Do your chores, you lazy asswipe

I got a lawnmower one recently, and thus far it seems far more useful than the vacuums. They used to require guidewires to understand the perimeter of your property, but now they use RTK and LiDAR.

I almost bought one from china off aliexpress because they had them marked down from $2000 to $150+free shipping with the returning shopper deal but then I figured for $150 the thing is probably going to mow down my neighbors dog or get me sent to prison somehow so I talked myself out of it. How much was yours? can it handle bumpy uneven land or does it need to be cookie cutter house perfect suburban yard to work?

I bought an X40 during BF last year and I love it, haven't needed to manually vac or mop since.
I do need to clean it out a couple times a week, but that only takes 5 minutes.
I flashed mine with Valetudo, never connected it to the Chinese servers.

I spent a lot more, $2300 for a Navimow X430. Thus far nothing has stopped it. It doesn't care about bumps, tree roots, steep hills, or anything else. Guidance accuracy seems good too, I have it riding along curbs and it hasn't fallen off yet. It realistically manages about .25 acres per charge with the traction control turned on.

What the fuck is lidar gonna do? And how much is RTK, gotta be expensive surely.

LiDAR and vision are for obstacle detection and enhanced navigation. LiDAR is better in a complex environment, but not so good in an open lawn without landmarks. But when in the right environment, it alone can be enough for navigation. Vision is a better general solution that's good enough for obstacles, okay at navigation, and the best at knowing what's actually grass. But either way, the mower needs to know not to run into obstacles like your dog when it's running, so it needs something like vision or LiDAR.

RTK can either work using a local antenna that comes with the mower or by using the network, NRTK. It's free and extremely accurate after calibration.

Most mowers without perimeter wires have at least two of the three, LiDAR/Vision/RTK.

I got the cheap ass rowenta 75s. 200€ without the extras (I got the spare mops & brushes set for 50 extra)

The app is pretty shit, at least it is on my android tablet but I don't allow it on my iphone. It shits itself on cables so I have all cables tubed with picrel. It hates my glass doors and bumps into them constantly.

Other than that I love it. It keeps my entire apartment vacuumed and mopped. It's very serviceable, you can replace most parts even battery. Would buy again.

>What's the current state of cleaning bots?
The best models are called WiFE but the current models they release get generally worse every year that goes by.

I'm tempted to get one of the ones you can flash and debotnet and run HomeOS tp set up its routes, but not feeling like $500 is worth and I'd be worried it'd suck on hardwood floors.

I do enough chores. It’s the fuckin future, why can AI come for our jerbs but can’t do something I’d actually want?

>lawnmower
That’s a totally different thing. Plus, I don’t have any use for one and they’re retarded anyway. If you hate nature that much, sell your fucking house and get an apartment!

Already got one of those but you’re right, it’s not that good at cleaning. Especially since I installed the mOTHER upgrade, it’s way to busy with other stuff and is rather have it spend it’s spare time sucking me (which it does exceptionally well) instead of doing a mediocre job sucking the floor.

Too loud and too expensive. Looks nice though

Used to have shitty roborock and decided to upgrade this year to dreame x50.
Must say dreame is miles better. Actual upgrade, it's quite and efficient you still need to vacuum yourself as corners and other places exist where robot struggles.

How bad will some cheapo, random bot off AliExpress be?
Will it send all my data to the CCP or will it be an old school offline bot that bumps about randomly, hoping to cover the whole floor that way?
Or is there even some that have some FoSS firmware available?

>>108617126
That looks like something to check out:
>https://valetudo.cloud/pages/general/supported-robots/
But since that depends on a vuln you probably have to find an old bot with an old firmware?

It'll work
