Idea for your video... When you go to the overhead time lapse run a timer in the corner so we can see how it's doing compared to the time left. These are very interesting thanks for putting in the effort to make them!
Great, I was waiting for this! You should do theese tests with some older Roombas, like 400, 500 or 700 series, that would be cool to see, if they get simillar numbers. Also, try hang in testing room some curtain, some robot vacs also have problem with that.
Wife scored a Roomba 675 off an Amazon pallet, my first experience with a robovac. I’ve ran it daily for two months now, and I’ve had similar results. Sometimes it misses entire rooms if I manage to notice it. It will run an edge only so far then turn off randomly. If you ran this test over and over I bet you’d get constantly conflicting results just because of the random navigation.
So my issue with these - I've had at least 3 over the years, I spend so much time babysitting them that it's not worth it! If I had a square "testing room" I think it would be fine. But in a house with furniture, and lamp cords, etc... it tends to do the same area over and over while never getting other areas. One time, it never got out of a bathroom!! Just stayed in the little 3x6 powder room. For one of my roombas, I even bought many lighthouses. Had the darn things set up all over. It was still no better. have you tested the Shark RV995 or similar? Does it need more, or less, babysitting?
Don't babysit it at all. Just let it go. I was doing the same thing and then once I finally ignored it. I realized just how good they actually are. That take a lot longer than a traditional vacuum but you can have it going when your not home. It's not designed to get into deep corners. It's more of a daily clean.
Look at all those dirt detect events..... The dirt detect really kept interrupting the pathing, You can see it on the video. Normally dirt detect is great. In the real world, it focuses on the extra dirty spots. In this case, however, dirt detect really hurt it. It prevented it from going into one section. Seeing how much it still picked up, from the rest of the area, it almost looks like it may have picked up left overs in the carpet others left behind from previous tests. Unless, of course, you actually "clear the room" with a big "upright" vacuum between tests, then I'd be wrong. I'm here at home screaming at the bot to hit the lower left of the room, and it kept getting sidetracked by a dirt detect event, circle around and then go the opposite direction. If the bot had returned to it's original direction after the dirt event, it might have done better, but since the 692 is a random bot already, I doubt iRobot put that in their algorithm. But thanks for the video. Shows how one of iRobot's "features" can actually handicap it in a test environment. In my home, my robots have usually 5 or less dirt events per daily run. Not enough to really affect coverage.
You should end the 40 min limit its unfair. Let each run until they decide when its done and go home. These bounce around need extra time for reason you said they bounce around.
True, well, it is a bit unfair, if some lidar navigation robot needs just for example 10 minutes, and then ends the job and lefts lots of mess, but that's company's problem, that they made bad software/hardware.
Not sure that would have helped. Dirt Detect was the culprit this time. It interrupted the robot so many times, it completely missed a section of the room. The Eufy, by comparison would just pick up the dirt and continue forward. Dirt Detect is great for real world applications, but can be really a hindrance in this type of "stress" testing. Seriously, the Roomba looked like it had ADHD....look...dirty object!!!!...look another...!!!....
Weak suction had nothing to do with results of this test. Dirt Detect kept sidetracking the robot and basically caused it to avoid an entire section of the room.
Another awesome video on our awesome test room 😀😀. But check the idea from @Crazypostman. Is it hard for you to do the timer thing? I’ve tried an overhead view with my DJI gimbal following the vacuum robot and its awesome. You should try it one day. 👋👍🏻🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹

I always love waking up to a new video from Adam! 😊
I wish, but I have 6 hours difference 😆
@@SuperCarlosReis yea cuz you're from Portugal... 😆
@@MrBlueCreeper Yes, when I wake up at 8h, it’s 3am there lol 😂

The music fits perfectly :)

Please don’t forget my good old 675, which is 5 stars with carpets. It’s like the bulldozer of carpets 😂😂

Just bought a 692. I'm noticing there isn't a charging indicator on my unit. Should there be? Wondering if something is wrong.

Can you test in the testing room the Neabot Nomo
Roomba doing figure 8’s. 😂
Adam can you please give the shark ai another chance
It moved the dog shit 😂

Hi
1:05 is that dog shit? 🙃

I can do longer but 40 minutes for a smaller area should be plenty
@@AdamsReviews You're absolutely right. Dirt Detect killed it for this test though....
@@williamthomas6106 Yeah I agree. Can't wait for the Eureka Groove!
Are we just gonna ignore that big pile of shit that’s on the floor?
wow
Random mode very bad. Straight line is perfect.
Is that a shit?
Not one comment about the dog poop on the floor?? I can't watch the rest in this video and take this seriously.
You wouldn’t vacuum dog poop anyway.
The 600 series has weak suction resulting in poor hard floor performence
Think again it works in carpets. (harder to clean)
All Roombas do great work even on hard floors, and they don't need huge suction power, but yep, Roombas with stronger suction motor do a bit better.
Weak suction had nothing to do with results of this test. Dirt Detect kept sidetracking the robot and basically caused it to avoid an entire section of the room.
@@williamthomas6106 okay that makes sense

I might try that. For the timer do you just want to know how long it’s running
@@AdamsReviews Adam, actually we know that the total vacuum time is 40 minutes, but we could check the evolution in real time for example.
