Inevitably I will get some smart@ss that thinks we aren't aware of the fact that most stuff are assembled or manufactured in China. The point is more that the entire software stack on the vacuum and all the data it collects are under Chinese "company" control. I put "company" in quotes, because anyone that has ever dealt with such regimes know it's not just a company. Any large company of sufficient size all have direct ties to the government/CCP.
PS, I'm part Chinese, and being Asian get treated differently than obvious tourists even if they recognize us as tourists when traveling to countries like that.

Warranty service has been good, but that may change. Concerned about the solvency of the company since the Amazon takeover is blocked.

We've also been disappointed with how frequently it gets stuck by shutting itself in the bathroom, flipping over bath rug corners, or its favorite: getting the bumper stuck. With the latter, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it - it just wants you to tap the bumper a few times and send it on its merry way…
Waiting until we move later this year and Black Friday rolls around to snag a Roborock or similar with LiDAR and mop water tanks now that Roomba lost it's dual roller patent which was its only significant advantage IMO.

For example, I can run my ecovacs at night on the main floor where there are no bedrooms so doesn't bother anyone while we sleep. But if you try to run the roomba it has an extremely hard time seeing if all your lights are off and does not run.
I know they wanna go the way to Tesla and only use vision and no LiDAR or radar like others. But doesn't work at this time.
These need to run on well lit rooms. i.e. during the day
No fire, bro. More a FYI. Take it as you please. 😁👍
It does best on hardwood and low pile carpets. The mapping feature is quite good and it hasn't eaten any wires or cables that I've left out.
I use the braava companion mop, and while it does an okay job, manually mopping is much much better. The braava is about as good as a light wet swiffer.

I spent 6 months researching a water reverse osmosis system and decided on a system atrictly because it was a california based company. 2 months in, I dumped it and bought a Chinese system. Much better.

If you think this is about politics, you're spending too much time thinking about politics.
Ended up getting Water Drop Tankless. Far superior in terms of amount of water it can dispense in a day. No more waiting for water to be filled up in a tank. Waste to clean water ratio down from 6:1 to 1:2.
APEc also has a tankless system now. But it's also made in China.
