This vacuum is too loud. Even on quiet mode, the vacuum is significantly louder than my Ziglint D5. Alone the motors which drive the wheels are louder than the suction on my Ziglint. Being constantly at home during this pandemic, there is no good time to run it. I’m tempted to return it.
My Ziglint vacuum can also be used on any floor of the house and maps out the rooms each time. It realizes the charger is not reachable when it is not on the same floor and notifies you audibly that cleaning is complete and asks to return it to the charger. With the Wyze vacuum, you have to go in each time and delete the map- you think it would be able to work without having to do this.
The charger always moves around since the vacuum parks against it instead of on top of it. Of course you could tape the charger to the floor, but I’d like to be able to clean and mop around the charger as well.
The dustbin is hard to access and hard to open, I feel like I’m going to break the dustbin every time I open it- this is also much better on the Ziglint.
The Wyze vacuum only has one edge brush. This means one wheel is always driving through the dirty, not yet vacuumed part of the floor, the wheel then tracks the dirt around the rest of it’s path.
I also noticed that the Wyze vacuum cannot follow along a straight wall if the wall is not aligned with its parallel cleaning paths. Instead, it zigzags a bit back and fourth to try to follow it, but that means the edge brush keps coming away from the wall, leaving a wave pattern of unvacuumed dirt along the bottom edge of the wall.
The vacuum would be ok for $100, I am dissatisfied and think I’ll return it, the noise is just unbearable.
