#like with a functional floorplan and all the rooms that a building/house would actually have...

Lockwood Manor - Master Suite

I started adding some decor to the master bedroom, and furnished the bathrooms.

[juliasgoodusername]

Sometimes a girl has to go a little crazy. Sometimes a girl has to make a book-accurate floorplan for 300 Fox Way. These things just happen, sometimes.

Obsessive annotations under the cut ✨ but be warned, there's a LOT

Exterior

Okay first of all, I'm no architect, and my only knowledge comes from work experience in the real estate industry + a lot of Sims. The style is sort of neo-rural French colonial. I didn't set out to adhere to that standard so much as I made an amalgamation of homes in Blue Ridge Mountains-adjacent towns in Virginia. Specifically, my headcanon Henrietta template is Orange, VA (I'll save that explanation for another post) so I took inspiration from real estate listings from there.

Alright alright I know there is supposed to be one bathroom, but I simply can't tolerate that in a house with 6+ residents. I can't. There was a possible contradiction in the descriptions of "the single shared bathroom" that I used as an excuse to add a 3/4 bath, and I threw in a powder room for free. Because technically there is still only one full bathroom! But seriously with that many women over 30 most of them probably have IBS or chronic constipation and I'm not making them all share a toilet.

Officially we only have 4 bedrooms listed in text: Blue's, Persephone's, Maura's, and Calla and Jimi's shared one. Everyone else gets rooms that don't qualify as bedrooms via Virginia residential building codes (such as the attic, obviously, which falls below the combined ceiling height and square footage requirements). That really just leaves Orla unaccounted for but I'll get to that later. Other aunts and friends seem to visit during the day and live somewhere else, because in The Raven King only Jimi and Orla were described as needing to move out of the house during the demon stuff.

I designed the entire interior floorplan before I even touched the exterior, so there's a few issues, like how I'm totally missing shutters on the windows that functionally need them most. 🫶 I didn't feel like making the windows smaller to fit them, and I could have added faux-shutters but I think those are stupid. 😘

First floor

"This house is lovely. So many walls. So, so many walls," Malory said as Blue entered the living room a little later.

- Blue Lily, Lily Blue, Chapter 30

Right off the bat, we have an insane number of doors and walls. Old colonial houses are pretty much the opposite of open concept. Functionally I believe that's because it's easier to control heat with closed off rooms, but Virginia is not particularly cold so idk. As for the number of doors, I mean....😤😤😤 I prefer archways/doorless frames in small high-traffic spaces, but every time I thought I could get away with it Maggie would specifically describe doors opening and closing (For example BL,LB Ch 41 gives the reading room double doors, and even the living room gets one in Ch 11. What kind of living room needs a door???). I'm actually missing one of the doorways described in canon, but if you know which one I'm talking about I DARE you to find a place to put that thing!! But I digress.

“Mom," she said as she jumped down the crooked stairs.

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 3

I'm liberally using "crooked" to establish the corner turn stairs. Blue steadies herself on the stair railing when she identifies Gansey for the first time (TRB Ch 15), so I wanted the stairs to have good visual access to visitors. It also sort of has a feng shui-ish effect of separating the public and private energy zones in the house. If that statement made zero sense, I think one of us doesn't know enough about feng shui 👀 and it might be me.

I'm also using that quote to establish Maura's room downstairs, if Blue generally expects to find her mother there, but mostly because everything else was upstairs and it was getting hard to fit. Granted, at one point Blue leads the boys "up the stairs to Maura's bedroom" (TDT Epilogue) but since they were just arriving at 300 Fox Way those stairs could easily be the outdoor ones. There's a handful of little things to support me here, such as Adam grabbing a scrying bowl from Maura's room to use in the reading room (BL,LB Ch 41) implying that her room was the closest place to find one. And speaking of Maura's room-

Calla was overwhelmed by how much shit Maura had in her room at 300 Fox Way, and she told Blue this.

... The mess was taking years from her life. ... Maura liked chaos.

... The psychic hotline rang in the room next door. Calla's concentration fluttered away.

- Blue Lily, Lily Blue, Prologue

Maura is my favorite hypocrite. She claims to detest clutter (TRB Ch 34) and yet her room is literally described as chaos. She probably treats her room like a college student and moves the furniture every time she gets bored/stressed. Thus, I gave her the most insane furniture configuration I could think of while still matching all the contents described.

The phone ringing next door might imply that she neighbors the phone/sewing/cat room, but that area is pretty well described and Maura's room is never mentioned there in any other instance. That leaves us with the kitchen phone (TRB Ch 27) which I put in the hallway with kitchen access as a compromise so it would technically still be in a room next to Maura's.

In the reading room, the man looked around with clinical interest. His gaze passed over the candles, the potted plants, the incense burners, the elaborate dining room chandelier, the rustic table that dominated the room, the lace curtains, and finally landed on a framed photograph of Steve Martin.

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 13

There are so many quotes about the reading room that I just don't feel like citing them, but other details include the mismatched chairs, the shelves, doors etc. It's also described specifically as Maura's "front room" (TRB Prologue) so it's one of the cornerstones that I designed the rest of the layout around. Because of the plants, it makes sense that this room would be south-facing too. (Although idk how much light they get with the wraparound porch awning in the way. Oops lol!)

The outside suddenly seemed vivid in comparison to the dim kitchen. The April-bright trees pressed against the windows of the breakfast area, ...

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 3

Blue Stormed into 300 Fox Way's kitchen and began a one-sided interrogation with Artemus, who was still hidden behind the closed storage closet door.

- The Raven King, Chapter 9

Likewise, I'm using the particularly dim kitchen to place it on the north side, where we also know there's trees in the backyard.

I'll say the kitchen layout is weirder than it strictly needed to be because in the Virginia homes I referenced I adored all the strange kitchens, especially with old timey 'servants area' vibes where laundry kitchen and pantry are all connected. Instead of a kitchen island, they get one of those rolling kitchen carts which I doubled as a bar cart for the drinks they have in the living room.

