Troubled robot vacuum-cleaner maker iRobot, abandoned by Amazon after regulators effectively doomed the web giant’s takeover offer, has warned investors it may not survive the next 12 months.

    Thank you. Funny enough it looks like I’ve already watched both of those videos last time I was looking into this. I’m comfortable soldering but it was yet another barrier to me actually making a purchase.

    I’ll check out Dreame, I have not heard much about them.

    I’ve had two Neato’s in the past and I really miss having one but I now live in a split-level house and the convenience factor drops down a lot when you have to carry it between floors all the time rather than just coming home to a freshly cleaned carpet.

      Roborock, Dreame and Xiaomi are functionally almost identical. Some of them even share the same parts.

      If you want to root them, get a Dreame or a Xiaomi. Most of them are rootable without disassembly, see the list linked above.
