD NOT MOP CORNERS. The pads are too wide to fit in the corner, but the small mopping pad on my S8 maxv ultra fit right in there and got every crevice.
Great review! I just wish you cover also battery life - according to some EV study, having Li-Ion battery charged in range of 20-60% of its capacity, increases lifespan of a battery approx 100 times. I test it on my iPhone and in 2 years the battery health dropped from 93% (I used it normally during the first year) to 92% 😂 Especially devices sitting on their charger can have destroyed battery in 2-3 years.
Nice "real-world" testing. I've yet to use a robot vacuum that misses all cords and would not set mine up to run when I'm gone on a regular basis. Too many chances for it to get into trouble.
Great video! I'm looking for a robot especially for high pile rugs and hair. I have mostly wooden floors with 5 big high pile rugs lying around. Which one would you recommend? Thank's in advance
I have the same thing. The curve actualy does very well here for maintenence, but if you spill coffee grounds on the rug you will need to grab your normal vacuum
@LtFrankDrebin-f2x yah, for carpets I think it works fairly well. I'd still do a carpet cleaning once a year, but i wouldn't worry pther than spot cleaning
@@eskamobob8662 Main purpose for me is maintenece. I'm absoluteley fine with doing a proper carpet cleaning once a year. So thanks again for your input. I appreciate it.
Bad Object avoidance is a deal breaker. I have seen the reviews for the Eufy Omni S1 Pro are excellent in object avoidance and mopping. The appeal to me for the Curve was the anti hair roller system. I don't see a Eufy Omni review by you. Do you think you will review the Eufy Omni S1 Pro? Thanks!!
Fwiw, the hair roller is probably the best part about it. My partner has 18-24" long natural (4b) hair that is an absalute menace to vacuums normaly, but the curv doesn't care at all and just sucks it up. Only thing that works better is a dyson hardwood head on hard floors, but that obviously doesn't work for carpet. I do agree with this review that the obsitcal avoidance is an issue though. It takes abslute ages to even just figure put where chair legs are and go around them
@@gary3669IFH the narwhal is better at anti-tangle? I know it's obstical avoidance is way better, but the lack of tangle on the cruv is acrualy kind of mind blowing to me. My partners hair gets caught in every vacuum ever except for it
Thank god for this video. I do NOT want to spend $1300 "black friday" sale offer if THIS is what I'm gonna get. I thought Robot vacuums should have handled such common issues in 2024. But looks like it's STILL not a solved issue and not a good investment for a high end model. I'm very surprised to see such 'glowing' reviews of this product. I'm certain if I get a ~$500-600 or even ~$200-300 robot vaccum, the performance will be very comparable.
That's the best product out there. I successfully returned my iRobot 10 and purchased this one about a month ago. A little tangle from cable shouldn't be a subject. I will say I stopped using the app because it keeps resetting.
I don’t know man, it seems like you set it up for failure. Why are there so many cables on the floor? That’s not something most homes have. Also, before we turn on the vacuum we always remove all obstacles from floors. It’s common sense.
Really good review. Such a shame the Dreame X40 doesn't come in white and with the aesthetics of the Qrevo Curv. I will wait until the x40 comes out in white I think after watching this review.
@ Maybe never… but they could fix it if they wanted too. I considered a Dreame L40 as it can leave the mop pads behind for vacuuming BUT they are crazy unreliable so I’m sticking with the Curv. I would prefer the Edge but I can’t buy one in the USA. 🇺🇸
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an AI stress test like this, and it’s ironic because my goddamn floor are white, and the robot doesn’t see any rugs, cables or anything that has the same color. Mine is the S7 MaxV, it’s very annoying, the bot it collecting dust at the moment since I was also unable to buy the Ultra base separately, which was something possible when I first acquired the bot :/
My god, Dude this is the best Vacuum robot i ever had. Just go and clean your house by yourself. I think they should do an IQ test before letting anyone buy vacuum robots.
I have the older S7 MaxV Ultra and I’ve never had issues with cords or obstacles. I was thinking of upgrading to this one for Black Friday but I guess I’ll wait for an update. I didn’t want to get the S8 Max V Ultra because I hear its not that great.
