Wyze Robot Vacuum - Room mapping. Path planning. Efficient cleaning

I love Wyze products! I don’t really need a robot vac as I have mostly hard floors but I am definitely buying this just to support a good company. Just think of all the companies that we give money to that we don’t even care for Spectrum, Directv, At&t, should I keep going lol. Waiting for a good mopping robot one that really scrubs and cleans hard floors think Bissell Crosswave but in robot vac form with Lidar!!! Drooling just thinking about consistently clean floors. By the way thr Irobot Braava line stinks but their Scooba line was the real deal before they discontinued it, just my opinion anyways.

Only works with Alexa??? I wish they would try to integrate with google by default. I understand they were born from amazon but there is still a huge market of google home users out there. I would buy wyze products more quickly if they were integrated right away.

Wyze Robot Vacuum is now available for pre-order! :smiley:

No mention on the website or FAQ on whether it can store maps for multiple floors. I assume that means single floor mapping only?

Just ordered mine I am so excited!!! I don’t really need it as I have all hard floors but as an early backer I felt compelled to support one of my favorite companies while I am waiting on on the Wyze robot mop hint hint this is a good start though.

I dont see anything about integrations with Google or Alexa. Would love to be able to tell Google Assistant to have it clean a specific room.

Hoping they publish some more detail specs soon. Weird did not have the more standard product launch video with all the engineering they did. Felt more like we slapped are name on this already made vacuum. Key questions unanswered for me is multiple floor map storage as well as filters to replace and storage volume. Standard filters work? How much can it hold?

This might be a silly question, but via the app, do you have controls to drive/steer the vacuum out from under, let’s say, a couch?

It looks to be a literally copy of roborock, even down to the app

Some questions answered in the announcement thread:

Hey Gwen just curious since this seem to be based on the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Mop P will Wyze be releasing the mopping attachments for it in the future such as the water tank and the scrubbing pad like the Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Mop P has? I have watched some reviews and it seems to clean pretty good.

This is just my opinion but I did some digging and this seems to be what the Wyze Vac is based on. The Xiaomi Mi Robot Vacuum Mop P

we just bought a Roomba 960 a few weeks ago…it’s OK, but didn’t realize how important a self-emptying feature “could” be (assuming it works well), which my Roomba doesn’t have

i’d be more likely to seriously consider this Wyze robo-vac if it self-emptied, or if the feature could be added in the near future

Can we get one with a camera mounted on it?

The Robot Vacuum looks great! But it 1000% needs a base with automatic dirt disposal.

I have one of those $700 robot vacuums which I’m sure WYZE is going to outperform–but I run that thing so often that the automatic dirt disposal the base is a HUGE benefit. That’s the point of a robot vacuum…you run it more frequently. And with the dirt bin being small, it fills up quick! So Auto Dirt Disposal is a must IMO…

I would switch immediately if the base had this feature! Make it happen WYZE!!!

Hi!

I received an email about the Wyze Vacuum today, and I am really excited to try one out! One feature that I would love to see is a charging dock that allows the Wyze Vacuum to empty its dust bin. I have attached a picture of Roomba’s “Clean Base” which provides the functionality I am describing. I think that a lot of consumers would find this useful and would be willing to be $100 - $200 for the charging dock.

Thanks in advance for the consideratin,
Ben

That sad 2.7 / 5 rating (though low sampling) is in line with the anecdotes that it just doesn’t work and is not worth the extra expense.

We have the iRobot with the auto dirt disposal. That feature on the home base is a HUGE PLUS… I won’t be buying the Wyze Vacuum without a dirt disposal base. I would buy it immediately if it did have a base like this.

I am in the exact same boat! I would buy this IMMEDIATELY if there was a base with automatic dirt disposal.