The kitchen has a doorway to the hall (TRB Ch 13) and the living room is within view when Blue's on the kitchen phone (Ch 27).

Speaking of chapter 27, that's when we get the description "The morning light through the windows turned the drinks a brilliant, translucent yellow." So I put the living room on the east side of the house, where the rising sun would cast really strong light like that.

Second Floor

When she woke up, her normally morning-bright room had the breath-held dimness of afternoon. In the next room over, Orla was talking to either her boyfriend or to one of the psychic hotline callers.

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 3

Blue headed toward the red-painted door at the end of the hall. On her way, she had to pass the frenzy of activity in the Phone/Sewing/Cat Room and the furious battle for the bathroom. The room behind the red door belonged to Persephone, ...

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 11

Blue's room and the Phone/Sewing/Cat room are our cornerstones for this floor. In several examples we know that the Phone/Sewing/Cat room faces the street and has a window (TRB Ch 15, BL,LB Ch 4). While Blue's room is "morning-bright," we also get descriptions of guests at the front door "backlit by the evening sun," (TRB Ch 15) so once again we're probably talking about south windows if it's sunlit at both times of day.

Adam sat awkwardly on the edge of Blue's bed. It felt strange to have so easily gained access to a girl's bed- room. If you knew Blue at all, the room was unsurprising - canvas silhouettes of trees stuck to the walls, leaves hanging in chains from the ceiling fan, a bird with a talk bubble reading WORMS FOR ALL painted above a shelf cluttered with buttons and about nine different pairs of scissors. Against the wall, Blue self-consciously taped up the drooping branch on one of the trees.

- The Dream Thieves, Chapter 49

We get some great descriptions of Blue's room (especially TRB Ch 43), although the above one is my favorite (#wormsforall). Every piece of furniture is accounted for exactly as described except the desk which I added because it seemed practical, and Blue is nothing if not practical™.

Persephone's room is also very well-described, all the way down to the furniture and lighting placement (BL,LB Ch 4 and TRB Ch 11) and it's surprisingly similar to Blue's room, if not a bit smaller. Her room gets strong afternoon sunlight, so I put it on the south too (BL,LB Ch 43).

Calla and Jimi share a room that's also upstairs (TRK Ch 16). Because they are the only two who have to share a room, I have justified that it must be the "master bedroom" (sorry for using that term) and is far bigger than the other bedrooms. I managed to fit two queen beds in there, but some scholars [me] would argue that Jimi and Calla might also share a bed because they are in love. Can you prove me wrong? No, you can't.

As for the bathroom, remember when I mentioned a possible contradiction? Famously, Maura draws the ley line symbol in the steamed up shower door (TRB Ch 1). However, much later we get Maura, Orla, Calla and Jimi all sitting in the bathtub for some kind of ritual (TRK Ch 9). No matter how I picture it, I can't put 4 full grown women in a bathtub together without someone partially sitting on/spilling over the side. But that would be impossible in a combo bath/shower enclosed by glass doors!! Thus, I gave The Bathroom a nice tub and put a small shower in the en suite of Jimi and Calla's room. I know this is a stretch but I don't really care.

Attic

Blue had never been a big fan of the attic, even before Neeve moved in. Numerous slanting roof lines provided dozens of opportunities to hit your head on a sloping ceiling. Unfinished wood floorboards and areas patched with prickly plywood were unfriendly to bare feet. Summer turned the attic into an inferno.

... In one of the narrow dormers, two full-length, footed mirrors faced each other, reflecting mirrored images back and forth at each other in perpetuum.

- The Raven Boys, Chapter 34

Trying to fit the attic access in after everything in the second floor was my biggest challenge, because stairs normally take up a lot of space and you have to be careful about head room. I'm the end, I decided it was one of those fold out attic doors that you have to reach from the ceiling of the hallway. We might get a lot of instances of the attic door being opened (😤 seriously, Maggie... 😤) but technically a trap door in the ceiling is still a door!

Dormers pretty much cemented the French colonial style for me. And you know the drill by now: a hot room probably means a lot of sun, which means I give it a south facing window!

Mud Room/Cellar/Basement

This cellar has absolutely zero mention in the text, but my justification is based in the architecture. So far we've got a funky old colonial house, built without a garage, lots of walls etc. Especially in a low-income/semi-rural area, it's not crazy to assume that 300 Fox Way was built before most residents had refrigerators (1930s-40s). Besides iceboxes, a major way to keep food fresh was root cellars. Modern renovations for old homes convert these to concrete basements, but that's why the basement is so small and connects to the kitchen.

My headcanon is that Orla originally shared a room. Pick whoever you want: Maura, Blue or Persephone, any of them would easily be such a chaotic roommate that Orla snapped and in a fit of teen girl rage moved herself down to the crummy dark basement. Over time, she made efforts to glamorize it, such as a vintage dressing screen to hide the flood drainage pump. The privacy also allows her to bring boyfriends over, even sneaking them through the mud room.

This is really just my artistic license, but I swear it makes a surprising amount of sense in context. There's cases of Orla sneaking into the kitchen (easier if she has a back entrance) and she's almost always using the phone upstairs or in the kitchen (because a basement would get bad reception) even though her calls get kinda ~intimate.

Aaaaaand I think that's everything. Sorry it doesn't look like the photo from the wiki at all, but I couldn't find a source for it and Victorian style wasn't super common in the areas I researched. Let me know if I missed anything major! I'll probably cry myself to sleep if so.

When I'm designing Sims houses I'm usually so predictable... I'll be like, square/rectangular foyer with stairs to the second floor, dining/kitchen on the right, living/studio on the left, bathroom under the stairs, back door to the backyard w pool, grid bedrooms upstairs.

