They do sell a roomba style vacuum too.

Uhh

I was thinking the same. If I ever had the need to lift 3 bowling balls using vacuum I know the proper equipment to use.

@Baron Of Hell lol, exactly

they jumped the shark vacuum?

It makes no difference, the the vacuum still has to lift the whole thing!

You got your wish

And one that doesn't get reset every week

I would agree, stay with the home automation market.

@A N Bwhahaha! Who would buy a Wyze CAR?!

@camaroman101 the vacuum is a rebranded xiaomi mi vac though maybe slightly upgraded and cheaper - www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Distance-Powerful-Planning-Hard-Floor/dp/B01MU4WAUI That being said I own one and love it.

@Nate Benis give me links what other products besides the v2 are rebranded?

@camaroman101 they literally are the American xiamo they rebrand all of their products

You said "plunger would do that on it's own", you are not very bright!!!

Very first thought I had as soon as the video started. Not a good demo.

Actually it does make plunger a vacuum because it is creating suction, it just not a battery powered vacuum

I totally agree. I have several Wyze products and love 'em, but this marketing bit is a flop since I have literally no idea how well the thing sucks up dirt & debris. If it was just a cone, not a suction cup, it would have made sense.

Idiots ^

Unless there’s a hole where the vacuum connects to the plunger which is what to expect since they are trying to show the strengths it.

Thanks for the laugh 😅

...or when ur GF is outta town👍🤣🤣🤣

LMAO

As long as you have a plunger handy...

LMAO

Yeah! I want their lidar roomba!

it shows you that you can vacuum up your bowling ball, yeesh 😂

Yeah, strange company vision...

It says 8 lbs in the video in the lower right; I was thinking the same thing.

Didn't realize that

The most stupid marketing thing I’ve ever seen, you could pick a bowling ball up with just a regular plunger with no vacuum!

I agree.

So... you think its worth the purchase and performs well?

ditto! :)

Same here 😅

Lol right?

Exactly - what a joke

@camaroman101 Cleanfly FV2

What is the model number of the xiaomi one? Link?

@Chris .... you said it, not me ;).

Vacuum wars would expose its rebranding.

@Jonathan Rodriguez it does not prove suction power of the vacuum. You can do this with a regular plunger. Does that prove that the stick of a plunger is a good vacuum with a lot of air suction?

@Khile Klock Ok, yes of course, common sense is that air flow is what moves the dirt and trash into the canister I never questioned that though, I only mentioned that picking up bowling balls is not a real test.

@Gordon S It's actually AIRFLOW that matters most.... if a filter gets clogged, and AIRFLOW is reduced... you'll pick up nothing.... Greatest misconception regarding vacuums!

@Jonathan Rodriguez No, it proves suction, not suction power. 2 different things. A water lift test is used to measure suction power. All vacuums, even the cheapest of the cheap can lift a bowling ball with that setup.

It proves the suction power, which is arguably one of the most important aspects of a vacuum.

@Seth Taylor Well done. Not sure I need all your suggestions, but garden one would rock. I love to water my plants, hate to check to see if they need watering.

​@Luke Missirian-Parise Thanks for your pushback. You rock Luke! I appreciate your perspective to help this comment have more context. To answer your question, yes, I've seen various vacuum demonstrations from low and high power vacuums that show this bowling ball example. You can also google a similar text string and see numerous bowling ball examples. Interestingly, it doesn't take much airflow to get a good seal on a perfectly round surface like a bowling ball and a plunger-like shape. You can use a very small, low-powered pump to get a good seal. I've done this with a thumb-sized pump. A good vacuum for a car application needs a lot of airflow. Even better is when there is some way to shake the substrate to launch the crumbs or debris into that airflow. I don't see this vacuum doing either of these things very well (from this video). I love the Wyze cameras. They are amazing! However, this vacuum product looks super weak and doesn't seem to solve the problem it proclaims! This dilutes the Wyze brand and reduces the likelihood that I can recommend their hardware to friends. If I could meet with them, I'd sincerely request they use their incredible tech to solve problems not currently solved by other manufacturers. I think cameras are probably highly underrated in their usage right now. Too many things use probes or other sensors where cameras can accomplish a lot more at a distance (less invasively). Random food based camera ideas: Cameras that can monitor ripeness of my fruit and remind me to get new bananas when I'm at the store Food tracking system for my food storage where I can scan barcodes whenever I grab a can of beans and auto order new inventory. Cameras to detect hydration levels of plants in my garden and can water them when they need it instead of a dumb clock based watering system. Cameras to help me know when to drink to maintain an ideal personalized hydration level and timing so I don't drink too much late at night and end up needing to hit the restroom in the middle of the night. Non food: Cameras to detect micro changes of a breathing of an infant and alert me if breathing rate drops too low. Cameras that can do an extremely good job at detecting tooth plaque at home so I can improve my specific areas of hygiene if a concerning area arises. Sheesh, thanks for your patience for such a long response.

Agreed. Lots of stick vac options on Amazon with smililar pricing and 17 kpa and higher suction with a powered floor head.

I don’t believe you’re getting the point. First of all, have you tested many low powered vacuums to prove your claim? Either way, the point is how strong the suction that the vacuum produces is. If it can lift 24 lbs of solid bowling ball, it can lift the dirt out of your messy car.

Exactly!!

What did you get that was subpar to their original products? I've been a fan give the quality/price point but that's not to say their products are top of the line. It's just good for the price point compared to others manufacturers... but I'm starting to think they need to pump the brakes and improve on products before moving on to new items. Also thinking they have to be rebranding also. The super influx of new products when they can stand to improve old ones has me suspect.

😂😉

@R. SCOTT I mean it even sucks!

😂

Safety First - :) (great profile pic)

Can’t say I disagree. I worry about them going under or getting bought out.

It doesn't matter how strong the suction is, if you have to empty it every two minutes. This thing can't possibly hold very much of whatever you vacuum up. This must have been designed by someone who has never used a vacuum.

@Joseph E. T. Peach ....spot on....wyze band is junk drawer item!

@Luke Missirian-Parise I've loved most of their products, have tons including numerous cameras, robot vacuum, plugs, bulbs... But the wyze band was a flop, in my opinion. Software was really bad and felt 'not ready'. They seem to have already pivoted away from it now, maybe with realization they tried to do too much

It wasn’t a demo of the device’s weight bearing ability; it was a demonstration of how strong the suction is. Why wouldn’t it be high quality? Has Wyze shipped something that isn’t or would give you reason to worry?

@Luke Missirian-Parise It only proves that the suction cup has a great seal. Take away the vac and replace it with your hand - as long as the suction cup has a good seal, you'll get the same results.

@Luke Missirian-Parise You're clueless

@Luke Missirian-Parise I think you missed his point

It wasn’t a demo of the device’s weight bearing ability; it was a demonstration of how strong the suction is. Stronger the suction more diet gets pulled. That’s just how life works. If a plumber would handpick every bit of dust of your floors for cheep people would’ve been hiring plumbers since the beginning of time.

that's true. I've seen this with a dust vacuum. Not impressive.

Uhh no
