I have an i7+. Had it for 6 months and I still haven't changed the bag yet, so maybe the concern over bag costs was overblown.

Only have to empty the bin manually when I bring it upstairs and could technically avoid that too but that would be lazy.

As if a robot vacuum isn't lazy to begin with.

I have an old 2015 model Roomba. It picks up a lot of dust from the tile. It's supposed to have edge detection but it will get stuck in the utility room or try to go in my shower. I've just had to close the bathroom door and utility room door and it seems to do fairly well.

You’re correct but it does say an EU plug adapter is included.

Yeah after I read more I saw that. I went ahead and ordered one from Newegg. I’m going to return mine from Amazon considering it’s basically $200 cheaper. Good find man.

Just a heads up. Got mine in from NewEgg and it doesn't have a European to American adapter. Ordered one on Amazon for like $5

I think any standard “8 Shaped” power cable will work. However I ordered an adapter just to be sure.

Currently using my Amazon Roborock power cable for the time being for I return it.

I thought about just returning the euro cable with my amazon order haha.

$200 cheaper and all I need is a $5 adapter. Nice.

My Walmart S50 came in a couple of days ago. It actually is from a second party seller. The shipping was a bit of an adventure. The first one went to a town in North Dakota I've never heard of. They quickly shipped another, though, and then corrected the shipping number twice. But it did get here, with two day shipping direct from Hong Kong. At the last second they threw in an adapter since it has a Euro plug, nice touch but almost pushed out of the box because badly packed. The vacuum does a great job and watching it create the map of the house was pretty cool. So was the reaction of the cats. Getting the software to load on the phone was a bit ugly but I do really like how it works now. Exclusion zones and barrier lines work great and are easy. Carpets with fringe are a big problem and they are picked up for now. Overall it's a really good product.

I actually ordered one from Wal-Mart as well before I saw NewEgg flash sale.

My wal-Mart Roborock also went to a random town.

I’ve basically opened up a dispute via PayPal since mine from NewEgg came in faster and cheaper.
