Thanks Alex for so generously sharing your spreadsheet and the detailed and honest review! Will be useful when I’m selecting a robovacuum for my new home Robot friendly floormat!

[@priyaloomba9323]

I got long hairs, should I go for Omini x5 pro? Please reply..You mentioned mapping issue and bugs all that stuff then how can you recommend to families when they will be struggling with this issue.

[@AlexTeo]

@@priyaloomba9323 software bugs are there but it's not happening everyday and might not be encounted by everyone. Same goes with any electronic products and devices including your PC and mobile phones. If mapping issue happens for the X5 Pro omni, then just do a remap on the spot, not much of a 'struggle' there, just some inconvenience. If you value the most reliable and stable model then go for q revo curv, it could also better handle your long hair better.

Yet another awesome detailed review. Thanks for the insight. I love watching robot vacuum reviews and it's crazy how fast the technology is evolving. Would love to get the robot-friendly mat! Keep up the great work! 😊

[@RCmies]

Same I love watchikg these even though I'm not planning to buy one any time soon lol

[@PamedPet]

Excellent, We live in two countries and have very different homes and have had 12 robots over time. iRobots the worst. Now have mostly Ecovacs and one Roborock. Many levels of houses with different flooring. One house mainly high end wood and upstairs wall to wall. Other house some floors wall to wall, rugs and one level high end laminate flooring. What is your top recommendation for carpets (good quality med pile). Was looking as the new Ecovac as 11,000psi. Unfortunately cannot carry vacs from floor to floor..just not possible. Seems the new Eufy will be great for hardwood floors? Actually most fof our floors are combo carpet & wood/highend laminate. two main floors are only wood or high end laminate. No shoes in either home but need to vacuum every day to keep nice, especially carpet.

[@Magurosenbei]

Robot Friendly Floormat Good stuff as usual. Really like all this home appliance comparison stuff that you have been doing.

I like the eufy pro s1 but the thing i heard is that its vacuming isn't as good as some others

actually vacuum is not as important as mopping imo, vacuum is mostly for hair

[@deevism]

This review would have been most excellent before 11-11! I was debating between the Dreame and Curv, but eventually got the latter. I like that I can remove the entire cleaning tray from the Curv, and anti-hair entanglement design; plus I can't pipe/ drain directly.

[@AlexTeo]

Have to prioritise for different products haa

Hi there, how does Eufy S1 pro perform in mopping around corners?

[@AlexTeo]

not great since its not able to extend its roller mop

[@dondiezel]

What's the best robot vacuum that doesn't have a mop?

[@diontan7096]

Great review of the robot vacuums overall, but if you can suggest a budget friendly robot vacuum for us will be best 😅. Additional request, I know this question is not related but I just want to catch your attention. I'm in the midst of doing renovation (SG), then I noticed smart switches are not suppose to connect to control DC ceiling fan (quite common these days). Any way to overcome this? I know we can just use smart ceiling fan, but kdk smart fan has plenty of complaints. Is it possible to connect smart switches to on/off ceiling fan? I do not need speed control (most have last used setting saved), just on and off will do. Came across local brand 'outsmart' switches which claimed to be able to connect DC ceiling fan (2-3 gang switches only), but capacitor is needed to add to the 1st switch lighting. Do u mind to cover this for your audience?

[@AlexTeo]

so far my budget pick is either go with 2nd hand or the xiaomi x20+ i have been using my aqara switches with DC fans for 5 years already, as long as the power rating is within range i don't see why it won't work. My next video is on smart fans though haa

[@diontan7096]

​​@@AlexTeo I have been surverying smartrul or moes (tuya brand as recommended by you), most of their description said it won't work, or won't last. That's why I'm also wondering, it's just on/off, not anything fancy. Also, the brand outsmart also specifically said theirs works with DC fan. I think this can be a topic to aware ordinary people. Meanwhile, apparently those switch without neutral connection must be connected to 10w lighting and above, otherwise flickering issues might appear. This is also something I didn't know even after watching all your videos. 😅

[@hunket6510]

The eufy s1 pro isn’t available in Singapore?

[@AlexTeo]

yup, not officially sold in Singapore

[@whennn]

This is cool. But dreame launched x50 pro a few months ago. What do you think about that one ?

[@AlexTeo]

if you need it to climb like a 6cm curb then its a super important situational feature, else I find the L series are more value for money

[@whennn]

@@AlexTeo isn't the pascal 19500 ? almost double of the x40 , no ?

[@AlexTeo]

@@whennn far from double haa, but anyway pascal number is not something that you need to care a lot. It's like your phone camera megapixel, it's a number that does not mean a whole lot of things anymore

[@mangomangoai]

Robot friendly floormat Thanks for informative review! The back walking of the dreame x40 when it meets objectives looks quite a lot in comparison to other model. Do you think it can be better by software update?

