Testing the World's Worst Roomba!

in today's video we're going to do a test to see how good is an $8 robot vacuum guys I don't know if you have ever dived into the weirdness that is cheap stuff you can buy from China and have shipped to you really quickly I was using the website whish calm which has so much of that stuff and it suggested what looked like a Roomba except that it said it cost $8 instead of like the hundreds of dollars that a real Roomba costs and so I was so curious that I bought five of them here's the basic idea on online retailer sells robotic cleaning tools for $8 each we bought five of them and we want to see how well they clean can they stand up to a more powerful robotic vacuum or will they replace all our cleaning needs Tally's just gonna start turning them on all over the place oh that one they might be a little suicidal there we go they're not powerful enough to get off of our desk at least not on their own if another one hit this one it might make it off my tree let's take a look at how they work first off taking out of the box you pick this up and you're like wait did they forget all of the internal parts because it's super lightweight where's our scale I'm gonna get the scale it's so light it's mostly empty so this right here is our cleaning pad so here's how it works batteries which do come included they are rechargeable batteries they go in here there's three of them and then you've got these two little motors and this is what drives it it drives and it's designed to like go in a little bit of a circle how much do you think this weighs in ounces 16 hence less than a pound they're even ten and a half point six five pounds and that's with the batteries in it we put rechargeable batteries let's open this one let's see how much it weighs without the batteries and you see why I was really like oh my goodness they forgot the insides we also have on our table our still not Roomba brand but other robot vacuums and these actually do have some suction and brushes that spin to get all of the dirt gathered and it has a suction like I said also I open this up and I was like oh okay this is actually like maybe a decent like dry mop pad and I went to put it on and they'd said no no that's 20 they're thin they're like dryer sheett thin almost you're gonna open that one up and see what's inside I'm pretty sure it's going to be a single motor and maybe a small circuit board and that's gonna be it these larger more powerful ones were actually also sent to us by a company who wanted us to review them and we talked about them in our video showing some things that people had sent to us we didn't just drive them around on the carpet we actually decided to have them battle as well [Music] [Music] Oh they've already run into each other neither one is giving ground they're just driving against each other they have panels on the front that tells them if they hit a wall but because of the knives they're not hitting the panel's they're just pushing against each other well Jarvis is definitely not winning this battle I think we have to separate them oh oh oh oh so close yeah one balloon down thank vida oh man Friday is kicking butt tell me Oh BOTS don't know they've hit walls well coming for our cameraman ha ha ha oh no the balloon is too high ha ha ha oh my gosh Freddie so much faster Oh almost got that last balloon oh it's free I don't know the rules Oh Friday wins Friday just hunted Jarvis down well I think that's pretty good use for robot vacuums okay there's our shell there's nothing in it there's a okay so that means everything's on this side turn it over and uh okay there's all of our stuff we have this size motor this is our power button on/off and that's it I mean there could be something in here but like there's literally not even a circuit board it doesn't even have program would you show some it's a robot very clever robot yes very clever in its design in that you don't need programming this is it this is the entire machine and it okay somehow now it's able to commit suicide there may be a circuit board in it but it would just be inside the plastic housing with the motor and I can't see it the computer in the files are in the computer so it comes with these little sticky velcro pieces that you attached onto the bottom and that's how you attach the cleaning pad the wheels that are driving it are just on a slightly off centered axis so that if something gets in the way they just turn and it starts driving it a different direction and I believe that the two wheels are actually just slightly different sizes so that if it's left on a big open area it just goes in a gentle circle you can suck up the possibly cotton yet to be determined padding so if you look at this stuff all packed together before you peel apart these tissue thin little sheets that are supposed to go on your vacuum it almost looks like insulation we very much hope it's not insulation is like spun glass you don't want to just handle it I Nate is thinking it's probably a low quality cotton I agree but I really don't think we need to pull out the blowtorch for anything coming from these little guys nothing's gonna survive like this oh it Mel oh oh no oh oh cotton will just light on fire and burn this is probably polyester or acrylic I think we need to do a cleaning test we've got five of these four and a half of four and three-quarters of these and I want to see how well they actually clean so I propose we get the workbench very lightly dirty because clearly not gonna pick up a lot of stuff well it's gonna be our everything yeah I think it should just all happened right here on the desk okay sprinkle some powder all over it cover it with that and see how well these clean alright so we have the mystery crew yeah we got Velma Wilma shaggy Fred and scooby-doo the mystery van is dirty and so they need to clean it we're gonna see how good of a job that can do ready your mark get set yeah we also have to keep them from falling off from yeah come on the school I think they're making it worse certainly not all cleaned up this looks like a chalkboard that several toddlers got to some of the dust has been picked up we'll have to look at the bottom to compare later they have done a wonderful job of smearing some cornstarch around take a look at this there's not even that much on the one that's doing the best is the one that we broke Scoob actually Shaggy and scoop kind of cleaned house I want to do a test I want to take Jarvis are slightly better robot vacuum put him on and see if he's any better all right it's alive well I don't think anything really wants to clean the board starts reading to be fair this is designed as a carpet vacuum more than a hard floor vac okay that though that is a lot less cornstarch than there was when it just passed over it's not clean but it's less I've added some water to the cleaning pad Oh see if there's any change look at this path that Jarvis just made though it's a path that's significant aha a sort of clean circle wish now let's get a kick fight bodies Jarvis taking out his competition go jarvis go you can do it I feel like Jarvis has cleaned more than all five of the mystery team by himself go figure the $8 vacuum is not the most power it's not a vacuum that's true the $8 cleaner and dry mop is not as good as the the one that actually has programming and brushes just one pad adding water to the pad maybe made it clean a tiny bit better I think to really work it's kind of based on like some static electricity creating build-up to like pull dust off the ground weight and I actually ran one of these in my house on a big hardwood floor area for about 20 minutes and it did gather some dust so it was obviously no longer on the floor and it moved to the pad so it did something now it's time for the real test I don't know of any vacuum that's ever had to prove itself this way but I see never have I felt so at home no shaggy you're going the wrong oh no oh no Scoob stuck Wilma's aflame Oh scooby-doo is actually on fire I think we killed scooby-doo you're we still running Scooby's water we're on fire now the rest of Scooby is on fire okay friends about to arrive through the fire oh good come on Scoob what's the best way to put Scooby out at this point guys that's not all you know we've always got more if you see hit that box up at the top for most recent video when we've seen the next one talk to you then [Music] [Applause] [Music]

Uploaded yesterday. I think this video wouldn't exist if it wasn't for u/edgeofruin and the rest of us in the cult of SWEEP.

I was way too invested in that battle.
