I have had a Roomba early model that has been going for many years with a few new batteries and parts. I recently got an eufy Boost IQ RoboVac 11S and it works very well. Battery life is great. I wanted to be loyal to Roomba and iRobot, but the price point swayed me.
Then I got a RoboVac11S mopping cleaner. This thing is fantastic! It wet mops the camper floor so well, and has minimal maintenance. My wife is so happy with these robots!
Anybody have similar experiences?

I have bought Roombas, three for us and two for our daughter. Should have saved the money for gas. Never again. Fell apart faster than I could repair and buy parts for them. And I never felt that "support" or "customer service" was anything more than script readers. Not ready for prime time IMO.

Glad you had good luck with yours.

I am confused. You have 5 Roombas and aren't satisfied. Why not return them? I have found support to be very good. We have 2 in our home, and we bought 2 for 2 of our kids. All work flawlessly.

We’ve had a Roof man 600 in the sticks and bricks for 8-9 years. Let me see, two batteries, many brush kits, and one dirt chamber. Very, very happy with it. The key to long life is maintenance. I dump,the dirt after each use. I wipe it out with a paper towel every other use. Every 3-4 weeks I take it apart, blow it out with compressed air, clean the brushes thoroughly.
I am ordering a new one this week. I dropped the old one on the concrete and it broke. After this long, I figure it has served us well, and time to replace it.

Glad you are happy with yours. I figured it wasn't worth the time, effort or energy to fool with them any longer. To clarify I bought three different models.

The first one actually was okay, at least the cat liked it. Second one the battery wouldn't charge with in six months of buying it, and got the run-a-round on it. Number 3 never would dock and was always lost. More run-a-round on that one.
