Feels like you spend more time cleaning the actual mop than cleaning the floor 😅
Stay away from Bravva Jet! They are horrible products and the company doesn’t honor the warranty
Waste of money in my opinion as they are unreliable ,I also find customer service poor.
I do NOT recommend the Q Revo if you have pets with long fur, or in general actually. The first one I got stopped working after about a month and I had to get a brand new one. Which they sent, but customer service was a nightmare trying to figure out US customer service or UK customer service. It’s got great features, mopping and vacuuming at the same time, the mop lifts up when it does on carpet, self emptying, lidar. My issues are the mopping feature is decent, at best. If you want to make sure it last awhile, make sure you put the setting for mop on its lowest, even then, the water doesn’t last long before you’re filling and emptying it, and at that level it doesn’t mop very well anyways. Also, the washing mop features is horrible, it doesn’t clean the mop at all. Don’t let it vacuum more than one room before emptying if you’ve got pets because the self emptying feature will clog. Its mapping is fantastic, doesn’t get lost, but its primary features, at least for me, who have a number of dogs, is lack luster and not worth the money. I’ll definitely try to Dream L20 next time.
Thanks for your comment.
what if tell you the q5 does mop?
You are saying Q5 does mop for you?

Capstone Vercon and every other “smart mirror” unfortunately don’t actually exist 🤦♂️ super weird since it’s 2024

To bad the s8 dont have spinning mops. I really like this idea.
Thanks for sharing!!
I have had my Dyson WashG1 for just over a week. I cleaned my tiled kitchen, bathrooms and laundry floors. I was horrified to see how much dirt and soap was embedded in the tiles having used only cold water at all times. I will never ever use a mop and bucket again. The machine is easy to use, every part just clicks into place as with all Dyson’s. Loved the self cleaning action when you have finished cleaning. I highly recommend the WashG1.
Thanks for sharing!!
Works on PET hair?
@@user-tb4kb6yi4vI don’t have a pet. I suggest you contact dyson_anz.
The original was weak. Lens fell off, the battery lasts about 2 weeks and The speaker and mic is useless as you can hear what they are saying the lag in so bad.

