Just wanted to let people know, that as I talked about doing since the day of launch when nobody knew the answer, I did in fact run tests for the Wyze Robot Vacuum slope boundaries finally today. Since it is probably something others will also want to refer to in Tips & Tricks, I posted it separately there so it can be easily referenced in the future:
You can see the videos and more details there, but here is the summary:
- It successfully ascended and descended slopes as great as 21.5°.
- It attempted to ascended a slope as great as 24.2° (but failed, and slipped back down and gave an error message). It might be able to succeed with this slope using a ramp made of material with better friction through.
- It ignored a slope of 25.5° and treated it like it would a wall.
Great job Wyze, offering a Robot Vacuum that allows slopes steeper than many others on the market (several others have limits around 15°). I’m happy I can have the vacuum treat my house as a 2 level house now, instead of a 4 level house.
