Do you think you could do a review on a stick on ceiling fan purifier? They’ve been going around saying they were the best of the best, on TikTok, which I don’t believe. Their brand is called barnakl.

[@Rogi_Pogee]

They’ve just been dissing on all the other air purifiers.

[@THEREALTWISTEDINSANE]

Eufy Mach V1 ultra review next ?

[@paulsavala]

Can you do a video on long-term robotic vacuum reliability, perhaps by brand? I bought a Ecovac Deebot a couple years ago, and the reliability was way worse than I expected. I'm wondering if that's brand-specific, or if some brands last longer/are easily repaired? It's hard to drop hundreds or thousands of dollars on a robot that may be broken in two years.

[@mauri1310]

How about spare parts? My i7 failed after 4 years of intense and continued workload. The app promptly troubleshot the issue and redirects me to the iRobot website with the spare part (maybe too promptly? ). Two days and 70€ later, my i7 was back to work. While my Roborock H7's roller brush head is about to fail. As a replacement, I only found a wide variety of slightly different roller brush head models on Aliexpress. Long-term reliability isn't easy to test but customer support and spare parts availability should definitely be a KPI for your ranking.

[@iamdenislara]

I like the new format at the end.

[@VacuumWars]

Thanks for saying so. 💫

[@unboxingmachan312]

Why never tested the Narwel Freo Robot Vaccum????

[@thedandyshorts519]

will you be doing a review for the ecovacs deboot x2 ?

[@garyuppledycktyke9073]

hello vacuum wars can you try scanning the code on the robot and adding it to the i3 and use it i wanna know if it will work

[@centauri0]

Only one problem its still using BAGS!!! Still going with Shark!

[@010falcon]

Hello VacuumWars, I forgot your name sorry. Could you maybe also compare running cost, so things like: - Price of the replacement parts (on a scale of 1 to 10 maybe) - Repairablity (1 to 10) - Power consumption (with a watt meter)

[@Tankiboy_yt]

When are you reviewing the vis nav?

[@VacuumWars]

It’s not available in the US yet so we just don’t know.

[@VacuumWars]

We are finishing our review of the Dyson Vis Nav 360 today! Come back tomorrow at 4PM EST for our full review!

[@florin_prelege2570]

Can you review the Roomba combo i5+ I have one and I wonder if it’s good

[@KhyronElric]

Watch the review of the i3+. The i5+ it’s the i3+ with mopping like in this video.

[@ddhh5]

Do you know of any robot vaccums that open and close doors to enter and leave a room?

[@Joesac]

What? They don’t have arms dude 😂

[@joshuaalvarado8688]

So today it is at $449, would it be a great idea to buy this one?

[@DangTuanAnh388]

the j5 best price is j5 combo $299.99 j5 combo + (self emty) 449.99

[@GEN_ZT]

Im here!

[@gamcan3133]

IRobot became the BlackBerry of this industry.

[@SalZam150]

i1?

[@amac1657]

I have the J7+ and it keeps stopping saying no mopping pad attached when there is. I think it must be an issue with a sensor

[@wetham8667]

Can you do a review on the UBPET V10?

[@VacuumWars]

Can't make any promises but thank you for the suggestion. That helps us.

[@prashank]

Could very well be the last roomba.

[@jingojango1900]

Hang in there little Roomba!!!

[@joelou]

how do you use the drip tray?

[@stolmich]

I'm planning to buy a J5+ combo, as soon, as my bonus arrives.

[@HygienistDentist]

On their P.O.O.P. Promise says they’ll replace your roomba at no cost to you 🙀

[@TheZgraen]

Time to do the Eufy X10!

[@VacuumWars]

We are looking forward to that release!

[@TheZgraen]

@@VacuumWars thought for sure they would have sent you one by now! You're pretty much the go-to for vacuum reviews! I've got it Pre-ordered, so I'm excited to hear your take on it!!

[@VacuumWars]

Our review of the Eufy X10 Pro Omni comes out today at 4 EST.

[@JonathanMiller-fs6ro]

Look I love roombas all I own but man make a green shell or something lol they all look same

[@angelicaevans8356]

I got this last year for Christmas and Im so disappointed with it. It breaks like every week with a random problem

[@ZaphodMindL]

iRobot aren't winning the comment spam war, thats for sure 🤣

[@ReefMimic]

👍🏻

[@joonlee7884]

Bags for the docks should be a con, i get some people like not having to clean the dust bin on the docks but ill rather not spend extra money on bags 💀

[@TheGooseBruce]

Bagless really are a minority sadly, Roborock's 7-series dock with cyclone was a nice change of pace. For filtration and allergies it's usually superior with bags. Seems only Shark has mastered the bagless option with great filtering.

[@Resist4]

When iRobot said the dust bin bag can hold up to 60 days worth of debris, that really means nothing without knowing how many cleanings that is and how dirty the floors get. I hate it when companies say things like that because it's borderline false advertising as it's very misleading. But sadly iRobot will be going out of business soon, unless another company buys them out, hopefully not China.

