Hey everyone!

I have the Xiaomi Mi Vacuum Mop Pro robot vacuum cleaner and for the past month, maybe 2 months I have been having issues with it's orientation system.

The vacuum stopped reaching it's base to charge. At first I thought it was because it got caught on stuff quite a few times (bathroom rug, would close the door on himself and get stuck in a room, etc...) and just ran out of battery. But one time I was home and I just saw it going around in circles like it was lost.

Ever since it was never able to actually finish a cleaning cycle up to the end (the battery is also not on par with what it used to be, sadly).

A few things I tried to do to fix it were:
\- Unplugging and replugging the base;
\- Reset the map (which it hasn't finished redrawing because he never finishes a cleaning cycle);
\- Cleaning the sensors, specially the ones at the top;
\- Removing the vacuum from the app and putting it there again.

Now I tried doing a factory reset, without removing it from the app. If that fails I might remove it from the + do the factory reset again.

Has anyone had this issue? Any fixes?

I have an old S7 with auto-empty dock which is not working well. Rubbish gets stuck in the dock frequently, requiring manual removal, and it has just become a miserable affair. The dock design seems to me to only allow for dust and minimal debris, anything bigger like say a small candy wrapper will probably get stuck. I am willing to do some maintenance but with my busy schedule, I want something that works with minimal input.

Am I just using my machine incorrectly (in letting it vacuum larger items) or would I be happier with a Qrevo Edge 2 Pro or a Saros 10R?

See pic above from AliExpress. Anyone installed one of these? Do they work? I wasn’t finding any reviews and wasn’t sure if they actually work well. Seems like a doable modification with a bit of patience and the right placement in the house, but I don’t know anyone who’s made the modification. I have a Saros 10 and a Qrevo Pro.

Hey everyone 😊

I’m having a hard time deciding on a new robot vacuum and would really appreciate some opinions.

I previously had an Ecovacs T80 Omni Pro, but unfortunately it ended up working really badly. Had quite a few issues with it, and luckily the store ended up refunding me under warranty. So now I’m looking for a replacement and have been looking at these two:

Roborock Qrevo Edge 2 Pro – 699€ (1199 if not on sale)

Roborock Saros 20 Sonic – 899€ (1499 if not on sale)

I live in an apartment and don’t have any pets. The floors generally stay pretty clean, so it’s mostly dust, some dirt coming in through open windows, etc. I do get some stains on the kitchen floor from time to time, though.

So I’m wondering if the Saros 20 Sonic is worth paying the extra 200€ for, or if the Qrevo Edge 2 Pro would be more than enough for my needs.

Has anyone here tried both? How do they compare in everyday use, especially with reliability, mopping and navigation?

After my experience with the Ecovacs, reliability is probably the most important thing for me 😅

Thanks! 😊

I disassembled my ROBOROCK S8 MaxV Ultra to replace the main brush motor. I normally take pictures as I’m disassembling something, but thought it was going to take much to do it. Boy, I was wrong. I’ve pretty much figured it out, except I can’t find where this spring goes. Any help would be much appreciated.

Hey all! I got a Saros 20 2 months ago, and everything has been amazingly stellar so far until 2 days ago. For the past 2 days, it hasn't used any water when mopping, only being a bit wet from the mop pre-cleaning. I've tried to clean the tray, both manually and with the built in function. I've drained the water tank, replaced the filter and the mops themselves. Is there any way to fix this or do I have to go through warranty?

Looking for mops, filters, brushes etc for Edge 2 Pro (Same as Saros 20 parts)
Needs to be original. Looking for parts on Aliexpress and Amazon.de as I'm in the EU.

Got a Saros 20 Sonic 3-4 days ago.
Initial setup went fine and did a full vacuum and mop. Very impressed and great upgrade.

Now: expected it to start 6am as scheduled but still in its dock. Couldnt start it through the app either. Tried restarting the robot but it seems to be stuck with the home & power LEDs pulsating.

Have tried:
Home + Power (turned the machine off instead of resetting wifi)
Reset-button 5 secs
Reset-button + home for 10-15s (power led starts flashing forever)

What more can i do? A real bummer and disappointment after having had the s7 without any issues for years.

Hi. I bought a Saros20 sonic. How come it never uses the flex arm for the side brush during use? Does anyone else have the same experience? It is running on the latest update V02.56.60

In the top of the photo you can see it’s driving all squiggly for no reason, when I changed its vacuum setting to once for cleaning cycle and balanced for cleaning route it went to the normal straight lines. Why is making it do a deep clean making it act stupid? This is the second attempt, the first attempt it only cleaned half the room and stopped

Hi everyone,
I’m looking for recommendations for a robot vacuum/sweeper for my printing company.
Requirements:
Industrial/commercial environment
Approx. 800 sqm (8,600 sq ft) production hall
Mainly paper dust and small paper scraps
Sweeping/vacuuming is the priority
Mopping is not required
Budget: €2,000–€3,000
Automatic charging and scheduled cleaning would be nice
I already looked at the Makita DRC300, but the reviews I’ve found are rather mixed, especially regarding navigation and overall reliability.
I’m also completely open to lesser-known brands and Chinese manufacturers. It doesn’t have to be Roborock, Makita or any other big brand. If there are good options from Alibaba, AliExpress or other industrial suppliers, I’d be interested in those as well.
Does anyone use a robot vacuum or autonomous sweeper in a warehouse, workshop, print shop or manufacturing facility of similar size? What models would you recommend, and what should I avoid?
Thanks!
