It's an ongoing issue that wyze won't address.
According to a reply in the above mentioned thread, some chemical reaction appears to be the cause:

certain rubber and vinyl compounds react so I guess there is some vinyl in the carpet fibers or backing the wheels are reacting with. (source: https://forums.wyzecam.com/t/robo...183918/213)

Wow, that's an incredible price! We love our robot vacuum. The tab that locks the dustbin in place broke on ours awhile back, and because the dustbin was backordered, they just replaced the entire vacuum. 😳 Vacuum sometimes has weird pathfinding around obstacles. The map sometimes gets messed up, but we resolve it by just picking the unit up and putting it back on the charger, and it corrects itself. 99% of the time, we send it out to vacuum, forget about it completely, and come back to clean floors! We have mostly wood floors, but previously had carpet, and it's done great on both, in our experience.

Just felt like posting because we really like ours, so call me a Robot Vacuum evangelist, I guess. lol

Does this work well for cat litter that the cats track onto hardwood floors?

My regular vacuum throws it all over with the brush roller turned on, but turned off it doesn't really do that good of a job.

No clue if others did, but I added a 3 year allstate for 24. I recall some of these can break within a few years, might as well get the warranty and not worry for a while
Yeah ended up doing the same. I should probably check if it covers batteries though since that's what went out on my Neato.

Will this go around a thick shaggy throw rug? I currently have to roll it up and move it onto the couch with my old non lidar or else it gets stuck. TIA

Imagine waking up every morning and your whole house already being vacuumed. Definitely worth the investment.
Just invested in the Shark Vertex Pro, vacuuming is therapeutic.

I'd have to buy 3 of these or invent one that can walk up and down 3 floors to get my whole house vacuumed =].

I would highly recommend against this; I had to pay to replace my rental house's carpet because of this stupid thing. To make up for it, Wyze sent me a piece of plastic that helps it dock properly (which wasn't related to it ruining my carpets, but it does have issues docking on medium/high pile carpet so it did help another unrelated problem). (Though IMO it's pretty absurd to sell a vacuum that doesn't dock well if the dock is on carpet.)

If the vaccuum gets confused or semi-stuck, it will just try harder. What happened is it got stuck somehow on a very small flooring transition (carpet -> tile) and tried to brute force the situation. This caused the wheels to rev, literally melting part of the carpet with heat from the (rubber?) wheels.

Support told me they'd heard of this happening a bunch before and didn't need any more information from me.

Aside from possibly ruining your flooring, the vacuum worked pretty dang well. The software was glitchy and lost my map a few times, but otherwise it was a HUGE improvement over my prior roombas (though that experience was from probably 5-10 years ago and I assume those have improved as well).

One more concern I'd have is that you can't buy consumable parts for it right now. With Wyze being wyze, who knows if they plan to continue making the filters, etc. I didn't do a deep dive but didn't see any generic alternatives, so keep in mind this might end up disposable based on Wyze's whim. (I doubt it's even a fraction as popular so who knows if a generic manufacturer will step in when wyze drops everything on the floor.)

Personally, the drastically reduced price plus needed accessories being out of stock would make me not jump even at this price. (Though if someone corrects me on there being generic equivalents it wouldn't be a big deal, but I'd still wonder how long Wyze would keep this alive which matters for cloud-based devices.)

Unrelated to the vacuum specifically: Wyze is a terrible company which continued to ship devices with significant security flaws. It took almost 3 years to fix most of the issues, during which they just... ignored the problem. Their v1 cameras were never fixed, and they EOLed them 2 years AFTER the security issue was disclosed to them to avoid having to fix them.
