What kind of vacuum did you upgrade to, if I may ask? I am in need of a good robot servant.
Absolutely. I went from a Roborock S4 to a Roborock S4 Pro Ultra.
I was super satisfied with the S4 already, it’s a few years old by now, but was performing really well. The only problem being the frequent maintenance due to the dog. If I didn’t have pets it probably would’ve been better.
Roborock has solid vacuums, and sells replacement parts so you can repair them should something break. I ran my S4 almost daily for 4 years though and nothing ever did.
The Roborocks all map out the house with LiDAR, and cleans intelligently, even the cheapest ones, unlike some other brands (like Roomba) that just ping-pong about randomly.
The mopping feature is also shockingly effective.
The dock is the big star though. It handles cleaning and drying the mop, emptying the dustbin in the robot, and emptying/refilling the mop water.
My maintenance basically consists of emptying and rinsing out the dirty water, usually once or twice a week. Along that I refill the clean water. I have it mop a lot because I’m pedantic.
Every two weeks I also clean out the water filter, and flip the robot to remove what few hairs have stuck in the brushes.
Every two months I also empty the dust bag.
None of the maintenance tasks alone take more than a couple of minutes. It’s such a small price to pay for clean floors.
Sounds like heaven. Do you find that you ever have to do any manual cleaning on top?
There are places it doesn't reach. My sofa is pretty low for example, and it obviously doesn't reach up on tables or baseboards to dust, but I've only done some light vacuuming once since I got it. Specifically to clean down baseboards and get behind the sofa and the TV stand. With the S4 I usually just used a dry mop to do some light sweeping in the areas it didn't reach. Basically a 5-10 minute effort every so often.
