Costco! Recently bought Roomba i8 on sale for $560, and this is one smart vac. It empties its own bin, and does a great job of mapping. You can edit the map to give rooms custom names, set up no-go zones to avoid (for example, where it might get tangled up in wires), and create clean zones such as in front of the sink or front door so you can send the vac just to those trouble spots. Add in schedules for where to clean when, and this has been a great vacuum for us. It's a treat to have perfectly clean floors, every day, with no effort from me.

I personally have a Eufy 25C and an Ilife...something... and I love them! I call them my little floor demons as if you have someone over or are just walking around, you can trip over them, or they both come at you in full speed! In all seriousness though, the Eufy 25C is a fantastic vacuum for beginners!

Vacuum Wars prepared me for this.

What a helpful and professional review. Thank you

SO glad I stayed for the end of the video! Well done!

Thanks for the informative reviews, much needed for a first time robo vac buyer

He said "Mr Magu " 😅 one of my fav cartoons as a kid. Glad someone still remembers 👍🏼

I own a Wyze Robot Vac and work super! I'm super happy with it.

The wyze robot vac is by far my favorite robot vacuum that I’ve ever had. And I have owned 8.

It's mentioned in the video that Eufy 25C doesn't have app control but the fact is it does.

The last feature is a bit disturbing. People don’t clean up after their pet?

Thank you for this info... started researching so many "buying guides" are just manufacturers ad's verbatim and no comparisons between any models.

they are basically good for increasing when u do need to bust out the big guns. like it can handle the small buildup of dust so it doesnt get out of hand

Roborock has voice control and supports Google assistant, it also features all the same app features as the more expensive ones. It ALSO has a self emptying dock. Did CNET even bother ?

You really should look at the Wyze robot vacuum

Roborock offers a Self-Emptying Base and a Comba package called the Roborock S7+. It's $950! Would that possibly be better than the Roomba S9+?

Great video

Solid vid, thanks

I use the Eufy 30c and love it. While not as good as a mid or high range robo vac it’s still amazing and I’m surprised how much it picks up at the end of its cleaning cycle. The 30c is an amazing first robo vac 👍

There is also repairability. iRobot takes the win there. Every part is modular so anyone can order a replacement part and keep it rolling for many years unlike the others.

Great video 🙂👍 structured ✅ entertaining ✅ informative ✅

Ok, I have not heard Mr. Magoo reference in years - that made me stop and LOL.

We love our basic Eufy 11S Max. Sure, it's dumb, but it eventually gets every nook and cranny and it's actually fun to watch. It was super easy on the wallet too.

I think two smaller bots with a base station and dust bin would be awesome. These bots are severely limited by their size. Having two smaller guys zipping around into tight spaces would be way more efficient and clean, although expensive.

I’m surprised that there was no mention of the Ecovac Deebot, also the Roborock also offers a self-emptying docking station.

I have the S7+. I was able to purchase the bin the day it came out. I'm no expert but we went from an entry level Roomba (no nav) to the S7. The app is amazing and easy to figure out. The vac is mostly great. Empty bin not so good with pet hair. We have 2 cats. The empty bin has clogged a few times on the cat hair. I would still want it overall though. If they added the object photo avoidance to the S7 it would be perfect. It's close as is.

How would you compare the two higher end vacuums you showed and the Eufy RoboVac X8 Hybrid?

I think this is the best and most in depth video on a robo vac. Thanks so much for ur time and effort, being super clear and honest. 😍 9:12: forget a new phone hahaha

Nice comparison of robot vacuum, i want a robot vacuum with remote control.

They seem cool, but I’ll wait a few years to jump in and buy one.

Great video, I have one more question. What robot vacuum is the best at climbing over small things like room dividers? Because my Eufy gets stuck in the hallway/bedroom section of my house and in the kitchen and can't make it into the living room, because of those little dividers on the floor.