I'm trying to move away from that ingrained floorplan, which is why I'm so into the last house I built. The fact that all the downstairs rooms flow into each other is imo a big improvement. One of my biggest complaints with many floorplans is how an average family doesn't need to go into many of the rooms most days - especially on TS4, where there's very little to do. At the same time, breaking up a family per several different small, dedicated rooms just feels very lonely to me. It may not look as aesthetic from the outside but I like big, functional, interconnected rooms.

My next build will have a front door that will open into the kitchen. I took inspiration from my grandparents' old house, which worked in just this way. It had an official front door, yes, but it was never used. Another idea I have is a ground floor master bedroom with a glass wall leading up to the pool in a secluded corner of a minimalistic backyard. Of course, that would require me to learn how to do contemporary houses that don't look like boxes...

I may also try my hand at reproducing Sharon Tate's house on Cielo Drive. It shouldn't be too hard, given the appropriately-sized lot. That would be a good landscaping practice, I've had some already in this build even though I kind of half assed the front lawn. Should go back and fix it, before I start anything else.

Another thing that I would like to try is build a community lot, like an outdoor mall or a square area with many different businesses. My attempt at refurbishing a park did not pan out great. Again, there's always the question of TS4 being sparse on things to do... And I don't know how to combine several lot types into just one. Wouldn't it be great if you could have like a date central? Where you could get a cup of coffee and go bowling, or have dinner and a movie, or a pool lounge for parties, all without leaving the same lot. Alas, that may not be possible. I just learned that you can't access the books you publish if you don't make a copy before you publish them... And they're not available for purchasing by other Sims either. W the actual F

What I would choose all over again in our home {and those I wish I hadn't!}

Can you believe we've been in our home almost two and a half years already? It feels like we've been here much longer...it felt like home even before we moved in. I forgot how long it takes to really get a new home the way you want it -- not just decor, but things placed where they work best, organization, figuring how we use the spaces. It's been a really fun process for me! There are things I LOVE about our home that I would recommend to anyone, and there are a few items I kick myself almost daily for doing the way I did. I thought I'd share them here in case you're considering any of these projects or building your own home! Let's start with the parts I love, shall we? I adore our whole house, so this is easy. But there are certain things in particular that would hard to go without now.

1. Master bath upgrades

Our master bathroom is HUGE and I love it. I am SO thrilled with our big shower -- it is a dream come true! We had a tiny shower before and this still feels so luxurious:

If you have the ability to add a bigger shower -- go for it!! You won't regret it. We didn't add double shower heads, it's an expense I'm glad we didn't add on. (Although I do kind of wish we added a rainhead fixture.) 

**My husband thinks the bigger shower is colder -- I think it's just as toasty. Something to consider! 

Another bathroom upgrade that I absolutely love is our soaking tub: 

We had a corner jetted tub in the old house and loved it -- we actually used the jets quite often. We priced out a stand alone tub with jets because we thought we'd really miss it. It was going to be another three grand or something crazy like that, so that was a nope. Turns out I ADORE the deep soaking tub. I've taken more baths in this tub in two years than our old one in 14 years! It's so warm and toasty and I would never go back! :)

2. Our open layout

Ten years ago or so the master on main floorplans were gaining in popularity. With a toddler at the time, I told my husband there was no way I'd consider it. Now, it's probably my favorite thing about this house. :) Living on (mostly) one level is amaaaaazing. :) Can you tell I like it?

One thing I noticed immediately was how clean our master stays compared to our old one. We can easily take trash or dishes out where they belong. It's also much easier to keep up with laundry and just putting things away in general. 

I know it's not an option for many with young kids, but if you're building a house and plan to stay there for a long time, I encourage you to think past the baby/toddler years. It's the number one recommendation I make to anyone building!

Also, overall the layout of this house just fits our lifestyle better. We entertain a lot and LOVE having the open layout. Our family room, kitchen and morning room are all one big space and it is ideal when we have friends or family over: 

This post may contain affiliate links for your convenience. 

See my policies and disclosure page for more information.  

Instead of dining, living and family rooms, we just have the one large space. Because I turned our old dining room into a library, we used those rooms more than most do, but we would have preferred to have that square footage in the family space. 

If you are building or renovating and want less rooms but more space, I don't think you'll regret one big living area. 

3. Door handles instead of knobs

This is such a little thing but it's something I think about nearly every day! 

I am SO glad I chose handles instead of knobs for our doors: 

I picked them because I loved the look of them...no other reason. But we've learned they're so much easier to use. 

I especially love the handle on the door from the mud room to the garage. It's SO nice when our hands our full -- we can just push it with our elbow and open the door. If you have little ones I'm not sure you'd love them (I'm sure they have some kind of baby proofing gadgets for them) but if not, I highly recommend the handles! (And they just look good! These have a bit of a curve to them but are the same matte black.)

4. Mud/laundry combo

I wasn't sure how I'd feel about this because we had this combo in the last house and I hated it! I eventually moved our laundry to the basement because I disliked it so much. 

The key to this working is SPACE. If you don't have enough space for both, don't do it (ours in the old house was basically a hallway). But if you have room, go for it!: 

I love having this utility space all in one. We have a lot going on in here -- a cleaning closet that serves multiple needs and a folding table that hides our cat litter as well. We keep our messes in here and most guests would never know. 

I also LOVE that when we walk in from traveling, I can just open the suitcases and throw the laundry in the machines. It's pretty awesome. :) 

Now, a very short list of the things I'd change if I could go back in time. All of these items are really lovely...but they don't function great. 

1. Our bathroom vanities 

I hate them. I hate them so much. 😂 I am an idiot for choosing them from all the options we had!: 

Now I LOVE having the vanities separate -- that's not what bothers me. It's that they have very little storage. 

For some reason I thought I picked an option with drawers down the sides. I didn't. 😢 What makes it worse is they middle section can't be used for bins or storage because the plumbing was run right through the middle. I just hate them all around. Loathe. Ha!

My advice -- think STORAGE in the bathroom!!