I do not have soft carpets or free cables on the floor, so I should be fine. I would be more interested to see how cat's hair or children's toys are being treated by this device. Any chance for your feedback?
Hi I have a cat too and no issues with cat hair. But children's toys, it will still try to eat flat toys but usually avoids bigger dolls and pushes around medium toys and legos.
You dont really known how use it right? Mopping that have to be done twice, during wash it gonna recognize dirt and will go once more time a after washing himself.
Absolutely ridiculous to buy and return a $1500 product because you cant pick up a few chords or have the sense to know you have high pile carpet. The mentality of people these days..
@carnivaldk959 My dreame l10s ultra uses up the 4.5l clean water tank in two mopping runs of my home. I have it mopping every couple of days. That's about 3 refills a week. So not every 2 weeks for me, but much more often. Not that it's much work but if it's easily avoidable by automation there's no reason to do it. Also, depending on the detergent used, detergent concentration in the water may change over time of you just add it to the water (e.g. more at the bottom, less at the top). Not a big issue but still. And my next vacuum will be connected to water supply and sewage, so again, detergent tank is mandatory.
Dude, you need to baby proof the home. Move the cords off the floor. This isnt a roborock problem. If you yake your upright vacuum over these cords, what will happen?
Gosh as an engineer sometimes it is just so sad to hear people like you continue to demand - we fix one problem - we work so hard to innovate, and then you throw in another 10 complains without much of appreciation. This is so tiring to watch.
Then it shouldnt say it will avoid cords and what not, its not worth its price. It happens you forget a cable or two on the floor and it will be game over, just shows its false advertisement.
I haven't even finished watching the video but seriously dude, pick up your cords. Who leaves that many cords laying around around their house like that. I guess if you're a single guy I could see you being messy, then this robot is not for you. I own the original Q Revo and only have a few issues throughout the week. Because I pick up my cords around the house.
bruh this dude, robot vacuums are there to clean floor not to pick up your cords. True, i get that "if" somehome, your cords magically grow legs and lay on floors, robot should atleast be able to tell the difference between objects or dirt but that isn't totally a robot's fault. It's your.
@@TheFrenchGlow If you know there are robovacs that can AVOID cords and obstacles better at "similar" or LOWER PRICE, then you should have bought that mate. tbh , it's your own responsibility to atleast keep your floors clean of obstacles that may hinder your robovacs performance. Show respect & love for you things and it will last a 100 years, even if it's a dead tree leafs.

why dont you just remove the cords from the ground man? Let the robot take care of your obstacles and cleaning. and you care about removing your socks and cables from the ground. Or just put on "No-Go-Zones".
Hi! Half of these cords were plugged into the wall or hidden. The unit moves some small objects on the ground and finds them. Could happen to anyone.
It’s like putting your wallet in the washing machine and expecting it not to wash it. #pickupyourcords
You really should not have cords lying around anyway… thats not a valid reason.
Anyone who thinks you can avoid having cords lying around doesn't have teenagers.
Agree. Too many excellent vacuums lose points for 'eating' cables or socks. Remove that problem by picking them up and it will perform amazingly.

Why leave cables all over the floor?
There wasn't cables all over. Some were hidden or plugged into the wall

@TheFrenchGlow Which robot vacuum is best for carpets, especially high-pile carpets? I have a lot of them.

- You have to designate in the app where the climbing ledges are and it’ll behave differently than what’s shown here. Maybe in the future it’ll do this automatically.
if you mark the thresholds in your application it will pre-plan the obstacle and even do a running start to get over it.
Weird issue with my Roborock Qrevo Curv-one mop doesn’t lift when going back to wash mop, and it leaves streaks behind. Anyone else noticed this?

Thanks for the honest review! Do you know why some channels are saying it's the best robovac ever?
It's confusing for me.
