We live in a time when people throw away working vacbots 🤷 we save them 🦾 (To be fair, a lot of the first generation ones are sufficiently annoying to use that sweeping may be preferable.)
General
Vacbots do not like: cables, clothes pegs, shoe laces, paper tissues, loads of hair, wet/sticky stuff, etc. Do a quick check that such things are not in the intended cleaning area.
Regularly check brushes and remove caught hair, etc. It is typically easier to remove the brushes completely to do so. Be gentle clipping and unclipping :)
Current deployment
Right now the 2 Tesvor X500s are stationed in the dining room (under the chair beside the couch) and at the K20 entrance (under the black set of drawers): they are both scheduled to clean at 04:00. To be sure that Tesvors will do scheduled cleaning, make sure 1) the physical switch is on 2) the clock and program are properly set 3) one or both fan icons are showing on the remote (Note: you need to reset fan if you press the "go to charging station" button!)
Inventory
| Make | Model | Docs | Number | Source | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Tesvor | X500 | X500 User Manual | 2 | 1 rescued, 1 bought used | Works well. |
| Quigg | ~5 | Rescued | Works. Emptying annoying, scheduling very unreliable. | ||
| Roomba | 1 | Rescued | Works. Charging issues, no remote, no charging port nor charging station. | ||
| Dirt Devil | Spider | 1 | Rescued | Unknown. |
