Robot Vacuum Keeps Getting Stuck (Viomi S9)

Pineapples on 03/08/2021 - 22:37

Hi all,

I picked up the viomi S9 when it was on sale. Does a great job but compared to my old Xiaomi bot it gets stuck alot. I'm having trouble with it getting stuck under the couch almost every clean. I tried the magnetic strip I had with my Xiaomi bot but it doesn't seem to be compatible - it just ignores it.

Have stuck towels under the entertainment unit because it keeps getting stuck there as well.

Any suggestions are appreciated!

    Any chance you can raise the height of the couch for the vacuum to move freely?

      It's a big corner suite. Unfortunately can't change the height, but thanks for the suggestion

    What are you doing StepRoboVac?

    Can you add a restricted area around where it keeps getting stuck (should be under under map management on the app)?

      Agreed - either place a restricted area or use a virtual wall and you should be good.
      At times, I find mine sometimes getting stuck on the base of the bar stools but otherwise has been pretty good

    Take it back and get a Roborock. That was my solution

    If it’s only getting stuck on the corners you could screw a black rubber door stop to the lounge on the underside.
