Quite a few have asked which robo vac I landed on, and (not sponsored!) I landed on the Dreame L40 Ultra. Under $500 on BF sale right now and has pretty much every modern feature you'd want. Only gripe is I wish it was shorter

@christianselig fwiw, we’re on our second replacement of this model 😅 watch for issues with the detergent container not getting a good seal and leaking out, and also make sure you push the dirty water tank down tight so it seals well.

If you get the “abnormal water level in the washboard” error, it’s either that seal, or something clogging the hose in the back of the mop cleaning area.

In general though, it’s been great, and performs far better than the Ecovacs models we’ve had in the past.

@ryan_graves god dammit. Thanks for the heads up lol

@christianselig If it helps, our current one has been in the house over a year. It might have been early production issues.

We like it enough that if something went wrong with this one we’d probably buy the same brand again (and maybe even the same model now that they’re so much cheaper).

@ryan_graves Oh, okay now I feel better lol!
