You should ensure you get one with mapping and depending on the size your place, resume and charging feature. The lower priced one's do random cleaning so you don't get full coverage and when the battery drains, it may clean areas it already did, etc. With my Roomba i7, I have all the rooms mapped out and each day of the week, different rooms get cleaned per schedule, etc. And after dinner, etc I can just tell Google to clean the kitchen and Google home sends the Roomba to vacuum the kitchen, etc.Arias1619 wrote: ↑ I’m in the market for a robot vacuum.

For the experts on this matter, can you please share whether you would still get the Roomba at this price Or a different brand. I need something that can map and has a decent battery life.
Thank you in advance.
$649 at Costco. Is the extra $50 worth it for their warranty?blisterd_nuts wrote: ↑ Too bad Costco doesnt match. Really want their warranty for these types of products.
I've been looking for quite a while. Mixed reviews on the lower end models and the ones that costco has had for <$500. Stumbled upon this Xiaomi option over at ******** but the girlfriend wanted to buy from a more "reputable" seller so I hit up this deal instead.Arias1619 wrote: ↑ I’m in the market for a robot vacuum.

Hey dude, can you confirm if it bumps into baseboard and make marks all over??dgcan75 wrote: ↑ You should ensure you get one with mapping and depending on the size your place, resume and charging feature.

What's the return timeframe again?blisterd_nuts wrote: ↑ Yup. Confirming with the wife regarding the purchase. Knowing that you can return the product anytime is well worth the extra $50.

Yes it bumps into baseboard because it uses cameras instead of lidar, although it go fast enough to damage your baseboards and it works better during the day. If you're looking for one that is a little more courteous to your furniture (but may still bump) look at the Neato Botvac models.
I have an older Roomba and it's not that great. I regret not waiting for 3D mapping. And like someone else mentions it bumps into everything. For some reason it has black that comes off on my baseboards which is wonderful.Arias1619 wrote: ↑ I’m in the market for a robot vacuum.
