It is not the cheapest. I posted it just in case someone is looking for one.
This is a 4000Pa model and one of the most popular cheap robot vacuums on OzBargain. I personally use this, and it has been going well for the last nine months.
CamelCamelCamel.
Care to elaborate?
Your comment is absolute junk unless you back up what your are saying with cold hard facts.
I'm actually very curious whether these stack up at all against the favourably reviewed yet far more expensive devices and comments like yours are just such a waste of time.
Please mate do better.
We think ours is great, navigates a big complex floor plan and does a good job of sweeping up and light mopping,
Thanks!
That's not backing up your comment.
That's saying it's trash but go find the proof yourself. Most comments here right now are pretty positive on the vacuuming front bar it not really getting into corners and the mopping isn't great. But it's a $220 device. The urguable king the Roborock Ultra Max V 8 is at LEAST 10x that amount.
Do you actually own one or have used one? If it's junk please send it to me I will try it out.
Thanks anyway for getting back to me.
Go find previous posts, mate and the story will be there.
A lot of ozbargainers here did the same like you, never tried never owned and said they are junk or they compare it with $2000 unit.
@superforever: I got one with the base from eBay, ended up getting it free after the seller never responded to the complaint
Some foolish people equate price to quality. I get the same unenlightened comments when $99 commercial blenders come up when people think they need to spend on a Vitamix for quality which is laughable.
There's expensive
There's inexpensive
There's cheap
There's value for money.
They're all different things.
In my opinion if it does a job of vacuuming, and your house is generally cleaner than it was before the vacuuming, then for $220 it's value for money, not junk. Junk is paying $220 and it actually just does not work at all.
I agree clubhonda. To be fair if the poster actually owns and uses one and explains why they think it's junk it's a totally different story.
I disagree.
I have left comments and reviews elsewhere. Please check if interested.
;-)
:)
I bought one of these last November, and liked it so much I bought another one for my upstairs level, and a third for my elderly parents, who also love it. Incredible value, reliable and does a great job. Highly recommended.
Anyone used this with the separate self empting dock? Any good?
yeah, i got them both a couple of weeks ago and so far so good. I used to fill up a Dream V11 twice while vacuuming my place (lots of dust) but now i only fill it up about 1/3.
The vacuum hasn't failed to find its dock yet, and the suction on the dock seems strong enough to clean the vacuum out. It did clog up the first time I did a full house vacuum but that's only becaus there were so many dust bunnies in places that I can't normally hit with the handheld. Hasn't clogged since.
What is it's mapping like skooter?
Does it clean the same parts multiple times or miss out certain areas? Obstacle avoidance? Can you set it to clean the kid's rooms after mapping and be pretty assured of a clean kids room after it's finished for example?
You can set it to clean once or twice.
Yep it's been good. The vac doesn't have a sensor to know when it's full though, and if it overfills it can't get sucked off properly by the dock. I now just do selection cleaning and set it for a couple of rooms at a time so it goes back and shoots its load into the dock before it gets full.
You use colourful language
We got one for my wife's studio and it always stops inches in front of the dock.
That said, she's not tried moving the dock yet.
I have self-emptying docks on both my units. They work great.
We've had this combo since black friday last year. It works well once you learn to save back up copies of maps.
No pets In our house so cannot comment on how effective it is with hair.
Our house is just under 300m2, mostly carpet. The vacuum can manage about half on a charge. It works effectively but doesn't quite get into the corners
The mop function does a great job of spreading the kitchen and bathroom muck on the floor out evenly. I usually have to get the steam mop out to finish the job.
All in all, it has served as an excellent introduction to robovacs.
Online support from lubluelu has been excellent also.
Thanks!
When I wrote combo I meant the vacuum plus auto empty docking station.
I can’t seem to figure out how to save the map…..
I got caught out not saving the map - now I'll do it periodically just in case it decides to forget (annoyingly the old maps appear in the cleaning history but there's no way to restore from there)
(annoyingly the old maps appear in the cleaning history but there's no way to restore from there)
You can save several maps and use whatever you want.
Just go to settings, Room Map Manage, that is how I select map for upstairs and downstairs
I've had this unit and the auto empty dock since March. My first robot vac.
It's not failed me. Used every day ground level and every now and then on second level.
Haven't replaced brushes yet. According to the app, they've still got 20% life left on them.
Have dogs in the house and it picks up hairs no problems. Have it mop every now and then and honestly it's impressive for the price.
This is a great bit of kit.
My experience is the same with both mine. Great unit for the money.
If you want the dock also, is this a better deal? https://www.amazon.com.au/lubluelu-Robot-Vacuum-Combo-SL60PL…
Yes comes to $260 with the emptying dock. Great value and great item.
Where does $260 come from?
$360 I presume: $400 - 10%.
I think they meant $360 - there's a 10% off voucher available.
Is it the same model ? SL60plus vs sl60Dplus
Yes as far as I can see it is the SL60D. See the image down the bottom "What's in the box"
Would this be better value for $20 extra? not sure if it is record low https://www.amazon.com.au/Lubluelu-Cleaner-Navigation-Editab…
Interested to know too. Seems way better-specced for just an extra $20.
Can I ask if this can be setup as vacuum only or mop only? I own an expensive one but always Mop and Vacuum together which is annoying.
Yes. You can.
Great machine for $220. Use it daily. Paid something similar. Highly recommended unless you’re looking for more features.
Wish the battery can last a bit longer or fast charging.
There are so many Lubluelu models available on sale at Amazon:
SL60D - $220
SL61 - 231
SL68 - $238
L15 - $206
L20 - $240
There is also one Dreame D10s for $375.