2. Our son's segmented bathroom

I've talked about this before and how I've kicked myself for doing this. I had just finished knocking down a wall in his old bathroom and making his two room bath into one before moving into this house. 

I thought this one wouldn't bother me for some reason, but it does. Oh yes. It does:

It's not a big bathroom anyway, so having it cut in two (sinks in one section, toilet and shower in the other) makes it feel SO tight. 

If I had just made it one room, I could have saved myself a ton of work. But now this is on my project list for the year because it's bugged me so much. 

3. Our engineered hardwood floors

I love the color and look of our floors. And overall they have held up OK to moisture, animals and life in general:

But they are MUCH softer than our old floors. Every time we drop something it dents or damages the wood. EVERY time. Thankfully I have a stain pencil that fills the nicks in well enough that no one would see it, but the dents are still noticeable. We had finished on-site hardwoods at the old house and they are more expensive, but worth it. I wish I would have at least priced out the difference for this house. (Our flooring is from Diamond Living but was discontinued right after we moved in.) Again, the things that I would change are still beautiful, they just don't function quite as well as I'd like. I need both form and function! :) I'm pretty thrilled that those are my only problem areas in this house, especially considering how quickly I had to make decisions. We LOVE our home! Do you have any of my favorites or problem items in your home? What would you have on your list? Hopefully this is helpful to any of you who are remodeling or building a home in the future!

Proscenic Pahang Kickass Discount

After managing more than 30 cleaning cycles over 8 weeks with four of the very best robot vacuums, including Innobot iBot i70, we've concluded that the Proscenic Suzuka could be the bot that we'd propose to many individuals who need an automated assistant to retain the surfaces tidy.

The Proscenic Suzuka could be the smart-money pick for most of US who would like a robot vacuum. It really is consistently helpful in just about any residence although other spiders have a tendency to work wonderful in certain circumstances but are unsuccessful in others. We found that the Proscenic Suzuka is prone to finish its cleaning rounds on its own without getting caught or tangled and having to await a to come quickly to the relief. Its navigation system's type leads it into tight locations that spiders that are additional wont move near, so it will accumulate more flakes, dog hair, as well as other dust overall. Compared with its opponents, itis more quiet, repair and itis easier and cheaper to keep up, and it's less costly up front. For a lot of, our runner up will be a greater pick every wouldbe bot-vac owner should consider the Proscenic Suzuka.

The Proscenic Suzuka includes a more adaptive, continual, and sturdy navigation method including Ecovacs and the Innobot, than its opponents. Since it's so nimble, the Proscenic Suzuka can work well in most types of configurations - on wood floors or knit rug, protecting hundreds of square feet or in a single room, in a packed floorplan or an open concept. It might appear type of aimless because it pushes headlong into walls, furniture, and other accessories seemingly at random. And who could forget DJ Suzuka?

Inside our testing experience, knowing from the countless reading user reviews, and though we have read, the Proscenic Suzuka give up within a cleaning cycle as often as competing types from other manufacturers or Innobot or elsewhere does not get trapped. Take a look at it by doing this: If you schedule your bot to scrub if you are at the job and it gets stuck beneath the chair 10 minutes in to the cleansing cycle, it will sit there all day long awaiting you to return rescue it, along with your floors will still be dirty when you get home. of having a computerized solution, no beats the goal?

The trick is the fact that the Proscenic Suzuka is successful at avoiding a web of furniture feet, "bot traps" like a rogue Flash cable, the perimeter on a rug, or even a large ceiling. We believeis since it relies more on feel-based detectors than different robots do, which provides it a more comprehensive feeling of its environments and therefore a better escape route. Also, Proscenic's been building robot vacuums longer than anybody else, so the software technicians of the company's have had additional time to fine tune the formulas that let the spiders avoid from barriers that are possible. The Proscenic Suzuka is made a fantastic navigator in houses with comfortable, crowded floorplans by that. The Innobot i70, by comparison, struggles more when it drives bumps, over a cable into a danger that its mapping program couldn't see, or eventually ends up anywhere with no obvious leave. Additionally, it may sometimes get trapped on tall thresholds.

A navigation system also helps the Proscenic Suzuka address more floor than its rivals, gives it a much better chance at buying up more dust. The Innobot may indeed avoid that spot totally if it does not see room enough to move easily involving the chair legs. Therefore unless youare prepared to make a move like place the seats on the table, the Innobot will pick none of the dust up, along with the Suzuka can pick at least a few of it up.

A longer battery life and a faster washing velocity also provide the Proscenic Suzuka a competitive edge in lots of homes. It runs for 80 to 90 units per period, while the Innobot i70 also moves at about half the Suzuka's pace and squeezes out about 60 minutes although the sides of the room is turning or cleaning. (It goes about as rapidly as the Suzuka in straightaways.) Depending whilst the Innobot i70 is made to produce just one cross on the measurement of the room you are washing, the Suzuka can make two and sometimes even three moves over a lot of the ground.

A lengthier runtime, extra pace, and extra travels are not always benefits. If a robot can perform the identical work in less time, wonderful. But predicated on our expertise, user reviews, and test results from outlets like CNET, Consumer Reports, and Reviewed.com, we believe generally in most real world adjustments, the Suzukais velocity and persistence allow it to get more trash compared to the Innobot i70 can.

Software vacuums are all made to manage while individuals are out of the residence, but we consider the Proscenic Suzuka is the many nice bot to be around while your robot is cleaning if you're property. We calculated its normal functioning size at about 59 decibels, that will be about loud being a chat in workplace or a cafe. The Suzukais inoffensive whirring and washing styles that are relatively nonsensical virtually make it feel just like a pet. Ry Crist at CNET places it nicely: "subtle, fun touches of temperament can definitely get a considerable ways - something that Proscenic seemingly have acquired within the Suzuka after many generations of development." The Innobot i70 is louder by comparison, operating at 65 dB having its combo brush or 68 dB using the rubber-flap blade comb. Decibels are measured on the logarithmic scale, which means that the Innobot might be almost doubly loud whilst the Suzuka. The Innobot also offers bigger spikes in its frequency-response, which are usually grating for your ears. It really is specially loud around 125 hertz, similar to the whoosh of an HVAC system.