I was wondering is they come out AND vacumm on Monday do they remember and come out on Tues or Wed ???

do you know Arnagar S8？comparing roborock and ecovacs, are they similar?

How do we go from under $200 to over $600? What about the in between?

can you do a video on i home robot vacuum plus mop

Please include the Dreame w10?

I love robot vacuums!

I just bought a brand new Wyze Robot Vac for Black Friday. $230 shipped. It has app control, LiDAR navigation, and removes plenty of the debris from our house. Disappointing this review neglects so many good options in the

There is an 360 s6 renewed for under 100$, this is unbeatable

How does a cheaper one with random navigation make it to my bedrooms and happen to go down the hallway and then turn left? It might just keep bumping back and forth in the living room furniture. Am I missing something?

Nice

anyone know best vacc for uneven tile ie: Mexican tile?? Does it matter type of tile ie: even to uneven tile?

What about the eufy x8??? Just bought one for $450

Don't know how Ecovac didn't make the list - T8+ on sale for $450 at Best Buy

Interesting review, I bought a cheaper model by by roborock with bump detection. I have it run three times per week and the bin needs empty after each sweep, but now it can not finish all of the cleaning with one sweep due to battery. I have had it for three years so for the price back then of $165.00 I'm disappointed in the battery live it has lost.

I have a shark self empty base and it doesn't do very well with cat hair. I also have irobot e5 and it beats the shark every time. I have vacuumed with the shark first to see how it picks up cat hair then I ran the irobot e5 today and the irobot bin was full of cat hair. I also had the eufy and it only lasted a year.

So... you guys go from a budget sub 200$ example to a mid-range 600-700$ one? That is a massive jump in price, I believe that people would also like to see 400$ examples.

The only thing that roborock doesn’t do that the roomba s9 does it sync with the separate mop robot. The roborock has the app and self emptying bin. I’mm top of that it cleans the room way faster. Roborock for the win

11/26 5pm: The Roborock S7 is usually priced at $650 but is currently $455 on Amazon after a $195 coupon. I'm guessing that discount will be gone by the end of the day or Cyber Monday. Does not include the $300 dock that empties the dust bin and cleans the mopping pad. But if you want a vac/mop with a docking station, $750 for now. If you don't want to spend even $450, the Roborock S4 Max gets you all of the features and majority of the power the S7 has without any mopping stuff. Usually listed around $350ish on Amazon, currently $280 with a coupon

Looking to spend under $500 for mopping 2200sqft of luxury vinyl floors with 1 low pile rug. I have no pets but mostly need for spills and crumbs in the kitchen and dining area and regular cleaning throughout. Which lidar based robot with good customer service will MOP the best in my price range? Was looking at roborock S7, s5 max and Ilife w450? Any others to consider? For ex Dreametech? TIA

The biggest complaints I have with my older roombas are (1) they get stuck easily, (2) they get tangled with hair, even though I don't have pets, (3) they don't return to their charging bases reliably. Are these still issues with this latest generation?

You should have mentioned the shark robot vacuums. It has self emptying bin, app navigation, for $450 CDN. I got 2 for less than the price of an irobot.

I feel that the s9+ is slightly better at vacuuming than roborock s7 with pet hair. But I will buy Roborock S7 because it has a vibrating mop to clean up spills. I have no pets that shed, so this will be fine with me. In my personal opinion, Roborock S7 is the best Hybrid Vaccum. There may be other competition.

$1100 and $500? Why is everything so cheap? Oooooooooooooooooh Yeeeeeeeeeaaaaaahh! Dig It!

Do a video on the best private phone and no 1

As a dog owner poop avoiding tech makes a robo vac worth it alone

10:27 LMAO!!

7:03 wont the lasers harm your pets eyes? just wondering since its a color that cant be seen what if it hurts pets eyes overtime?

Can you guys at CNET make a Top 5 Tech Turkeys of 2021?

