Re Ecovacs - never again. Asides from the horrific app and the device continually getting lost, ours had a terminal issue with a bumper sensor/board, to which their answer to the problem was buy a new model. For a company to suggest binning something that was not old by any stretch of the imagination and just adding it to the land fill as a viable support option was just abhorrent. I avoid Ecovacs at all cost now. Just nope. 

 

fwiw I was too tight to consider a Roborock and just went with a Xiaomi s10 and its been a great replacement for the Ecovacs one (only downside really has been the smaller battery; but thats an easy fix). They are an amazing time saver and I didn't think twice about replacing the old one when it died.

Was that price for the Roborock in store? I’m trying to find that listing online.

We're still happy with the Roborock. It's easy to use, effective, and when hair gets caught around the roller brush it's easy to get out by taking off the end pieces. The only thing I'd like is a simpler way to switch between maps in the app, but that's minor. It auto switches which is good enough in some cases, but not for selective room cleaning 

 

Still highly recommend and much better than the old xiaomi.