It's because it is still a good product, especialy if you have a lot of hard floors and low pile carpets (like most modern construction). I think the true TLDR is that it's great at mopping and only slightly below totl for vacuuming so it's averages out super highly. The obstical avoidance also doesn't seem to be an issue for everyone
@@eskamobob8662can’t put it on schedule u have to make sure floor is spotless each time or it will get stuck, better off getting the freo Z
Because they don't leave their cords on their floor.
why do u have cords all over`?
I have low/medium pile carepts, two cats and long hair. The split brush roll on the Curv is what is drawing me to it. Do I hold out for the Qrevo Curv to be released in the UK - or get the Dreame X40 on a Black Friday deal?
I'm in the same boat. The x40 is apparently great for pet hair, or in my case my partners hair 😂. I think I'm going to go with the x40. I really want the curv's lift up feature though.
@@MichaelAnderson-ng6bt it's such a hard choice! the curv is going to be at least £300 more than the x40 on sale right now, but it's that brush roll that's got me so interested and future proofing if I do move somewhere with high thresholds. I'm so undecided 😂
Definitely Qrevo Curve.. I am using it for 2 months. Long hair, pet hair, thresholds.. we have all.. and perfect performance
Get Q Revo master or the S8 Ultra MaxV.
The Q Revo edge let me down. I returned mine.
Pick up your cords. A handheld vacuum will have the same problem...this is a non issue IMO. Also, the curve has a sensor that will send it back to mop again if the waste water was determined to be really dirty during cleaning.
Hi! Cords and other objects like cords like fringe carpets, curtains, bathmats will cause similar failed sessions. I tried it over and over.
I own both. Well I did. Sent the Curv back. First off the station is very ugly and cheap looking shiny white plastic. The biggest drawback was THE CURV COULD NOT MOP CORNERS. The pads are too wide to fit in the corner, but the small mopping pad on my S8 maxv ultra fit right in there and got every crevice.
Would you Recommend the Freo Z Ultra over the Curv?
no
Better object avoidance, but many other problems, so no.
Great review! I just wish you cover also battery life - according to some EV study, having Li-Ion battery charged in range of 20-60% of its capacity, increases lifespan of a battery approx 100 times. I test it on my iPhone and in 2 years the battery health dropped from 93% (I used it normally during the first year) to 92% 😂
Especially devices sitting on their charger can have destroyed battery in 2-3 years.
Does it have any issues with black carpets? My s6 would think they were a ledge
It's better on darker carpets but not for cord avoidance
Nice "real-world" testing. I've yet to use a robot vacuum that misses all cords and would not set mine up to run when I'm gone on a regular basis. Too many chances for it to get into trouble.
If you have a regular upright, you put away your cords. Why would you have cords left out. Maybe in a few years they will figure it out.
Great video! I'm looking for a robot especially for high pile rugs and hair. I have mostly wooden floors with 5 big high pile rugs lying around. Which one would you recommend? Thank's in advance
I have the same thing. The curve actualy does very well here for maintenence, but if you spill coffee grounds on the rug you will need to grab your normal vacuum
@eskamobob8662 thanks for your response. That would be fine with me, so i will probably go for the qrevo curv.
@LtFrankDrebin-f2x yah, for carpets I think it works fairly well. I'd still do a carpet cleaning once a year, but i wouldn't worry pther than spot cleaning
@@eskamobob8662 Main purpose for me is maintenece. I'm absoluteley fine with doing a proper carpet cleaning once a year. So thanks again for your input. I appreciate it.
I heard the x10 raises mop up to 12mm which is pretty high vs all other vacuums
What is wrong with you, cable man? 😂😂😂
Bad Object avoidance is a deal breaker. I have seen the reviews for the Eufy Omni S1 Pro are excellent in object avoidance and mopping. The appeal to me for the Curve was the anti hair roller system. I don't see a Eufy Omni review by you. Do you think you will review the Eufy Omni S1 Pro? Thanks!!
Fwiw, the hair roller is probably the best part about it. My partner has 18-24" long natural (4b) hair that is an absalute menace to vacuums normaly, but the curv doesn't care at all and just sucks it up. Only thing that works better is a dyson hardwood head on hard floors, but that obviously doesn't work for carpet.
