    Why buy from Gearbite, when you can get the same price from Roborock for s6 Max or S5 Max

    • TwinVader on 12/02/2021 - 21:53
      +3

      I think this is more a Dreame-centric offer with the S6/S5Max mentioned as a mere basis of comparison, Gearbite’s still had some of the best prices on Roborock historically when they’ve been on sale (unfortunately not atm, relatively speaking)

  • mudjr21 on 12/02/2021 - 15:31

    bought D9 about 2 months back from Gearbite $579 and now $399

    What a joke

      Same boat, looks like they are now matching Kogan prices.

    • thebossmel on 12/02/2021 - 16:07

      how would you rate D9? How's the battery life and suction?

      • Aydin on 12/02/2021 - 19:14
        +2

        I’m disappointed with the D9
        Firstly paid premium price approx $600 a few months back
        Secondly the map resetting every few days is absolutely frustrating. Has had the update applied but issue remains.
        Gets stuck somewhere, starts to reposition when I set it free and then fails to reposition so has to start the whole house again.
        Would not recommend the D9 and have actually had a few friends and family not buy it based on my experience with the RoboVac.

        Suction is good but battery life I’ve found is not sufficient for my house, approx 200 m2. Needs to come back to base to charge and then completes the job when it has enough charge

        • mudjr21 on 12/02/2021 - 21:27

          This is exactly happened at my house as well. Map resetting every 5 times

        • spasto on 13/02/2021 - 10:20

          The constant map reset sounds very much like my gen1 vacuum. Very disappointing.

        • ImpulseMan on 13/02/2021 - 15:14

          Piece of shit. Do not buy. Good suction but software crap, sensors always say they need cleaning, map resets.

          • ImpulseMan on 13/02/2021 - 16:40

            @ImpulseMan: They have offered an exchange or refund, which is great service at least. Let’s see how the process goes.

            I have to say today I was about to throw it out a window, hence the frustration of my post.

        • donm on 14/02/2021 - 08:59

          Damn. That's disappointing. Thanks for the heads up. 🙇‍♂️

        • pizzacracker on 14/02/2021 - 22:41

          i agree with your post too. the map resets every so often so it's frustrating. the suction is good and my battery life is decent so i'll keep it but i wish i had bought it at $399. how's your mopping function? i've used it only twice

          • Aydin on 15/02/2021 - 06:33

            @pizzacracker: I’ve had no issues with the mopping

            • kulprit on 15/02/2021 - 07:41

              @Aydin: It's your mop outputting very much water, like is the floor even damp behind it?

              • Aydin on 15/02/2021 - 07:49
                +1

                @kulprit: The different levels for the mopping function seems to be working well for me. Low settings gives me very little water on the mop and the high setting leaves my floorboards visibly wet. No issues with the mop. I use the mid level as I don’t want the floorboards getting wet.
                I have also used a replacement mop cloth, propeller and brush I purchased from AliExpress with no issue at all.

                The map resetting is the issue that makes me want to throw this thing out the window. Pretty useless if you can’t automate the cleaning process and have it clean the house when you’re in the office. Map resetting removes your virtual barriers, your no go zones, etc.

    • kulprit on 12/02/2021 - 20:22

      This is crazy. I did the same thing. And we all asked at the time for them to match Kogan and they went quiet.

    Is D9 any good?

    • TwinVader on 12/02/2021 - 21:50
      +1

      At launch it was somewhat frustrating as it lacks the refinement of the S5 Max while promising equivalent if not greater power/efficiency (especially on Carpets). Since the latest firmware and especially considering this price, it’s a very capable performer, if it was still at the approx. $550-$600 of launch, it’s a good if not great value alternative to the market leader like many other Xiaomi/Dreame products, at $399 it’s much better than an Ecovacs or almost any other name brand equivalent

  • ToonarmY on 12/02/2021 - 15:50
    +4

    Still seems pretty high for the S5 Max when they were going for under $550

    • pete8oes on 12/02/2021 - 18:54

    @Gearbite, can you please advise if the room mapping issue has been resolved with the Dreame D9?

    • EmployeeGearbite @ Gearbite on 12/02/2021 - 15:57

      Cureent firmware1039 fixed some map bugs, 3 maps firmware will be avaialble around early March.

      • kulprit on 12/02/2021 - 20:27

        I think some bugs is the operative word here. Still plenty of bugs and no movement in a while on the firmware front.

        No Google assistant support, or 3 maps. Sometimes the whole map gets lost. Sometimes it's just the virtual walls and no mop areas, so then you get nice wet carpet.
        I've also had it start, then 30 seconds later say it's finished and go back to the dock.

        I'm still hoping they fix everything as it all seems to be software. Weirdest thing is it always takes two presses of the start button on the vacuum to start a clean up.

        I've also found that the mopping attachment didn't put out anywhere near enough water. Even on its highest setting the floor is not even wet behind the mop. I was originally running it on low as we have wooden floors that shouldn't get too wet, but have upped it to high and I'm still not where I want to be.

        • Bargain Hunter 007 on 13/02/2021 - 12:36

          Yep, pretty frustrating having paid $579 on this 4 months ago, and foolishly bought on my AMEX so no shoppers protection.. didn't think it would lose so much value so quickly.

