Another cool device that will become shittier. Seriously, is there a brand that Amazon bought that they didn’t make worse? I am still salty about eero.
How has eero gotten worse?
The app experience has gotten worse over the years, but let’s just say that this can be seen as subjective. The problem is that the developers don’t fully test the devices before releasing them. Like here, take this Wi Fi 6 AP, it’s not yet working properly, but we’ll try to fix it in a year or so, maybe. Then there’s Amazon getting all the data from the network. There are just better brands out there and I remember when eero was the reliable alternative to what Google was pushing at the time.
My old Roomba is getting quite old and I was thinking of replacing it. No idea with what - but I know it won’t be an Amazon product. What other brands are somewhat known for quality?
Honestly, I only know of Roomba and then there’s the Chinese brands like Roborock and clones.