[@AlexTeo]

yup robot behavior can be changed with software updates

[@simonrikhotso5816]

Hi Mr. Teo. After watching your "My TOP 3 Robot Vacuums Worth Buying" for 2023. I was already sold to the channel, subscribed immediately lol. Thank you for such an honest review. I have a question about Dreame and now Ecovacs machines. do they have a powerful exhaust pump to drain the water just like a washing machine? my drain line is running at a higher level from the ground. if that is the case it means I could connect the washer and the vacuum cleaner drain pipe to together and that could be a complete win for me.

[@AlexTeo]

wow thanks for the support and sub. For your question, it's better for them to provide you with official support, they have their guidelines on how to setup the drainage system

[@ppkprashanth]

Robot Friendly Floormat.. I currently have a irobot roomba j7 and braava jet. thinking of upgrading to one of the 4 but still unsure which one to use. I have a household with pet, marble and wood flooring and not so busy. Kinda leaning towards Dreame X40 Pro Ultra or the eufy one you mentioned but still a bit confused. any thoughts or suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

[@AlexTeo]

your requirements align nicely with the strength of the roborock q revo curv, i will recommend that for you

[@AlexTeo]

@@WarThunderGerald most likely they will launch the X50 after CES

[@Gnautt]

Robot friendly floormat! Your channel is super relevant for new homeowners like me (esp. on the Wifi bit as I feel not alot of local channels cover such objective test measurements). Though I'm still torn between the Dreame X40 and Roborock Saros 10R, both seems to be highly raved by alot of reviews!

[@AlexTeo]

yeah glad you like the wifi video format as i avoid going too technical for average consumers, both X40 and Saros 10R are indeed very similar

[@Gnautt]

@@AlexTeo 1 question - can you confirm that Saros 10R is unable to hook up to the water pipe for auto dispensing of the water tank? and X40 is able that I am aware.

[@Siewperman]

I absolutely hate cleaning hair from my Dyson. I have not used any robot vacuum extensively. I know the x40 has the one with hair cutting roller, but does the conventional one get ladies hair stuck? I don’t have pets. If it gets stuck easily, then maybe my only option is to get the Dreams with cutter roller or the Roborock?

[@AlexTeo]

Either get a dreame model that support the tricut brush or the qrevo curv

[@bensonpoh289]

Hi Alex great video! For the eufy s1 pro, since we are shipping from US, is there a warranty? And is there a way to service in Singapore if it happens? I also tried to put in in cart to buy but don’t seem to see the discount

[@AlexTeo]

Warranty with Amazon only and don't buy a US ver if you don't have a power transformer else it's going to trip your house

[@bensonpoh289]

@@AlexTeo Thanks for the reply Alex. Does amazon warranty means that we have to send it back to amazon for servicing? The $500 discount dont seem to apply for shipment to singapore? Is there a none US version that doesn’t require a power transformer?

Hey Alex, tossing between Ecovacs X5 Pro Omni, Dreame X40 Pro Ultra and Robororck S8 MaxV Ultra. Thoughts?

[@serhiymedvedyev7140]

freo z

[@AlexTeo]

roborock S8 maxv ultra is definitely out for me since its still dragging a piece of cloth. Then the rest is basically what i recommend at 13:30

[@chessdoge1133]

I took the ecovacs. It cleans like a champ, some navigation bugs but that’s basically all the cons, huge main brush, and nice mopping too.

[@puilamlaw8531]

I am in uk, have miniature poodle, and my son is 11 years old , I am long hair. I am considering Ecovacs X5 pro or Dreame X40 Ultra ( not pro ) Would you please advise me which one? I really like Dreame can self clean the tray, but ecovacs cannot, but ecovacs 12800 pa more than dreame I am still struggling Please advise me😅

[@chessdoge1133]

@@puilamlaw8531 it does have a self clean feature, if you long hold the button on the wash station the robot will drive out while the station cleans itself, it’s the self clean button. Personally I have the X5 Omni and it’s really good with pet hair, the biggest brush roll out of them all and it doesn’t tangle.

[@irenechua7557]

Hi Alex, could you review the airbot x40 ultra? I have seen it many times during my online scrolling and wondered if the robot vacuum was considerably good at a low price.

[@AlexTeo]

i would rather go with the xiaomi x20+ which is cheaper

[@Jayy63]

Yay new video! Thanks as always for the review and your insights! What's the differences between dreame x40 pro ultra vs the l40 ultra? Is it just the brush? L40 can swap for tricut brush but x40 using dual brush and cannot swap?

[@AlexTeo]

and the retractable lidar sensor in terms of features, X40 ultra can use tricut bursh but not the pro model
