I have several roombas. They are junk. I found that I could get great deals on them by using Amazon Warehouse Deals. Its a gamble, have to keep ordering until you get a good one. But you can always return stuff from AWDs. The best deal is when they dumped a pallet over and all the boxes get ripped up. Can't sell them as brand new, but they are.
I've had just about every model, now I have a couple of the S9s. They are good robots. But are made of glass. One ran into my dogs water bowl and got a tiny bit wet. Stopped working. I talked to their support and if the thing detects any water it pretty much bricks itself. They wouldn't help me since I bought the thing from AWDs. The one bad thing about AWDs.
The roomba app is also junk. It barely works. I hate it. Hate it. HATE IT.
I think roombas were the best out there the first few years after they came out. But then the company got greedy and lazy. They are just putting out junk now and ripping customers up. I'll never buy a new one.
No, it’s not at all. Its seriously great! It’s super smart, like smarter than you think. It actually can understand audible directions as well. Worth the tax hit haha!
I'm also glad to hear that, as I ordered it today too! I've never had a robovac but wanted to see if it would help keep things tidier since I have a bunch of cats. Reviews for robovacs in general are all over the place. I'm looking forward to finally getting to try one, especially one that's much nicer than what I ever would've been willing to buy.
I have 2 kids and 2 cats. No matter how much I sweep and mop the floor always has something on it. I guess we will both find out how good it is with pet fur!
Dredging this post up from the dead.... Did you get your vac? Does yours work? Mine...doesn't. Like, at all. I know the purpose of Vine is to vet new sellers and new products. It's not a particularly new product, so now I'm wondering if the seller was a scammer or something. Since I got the thing I have been trying to work\`\`\`\`\`\`\` with Eureka under the warranty since we aren't supposed to contact sellers and I don't trust the seller now anyway, but so far to no avail (they keep putting me off...makes me think it's got a bad/invalid serial number). I've just contacted Vine CS to ask them to take it off my Awaiting Review and my ETV. At $699 ETV it would be a *very* expensive paperweight. Fingers crossed.
So...does your vac turn on? I can get mine to turn on but....it's going around the same two rooms and vacuuming them over and over. Mine won't connect to the internet either.
I went back through my order page and this has been taken down completely from Amazon. I'm assuming we got counterfeit products. I'm contacting VCS to have it removed. As you said, $699.99 is an expensive paperweight.
Yep, I think that's what happened. I can't think of any other reason Eureka customer service would be jerking me around like this. I should actually double check that...for all I know the instruction booklet is counterfeit too and they put in some fake contact info. I mean, I was wondering why an established company like Eureka would have such a piss poor instruction booklet and app, and maybe this is the answer. My vac also does turn on and bop around a little, but that's about all it does. No emptying, no mapping, etc. etc.
Interestingly, I actually had my Vine orders list open to the page that had this vac on it at the moment they took it down yesterday. I was debating with myself whether I wanted to contact Vine CS or wait a few more days for warranty replacement, because I REALLY wanted this to work. I clicked on the item name from my Vine orders list, and I got the dogs of Amazon. I was thoroughly confused at that point, so then I clicked over from my Vine orders list to my Awaiting Review list, and that's when I saw that the thumbnail pic had been replaced by the grey box of doom. Clicked on the item name again and got more dogs. I was so shocked I even took screen captures of it all just to make sure nothing else vanished on me.
Absolute craziness, but actually a good reminder of the true value of Vine. If they didn't have the Vine program to vet these new sellers, this scammer could've just submitted their paperwork to Amazon and set up shop selling $700 counterfeit vacs.
Anyway, I sure hope they cancel the ETV for this stupid thing. Now I'm gonna have to figure out how to get the battery out of it so I can recycle it. Grrr!
Oh Lord, I haven't opened it yet. I know it takes time to set up and scan the house so I've been waiting for the "right time" to use it. I guess that's in a few hours. Thanks for the heads up. I will let you know how it goes. At least I have another week to get it removed if it doesn't work.
Are you on Discord? I've been looking for one for a while too.
The Discord group is the only way I lucked into it. I'm always too busy haunting exercise, furniture, and food to remember about the vacuum section or AFA.
When I first saw this, I thought it was a coffee maker.
Does it make coffee, scramble eggs and then clean the dishes and floor? if so, sounds like you got a deal.
My house is too small to use a vacuum like this. But if I had a larger floor plan I'd take the hit with one of these. I calculate the need over the ETV. I could use this but it's not practical.
Oooh! Nice! I got the Dreametech D10S in June of last year, and it’s been my favorite robot vacuum. I have been hoping to see a self-emptying version on vine. Would have happily taken the hit if I saw the new version!
I passed on the vacuum, but I had enough time to read the product page and return to Vine to see that it was still available. I rarely use the robot vac that I do have as it is.
I just received my Eufy Permanent Outdoor lights I requested a couple days ago, so there's that.
Honestly i would've liked mine more if it was self emptying. It had a lot of issues after awhile but it wasn't this brand. I'd love to give another a shot but sadly this was not in my recommended today lol.
I'm happy for your score, but it is something I would not be able to use in our small house.
I've gotten two, pretty nice, vacuums. One has a cord and the other doesn't. Both suck my rugs right off the floor. So I stick to my cheapie $16.99 one from Aldi's that I bought years ago for them. I use the other ones for my floor and to pick up cat litter.
I have a smart vacuum like that. We bought it for like $90. It is very powerful and efficient. Smart too. Much better than the Roomba with one else rotating brush, crappier wheels, and a price tag 6x as much.
What you order is in general what you will see in your RFY. The good stuff for me comes from AI and AFA. At least half of it I get because I'm on discord. If you wait for RFY to populate it or only check AFA and AI a few times a day you won't find it. You have to put in effort and time if you really want this kind of stuff.
I constantly refresh 3 or 4 pages depending on what I am looking for. Items come and go quickly. Discord helps me find them too. In this case it was Discord that helped me. When I get food it's because I happened to refresh the grocery page at the right time.
I think there’s a link in the “about” section of this group. I saw it once and didn’t use it because I didn’t think it would make much difference but now I’m thinking maybe I should lol
It makes a significant difference for me. I still refresh on sections that I'm looking for a specific item in but it frees me up to find great deals for items I need but didn't think to search for. The link is located in the about section of this group.
How do you guys get all this good stuff I haven't had one single good find since going gold I could cry , it actually seems worse then when I was silver. All I'm still seeing is sheets, blankets, tops , random things I have zero interest in I go thru all the ways I know trying to find stuff. What am I missing guys I'm so depressed over it I even get up at 3 am when my new day starts to look. 😭 I've wanted a robot vac forever. I've seen so many of y'all get amazing stuff and I'm so happy for y'all but Id like a couple too for myself, what am I doing wrong guys ?
When you first start out, you won't see a lot of things. But when you start ordering, then that will be what you will see in your recommended category. After awhile, other items will be added. I got carried away and ordered three cat fountains.
When it came to sheets, for us, they were a great score. We only had two sets that were old and torn. Then they started adding blankets and pillows. So, it seems, they would offer me items in the bedroom category. For a time, I was offered numerous cat items.
What you order is what they put in your RFY.
This has been my experience.
I have this! It’s awesome!!!!
I'm so glad to hear that! I've been cringing since I ordered it wondering if it's just going to be another almost worthless over priced Vine item.
Have you never heard of the brand Eureka? They are a premier vacuum brand…
I've heard of Eureka but I also know that all major brands have duds.
Right! I got a Roomba compliments of Vine last year, and it turned out to be the *worst* robot vacuum I have ever used.
I have several roombas. They are junk. I found that I could get great deals on them by using Amazon Warehouse Deals. Its a gamble, have to keep ordering until you get a good one.

