Is I3 great for 3 dogs??? Lots of short pet hair!! Which one do you recommend?? Black Friday deal but so many choices....confusing. also vs. Deebot 500
Hello, I like your videos very much, even if my English is unfortunately not very good 👍 I fluctuate between the i7 (voice control and rubber roller good for hair? But in the tests rather behind Roborock & Ecovacs), the t8 without AIVI (voice control , good navigation, automatic carpet detection, but the app is not that good) and the Roborock s6 MaxV (good app, lots of software updates, reliable, but the filter is more difficult to clean than on the t8 and what about long hair? I currently prefer but rather the s6 MaxV before the t8 and the i7. What do you think as a professional? which ranking for the 3 models? Greetings
I would rate the I the Top in regards of pet hair pickup and easy removal. Can't wash the filter which is possible on the S6 Max V. The T8 has every possible feature, self emptying system, vibrating mopping system. The S6 Max V has the best navigation. So it depends on what features you are looking for.
@@RobotMasters okay, than with long hair (human hair) would the t8 be more suitable? Can the filter of the t8 be cleaned? Then the t8 would be more suitable than the S6 MaxV? and what about the Roomba i7? is the t8 better because it is newer? Many greetings
@@XxBSExX All 3 robots can pickup long hair. I found the i7 dual extractor bar the easiest to remove the long hair. The T8 has the most features over the other two robots. You can clean the filter on the T8 but usually needs replacement every 3-6 months depending on how often you use the robot.
I am debating between the i3 and e5. I am not too worried about the difference in price, but I have seen the e5 on many lists of best Roombas whereas I didn't see the i3 on any. However, the multidirectional pattern and restart ability of the i3 interest me. Sidenote I do have pets. Can you offer your advice? Thank you!
As a pet owner, you would probably benefit from the self emptying bin and a more systematic cleaning pattern. The e5 and i3 use the same cleaning mechanics so same cleaning performance.
It really depends what you are looking for. The non AIVI T8 seemed better at recognizing objects than the T8 AIVI, but Ecovacs representative says overtime the T8 AIVI should do better. The AIVI has the live camera streaming and one way audio transmission. Everything else is the same.
Between the Two it really depends on what you are looking for. The T8 has the Lidar navigation which it allows it to clean effectively in complete darkness amzn.to/3l2F4G0 The i3 is good if you have a very messy floor plan. Can handle a lot dirt and debris. Also the dual extractor bar does a good job picking up hair and very easy to clean. Here a few other recommendations too. If you want the best navigation the Roborock S6 MaxV is on sale amzn.to/361HgcG The S5 Max is cheaper and for goes the front camera but offers similar cleaning performance. amzn.to/3pSWUzb The Ecovacs T8 non aivi is a little cheaper but doesn't use a front camer for object avoidance. Also can't be used as a mobile security camera of have one way audio to speak to your pets when you are away. The T8 AIVI has all of those things Lastly the Ecovacs T8 series supports a vibrating mopping module and self emptying system.
@@RobotMasters I meant the 8t+ as right now is on sale for $450 and the i3+ for $400 I do have cabinets and what not but I see that the i3+ bumps on to everything from what I have seen.
Hi, Nathan, thank you for making these videos. I bought a Yeedi on your rec as my first robot vaccum, and how I am hooked. I noticed you have light (cold air in the winter) coming under your front door. Maybe you have tried to adjust this, but your doorsill appears to have adjustments to help fix this. With the door open you should see flat head screw features, turn those and the sill should move up, sealing the gap.
please suggest which one to buy this prime day : Roborock : S6 $419 S5 max $439 S6 pure $400 T8+ with auto empty - $450 Sharq IQ with self empty - $335
It depends on what you are looking for. The S5 Max and Roomba are my top pics. The T8 AIVI offers a lot features like security camera and vibrating mopping system.
It can clean in complete darkness, keep in mind if there new furniture and obstacles the robot may get confused since it no longer relying on it camera to reorient itself
Hi Nathan, I need your help. My sisters birthday is coming up in February and I need help choosing which robot would be best for her. Her house is mainly hardwood with a few small area rugs, has 2 floors, and is about 1700 square feet. I have chosen that I want to give her the Braava M6, but I am not sure what robot vacuum would be best for her. I have narrowed it down to 2, the Roomba i3, Samsung Powerbot r7040. I am on a budget of under $350 for the vacuum, since the rest of the money will be spent on the braava jet. Because you know more than I do, if there is another robot under $350 that you think would be better, that would be helpful. She does not care about the braava jet connecting to the robot, but she does what smart mapping. Thank you!