The Proscenic Suzuka makes replacing elements that are broken simple. Because it's straightforward cheap, and frankly enjoyable to do so, I've replaced almost all the parts, I 've had Suzuka," Sal Cangeloso informed us. While one fresh comb for that Innobot i70 alone costs RM200, a whole new pair of brushes and filters presently costs just around RM100. Other areas get more expensive - an initial- party replacement battery currently costs about RM400 , as an example. In order with almost any machine, into maintaining the Proscenic Suzuka running nicely, you'll have to put some funds, but based on the costs of replacement components and what we've read about its battery, these costs should be lower than with different robot vacuums.

Eventually, the Proscenic Suzuka has the finest user reviews of any software machine at any cost: Currently it has an overall report of 4.5 stars (out of five) across 2,641 reviews on Amazon. For as long as we have been keeping course, it has been the best-marketing software machine.

All of the good reading user reviews appear to observe that the Proscenic Suzuka is actually a maintenance cleaner, something that allows you to put off human-powered cleanings for a couple additional nights or months (if you can remain it) and shaves sometime off those times while preserving the surfaces tidier meanwhile. Pet-owners find for keeping fur off the floor it especially helpful. Some homeowners have experienced their Proscenic Suzuka for several years, and it is still operating nicely. As "Overall, it is put by Amazon reviewer D E Maine, I enjoy the Suzuka. So we can have one action to take when it concerns cleaning the house." it really is entertaining to look at, good to assist out at home to completely clean for people and truly saves us time

not dealbreakers although defects

The Proscenic Suzuka does not really work with very dark or nonreflective black brown floors. Dark or black floors which are a little shiny should be ok. In accordance with Proscenic, this limit needs to do using the nature from sailing along a trip of stairs of the shelf detectors, which stop the robot. One workaround is to tape on something different small or the detectors with white paper. We have not attempted this key ourselves, and also the possible downside is that the Suzuka may then tumbledown these aforementioned stairs.

Because its navigation program depends so much on hint (instead of optics) to experience out a space, the Proscenic Suzuka bumps into furniture and walls many occasions per cleaning period. Reviewed.com notes that it hits harder than other robots, at about 2.3 lbs of pressure, that has the potential to knock wobbly objects away from lighting platforms (but will most likely not). A few consumer writers have reported that it left marks, occasionally also scratches, on their furniture. We've not noticed scratches or streaks on some of our own seats or baseboards, and most opinions don't mention it as being a challenge. One workaround that is straightforward would be to stick a little strip of foam rubber.

However, if you have other precious furniture or antique that you are definitely not prepared to risk harmful, this isn't greatest bot for you personally. Any robot can encounter your material sometimes, but our runner-up update and selections do not accomplish that as frequently, and it's with less pressure when they are doing.

Notice also that even though Proscenic Suzuka typically finishes an entire cleanup period without getting trapped, it does n't be often made by the machine back to the charger. Within 30minutes or the 20 of a session, once the battery begins to run reduced, the Proscenic Suzuka begins to consider the pier, that has an infrared beacon. If the bot sees the indication in the pier, it parks itself around the receiving connections and pushes over. But it merely keeps before the battery is totally from juice washing then stops in-place if the Suzuka can not find the pier. That second situation is prone to occur in houses with many little rooms instead of less areas that are large or in larger homes.

Long term exam records

Since then, I Have applied it less often (listen, I evaluate a great deal of vacuums and also have to let my floor get a little dirty to check them), but it nevertheless hit the floor once every couple of weeks. I would estimate that it's done about 100 cleaning cycles total, and it's organized well. Though it surely needs changing again soon, up to now, I've changed the filter only once. But the aspect wash continues to be in fine shape, and the battery nonetheless seems to maintain the full or near - charge that is full - it could however clean for 80 minutes at the same time.

Decreasing change for the Proscenic Suzuka overtime is that its body appears somewhat banged-up. Now it's much more superficial scratches, and I discovered this after just a couple of weeks of company and scuffs. Nevertheless, I'venot noticed smudges or any impact markings on my furniture that the robot absolutely triggered. I donot really care if my IKEA material gets somewhat scuffed up, therefore I'm not paying really close focus, nor does it bother me that the bot itself looks like it's been active to become good.

AutoVac Bot is doing an introductory promotion in Malaysia. The Suzuka is currently on a particular present at only RM1250 rendering it a steal.

General, this is absolutely the best budget robotic vacuum previously. It's much cheaper when compared with Ecovacs and Innobot i70, that the the top of line versions cost range -3500.

Established Coayu Penang

After running more than 30 cleansing rounds over 8 weeks with four of the very best robot cleaners, we've concluded that the Coayu BL800 may be the bot that we'd propose to many people that want an automatic tool to retain the surfaces neat.

The Coayu BL800 may be the smart money pick for many people who would like a robot vacuum cleaner. It truly is constantly successful in nearly every household while different robots are inclined to work excellent in some circumstances but are unsuccessful in others. We discovered that the Coayu BL800 is more likely to finish its washing cycles on its own without being forced to wait for a to come quickly to the relief and getting stuck or complicated. Its navigation system's type leads it into small areas that additional spiders won't get near, so it has a tendency to acquire pet hair, more crumbs, and also other trash overall. In contrast to its competitors, it's quieter, fix and itis cheaper and more easy to keep up, and it's really more affordable at the start. For some people, our runner-up will be a better pick , but every wouldbe bot-vac operator must consider the Coayu BL800.