Don't buy this sh** they gatekeep you from using the app if you don't pay

Can you connect eufy to google hub?
Yes
Very awesome… 😞

Google everything plus nest aware £6pcm I never miss a thing inside and outside my home, familiar face detection plus animal detection and parcel detection I could go on, Google beats ring hands down
Thanks for your comment.
Realy nasty that you need a subscription for complete usage besides the online storage. It would be better if it is just ready to use and fully equiped,so that you only need to subscribe for special online storage or whatever
I hear your frustration about subscription models, especially when it feels like you're being nickel-and-dimed for every feature.
power XL is terrible
Thanks for your comment.
In what ways? some reviews say its really nice?
After purchasing the machine, I still need a subscription to fully use it? This is crazy. All programs should be pre-installed within the device and should be set up/controlled via Bluetooth without needing to connect to an external network. We should get all the features instead of paying a monthly subscription fee. What’s even more concerning is that if the company doesn't perform well someday, they might shut down the app rendering the machine unusable. Or 3/5 years later, they might decide your model is too old and degrade the app's user experience to encourage people to buy the latest model.
I completely understand your frustration. It can be disheartening to invest in a product only to find out that additional subscriptions are required to access its full capabilities.
very unclear comparison
We are sorry for that.
Wow. $1,500 plus subscription fee. I could hire a maid for that.
That would be a great idea!
Great video. Which of these doesn’t require monthly fees for storing footage?
check whether there are assistance and repair centers in your country. In Italy they don't exist and if it breaks outside of the warranty you either repair it yourself or you have to throw it away.
Thanks for sharing!
This video answered my question that a ring customer service rwp couldn't answer over my 10 min break. Thank you!
You are welcome!
Hmmmmmm very interesting Tech
Thanks for your comment.
I have the roomba s9+ combo. While the roomba has been a life saver, I want a mop that actually scrubs the floor all the way up to the wall. The m7 uses a pad and doesn’t clean along baseboards. Even with max water squirts and double passing, it has a hard time with dried liquids like coffee my dad’s spills and I don’t find until days later. I just wait until I can get my wheelchair to a place I can reach it.
Consider adding the Braava Jet m6 to your cleaning routine. Its precision jet spray and vibrating cleaning head make it ideal for tackling tough dried spills along baseboards. With smart mapping technology and customizable cleaning options, it complements your Roomba S9+ for comprehensive floor cleaning.
I have the M1 working with HomeKit however it keeps removing sub-devices. Any advice anyone?
Ensure sub-devices are within range and not obstructed. Try resetting and re-adding them. Update firmware for both M1 hub and sub-devices. Reconfigure HomeKit if issues persist. Contact Zemismart support if needed.
@@SmartHome101 have done all of the above - hoping that Zemismart can assist
You're better off. I can't even connect such a simple devices as sonoff ZBMINIL2 or zigbee remote control to this hub. The only device I managed to pair to the hub was a ceiling light, but it doesn't show up in homekit. Piece of crap. Wasted money.
@@Bielk0 I am using the M1 solely to manage Zigbee Clipsal Wiser mechs (dimmers and on/off). I only did so after confirming that they would work bc they are essentially Tuya units (but Clipsal is well supported here in Australia). The problem with all of these bridges/hubs is that the Zigbee links are all proprietary - which I guess was the whole matter solution
Only thing they got wrong is arlo pro 4 lasts 4 days on a single charge and pro 5s lasts 6 days on a single charge. Completely failing the mark of 6 months or more. They are great but the battery will need to be changed weekly so be prepared.
Thanks for sharing your experience.
I get up to 1 month if the wind is not bad or too many deer don't walk thru but you are right about lower times.
Does eufy provide pre-recording? For example if it captures an event at 3:00 PM, will it include some amount of time right before?
Does it voiceID functionality? I wanna say "mirror mirror on the wall " and it unlocked.
Don't think so!
i wish eufy arrived my attention in 2017
Why don't you get one right now.
@@SmartHome101 already vested in Nest/Google, but will start a long transition away from
Ring video doorbells a piece of junk. I returned that so quick the video quality is terrible.
Did you tried anything eufy?
sure its with zigbee? i found no information about zigbee on the package
The FP2 is not a Zigbee device.
It’s gigabit, not gigabyte
Thanks
Do not consider Braava jet m6! Not even regular roomba. My Braava under warranty and the company refuses to receive and repair Braava that has a malfunction with smart maps.
Thanks for the information.
I have the s9+ set. I had a few smart map issues that took awhile to figure out. Not the best mapping software. Some places it would miss a room or half a room. The trick was to create a clean zone for those areas and specifically send it to those areas. Eventually they got added to the map. Zones are your friend. I love the roomba but their customer service support suffered. My m7 did odd things during covid lockdown. It took 6 months to finally get it replaced. That’s been a couple of years now so maybe they got their staffing issues resolved.
Both seem to attract too much dust. How to keep them clean? The white especially look dirty fast even indoors. Also both too expensive Homepod more expensive than the apple tv is not logical.
Thanks for your comment.
For the same price these days, you can get a robovac that goes S shapes and also mop the floor. Dont buy this in 2024.
Thanks for your comment.
Hi There. Anyone of these able to log the data to a Google Sheet online?
I have heard that not all the features are available with the Blink non-subscription option. I would like to know what features are available only using the SD card.
Hey, I’ve been using Blink cameras system for the past 4 months and I have nothing but positive feedback. The network strength and connectivity are always great. The batteries are still good so far. I started using the SD card to save videos locally not long ago, and the feature is not available is that you can’t save any live videos and the saved videos may take 2,3 seconds longer to load for viewing. Other than that, they’re pretty much the same and I rather using the SD card than paying for subscription.
@@nhiendo3136 Thanks for your kind reply!
nice, I'm looking for an robot with a bagless station and I don't need a mop
Thanks for your comment.
I've been trying to find a solution for parcels delivered to my townhouse and I've concluded: It's not worth the money. If thieves can't steal the parcel, they'll just steal the entire box, take it home, and break it open. The only way anything like this makes sense is if you have somewhere you can fasten it down. I can't fasten one to the front of my townhouse because I technically don't own the outside of my townhouse so I can't make alterations to it like that. I could screw it down to my deck at the back but that will require a lot of special instructions for delivery drivers and they will most certainly say "f**k that" and drop the parcel on my step and leave, it's one thing to ask them to put the parcel into the predesignated parcel receiving box, another instruction I bet would be ignored on the regular, it's another to ask them to walk around the whole townhouse unit to the back, locate my deck, and put the parcel into the receiving box on it.
Thanks for sharing this.
Which one is the best as wall mounted home kit
I'm not sure if I want a product from a company known to kill of its products leaving you with a brick like the nest secure.
