I purchased this from HSN for $299 + free shipping. I was excited to try the mop feature. It does a decent job with the mopping. I have a 4 inch cliff between my dining room and kitchen. It falls off the cliff every time and does not stop as advertised. And, it does occasionally gets stuck on things. I agree, it needs the mapping. Otherwise you will have no idea what's clean and what is missed. I have owned 3 different Roomba vacuums and 2 different Braava jets. I think the Spinwave does a better job on wet mopping. Not sure if I will keep it or not yet. I have subscribed to your channel and look forward to future reviews on all products. Thanks
I only paid $249.99 for this on sale from Amazon. I bought it to make cleaning easier but no eliminate it all together. Hopefully they come out with a smart version soon.
Thank you for this video, it was very good and informative. I was thinking about ordering the robot from Amazon but I wanted to check RU-vid and read some reviews first. I agree with you, I won’t get one right now.
@@FunTechReviews I know right! Once iRobot gets on the Lidar bandwagon and updates the brava m6 with those scrubbing brushes like on ones on that Bissel, I’m afraid there won’t be any competition!
Great video and info, as always. I really like their spin wave technology but the lack of LiDAR and smart navigation really hinders it. If it had the nav functionality of even an S4 with the spin wave mopping tech, it would be good value for $400 and I’d be ordering one right now, lol. But based on your positive review of the Samsung JetBot I picked up an EVERYBOT Edge, which seems to be the same exact unit but rebranded. I was able to grab it for $180 on Prime Day and really like it so far. It’s small enough to get into tight places and not get stuck and it has the spinning mop tech that works quite well. Might be interesting to put it up against the JetBot some day to see how it does. Thanks again for video!
I think the everybot is the same one too....possibly samsung uses better parts? But most likely the same robot...I really believe it's the best cleaning mop robot available.
Hey can you test the Veniibot N1 Max? It has a self cleaning mop station. Wondering if it could be the best mopping robot? I bought this Bissell Spinwave Robot as soon as the price dropped 250 on Amazon but the tires would lose traction on our smooth ceramic tile floors once the floor got wet from mopping. I am in the process of sending it back and going back to the drawing board😢
There is a jtag port and a data port on the bot behind the dirt bin I'm really curious what it's for lol 🤣 also the board has vacant connections one for lidar so I wonder if it might be possible to install a lidar turret on the bot .
Mines been good after a few firmware updates sbd app updates it's been a good robot . Make sure not to leave the mopping liquid in the machine as eventually it eats the seals and rusts out the motors . Bissell sent me another one with two mopping tanks and now I have two lol great robots
Does the T8+ have the vibrating pad and if so where did you get the robot i can't find it anywhere, lastly how was you rate the T8+ vac + mop especially mop portion of it.
I've ordered a Bissel 2931f. I'm single in a one bedroom flat. I think it will be perfect. Timber floors only. Any self respecting person would wipe any spills immediately, so there shouldn't be any problems. Cost me $529AU. Looking forward to coming home to a clean place. Has anyone done a review on this model? I cant find anything relating to it.
The exclusion of mapping is what has prevented me from getting it. But even then, even if they included sensors for magnetic strips (like boundary strips), that would be ok for what I need it to do... But they did not...which seems like a big oversight for a non-mapping robot.
They really need to make a robot floor cleaner than can handle grout lines specifically the small ones like yours. Braave can clean the tile but slides over grout. Run it against braava since it has that mopping back and forth movement it scrubs. Really not into combo rather have dedicated roobots like roomba/braava working together
I really don't see a good mopping robot...sure if you run one every day and don't miss a spill that a kid makes. Once a spill dries you will be cleaning it up yourself anyways.
I think the reason why they are not putting the smart navigation into them is the fact that it really needs more money and skill to make it perfect. The most important thing on a robot vacuum is the ability to clean and I think the companies want to test that first, because they would lose a whole lot more money if they had also put the smart navigation in them. At the same time, they might already be developing the smart navigation system, but as it is not perfected yet, they don't want to publish a product with poor navigation. It would destroy their image and then none would buy those anymore when the system is perfected, because "they navigate poorly". But let's be honest, those stupid kind of navigation systems are so easy to design with off the shelf components, it doesn't cost the companies anything. Then at the same time they can use all of the money on that cleaning system, perfect it, make it cheap enough and then integrate the smart navigation. It is better to market the product as "stupid" before "smart" and be absolutely sure that the smart product then also is really smart. Also there might be some patent things going on with iRobot and for example Ecovacs.
"But let's be honest, those stupid kind of navigation are so easy to design with off the shelf components, it doesn't cost the companies anything." Have you already made a SLAM or VSLAM navigation system on a robot? Because these kind of systems needs expensive sensors (like lidar) and/or a good amount of processing power in the ucontroller they use. If you have a link to a project that show a robot self navigating precisely with "off the shelf components" that cost nothing and that is completely run on a microcontroller (not a raspberry pi or ROS) send it to me because I really want to get better at this.
