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. |

I am a big fan of the ihome AutoVac Nova. It's currently about $200 at Walmart and has
- self-emptying base
- mop attachment
- LiDAR
I prefer the additional map and boundary customization offered through the iHome clean app as well.

Since it was "stuck" I placed another order on 6/17 figuring I would just return the first one if it ever showed up. The exact same thing happened to the second order. I got an email it would be delivered the next day. The next day I received another email saying the order has been delayed. When I click through the USPS tracking on this one it says Insufficient Address.
I've ordered so many things from Walmart without issue. Of course, their CS is no help saying I need to wait 2-3 more days for it to be delivered.

Hopefully different firmware and a US support team makes this better though the Wyze forums complaints do not give me much confidence

Mine keeps getting stuck on things every 2-3 mins. Sometimes I would hit run from the app and it would free itself, other times I have to manually free it. Considering I have to administer it every 2-3 mins, it kind of defeats the purpose of the vacuum.
To be more specific about this vacuum, i can rattle off all the places it gets stuck and you can determine if you might run into the same issues.
I have this vacuum upstairs and it doesn't know what to do when it gets to the edge of my staircase. I have horizontal rails and top part of the vacuum will lift itself and then get stuck. On one occasion, it went off the edge. Thankfully it was just one wheel and the whole thing didn't fall from the 2nd floor.
It also gets stuck under my couch. The gap under my couch is too low, but it tries to get in there anyway and gets itself stuck.
I don't think I have a particularly difficult obstacle of a home for it either. I had a Neato D7 that rarely got stuck. The problem with the Neato is their app is absolute garbage and I had issues with it disconnecting from my wifi. I was hoping this would replace it.
My last gripe is that the container is quite small. It got stuck a ton of times, barely vacuumed, yet was full to the point it was ejecting dust all over the ground. It seems it didn't have a sensor to stop it when it was full.
That last issue is why I'm probably returning it. I was thinking of moving it downstairs where it might encounter less "difficult" obstacles, but the whole overflow issue was quite annoying to clean up after.
