Troubled robot vacuum-cleaner maker iRobot, abandoned by Amazon after regulators effectively doomed the web giant’s takeover offer, has warned investors it may not survive the next 12 months.

      “for a lot of models” is a bit of an exaggeration. Especially as Xiaomi/Dreame try to actively restrict Valetudo use.

      But yes, Valetudo is a great project. I’d just wish there was a manufacturer who would openly endorse it.

        I have it on a Roborock S5 and it works great, so much more stable than the original firmware that requires an internet connection.

        Certain models can be harder to root though, so read through the description and guide thoroughly first.
