Stay away from Schbot. Estonian company, but rebrands cheap alibaba crap at up to 10x the price.
Dyson was one of the arch brexiters. So I think crossing anything Dyson off the list for this community is probably appropriate.
I just found the one from Vorwerk, but my man is that thing expensive
Aren't Vorwerk robots rebranded Neatos?
They bought everything and developed it a few more steps. Check out neato-connected to keep Neatos going now that the servers are offline. https://github.com/Philip2809/neato-connected
Home assistant integration, neat.
Ive looked at endless tests and reviews but however you turn it, the european ones are simply underperforming and pricier.
I would go with a valetudo supported one now (sadly i did not) and just flash it to be free of the shitty software.
Are you familiar with https://valetudo.cloud/?
Valetudo is awesome.
It just chugs along.
Oh, no. Another rabbit hole :D
But a limited one. You do the flashing once.
When it is freed from it's manufacturer this way, there is usually no need anymore for connecting it to the internet, and therefore you may become rather lazy with updates.
Do you then still receive bug fixes or similar?
Ofc you can if you want.
You can flash updated images through Dustbuilder, as long as they are available on it.

Karcher Robot Vacuum, does not made in Germany, but in China. According my understand their mobile apps obey European laws.
I tried the Bosch. It's a rebranded Ecovacs with a new app that doesn't work.
I sent it back, couldn't even get it running because of the shitty app.
I'm stunned at how bad Bosch is at making consumer software. I like their tools, but I won't buy another one where I rely on an app.
Also with their tools. Bosch green are cheap, Chinese tools comparable to other cheap brands. Bosch blue are the higher quality things.
Their washing machines and dryers are also now plastic welded and non-repairable.
Everything is blue, my dear ๐
They let subcontractors do it.
It's also twice the price
None, but if you want to try one I can sell you cheap my Navon vacuum and mop (from spar). I don't use it because it's faster to do it myself than setting it up.
I dont reccomend karsher, that which was supposed to be anither Dyson. I have one, and my parents have cheap Chinese one, i dont see difference tbh
I have a Roborock. It's great, even mops the floor.
How is Roborock european?