[@WhereNerdyisCool]

iRobot is awful. I don’t know how your tests keep plugging them. My j7+ can’t handle the cat hair of 3 cats. It all winds up in the Omni wheel. The rollers constantly need to be unraveled since the $700 vacuum can’t do any level of untangling. Your testing methods seem awry to me and I bought the thing based on your glorious reviews. I should have just bought a Dyson upright for all the time I spend dissecting this machine of clogs and jams.

[@Jeffw02]

3 cats is a bit much for the J7. That's more of a J9 or maybe an S9 job.

[@mrbobsevil]

@@Jeffw02 What?? It's an auto empty robot. It doesn't matter if there are 50 cats.

[@Jeffw02]

@@mrbobsevil Since the issue described is that hair is getting stuck around the wheels and rollers, increased suction power can help reduce that.

[@asajohnson7142]

Hi

[@arevee9429]

Wallstreet Journal says iRobot has lost market share because they went the camera route rather than lidar for navigation. I can believe that. In my experience, camera navigation doesn't work as well as lidar.

[@Jeffw02]

Only in the dark. Otherwise, I've found vSLAM works better. Makes cleaner more accurate maps, and doesn't get confounded by glass doors, mirrors, drapes, bed skirts, etc.

[@MandrakeRoomba]

both lidar and vslam have weakness and pros. lidar is more precise and works in the dark, but breaks easily, but vslam can work with mirrors, bed skirts and etc. but it wont work in the dark. they are pretty much at the same level.

[@14chaychay]

These robots are years behind the competition. It’s not even close. Whoever is considering buying a iRobot I urge you to reconsider. This review does NOT cover how old this technology is and how it really is not a good bang for your buck. Even with a deep discount it’s not worth it.

[@Jeffw02]

Couldn't disagree more. I've compared the J9+ with the top other brands, and it's still the best. No other brand has a working solution for mopping with medium-pile carpet (Dreame L20 tried but failed). No other brand can vacuum under curtains and under beds with bedding that goes to the floor. Every other brand gets confused by glass doors and mirrors. And then there's the actual cleaning performance... nothing beats it.

[@ddxxbb1]

True, also iRobot is facing bankruptcy and support may seize to exist.

[@14chaychay]

@@Jeffw02 The company lost almost $300 million dollars last quarter and Amazon backed out of the deal to buy them. Money tells you everything you need to know about how terrible these vacuums are. I appreciate your opinion but unfortunately you are apart of a small small small group who actually like these things.

[@14chaychay]

@@ddxxbb1 exactly!

[@Jeffw02]

@@ddxxbb1 That's quite an overstatement. There is no indication of looming bankruptcy. They actually have a quite a solid plan going forward, shedding ancillary projects with renewed focus on floor care.

[@kevinflubacker6825]

Quite disappointed after a month of use. The time you gain not vacuuming is at the end spent on the maintenance of the robot. Its good for little apartment and little cleaning but with my wife's hair and cats hair + litter on the floor, it's red flag. Long hairs get stuck in every corner of the robot.

[@j.p3701]

iRobot is DONE!

[@Damitsall]

IRobot makes the finest Robot Vaccums.

[@ExclamationMarx]

@@Damitsall If by "Finest" you mean "Least interesting" then yeah

[@14chaychay]

iRobot is years behind the competition. And the fact that this guy still makes videos about iRobot and RECOMMENDS them is insane 😂 It makes me wonder how much iRobot is paying this guy for the review.

[@Jeffw02]

@@14chaychay I've owned all the top brands. Roombas still vacuum carpet better than anything on the market, mop with the best of them (except M6 which actually mops better than anything on the market), and navigation that doesn't go nuts with glass doors, mirrors, and can actually go under bed skirts and curtains. To top it off, lower maintenance... changing out a pad is easier than dumping bins and getting on hands and knees to clean out base station. Performing better with less complexity is called genius, not behind.

[@MandrakeRoomba]

@@14chaychay THAT GUY RECOMMENDED SOMETHING THAT I DONT LIKE!!! MUST BE A PAID REVIEW!! seriously.

[@ybing]

iRobot is really losing the market share badly, if they don't change soon, they might be history... just sad that I really like their stuff, the M6 is still my favor mop, just takes too long to clean :(

[@Damitsall]

These are far better killing machines than the cheapo Roborocks and other unnamed brands. Dont underestimate these Robots, the Robot Vacuum Industrial Complex wants you to think these have nothing to offer.

[@ddxxbb1]

Nobody wants iRobot junk, any updates on upcoming Roborock S8 maxV Ultra review?

[@desupernoodle]

Why would anyone still buy a Roomba, they are on last years technology with next years price.

[@Jeffw02]

Because they're still the best by an objective measure.

[@MrBlueCreeper]

That was close! First! 🏆

RIP iRobot.

[@lukeclifton4392]

iRobot is so DONE!!… they might as well save the money and start winding up now!

[@spacemoon56]

iRobot is so far behind in terms of mopping

[@SvdT]

C'mon man, why are you reviewing this one, Irobot has nothing new that is worth reviewing. There are so many companies that make so much more advanced robots that you could have reviewed. You just really like Irobot to much, it's not that company anymore man, let it go. With that said, I love your channel an reviews and think you are doing great.