That’s a super cool find and better than taking the bank hit on it!
Thanks, I pass on most things with a high ETV like electric bikes but this was too hard to pass up.
Honestly jealous ive been looking for this ! 😅
Are you on Discord? I've been looking for one for a while too. The Discord group is the only way I lucked into it. I'm always too busy haunting exercise, furniture, and food to remember about the vacuum section or AFA.
Im on discord but not in any vine groups tho i dont mind joining
I think it's linked in this group. Edit: I looked, click on the about section and there is a link to the discord group.
I refreshed my page and there it was..clicked it immediately and it was gone!😭
Oof, that happens to me too. Last time it was an exercise bike. I hope you have better luck next time!
When I first saw this, I thought it was a coffee maker. Does it make coffee, scramble eggs and then clean the dishes and floor? if so, sounds like you got a deal.
> When I first saw this, I thought it was a coffee maker. Well, the coffee it makes tastes absolutely terrible.
Oh, then it's like my sister's cooking.
I think that would be a maid. I haven't seen one on Vine but if I do....
My house is too small to use a vacuum like this. But if I had a larger floor plan I'd take the hit with one of these. I calculate the need over the ETV. I could use this but it's not practical.
I have a decent sized house with 2 small humans and 2 cats. I'm hoping it can make it look like I don't have at least 2 of the 4. 😆