So I been using the Roborock S4 Max, Roborock latest model that was released. With the Roborock models you get smart mapping and the Max version allows better multi level support, something that important since she has two levels. It currently on sale $90 off amzn.to/3mOyLXx Now the i3 is something you were looking at. Keep in mind there no smart mapping aka being able to tell the robot to clean a certain room or area. You also don’t get keep out zones via the app, have to use the light house. If you can forgo the smart mapping than the i3+ is a good robot that you can add a self cleaning option latter on. So another recommendation that would be good for your sister’s floor plan is 360 s7 amzn.to/3aC6UYi Offers the smart mapping and multi floor support. Also the 360 models have very good navigation and reliability. I owned the 360 for several years without issues, and been using the 360 s9. The S9 is more expensive but since you are planning on getting a braava jet, the mopping on the S9 not necessary, so the s7 a better choice. So those are the two robots I recommend that have good and easy to use multi level floor support, have good cleaning performance and navigation abilities. Lastly has all the smart mapping features you will need.
The i3 just got a smart mapping update this week that lets you clean by room, still no keep out zones though. That's the only difference between the i3 & i7 now
I'm curious, if you pick up and move the i3 while its cleaning, is it still able to find its base? It seems like that would cause a problem given how it navigates.
Would like to see a direct comparison between i3 (without the empty bin system) and the 960, specifically focused on navigation and cleaning completion.
The navigation is very similar, only main difference is if you physically move the 960 the robot has the ability to relocate it self and figure out where it is at. The E3 uses gyroscopes so it can't update it location. The cleaning performance and mechanics are similar, the 960 has the vacuum motor in the dust bin. I think it has higher airflow than the e3 but can't test that.
@@RobotMasters Thank you! I've been looking at the Neabot NoMo as well, since it's $424 right now, and I like the lidar and nav on it. . . But conflicted because of availability and 3rd party support for Roombas is superior. . .
@@RobotMasters Thank you! I think I'm getting a new i3+ (with the empty bin system) as soon as Best Buy opens this morning. I am impressed with the navigation even without the camera or radar. It's smart enough for my usage.
Not understanding the new software. You used to be able to set it to return to base when the bin is full. Now you just have the option to continue or stop with a full bin.
Was this on auto setting or 2-pass? If I had this robot, for regular use, I think I would do 1-pass so it runs for a shorter time, and then do that as frequently as necessary.
The i4 only has static mapping which allows the robot to know where the charger is, know where it clean and where it needs to clean and provide a cleaning report. Unfortunately you can't interact with the map aka tell the robot to clean a certain room. Those features are reserved for the i7 and up.
@@RobotMasters I will look into the i8+ thanks for relying. Also do you find that the roombas scratch your hardwood floor at all? I heard specifically the i7/i8 and 960 have scratched some floors.
@@juliedo5435 Yes robots can scratch certain floors, especially if their extractor bars get very dirty. There a few that use suction only ports or a foam style extractor bar which are gentle on delicate floors.
Please do a review comparison of the new SHARK IQ XL self emptying bin that just came out in September. I just upgraded and it can vacuum 1hr and 40 minutes! They also improved their app! Got it on Amazon Prime Day last week for $334! Still cheaper and still out performs the Roomba!
@@RobotMasters I think with all these robots you have, you mind as well buy the new Shark IQ XL to compare against the i3 plus, i6, i7, i8 and i9. See who wins your robot’s hear desire.
It really depends on what you are looking for. The S6 Max V has the best navigation, T8, 960 and 960 has the active carpet avoidance and sensor, lastly the i7+ has the best self emptying system. Let me know what type of floor plan you have and I can help narrow it down.
Hmm the i3 might be the better buy especially at a deal if $399. amzn.to/3nUgNEa The 980 doesn't offer the self emptying system, and the i3 uses the same cleaning system as the more expensive i7.
Thanks for the corrections, I believe the e5 only has the acoustic sensor to detect dirt. I forgot that the 675 had wifi as well. I realised there no dirt bin full sensor on the e5 model. Will double check all the facts next time, went off memory.
All the dustbin are interchangeable, the self emptying system will charge the other models if physically placed on there, but the robot won't automatically go to the self emptying station nor self empty.
Robot Masters what if you set the ROOMBA e5 in one room where it will do a cleaning run and the only charger is the self-emptying bin? With the i7 dustbin, what will it do?
Any advice for if this would work on a fairly smooth painted concrete floor in my shop. I've got a big area and it gets lost of dust accumulation. I think I need a self-emptying vacuum that will keep the large floor clean while I'm away.
Loved this video had been wondering on i3+ vs i7+ and this helped me see i3 in action.

No it will get confused. Only the 960 and higher end models can relocate
BTW...I got my i3 and it really is great. still need to know if I can start it out in another room and just push clean...?