I do agree with this review that the obsitcal avoidance is an issue though. It takes abslute ages to even just figure put where chair legs are and go around them
If those are your prios, take a look at the Narwal Freo Z Ultra, it has maybe the best anti tangle and also possibly the best obstacle avoidance
@@gary3669IFH the narwhal is better at anti-tangle? I know it's obstical avoidance is way better, but the lack of tangle on the cruv is acrualy kind of mind blowing to me. My partners hair gets caught in every vacuum ever except for it
Dreamed had a brush with knives that silvers the problem completely
Narwal Freo Z Ultra vs Eufy S1 Pro vs upcoming Roborock G20S Ultra? @@gary3669IFH
Thank god for this video. I do NOT want to spend $1300 "black friday" sale offer if THIS is what I'm gonna get.
I thought Robot vacuums should have handled such common issues in 2024. But looks like it's STILL not a solved issue and not a good investment for a high end model. I'm very surprised to see such 'glowing' reviews of this product.
I'm certain if I get a ~$500-600 or even ~$200-300 robot vaccum, the performance will be very comparable.
Its not, there are nothing up to 15000Pa in that budget.
That's the best product out there. I successfully returned my iRobot 10 and purchased this one about a month ago. A little tangle from cable shouldn't be a subject. I will say I stopped using the app because it keeps resetting.
I don’t know man, it seems like you set it up for failure. Why are there so many cables on the floor? That’s not something most homes have. Also, before we turn on the vacuum we always remove all obstacles from floors. It’s common sense.
Thanks very good review
I think you were a little rough with that step-up test, that step up you have is pretty high. For smaller bumps it should work fine.
It's 0.75 inches or 50% lower than what Roborock claims though. 🤷
Really good review. Such a shame the Dreame X40 doesn't come in white and with the aesthetics of the Qrevo Curv. I will wait until the x40 comes out in white I think after watching this review.
the dreame x40 already comes in white. I know because i own one :D
@ oh man … not in Australia 😭
@gmiha watch vacuum wars reviews they do and much better job reviewing and they rate this vac #1 overall.
They could do a software update to fix the things you don't like. It's not a hardware issue.
Do you know when it's coming out? I've been waiting for over a year on the max8v ultra and not sure it will be that easy of a fix.
@ Maybe never… but they could fix it if they wanted too. I considered a Dreame L40 as it can leave the mop pads behind for vacuuming BUT they are crazy unreliable so I’m sticking with the Curv. I would prefer the Edge but I can’t buy one in the USA. 🇺🇸
I don’t think I’ve ever seen an AI stress test like this, and it’s ironic because my goddamn floor are white, and the robot doesn’t see any rugs, cables or anything that has the same color. Mine is the S7 MaxV, it’s very annoying, the bot it collecting dust at the moment since I was also unable to buy the Ultra base separately, which was something possible when I first acquired the bot :/
I think a lot of the issues you found can be corrected with a software update. Test it again in 3 months..
I have heard that one before but I am not sure it's a software update will work.
My god, Dude this is the best Vacuum robot i ever had. Just go and clean your house by yourself.
I think they should do an IQ test before letting anyone buy vacuum robots.
I have the older S7 MaxV Ultra and I’ve never had issues with cords or obstacles. I was thinking of upgrading to this one for Black Friday but I guess I’ll wait for an update. I didn’t want to get the S8 Max V Ultra because I hear its not that great.
If it's still working great, why change it?
@ because I have a floor mirror and it always tries to add a room and I have to keep using the map backup.
@@zibbyzib this issue will remain with the new one. you still have to add an invisible wall at the mirror
I also got the s7 maxv ultra and it gets caught on my cords all the time…you probably just don’t leave yours layin on the floor like some of us lol
My l40 ultra never has “jams” lol.
I do not have soft carpets or free cables on the floor, so I should be fine. I would be more interested to see how cat's hair or children's toys are being treated by this device. Any chance for your feedback?
