Been on the lookout for a deal and came across this today. JB Commercial membership required of course (check with your employer or superfund for access), but seems like a reasonable price at moment. Other options at present are the Dreame L10s $1800, which is probably just as good and saves some coin.

—-prod. blurb as follows:

Key Features

  • HyperForce Suction
  • DuoRoller Riser Brush
  • 6-in-1 Hands-Free RockDock
  • VibraRise 2.0 Mopping Systems

          This. Got my Roborock S5 Max for 500 bucks a few years ago.

          Apart from paying more in a robovac for an auto empty vacuum and mop tank, the mark-up on Roborock is ridiculous these days.

          Let's just hide everything behind "AI" and jack the price up.

            @adrianhughes1998: same - the s5 max has been fine, although defs have gone over cables and gotten stuck, gotten stuck on a few other things

            Would only really change for the auto lift of the mop over carpet/auto empty dock

            • adrianhughes1998 on 07/09/2023 - 10:25

              @MustardKetchup: This, the auto-lift of mop is a must-have I'd say to make things even easier, but the AI detection of turds and wiring and other obstacles isn't really needed. A want more than a must-have.

          I like your translation. Haha

          I'm just hanging to replace my 8 year old robot with a robot that has the oscillation mop and empty dock, but they price those festures as a huge premium.

          Every other feature is just white noise of a standard vacuum

      I too thought that'd be the strategy — until I learned JB HiFi stopped restocking, so the only major retailer that will carry it is Harvey Norman. Counting on them to not monopolise their position is like expecting water not to be wet.

      JB HiFi did a June final genuine clearance at ~$1800 (you could stack discount with gift card etc to make it cheaper). Thankfully I picked up the last 'ex-demo' (actually was still in box) from them in July but there was only 1 other unit in whole of Victoria left.

      No, but if you calculate your hourly rate, say $70 an hour, then after only 31 hours you will break even. Imagine running this thing for a few years, you are practically MAKING money

    is the $2k difference worth it vs what the $199 (got one) dreame can do?

    • zorodluffy on 07/09/2023 - 09:15

      it sucks better

    • JavaTheDog on 07/09/2023 - 09:52

      Definitely worth. Pretty much you spent $2k to buy yourself plenty of time of freedom.

      Consider how much time you need to spend on vacuuming and mopping. You can decide if you choose that time of freedom or $2k. Everyone is different.

      • Farrba on 07/09/2023 - 11:18

        so the $199 dreame cant do majority of what this $2k vacuum does?

        • JavaTheDog on 07/09/2023 - 15:42
          +1

          Nah I upgrade from Roborock S5 to New Ecovacs. I have a large dog at home. I used my Roborock for just vacuum in the last 5 years, no issues.

          But since upgrading, now it vacuums and mops my whole house regularly, automatically fills the tank, and disposes the dirty water to drain. I just need to change the dust bag every few months. Compared to old roborock, it vacuums much cleaner as well.

          So if you spent $2k and it does all that, I personally think the time it saved for me is much more expensive than $2k.

  • Onemoredeal on 07/09/2023 - 09:17

    • Denbo on 07/09/2023 - 09:59

      Was tempted to do the same. L20 looks to set a new benchmark and the likes of the S8 will probably start to see more discounting.

      • Mazozb on 07/09/2023 - 11:09

        How is it setting a new benchmark? I can see the twin rotating / extending mop is main difference. Anything else?

        • Anubizz on 07/09/2023 - 11:12

          Edge mop cleaning and option to integrate to home plumbing so you never need to refill the clean water and empty the waste water.

    I don't see it for this price. The price I get is $2,408.97. Am I doing something wrong?

    • Denbo on 07/09/2023 - 10:06

      Seen this reported a few times. Not sure how JBCommercial does its pricing, but it must be linked to the deal they established with the relevant business. I got mine through ART member benefits.

    For this price, I seriously expect it will be able to dump the rubbish in the bin and drag my rubbish bins out to the kerb on the council rubbish collection days and take them back when empty, do regular bin washing and greet me when I come home lolz

  • Dr-Bargain on 07/09/2023 - 11:15

    I bought my S6 for about $600 and it's still going strong. Paying $2,243.23 to do the same thing is ridiculous in my opinion

    For a less-expensive model that vacuums well, mops, and auto-empties its dock, consider Roborock Q7 Max+.

    https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/364044490584

    I bought one two days ago for $849 after using vouchers.

    I know it's super expensive but I have this and its really been a lifesaver since we have young kids. Had the eufy hybrid before and that was an absolute joke as it gets stuck everywhere and have to manually swap out the mop pad which ends up just being a wet cloth dragged around.

    • nicolascage on 07/09/2023 - 12:20

      This is where the real saving is. If you have a larger floor space and family you’re saving a couple of hours every week.

  • RADICALIST on 07/09/2023 - 16:40

    You people complaining must love cleaning/mopping your own homes. I have S7 Ultra MaxV and it is the best money spent. I set it up to vac twice a week and vac/mop twice a week. My floors are always spotless.

    • Lucille Bluth on 07/09/2023 - 16:56

      People are complaining about the price, not the product. I'm sure the product functions well and is amazing.

      My $500~ Roborock S5 Max Robot does a good job too, my house is spotless and with a dog and cat. It's not hard to empty the bin, it's barely any effort, especially if you position it next to your bin. Yes the mop is a nice upgrade, but I don't walk around with shoes in house, and it's not all that much effort. The mop function on mine is good enough, and I do a proper mop every 3 months, if that same as probably you would to get into all the corners. Or quick zip around with a spray mop.

      I'll consider the upgrade once it goes below $1K price point, or get a second hand one. Otherwise I'm fine with what I have, as I am sure others would be too. Roborock prices are ridiculous now.

    • iironhide on 08/09/2023 - 19:02

    I wouldn't have expected my first post/comment to be about a vacuum, but here I am.

    I've had the S8 Pro Ultra for a month now and I hesitated for a while before buying because of the price. But, after using it everyday, multiple times a day, any reservations I had have gone.

    With 4 young kids, here's my top likes (no particular order):

    • It washes the mop at whatever interval I prefer and, when it's finished cleaning, it quietly dries the mop so there's no 'wet dog' smell.
    • It's been hands off - just empty the dirty water and refill the clean water tank. The dock bag is a decent size too - not even half full for me.
    • I can tailor the suction power for each room (handy when I want it to run quietly past baby's room)
    • The hair tangle on the rollers has been non-existent! I love my Miele Cat and Dog, but the hair tangle and subsequent time cutting and cleaning is a pain.
    • We try to do a good tidy every night before we run the vac, but there's still the odd obstacle. It picked up a really small dinosaur toy once, but besides that, we've never had any issues.
    • It's been handy with Google Assistant: I tell it to clean the dining room after kids' snack time and off it goes.

    For the price, I'm making sure I use it as much as I can while it's under the 2 yr warranty. Hasn't missed a beat so far and love coming down to a spotless floor every morning.
