Hi everyone!
I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It’s 3 years old, so no more warranty.
Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.
Here’s my wishlist:
- Home Assistant integration (duh)
- Vacuum + mopping
- Local control would be cherry on top
- LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
- Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)
Any suggestions / recommendations?
I’m a bit concerned by that as well. Especially for robots with integrated cameras. I don’t mind LIDAR sensors as much. Sure, they might leak my floor plan, but I would accept that risk. Unfortunately, it seems like most robot vacuums these days are Chinese. Especially if you want vacuum+mop combo with some nice features. (Whichever one I buy, I’ll also be adding it to IoT VLAN. Separate them from the rest of my network).