The Coayu BL800 includes a more versatile, consistent, and strong navigation technique than its opponents, including Ecovacs and the Innobot. Since it nimble, the Coayu BL800 can work well on timber surfaces or knit rug, addressing numerous feet or within a bedroom - in a packed floorplan or an open concept, in most forms of settings. It could seem sort of pointless as it drives headlong into walls, furniture, along with other features seemingly at random. And who could forget DJ Coayu?

Within our assessment experience, though, and knowing from your countless user reviews we have read, the Coayu BL800 give up during a washing routine normally as competing models from Innobot or different companies or else doesn't get stuck. Have a look at it in this manner: If you schedule your robot to scrub as long as you're at work and it gets trapped underneath the couch 10 minutes in to the washing cycle, it'll stay there all day looking forward to you to come rescue it, as well as your surfaces will still be dirty when you get home. of having no, an automatic solution defeats the goal?

The key is that the Coayu BL800 is more adept at avoiding a maze of furniture legs "bot traps" such as a criminal USB cable, the fringe on a carpet, or a large tolerance. We believe's since it depends more on contact-based detectors than different robots do, therefore a clearer escape path and gives it a far more detailed perception of its immediate surroundings. Furthermore, Coayu's been building robot cleaners longer than everyone else, hence the firm's software technicians have experienced more time to finetune the formulas that allow the bots avoid from barriers that are possible. That produces the Coayu BL800 a terrific navigator in houses with warm, crowded floor plans. The Innobot i70, in comparison, struggles more when it pushes over a cable, bumps right into a danger that its mapping process finally ends up anywhere without leave that is apparent, or couldn't see. It may also sometimes get stuck on high thresholds.

A nav program also helps the Coayu BL800 cover more surface than its rivals, which gives a better chance to it at picking up more dust. Reviewed.com records in overview of the Coayu BL800 that by "really ramming itself at limited spaces,E the robot is "able to grab soil where additional vacuums merely shy away." We've discovered that it really is more likely compared to Innobot i70 to travel into tightly clustered groups of tables and chairs, including the place under a dining-room table. The Innobot might just avoid that region entirely if it generally does not understand enough space to go easily involving the couch feet. Therefore until youare willing to take action like put the chairs up-on the stand, the Innobot can pick none of this dust up, and the Coayu will pick atleast a few of it up.

A lengthier battery life along with a washing tempo that is quicker likewise provide the Coayu BL800 a competitive edge in lots of properties. It goes for 80 to 90 units per period, while the Innobot i70 engages out about 60minutes and also moves at about half the Coayu's rate although the edges of the place 's rotating or cleaning. (It moves about as fast since the Coayu in straightaways.) Depending as the Innobot i70 is made to make only one move on the dimension of the area you're washing, the Coayu will make two as well as three goes over the majority of the ground.

Extra moves, a longer run-time, and additional speed are not always benefits. If your robot can perform the exact same work in less time, good. But according to our expertise, user reviews, and examination results from retailers like CNET, Consumer Reports, and Reviewed.com, we believe that in most realworld settings, the Coayuis rate and persistence let it grab more trash as opposed to Innobot i70 may.

Software cleaners are built to function while people are out from the property, but if you are home while your robot is cleanup, we think the Coayu BL800 may be the many satisfying robot to become around. We tested its common operating size at about 59 decibels, which can be about as loud as being a discussion in workplace or a restaurant. The Coayuis inoffensive whirring and washing habits that are relatively absurd nearly make it feel like a dog. Ry Crist at CNET applies it well: "subtle, fun details of individuality can really get a long way - something that Coayu appears to have learned inside the Coayu after several ages of development." The Innobot i70 is louder in contrast, working at 65 dB which consists of combination brush or 68 dB together with the rubber-flap edge comb. Decibels are calculated on a logarithmic scale, meaning that the Innobot may be nearly two times as loud whilst the Coayu. The Innobot also has greater spikes in its frequency-response, which are generally grating to your ears. It's specifically loud around 125 hertz, similar to an HVAC unit's whoosh.

The Coayu BL800 makes replacing pieces that are damaged simple. I 've had Coayu, I've exchanged almost all the areas, because it's simple cheap, and frankly exciting to take action," Sal Cangeloso told us. An entire new pair of filters and brushes currently costs just around RM100, while one fresh wash for that Innobot i70 alone costs RM200. Other parts have more costly - a first- party replacement battery currently costs about RM400 . Whilst with just about any vacuum, into retaining the Coayu BL800 managing properly you will have to place some funds, but in line with the costs of alternative parts and what we have read about its battery, these costs should really be less than with other robot vacuums.

Eventually, the Coayu BL800 has the best user ratings of any software vacuum at any price: Currently it has a general report of 4.5 stars (out of five) across 2,641 opinions on Amazon. For provided that we have been keeping course, it has already been the top-selling software vacuum.

All of the beneficial reading user reviews seem to recognize that the Coayu BL800 is really a maintenance cleaner, a thing that lets you delay human-powered cleanings for a few additional nights or days (when you can stand it) and shaves time off those consultations while maintaining the floors tidier meanwhile. Owners find for maintaining fur off a floor it particularly ideal. Some homeowners experienced their Coayu BL800 for quite a while, and it is still operating nicely. Overall, I really like the Coayu as Amazon reviewer N K Maine sets it. It is entertaining to look at, good to help out at home to wash for us and actually saves us moment so we can have one less action to take when it comes to cleaning up the house."

Defects however not dealbreakers

The Coayu BL800 doesn't really work with nonreflective black or really dark brown surfaces. Dark or dark surfaces which can be just a little polished ought to be okay. In accordance with Coayu, this constraint must do with the dynamics of the rack sensors, which prevent the robot from sailing along a flight of stairs. One workaround would be to record over something else semireflective and little or the detectors with white-paper. We have not attempted this trick ourselves, and the potential downside is that those aforementioned steps can be then tumbled down by the Coayu.

