Czarna lista robotów odkurzających 🏴 Lepiej ich unikaj!

Overall verdict

The video is a warning about after-sales support and long-term reliability, not just cleaning performance. The host advises caution with several brands and models because of repair delays, parts shortages, uncertain European support, or dependence on company servers. No product ratings or scores are given.

Brands and products discussed

Dreame

The host credits Dreame with innovative products and attractive prices; until recently, it would have been among his top three recommended brands. He says the D- and L-series are exceptions to some of the concerns because their designs resemble Roborock’s.

Repair services report slow parts delivery and limited diagnostic tools, resulting in lengthy repairs. The host says service appears to have improved since mid-year, but considers it too soon to know whether the improvement will last.

Reported problems include:

• Broken swivel wheels that make docking difficult
• Motherboard and camera failures
• Mapping problems
• Hoses coming loose on models with washing stations

A motherboard replacement may be quick physically, but the robot must be synchronized with Dreame’s cloud by an authorized service centre. Independent repairers lack access. The host also raises concerns about Dreame’s situation in China and the possibility of future support or cloud-service problems.

MOVA

MOVA is described as making products structurally similar to Dreame’s, but generally with fewer features and lower prices.

Its future in Europe—and whether its Polish-language support and cloud services will continue—is unclear. The host says the company did not answer questions about its plans, so he advises caution despite attractive discounts.

Viomi

The S9 is associated with battery degradation. Mopping models are reported to have recurring water-pump failures and laser errors.

The company’s sales reportedly fell by about half, and it is said to be withdrawing from Europe. Remaining store stock should be treated cautiously.

Roidmi

Roidmi is also described as having leftover stock in stores amid a situation similar to Viomi’s. The host recommends avoiding those remaining units.

Older brands: iLife, Zaco, Mamibot and Moneual

The host recalls some of these brands as early innovators that performed well in older comparison tests. Their current distribution or support appears to have disappeared.

The Moneual example is especially uncertain: the Korean headquarters reportedly went bankrupt in 2015, while European and Polish operations continued selling products afterward. The host warns that some current stock may be very old and questions what happened to the associated online infrastructure.

“Disposable” budget brands: Concept, Sencor, MPM, Cotech and Silvercrest

Repair services reportedly often do not repair these robots after warranty expiry. Common reasons include unavailable parts and technical documentation, poor service contact, and plastic drive components—such as gears—that can wear or fail.

Xiaomi

Repairers say it is difficult to estimate failure rates because sales volumes are huge and many owners attempt repairs themselves. Quality varies significantly by range: the high-end models are described as well made, while some mid- and lower-range models have material compromises.

The Mi Robot Vacuum-Mop Pro and S10 are singled out for reported water-pump and laser errors. Suction-turbine seizure is also mentioned.

iRobot

The host criticizes iRobot for sticking to its principles—such as opposing lidar navigation and mopping—while competitors advanced, then releasing a China-sourced robot that he describes as faulty, with poor mopping and imprecise lidar. In his assessment, it was cheaper than iRobot’s other offerings but still more expensive than competitors.

The company reportedly avoided liquidation with help from a Chinese parts supplier. The host recommends waiting for at least a year of market and repair-service feedback on the new ownership period. Repairers report that independent service centres have lost access to cheap iRobot parts.

Narwal

The host calls Narwal his favourite or best manufacturer, but says this is currently a poor time to buy one in Poland. Robots have largely disappeared from Polish stores amid communication problems between the manufacturer and distributor. Users have reportedly had trouble downloading the Polish app and getting support.

Buying through Amazon may still be possible, but is more expensive than previous Polish-distribution prices; Polish-language service assistance may be limited. Parts held in France can add several weeks to repairs.

Wider market and ownership risks

The host describes the robot-vacuum market as overcrowded and increasingly driven by price and feature competition. He says prices in China fell 6% year over year, and reports Roborock revenue down 31% year over year.

Newer models add features such as mop-washing stations, AI, cameras and robotic arms, but falling prices and thinner profits may put pressure on manufacturers and their support networks.

Many robots depend on cloud servers. If a manufacturer shuts down those services, a robot could lose functions—or potentially stop working.

Neato is used as a cautionary example: after Vorwerk acquired it, the company later shut Neato down. Although server support was reportedly meant to last five years, the host says the servers went offline in 2025, leaving customers with impaired devices.

User experience and comparisons

The video offers little direct, hands-on testing of the named models. Most practical claims come from user messages and repair services. The central comparison is between robots that may offer impressive features and low prices now, and the risk of poor repairability or unsupported cloud services later.

Perspectives mentioned

• The host: Provides the brand assessments, cautions, and overall recommendation to consider long-term support, not just specifications or price.
• Repair services: Report parts shortages, repair delays, recurring faults, and which products they consider effectively disposable.
• Viewers and owners: Their complaints—especially about Dreame and Narwal service—prompted the host to investigate further.
• No separate guest reviewer provides a contrasting hands-on verdict.