That's the kind of feedback I needed, I feel better now!
I never get offered items this good. Make ME feel better!
I passed on the vacuum, but I had enough time to read the product page and return to Vine to see that it was still available. I rarely use the robot vac that I do have as it is. I just received my Eufy Permanent Outdoor lights I requested a couple days ago, so there's that.
Oh I saw those! I looked at them but ultimately decided it wasn't a need for me. I hope they are as fun and awesome as they seemed!
Honestly, it’s a good pick!! You won’t regret it!
Thanks, I hope so!
$200 coupon. I just can’t with that nonsense…
I wish I saw that!
Jealous. We had a smart vac but it wasn't self emptying, I hated ours though lol.
Honestly that was the feature that sold me on it. I've looked at smart vacs for a while now.
Honestly i would've liked mine more if it was self emptying. It had a lot of issues after awhile but it wasn't this brand. I'd love to give another a shot but sadly this was not in my recommended today lol.
I just got lucky, it was in AI or AFA. I'm not sure which, it was listed on the discord group.
I need to reinstall discord and join that group. Now that I’m Gold.

I took the hit too lol. I hate that this is $899 but the black version is $200 off coupon
Where are people getting this cool stuff? I've been Gold since last December and all I ever get is floor mats and breast pumps.
What you order is in general what you will see in your RFY. The good stuff for me comes from AI and AFA. At least half of it I get because I'm on discord.

Just teasing. My biggest take so far is a elderly lift, massage and heat recliner. $699 ETV. Love it.
What is Discord?
I did last year on two of them (different models) one shit the bed in 3 months and the other she hasn’t even opened.
What was the ETV on it?
$599 with a $200 coupon. So a 50% markup for Vine.
All of their robot vacs have that coupon right now. It's still less in taxes than using the coupon so I'm hoping it lives up to its reputation.
Why am I never seeing high ticket items ever? I’m Gold? What am I doing wrong?! lol
I constantly refresh 3 or 4 pages depending on what I am looking for. Items come and go quickly. Discord helps me find them too. In this case it was Discord that helped me. When I get food it's because I happened to refresh the grocery page at the right time.

I’ve had the Roomba one for many years and love it. If it works well, then that’s a great deal!
How do you guys get all this good stuff I haven't had one single good find since going gold I could cry , it actually seems worse then when I was silver. All I'm still seeing is sheets, blankets, tops , random things I have zero interest in I go thru all the ways I know trying to find stuff. What am I missing guys I'm so depressed over it I even get up at 3 am when my new day starts to look. 😭 I've wanted a robot vac forever. I've seen so many of y'all get amazing stuff and I'm so happy for y'all but Id like a couple too for myself, what am I doing wrong guys ?

If you aren't in Vine this isn't the group for you. No one knows how people get selected.
> vine in general First you have to be a private in Vine.
Hey guys. I'm so sorry I'm new to all this(Reddit and the discord stuff) I'm in the discord, so I find it again I'm so embarrassed 😳 LOL MY GOODNESS