Hi I have a cat too and no issues with cat hair. But children's toys, it will still try to eat flat toys but usually avoids bigger dolls and pushes around medium toys and legos.
You dont really known how use it right? Mopping that have to be done twice, during wash it gonna recognize dirt and will go once more time a after washing himself.
Wouldn't that take 3-4 hours?
Great and thorough review. Thank you.
Idk, my Roomba avoids cords like the plague. No pick up required.
My Roomba failed 9 out 10 times. Discovering for hours until the battery is drained after 2 weeks I had to ship that bad boy back.
Sounds like you were tying your best to make it fail. Pick up your cables!?
Also my fringe rug, bathmat, and it pulled the cords out of the socket. It doesn't have to be a cable. It can be a power strip.
Which one do you recommend, roborock Qrevo curve or roborock s8 Maxv Ultra, same price, спасибо!
Absolutely ridiculous to buy and return a $1500 product because you cant pick up a few chords or have the sense to know you have high pile carpet.
The mentality of people these days..
Thx
The base has no detergent tank? On a top vacuum? I'm staying with dreame
just add detergent to watertank, once a every 2 weeks when changing the water, easy peasy :)
@carnivaldk959 My dreame l10s ultra uses up the 4.5l clean water tank in two mopping runs of my home. I have it mopping every couple of days. That's about 3 refills a week. So not every 2 weeks for me, but much more often. Not that it's much work but if it's easily avoidable by automation there's no reason to do it.
Also, depending on the detergent used, detergent concentration in the water may change over time of you just add it to the water (e.g. more at the bottom, less at the top). Not a big issue but still.
And my next vacuum will be connected to water supply and sewage, so again, detergent tank is mandatory.
High “pile” carpet. Not high “pill” carpet.
It’s PILE. Like a pile of dirt. Or a pile of rocks. Think ‘Pie’.
PEASE test the Dreame L40.
Dude, you need to baby proof the home. Move the cords off the floor. This isnt a roborock problem. If you yake your upright vacuum over these cords, what will happen?
Robot still running them over like no tomorrow and you still think its worth its price? For that price it should be able to cook for you
Do people even use cables anymore?
What are we supposed to use?
When i vacuum conventionally, i pick the cords up... Christ this video is daft
so when you use your $1400 robovac, you pick up the cords too?
Mate every robot will stop of it eats a cord.
Dumb review, just pick up loose objects and cords. Are you that lazy? Dang
its not rosie the maid you have to pick up your crap first
Actually they’ve made a robot to do that 😂
Why do you keep throwing random cords on the floor....? It's not the robot's problem you're a hot mess.
The cords were put there since the beginning of any session. And the other cords were just there or attached to the wall
You look like an Asian version of Luka Magnotta.
Gosh as an engineer sometimes it is just so sad to hear people like you continue to demand - we fix one problem - we work so hard to innovate, and then you throw in another 10 complains without much of appreciation. This is so tiring to watch.
Then it shouldnt say it will avoid cords and what not, its not worth its price. It happens you forget a cable or two on the floor and it will be game over, just shows its false advertisement.
I haven't even finished watching the video but seriously dude, pick up your cords. Who leaves that many cords laying around around their house like that. I guess if you're a single guy I could see you being messy, then this robot is not for you. I own the original Q Revo and only have a few issues throughout the week. Because I pick up my cords around the house.
A lot of sh!t talking about this robo vac. So what's better?
bruh this dude, robot vacuums are there to clean floor not to pick up your cords. True, i get that "if" somehome, your cords magically grow legs and lay on floors, robot should atleast be able to tell the difference between objects or dirt but that isn't totally a robot's fault. It's your.
What about a power strip? There are robovacs that can AVOID cords and obstacles better at similar or lower price.
@@TheFrenchGlow If you know there are robovacs that can AVOID cords and obstacles better at "similar" or LOWER PRICE, then you should have bought that mate.
tbh , it's your own responsibility to atleast keep your floors clean of obstacles that may hinder your robovacs performance. Show respect & love for you things and it will last a 100 years, even if it's a dead tree leafs.
