What's the difference between clobot and proscenic.

The clobot looks like has a bigger water 600ml tank. Meaning less changing required. Other companies are like below 250ml.

suzuka robot cleaner

i bought suzuka few weeks ago, so far so good for that price. collect a lot of dust only in my room.
it can detect wall quite good, but can not detect other than wall, like chair leg or bed frame so it keeps banging, im not sure long this the machine can last if keep banging like that, so big banging but still i scare cant last long.

and I dont know how to set cleaning timer, seems like it keep go on and on cleaning nonstop, usually i just on for 10-15mins as i clean my room only, so its hard for me to set cleaning schedule when im not at home. it prolly keep going until battery flat. any one can advise on this problem?

After using the Xiaomi Mi Robot for 2 weeks, I conclude it works well. I have not used any other bots prior to it to draw a comparison, but based on my observation over 2 weeks,

1) It is effective in vacuuming up the dust and dirt.
2) Sensors on the bot are effective in avoiding obstacles and bumping into objects. If it does bump into an object, it will back off a bit before trying to turn away from it to avoid scratching anything.
3) At 64 decibels, its not that loud to me.
4) App allows you to remotely activate the bot in the office or on the go. You can monitor in case the bot do get stuck somewhere, you can also remotely stop the cleaning.
5) Works well on carpets and do not get stuck on it as long as its not the hairy/ furry type.
6) Best of all, it cost me about 350 bucks from Qoo10 with 3 months warranty.

does it vaccum human hair? i understand there is a brush below.. will all hair gets wind into it?

after using the qoo10 proscenic suzuka robot for 5 days , I think it's very good for the price around ~$140 after coupon + 500 qoopoint + 2% giftcard discount

only using the vacuum function as I see many users have problem with the wet-mop function
first thing I did was swap out the roller brush with the vacuum-only attachment then let it charge overnight 12+ hours

it bump into chair leg or black object
now temporarily using cardboard to block delicate stuff like flower vase or piano

some minimal babysitting effort is needed , like it clean 1 area too much (10+minute) then I use feet to guide it towards new area
first 2 days collected lots of dust (from under bed) , then it gets less , daily wash the dust box and filter for best efficiency , the HEPA filter only need to wash once 15-30 days

looking at the instruction booklet I appreciate how much technology is stuffed inside for ~$100 ...
all the wheels and brush got sensor ... if it get stuck it will have different error code instead of a universal error ... so far only get stuck on floor rug outside toilet
robot voice prompt is good

using phone camera can see it have many infrared beam "eyes" at the front bumper ... it doesn't work that well against black or small 2 inch chair leg
I didn't use it until battery low for it to auto-go-home , when use button press it can find the charging station as long got direct line-of-sight

I'd go for Roomba. It's got the high-end models but the none high-end is already enough, it does almost similar suction anyway. Though I read here their batteries can become a problem over time. Hopefully, it won't. I just find it a bit loud, too noisy.

Anyone bought Europace ERV 3031T?

Does it suck up long hairs or get entangled with the brush?

Anyone can recommend a good mopping only robot? Seems like only have braava range - currently leaning towards the 380t for long battery life. Any bros have feedback on this model or any other to recommend?

To be honest, I would just recommend that you get a vacuum cum mopping bot. I don't see any advantage of a mopping only bot since both types are just dragging the wet cloth with some drip system to mop the floor.

Hey guys! I have got my proscenic Suzuka for like a month, it’s excellent, we love it! But recently I notice that the mop cloth is not absorbing water from the tank, I tried to wash it but it’s still the same. Any idea?

I bought colbot at $99 from qoo10 during their sales. All good but it seems to sweep the living rm only and always need to guide it to the bedrooms.

How can the cloth not absorb water? Instead, I think you should check the tank to see if it is dripping water.

You should consider those that are laser guided, i.e. using LIDAR. They are pricier, but they really behave very differently from those without. Cleaning is generally more organized and less chance of missed cleaning.

In your case, consider moving the dock somewhere in the center of your house and see if it works.

I already have a vacuum bot. Looking at braava jet it sprays water and have a vibrating mop so that is definitely more helpful then dragging a cloth around?

I feel having to deploy the mopping bot after the vacuum bot is not convenient. The idea is to start the vacuum bot and leave the house so everything is done by the time you come back. With a separate mopping bot means you have a second step to take.

The vibrating mop will help somewhat to remove stains, but surely not stubborn stains which should not be much and easily remove with some arm power. This mopping bot essentially is also dragging the dirty cloth around the entire house.

Just my 2 cents on a separate bot, but ultimately the decision is yours to take. ;)