Which one would be ideal if upgrading from a 4 yr old Ecovacs? Would prefer auto-empty station as well. Thanks
Great for a small house that is all floorboards. Ours has paid itself off if I consider my hourly wage vs time spent usually vacuuming/mopping the house. Still need to get the dyson out every few weeks to do some corners/behind doors but generally this thing does a sensational job
is there a risk of too much water with the mopping mode?
How's the mopping function? Is it effective? Do you add cleaning solution or use plain water?
You can't add cleaning solution
Any robotic vacuums that use a flat mop are going to have the same effectiveness as you pushing a flat wet mop around your floor without muscle.
Most people want more then that but the only way to get that is to spend $1200+
How's the mopping function?
Very basic with clean water, never use it.
If you give your floor a good manual mopping and then run this very often in mop mode it will help maintain it. But it won't effectively clean from scratch, it just limply drags a damp cloth around.
I don't bother because I can't be arsed filling/emptying the water compartment and putting the mop cloth on and off.
I squirt antibacterial hand wash on the floor before mopping and it seems to do the job. This way it won’t damage the vac.
I have the SL-68 slightly more powerful at 4500ha I got it about 4 months ago for around $229. It is absolutely value for money.
Large 280ml Mopping Water container and all in 1 container/ Dust bin this was the biggest factor for me as I just need to pull out 1 tray refill and clean the mop brush. I wanted an entry level device before upgrading on the next one and can recommend the product.
I have the SL-68
Did you find any issue with only one brush
Have you researched on which model will be ideal for the next upgrade?
I am looking to upgrade my old ecovacs with something around $1000.
The Roborock s8 ultra is a good choice, ton of replacement parts on amazon/aliexpress. I've done 80 hours in mine in 3 months and its been faultless. Self cleaning mop and auto dust bin work a treat. If i hadn't had my hardwood floors polished recently I'd go a cheap model.
Wow, those are over $2k.
Is it MaxV Ultra or Pro Ultra?
We purchased this as our first ever robo vac, more as a trial than anything, before we were willing to spend double the price on some of the other brand names.
Hasn't missed a beat in 6 months. Overall does a great job of keeping the house free of pet hair (including under couches/coffee tables where we would otherwise struggle to vacuum), as well as a general light mop. The map management/restricted areas can take a bit of getting used to but once set up it's perfectly fine. We have it navigating like a charm around pet water bowls, some floor cabling etc.
Just purchased the additional accessories/replacement pack for the brushed and extra mop cloths. Won't be changing or 'upgrading' anytime soon.
These are great,We have our come out every Mon,Wed & Fri & seriously can't believe how much fine dust it collects, I have purchased them for my 2 sons & have friends that have purchased it from our experience with it.My wife & I both work full time & it is so good to come home to cleaner floors & we have not used our built in vacuum since purchasing this over 9 months ago. Have had to get it to do a remap twice since owning it as the map had gone out of wack in the app.Just looked in the app & it has nearly covered 5000 square metres ;-)

I still need my vacuum for stairs 😆
Does any of you wonderful folks have one of these with a slate tile floor? I’ve got an around 30 or so sq/m of Indian slate tile floor that is uneven and I’d like to know if anybody can comment on how it would perform on such a surface?
I have the 4500pa version:
Works well, but you need to spend some time setting up.
Mine gets caught on my clothes hanging dryer sometimes. And no slippers.
Got caught on a small bump in the house so had to create a wall barrier.
Doesn't collect everything, can still see some hairs but good enough.
Dust bin isn't the biggest compared to other brands.
Need to clean the roller for hair. If you have a lot of long hair, consider different vacums desgined to suck up hair.
For 220, its good.
This one seems to be having more suction power in comparison to the above model.

How does one use these without a dock? Does it just return to a defined spot that you then would self-empty and plug in for recharge? At $220, with the above reviews this is very much nearing impulse purchase territory. Do the docks go on sale much?
Single brush and no empty station compatible.
huh??
ATL for the dock on Amazon is $160
It comes with a standard charging dock. It automatically returns to the charger when vacuuming is complete or charge is low. You need to manually empty the vacuum regularly when using this charger.
The optional dock is a self-emptying station and charging dock. It empties the vacuum every time it docks, so you can go months without attending to the machine at all, depending on your household dirt levels.
My upstairs has two levels separated by some stairs, so I have the self emptying dock in the larger area, and keep the original charging-only dock in the other area. I simply change room maps and drop the unit in the smaller area every now and then. It cleans the area and recharges on the smaller dock, so I don't need to remember to move it back to the larger area until I get around to it.
So if you buy the vacuum and the optional self-emptying dock, you effectively have a second charger for somewhere else.
I have the dock downstairs. To do upstairs I just carry the vac up and start it. Obviously it can’t dock once the cleaning cycle is complete, so it roams aimlessly upstairs searching for the dock. After a while it shuts down. No issues, just carry downstairs and dock it.
Does it just return to a defined spot that you then would self-empty and plug in for recharge?
Come with charging base.
Had anyone used this with Home Assistant?
I got this from last deal for $239, funny little guy :D
How does it go with rugs?
Have two of these for two different levels in the house.
Bought the SL60 first then got the SL68 both with no docks.
Use both for daily vacuum & weekend mop function.
Have a dog that sheds a lot of hair so weekly roller clean job takes 2 minutes manual work.
Best gadgets we ever invested in.
Best thing is now we have no arguments on who is cleaning the house or have a messy hair on the floor anymore.
So I can say marriage saved for $500
I have this and like my old Xiaomi one better. The Lubluelu runs out of charge very quickly compared to the Xiaomi and the dust bin is much smaller.
I’ve got some rugs in my house, anyone know the maximum height these things can climb?