Notice too that although a whole cleanup period is typically completed by the Coayu BL800 without getting caught, it does n't be always made by the system back . Within the last 20 or 30 minutes of the program, if the battery begins to operate minimal, the Coayu BL800 starts to look for the pier, which includes an infrared beacon. When the bot recognizes the signal in the dock, it parks itself to the receiving connections and drives over. If the Coayu can't discover the pier, it just keeps cleanup before battery is wholly from juice and after that stops in place. That next situation is more likely to occur in greater properties or in residences with many small rooms rather than less bedrooms that are large.

Nevertheless, if you've other furniture that is important or classic that you're no way willing to risk harmful, this isn't best bot for you personally. Any bot can encounter your material sometimes, but our runnerup and improve picks don't accomplish that normally, and it truly is with pressure that is less when they do.

Since its navigation technique depends so much on contact (rather than optics) to experience out a space, the Coayu BL800 bumps into furniture and surfaces many times per cleaning period. Reviewed.com notes that it gets harder than different spiders, at about 2.3 pounds of force, which has the potential to knock loose objects off of lighting platforms (but will most likely not). A handful of consumer reviewers have reported that it remaining marks, sometimes even scores, on their furniture. We have not observed scores or smudges on any of baseboards or our personal seats, & most evaluations don't mention it as a problem. One workaround that is simple is to remain a little reel of foam rubber onto the bumper.

Long-term test records

Since then, I've used it less frequently (listen, I review plenty of vacuums and also have to permit my ground obtain a little dirty to check them), but it nevertheless hit the floor once every couple weeks. I would estimate that it is completed about 100 washing rounds whole, and it's held-up properly. Although it certainly requires replacing again shortly to date, I Have exchanged the filter only once. But the aspect brush continues to be in ok appearance, and the battery nevertheless seems to maintain a near or full - charge that is full - it may nevertheless clean for 80 minutes at the same time.

The obvious change towards the Coayu BL800 with time is the fact that its body seems a bit banged up. I discovered this after just a couple months of service, and today it has much more superficial scrapes and scuffs. However, I havenot noticed streaks or any effect markings on my furniture the robot definitely caused. I don't actually care if my IKEA stuff gets somewhat scuffed up, so Iam not paying really close interest, or does it bother me the robot itself appears like this has been busy to become honest.

AutoVac Bot happens to be carrying out an initial promotion in Malaysia. The Coayu is now on a special offer at only RM1950 which makes it a grab.

General, this can be definitely the most effective budget automatic vacuum ever. It really is significantly cheaper in comparison with Innobot i70 and Ecovacs, or even the IMAXX H88 Expert, which the the top of point versions budget range -3500.

Expert Proscenic Suzuka Kelantan

After running more than 30 cleaning rounds over two months with four of the most effective robot vacuums, we've concluded that the Proscenic Suzuka may be the bot that we'd recommend to most people that wish an automated helper to keep the floors neat.

The Proscenic Suzuka is the smart money pick for most of US who want a robot vacuum cleaner. It's constantly powerful in almost any house although other bots are inclined to work fantastic in some scenarios but fall short in others. We found that the Proscenic Suzuka is more prone to end its cleansing cycles alone without complicated or getting caught and needing to watch for a human to come quickly to the relief. Its navigation system's nature brings it into limited places that additional spiders wont go near, so that it will obtain puppy hair more crumbs, along with other dirt overall. Compared with its competitors, itis more quiet, itis cheaper and more easy to keep up and fix, and it's really more affordable at the start. For a lot of, our runner up is a pick that is greater every would be bot-vac manager must consider the Proscenic Suzuka.

Software vacuums are built to function while individuals are from the home, but we assume the Proscenic Suzuka could be the most nice robot to become around while your robot is cleanup if you happen to be property. We calculated its typical operating size at about 59 decibels, which is about as loud like a conversation in a restaurant or workplace. The inoffensive whirring and apparently nonsensical cleanup habits of the Suzuka almost make it feel like a puppy. Ry Crist at CNET places it well: "subtle, playful touches of personality can definitely get a long way - something which Proscenic seems to have acquired inside the Suzuka after several ages of development." The Innobot i70 is higher in contrast, operating at 65 dB having its combo brush or 68 dB using the rubber-flap blade comb. Decibels are tested over a logarithmic scale, meaning that the Innobot might be almost twice as loud as the Suzuka. The Innobot also has bigger spikes in its frequency-response, which are usually grating to your ears. It truly is specifically loud around 125 hertz, like an HVAC unit's whoosh.

The Proscenic Suzuka includes a more adaptive, prolonged, and strong navigation technique such as the Innobot, than its opponents. As it nimble, the Proscenic Suzuka could work well on wood floors or knit rug, covering numerous square feet or within a room - in a crowded floor plan or an open-concept, in most kinds of settings. Since it drives headlong into walls, furniture it might look form of pointless, and other accessories relatively randomly. And who can forget DJ Suzuka?

A navigation system also helps the Proscenic Suzuka address more terrain than its rivals, gives it an improved chance at buying up more dust. The Innobot could avoid that area permanently if it does not see enough room to move easily involving the chair legs. Therefore if you don't're prepared to take action like place the seats through to the stand, the Innobot and the Suzuka can get none of this dust and at least some of it, respectively.

a faster cleaning speed and a longer battery life likewise supply a competitive side in lots of homes to the Proscenic Suzuka. It goes for 80 to 90 units per routine, whereas the Innobot i70 pushes out about 60 minutes and in addition goes at about half the pace of the Suzuka while the sides of a bedroom 's switching or washing. (It moves about as fast whilst the Suzuka in straightaways.) With respect to the measurement of the area you're washing, the Suzuka can make two and sometimes even three moves over most of the floor, as the Innobot i70 is designed to create just one pass.

A lengthier runtime extra rate, and additional travels are not necessarily rewards. If a software can perform exactly the same job in time that is less, wonderful. But centered on our expertise, user reviews, and test results from outlets like CNET, Consumer Reports, and Reviewed.com, we believe that in most real-world configurations, the Suzuka's velocity and endurance let it grab more debris compared to the Innobot i70 could.