          Dud purchase :(

          • lplau on 13/02/2021 - 15:15

            @Bargain Hunter 007: Its ok, you only lost around $80 even if you had shoppers protection. As they usually don't accept prices for which are activated by coupon codes.

        • Hahuh on 19/02/2021 - 23:22

          Robot is probably in sleep mode hence the double tap for the power button. Mine takes a few second after pressing the button to start. Are you allowing it this time?

          It's recommended to wet the pad prior to starting the robot. I have a solution of sugar soap and water that I spray the pad first.

    • TwinVader on 12/02/2021 - 17:17

      OP means firmware 1072, 1039 was the prior update. It appears to resolve issue of device appearing in the wrong room after mapping is complete/between uses

    • F1Maniac on 12/02/2021 - 18:03

      For me it got worse after updates so sent it back

      • TwinVader on 12/02/2021 - 21:46

        Not my experience, firmware updates ironed out all the issues save for lack of multi-maps / Google home connectivity, but that’s good you were able to send it back….especially compared to Kogan who by some accounts haven’t even fulfilled orders yet.

        • F1Maniac on 13/02/2021 - 00:29
          +1

          It was effective robot for cleaning but it kept losing its position during clean sometimes and after updates 4 out of 5 times it started a new map when did a room or zone clean

          • TwinVader on 13/02/2021 - 07:26

            @F1Maniac: That’s a concerning anomaly, I haven’t experienced that yet, I did have some minor issues editing Area’s successfully due to the way the vacuum maps walls, but from what I’ve read this and issues such as you described arent confined to this model. Hopefully the March update brings more stability and features.

    • BigMac on 12/02/2021 - 17:12

      Does not matter which one came first. The only thing that matters is who sucks better

    • Noire on 12/02/2021 - 17:13

      The main thing you should be looking at is the sensor. Everyone here would likely go for the D9 because it uses LIDAR instead of VSLAM.

    • TwinVader on 12/02/2021 - 21:45
      +1

      D9 is the newer and more feature-rich but as others have said F9 is slightly slimmer due to lack of LIDAR unit, picked the D9 up at launch, it was frustrating with the initial firmware, but still performed admirably, especially with the automatic “Carpet Boost” mode. Since the recent update in late December, it’s been very consistent, in mopping and/or especially vacuum modes

    D9 is laser vs vslam on F9. F9 has a slightly lower profile for getting under beds (ensembles) but D9 has laser for faster and more accurate mapping.

      I will let you know when my D9 arrives. got the V2 pro for downstairs at the place i'm renting, just ordered the D9 for the carpeted upstairs.

      Tried using the V2 pro for the carpeted upstairs, if you use it regularly enough it will get out a decent amount of pet hair before it becomes a problem, but the single map feature of the V2 pro gets annoying so I'm just gonna keep it downstairs with the invisible walls and have the D9 upstairs.

      • Darwin on 12/02/2021 - 21:55

      Well you are supporting a Australian company.
      If you are not happy with Chinese items then you better stop buying EVERYTHING as it likely uses Chinese components and materials.

      The laptop or phone you are using to post on here would also be made in China or used Chinese minerals and materials to manufacture, which ultimately means you are supporting a Chinese company albeit quite a few degrees of separation.

      Funny how people still buy stuff from Harvey Norman when he launched the campaign to tax all imports into Australia. That's why you are paying GST 10% to international companies which isn't always guaranteed to be returned to Australian Government. Very badly thought out plan

      • DangerNoodle on 13/02/2021 - 13:40

        I don't mind paying $399 for a quality Chinese made product. I find the people who complain about paying $399 for a product made in China are also the people that would complain if it cost $1500-3000 from being made in Australia.

    • ddhar on 01/03/2021 - 08:49

      Would like to know this too.

      Ia the D9 enough for a 4 bedroom house (mix of carpets, wooden floor and tiles)? Also, can we add floor cleaner chemicals into the vacuum or is it strictly water-only?

      • BenK-Oz on 01/03/2021 - 22:56
        +2

        It is strictly water only
        It drags around a microfibre cloth and pumps water onto it from a tank
        It works great for regular moping
        If like going around by hand with a cloth

        Doesn't get too wet

        You need to take the mopping compartment if when doing carpets

        Because it doesn't use heaps of water it is good for wood and laminate floors
        Would need find on other floor tiles too

  • madturbo123 on 12/02/2021 - 22:50

    I bought the s5 max from Toby around the mid $500 and probably the best money I've spent. Recently I've added it to google assistance and it's been heaps better with voice control without having to go into the roborock app.

    Definately recommend the s5 max.

    https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/xiaomi-mi-1c-robot-vacuum-clean…

    Isn't this far, far, far, far better value compared to the Xiaomi Mi Robot 1st Gen? For an extra $9, you're getting a mopping function, and also much better suction (2500Pa compared to only 1800Pa)? Both are Xiaomi….

    What am I missing? Can I please have some guidance from anyone? I note the Kogan model is called "Xiaomi Mi 1C Robot Vacuum Cleaner" and is a "direct import" with "Kogan Warranty" (Which I assume is not very good), but at least it would still be covered under ACL, right?

      Xiaomi 1c uses VSLAM vs Xiaomi 1st gen uses LiDar or LDS.
      The equivalent to Xiaomi 1c would be Dreame F9 .
