I mostly use it on max now. I've integrated with Google Home. Was tempted to call it Bosco. How about HAL? :pac:

MAJJ wrote: » My first order with gearbest. Ordered Thur, chose "fast warehouse" and expedited shipping. Today no sign of shipping, raised ticket and was told estimate to ship on 30 Nov. So reckon no stock in EU and on a slowboat from China. Price was good, hope not too good!

One night doggie wasn't feeling too well. I let him out before bedtime. He obviously woke during the night unbeknowns to me and had a large "accident" of the not solid type. iRobot starts up does its thing. Let me tell you, it took weeks to get the stains out of the carpets and the hardwood floors, not to mention the smell. Unfortunately, the iRobot is not equipped to handle water washing off the connectors and they rusted. Now I have a lovely almost new iRobot sitting on the bench in the Rubbish room as customer service wanted to sell me a complete new body price 400 bucks.....thanks but no thanks.... bought a vacuum cleaner for 300 bucks and this does the job perfectly and I can see if there has been an "accident" (which thankfully there has not been since).

Another friend was looking for it but when I went looking it looks like they don't list it anymore. But now in my orders section when I click into the link there it brings me to the S501 model. As far as I can tell the only difference is the rose trim but is that correct? Is there any other differences? When I google it I get the same issue. The first result is the Amazon link but when you go in it shows the S501.

Got the xiaomi version 1 and set it up over the weekend. Pretty impressive, little advice, if you are buying one then get the virtual wall tape also. Handy to stop it falling down the stairs

Bacchus wrote: » Question on the Robovac 30C for those of you that have it. How good is it at navigating between rooms? I understand it's a "bump and run" type of navigation so how does it know it's finished one room before moving on to the next... and the next... etc. I'm thinking of this for downstairs and basically it would need to cover a large kitchen/dining/sunroom, utility room, hall, living room, office, small bathroom.
