I've rarely seen as much empty marketing-speech as in this ad.

It has lot of empty words but completely fails to convey what differentiates this robot from others. Would any part of this ad except maybe the specific sensor configuration stop being applicable if you replaced the brand and name of the product with any of the other high-end competitors?

- 200 day’s maintenance free operation

- water jets to clean vacuum itself

- claims that it is much more quiet

Water jets that clean the mop heads, not the full vacuum. Ecovacs have a different system that also automatically cleans the mop heads, so it's not a unique feature.

So, why exactly is this one month old ad on the frontpage?

I really wish they wouldn't keep adding cameras on these things. Isn't three lidar sensors enough?

This saved me a lot of money! After checking the price, I bought a new broom, mop and a bucket.

I'm disappointed that it doesn't fly.
