Hi everyone!

I currently have a Neato D7 with a broken brush motor. It's 3 years old, so no more warranty.

Given that Neato is shutting down, I want to buy a new vacuum altogether.

Here's my wishlist:

Home Assistant integration (duh)
Vacuum + mopping
Local control would be cherry on top
LIDAR navigation (we run it mostly during the night)
Easy to service & reliable (should be easy to service the robot and buy replacement parts)

Any suggestions / recommendations?

Not sure about local control, but I've been pleased with the Roborock line.

If you're techie, and I assume most of the people on Lemmy's HA community are, you can flash new firmware. That said, it looks like a hassle for the later models...

There are some good ones with easy access like the dreame line! Otherwise a secondhand roborock S5. Mine has been going strong running valetudo for years
