Really thought from the picture that the mother roomba was deploying a swarm of cleaning bots to cover more ground.

What is Roomba doing they’re YEARS behind their competitors, Roborock in specific. And they’ve much better offerings as well. It’s sad to see them fall to this level especially since they were the intial innovators in the space.

Shark is producing some great models now too. The AI Robot model with Lidarr in particular is pretty great.

I disagree. The J7+ is one of the better combo units out there.

Never, I repeat, never let the same machine clean dry and wet stuff. That mother fucker is going to smell like unwanted cheese.

You can take out the cleaning pad and throw it in the laundry, or bath it in the sink

I am not buying them after amazon acquired them. who knows what alternative uses for the cameras they might implement.

edit: my next one is probably going to be a roborock. they seem to handle dry/wet cleaning better as well.

Especially since their models ditched the camera for “structured light” whatever it might mean.

Eh, the new S-whatever doesn’t have a visible light camera on the front anymore?

I had a Xiaomi bot a few years ago that could do this. Seems like Roomba are a bit behind in features.
