Affordable, Reliable Robovac: Truly Hands-Free Obstacle Management

Published on 06/01/2025•Product Idea Validation / New Product Ideas (Non-SaaS)

Comments on a review of a high-end robovac with a robotic arm (Roborock Saros Z70) reveal a strong user desire for robotic vacuums that can autonomously manage common small household obstacles like shoes or pet toys. Phrases like "I hated having to move shoes around" and "That's the point of it. So you don't have to clear the floor" highlight this need, especially for pet owners and families. One user put it this way: "Pet households... every crinkle ball left out by the cats means like a two-foot circle the robot doesn't clean." While the concept of obstacle management exists (as seen in the Saros Z70), current solutions are often seen as too expensive ("2600 dollars????") or not yet fully reliable ("a swing and a miss").

This presents an opportunity for a physical product: a more affordable and robust robotic vacuum cleaner with effective and reliable light-obstacle navigation and management capabilities (e.g., gently pushing aside or effectively navigating around items like shoes, pet toys, and small, low-lying clutter without getting stuck or requiring pre-cleaning).

Expected Benefits:

Significant Time Savings: It would eliminate or greatly reduce the need for users to pre-tidy floors before running the vacuum.
Increased Convenience & True Autonomy: It would offer a truly "set it and forget it" cleaning experience, which is especially valuable for scheduled cleanings when users are not home.
Broader Market Accessibility: A lower price point would make advanced obstacle management features available to a wider range of consumers who are currently priced out.
Improved Cleaning Coverage: By effectively managing small obstacles, the vacuum can clean more of the floor area, rather than avoiding large sections around an object.
Reduced Frustration: Users will experience fewer instances of the robovac getting stuck or failing to complete a cleaning cycle due to common household clutter.

😂 I paid $1,899 and they threw in a free Roborock F25. I already had a S7 MAXV. The arm is gimmicky and needs some updates but the first time it picked up a dog toy and the dogs went wild it

Does it still do this annoying thing where it randomly goes to the wrong places or needs to find its current position even though it was paused for just 20 minutes?

u/Imaginary_Struggle48

I bought it…Arm is very cool and very useless. Yesterday it deployed for the first time while I was watching it. Arm gracefully came out…picked up a dog toy in its path…backed up a few feet

I hated having to move shoes around and make sure cords were not on the floor. Biggest issue with my roborock. Bought a new vac with cameras pointing at the floor and it just moves around t

Pet households and people who schedule it. I’m not going to get rid of my own fairly new one to upgrade, but every crinkle ball left out by the cats means like a two foot circle the robot do

u/Tinyjar

Eh the more mechanic parts something has, the more likely it'll break.

😂 I paid $1,899 and they threw in a free Roborock F25. I already had a S7 MAXV. The arm is gimmicky and needs some updates but the first time it picked up a dog toy and the dogs went wild it

I'm gonna be honest. I don't see many people buying this other than for it's novelty value. It can pick up anything similar in size to a shoe or a paper ball. Who leaves such things lying aro

Does it still do this annoying thing where it randomly goes to the wrong places or needs to find its current position even though it was paused for just 20 minutes?

I bought it…Arm is very cool and very useless. Yesterday it deployed for the first time while I was watching it. Arm gracefully came out…picked up a dog toy in its path…backed up a few feet

I doubt this thing was really meant to be a viable product tbh, more just to get consumers attention to bolster the sales of their cheaper products. It reminds me of the Ring Always Home Cam

From the article: “It would look right at the box, then turn at the last minute and drop it on the floor.” Sounds like Roborock programmed this sucker in spiteful toddler mode.
