@Make I have had many robot vacuum cleaners, they are fun but impractical

I heard the new ones are quite good already

unless maybe you have a massive hall and you want to keep it clean. or you have kids so they run around and chase the robot, from the practical point of view they are absolutely worthless

there is fast development

possibly. about 15 months ago I purchased the latest and greatest roomba and it was shite. but it's very much possible they have released better robots. but at the last time I checked, they were busy creating mobile apps etc. for them instead of working on the actual robot and it's mechanics

> start your robot over the internet but it gets stuck somewhere anyways

Really that's what sells isnt it

gimmicks

besides, the actual cleaning mechanism is shit. it's just two stupid blades trying to collect the dust. I'd understand if it was a vacuum, but we don't have batteries yet to solve it

wait, it's just a brush?

+ something that vibrates and in theory slams the dirt from floor

but in the end, you take out even your shittiest vacuum cleaner and it does better jobs

@KING LIAM other forum they mentioned the latest roomba tracks your apartment and make bluebrint out of it and optimizes paths according to it

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vkTVAd_YYc4 looks pretty good tbh

my romba did it too, but it was nevertheless dumb....

and I don't have shit like clothes or toys lying on my floor

also we don't have shitty full floor carpets in Finland like they have in usa

I'm from Estonia, neither do we. you still mess around with things you have to put you don't want the robot to go... so in the end you mark the territories and clean the cartridge and all the time you spend on it is better spent on vacuuming

I have very similar model and its mapping system is dumb. in fact I think I have the same

considering estonian salaries +900€ is really much

@Make salaries are not big here indeed, but it doesn't mean people don't have money

it's no 1990 anymore ; ) god bless capitalism

you get the worse of our society with the manual labourers

when estonians started working in finland, the national average IQ jumped + 60 points because they are not in the stats anymore

@Make I have this: https://www.amazon.com/iRobot-Roomba-Vacuum-Cleaning-Robot/dp/B005GK3IVW
and I don't recommend you to buy it, pay some estonian instead to clean your mum's apartment for some amount of time. a maid. money well spent.

@KING LIAM that's old model indeed only 900 series have that mapping feature

well mine sure did map something, but I think you have investigated more about them... I just bought it out of curiosity and realize it's dogshit tech very quickly

yep

Check yourself if you are blacklisted: http://www.vkvan.com/

what is this?

wat?

what blacklist you are talking about

saw it in announcements

I was wondering what kind of blacklisting is this

a lot of russian names though

a lot of russians using aliexpress too

"Just be aware that with some sellers on Ali, doing a dispute will guarantee you end up on this list:"

quick google search... probably some chinese blacklist yeah

it's in the <#247481427803897866> channel

I have experienced that for Finnish users aliexpress pays money back almost immediately