Deebot and Roborock are the only brands I trust

I’m kind of disappointed that they just made this video and posted it and yet they didn’t mention anything about the Roborock s7 self empty bin. I have tested the iRobot Roomba S9 plus and I have a video of it over on my channel and I did not like it the camera base navigation is definitely lagging behind the laser based navigation on other robots and that dust detection center constantly getting dirty and needing attention is annoying. The only thing roombas have that beats out all other vacuums is that dual brush roll design other than that go get the Roborock S7 plus with the self empty bin it’s incredible I’ve been using it for the last month and it efficiently cleaned my house barely bumps in the things and the mopping feature is great. I have actually stopped using rumbas and I used to swear by them since other models have come out that use lasers and are so much better at navigating they can even work in the dark where the Roomba can’t. I will be doing a video review of the Roborock s7 and self empty bin soon. I love seeing it and I’m still kind of shocked that they overlooked the brand new Roborock s 7+ with the self empty bin

Is this the guy from "You Just bought a, now what?" 😮

Tip: I added a puck light to mine. It's better.

Does anyone like the new Eufy x8?

Not gonna lie mine definitely spread excrement across my kitchen floor one day 😆 I have the Eufy 35c and the only con about it is it repeats cleaning because it doesn’t map out where it’s cleaning but other than that it’s the best vacuum in my house I have a Dyson I have a brand new Bissell stick vacuum and an Electrolux vacuum and I’m telling you that little robot cleans the best !!!!

Where can I buy elbow grease?

What about the Dyson 360 Heurist?

Roborock has all the stuff roomba has for well less than half the cost

I have a Roborock with the "mopping attachment." It doesn't do what I'd call "mopping." It drags a SLIGHTLY damp piece of cloth across the floor. It's not worth the extra bucks.

9:52 The Roborock and others can do all of these

Kitty! You get a like 👍 for that

the slternative is a maid in this segment

Would be nice to have one that can clean up, not just avoid, the poop.

I have found plenty lower cost models that have Z mapping and mapping- so that's not true that they don't offer that.

I cant see many people owning these that live in two storey homes as carting up and down stairs negates the effort saving and the sheer cost and space required for two.

Roborock g10

Roborock S7 scratches hardwood floors pretty badly

I have the roomba so and it is awful. I used the mapping feature 3 days in a row. When it does an actual run, it takes hours and goes over the same floors sometimes 3 times. I do not like it, it's not worth the money!!

You just convinced me none of these are worth it. Total time to clean room with a cordless? Five minutes and it does it better, exactly the way you like it.

how did wer get from buget under 200$ to mid range of 600-700$ lul

Roborock S7+ is the best with bagless auto empty dock for $950 and using Lidar for navigation. Video is poorly prepared and not based on good research

Amore

Will the S9+ avoid poo, too?

Is there any robot vacuums that could avoid liquid mess like a pee puddle??🤔

He jumps right from a $188 vac to a $600+ "midrange". How about $200-$400?

Not one word about privacy lol

10:25 let's shoot the shit. brilliant.

The difference between the low-end and mid-range prices is ridiculous. There are vacuums for $200-$300 and the mid-range should be within this price. $130-$600 is not a reasonable jump.

The best vacuum is the one that is attached to a human. It does a better job and its a good workout.

The worst robovac review ever... Romba s9+ it's so outdated... and don't even bother buying a bumper robovac, it's throwing money to trash

I think these are the best inventions for the modern day Apartment. But I don’t think they are smart enough to do a huge home. Say over 1500 sq ft.

Roborock s7 is definitely not midrange…

Since when is the S7 a mid range vacuum?! Costs as much as the rest, outperforms most, if not all others, has all the bells and whistles, including an app that's probably best in biz and self emptying bin... Y'all need to make it clear what's a sponsored video, and by whom, before putting stuff out here.

Do not play music while you are talking........sigh

so budget friendly options (dumb navigation) 600$ ? Yeah I would say midrange is something like Roborock S5 Max (smart navigation)

Mi Robot is better…..
