And it's a vacuum, you worry on Chinese people knowing the map and layout of your house and how frequent you use the vacuum? Same thing will happen if this products is made in the US, US companies will also track the same data.
The discounted pricing is basically the same as past deals we have seen here. It's a shame, i was waiting to see the S7 MaxV Ultra, but it's still very pricey.

I didn't mention it by name because it was an earlier generation machine from iRobot called Braava 380t. I say it was an earlier generation, but they are still selling it. It was a mopping robot that wasn't capable of creating maps or self-starting. It broke down most frequently due to the treads on the wheels. It also managed to get stuck on a regular basis. Having a wet robot sit in one spot on an engineered hardwood floor all night was problematic.
It didn't create maps, it used a separate cube to know where it was in a room. The amount of effort it took to prepare a room for the robot, and to prepare the robot itself, made it almost useless. Even with its infrequent use, it had frequent problems.
I'm holding out for S7MaxV Ultra. Checking back every few hours.

- I have a Golden Retriever that sheds long-fine hair. I would have untangle hair from the ends of the brush every 1-2 weeks. Not difficult to do but something to watch out for if you have a similarly long-haired dog.
- After I ran out of the initial set of bags I received with the vacuum I purchased some generic bags on Amazon - it may have been user error but I had a much harder time getting them to fit/work properly
- I purchased the bagless container after having issues with the bags and it doesn't do quite as well with getting the hair out of the vacuum's bin as the bags did
- Within the last couple of weeks the vacuum initially started taking way longer to vacuum (I would manually stop it at 2 hours when it normally took an hour) and would have really bizarre paths in the app map. I tried thoroughly cleaning all the sensors, resetting to default, deleting maps, etc and nothing has worked so far. I have been working with their support to try to fix it but I don't have high hopes at this point. Email support was quick to respond, and has been somewhat helpful although they've mostly just provided stock troubleshooting tips to date. My factory warranty is out but I have an extended warranty with my credit card and I'm guessing I will be using it.
Despite the issues, if I do receive a refund from my credit card company I will probably use it to purchase one of the S7 upgrades because it worked quite well when it was working (does anyone know if the new S7s are compatible with the old S7 auto-empty docks?). I will definitely be using my credit card with the extended warranty to buy it, though.Sign up for a Slickdeals account to remove this ad.