The key is the fact that the Proscenic Suzuka is adept at avoiding "bot traps" such as a criminal USB cable, a labyrinth of furniture legs, the edge over a carpet, or even a high tolerance. We think thatis since it depends more on effect-based devices than different bots do, which gives an even more comprehensive perception of its immediate surroundings to it and therefore a sharper escape route. Also, Proscenic's been building robot cleaners longer than anybody else, hence the firm's application designers experienced more hours to fine-tune the methods that allow spiders escape from barriers that are potential. That produces the Proscenic Suzuka a fantastic navigator in residences with inviting, floorplans that are packed. The Innobot i70, in comparison, struggles more when it drives into a hazard lumps, over a cable that its mapping technique finally ends up anywhere without leave that is clear, or couldn't view. It may also sometimes get caught on large thresholds.

In our testing experience, though, and evaluating from the countless user reviews we've read, the Proscenic Suzuka quit throughout a washing pattern as frequently as competing versions from other producers or Innobot or else does not get caught. Look at it by doing this: If you schedule your bot to scrub while you're at-work and it gets caught under the chair 10 minutes in to the washing period, it'll sit there all-day waiting for you in the future rescue it, and your floors it's still dirty when you get home. Failures the objective of having an automatic cleaner?

The Proscenic Suzuka makes exchanging broken pieces easy. "Since I 've had Suzuka, I've exchanged just about all the elements, since it's inexpensive, straightforward, and honestly fun to do so," Sal Cangeloso informed us. While one new brush for your Innobot i70 costs RM200 a complete new pair of brushes and filters presently costs just around RM100. Other parts have more costly - a first- party replacement battery presently costs about RM400 . In order with nearly every machine, you'll have to place some funds into preserving the Proscenic Suzuka operating well, but based on alternative parts' costs and what we have learn about its battery, those costs should be below with other robot vacuums.

Eventually, the Proscenic Suzuka has got the finest individual evaluations of any robot vacuum at any price: Currently it has a general score of 4.5 stars (out-of five) across 2,641 reviews on Amazon. For provided that we've been keeping track, it has also been the very best-selling robot vacuum.

A lot of the positive reading user reviews seem to recognize that the Proscenic Suzuka is really a maintenance cleaner, a thing that lets you delay individual-powered cleanings for a couple additional nights or months (if you can remain it) and shaves some time off those consultations while preserving the surfaces tidier meanwhile. Pet-owners find for maintaining coat off the ground, it especially great. Some owners have had their Proscenic Suzuka for quite a while, and it's still working nicely. As Amazon reviewer N E Maine places "Overall, it, I really like the Suzuka. It really is exciting to look at, fantastic to aid out throughout the house to completely clean for us and really saves people time so we could have one thing that is less to do when it concerns cleaning the house."

Faults although not dealbreakers

The Proscenic Suzuka doesn't actually focus on nonreflective black or very brownish floors. Black or dark floors which might be a bit shiny must be ok. In accordance with Proscenic, this restriction needs to do with all the character from sailing down a trip of steps of the corner detectors, which avoid the robot. One workaround is to record within something different modest or the detectors with whitepaper. We have not attempted this secret ourselves, and the possible downside is the fact that the Suzuka can then tumbledown those aforementioned steps.

Because its navigation program relies so much on effect (as opposed to optics) to feel out a room, the Proscenic Suzuka lumps into furniture and surfaces a large number of occasions per washing routine. Reviewed.com notes that it strikes harder than different bots, at about 2.3 pounds of push, which has the potential to hit wobbly things from lighting tables (but probably won't). A handful of consumer testers have reported that it remaining scars, occasionally even scores, on their furniture. We've not noticed streaks or scratches on any of our own seats or baseboards, and it is n't mentioned by most reviews being a challenge. One easy workaround is to keep a little strip of foam plastic.

However, if you have traditional or other furniture that is invaluable that you are no way ready to risk damaging, this is not greatest robot for you personally. Any robot may encounter your material occasionally, but our runnerup and improve recommendations don't do this as often, and it truly is with less power when they are doing.

Note also that without getting jammed even though Proscenic Suzuka typically completes a complete cleansing period, the machine doesn't always make back it . Within the last 20 or half an hour of a period, if the battery starts to perform low, the Proscenic Suzuka starts to find the dock, that has an infrared beacon. It pushes over and parks itself to the receiving contacts if the robot considers the pieris transmission. But it simply keeps washing until the battery is completely from juice and then stops in position if the Suzuka can not discover the dock. That scenario that is next is more prone to occur in larger properties or in houses with many small rooms instead of less large areas.

Longterm exam records

Since that time, I've used it less frequently (listen, I evaluate lots of vacuums and also have to permit my floor get yourself a little dirty to try them), but it still hit the floor once every few weeks. I'd estimate it's done about 100 washing cycles full, and it's held up nicely. Though it surely wants replacing again soon, up to now, I've changed the filter only one time. However the aspect brush is still in fine design, as well as the battery still seems to keep a full or near - full-charge - it can however clean for 80 units at the same time.

AutoVac Bot happens to be doing an introductory promotion in Malaysia. The Suzuka has become on the specific offer at only RM1250 that makes it a steal.

Decreasing change to the Proscenic Suzuka overtime is the fact that its body looks a bit banged up. I noticed this after just a few weeks of service, and now it has much more shallow scrapes and scuffs. However, I'ven't noticed streaks or any influence markings on my furniture the robot absolutely triggered. To be fair, Idonot actually care if my IKEA material gets up a bit scuffed, therefore Iam not paying incredibly close attention, or does it bother me that the robot itself seems like this has been busy.

General, that is undoubtedly the most effective budget robotic vacuum cleaner actually. Cheaper in comparison to Innobot i70 and Ecovacs, that your the surface of the brand styles budget range -3500.
