   BMessina – January 9, 2022

   I’ve tried the Roomba, a cheap off-brand, The Shark iRobot, and now this model. This is by far the best of the 4! I’m so happy with this purchase! The suction is much stronger than the others, it moves faster, the collection bin is the largest of the 4, and it doesn’t get stuck as much as the other 4. AND it’s not that expensive!!!!

   My first experience did not go well with this Bot, but after a call to customer service (great telephone customer service, by the way), I made a couple of modifications that have helped. At first the Bot (we call her ‘Rosie’ after the maid robot on the cartoon The Jetsons) would not climb onto two of the rugs on our tile floor. At first I thought maybe they were too plush/tall and it couldn’t climb them. Then it just wouldn’t go at all, just undocked itself on my command, was sluggish, circled around a bit and redocked itself. That’s when I called customer service. The Rep asked if there was BLACK coloring on any of the rugs, which there was on the two rugs it was avoiding. Well, the CLIFF SENSORS read BLACK as a CLIFF!! Go figure. He suggested taping over the 3 cliff sensors on the bottom, taking care not to put tape directly ON the sensor. Well, that has worked like a charm! I just have to remember to close the basement door since the cliff sensors have been disabled. As well as the docking issue, he said it was probably weak on charge and may not have docked properly to charge (verified: after a good charge it works great). I’ve been using Rosie for 3 weeks now since the customer service call and adjustments, and it’s working GREAT. Last night it ran for 2 hours straight and did a nice job. We have 2 Border Collie dogs that shed a fair amount, and no dog hair found. Gotta love that. I’ll update this review if things change, but right now I’m happy. REVIEW UPDATE: I almost returned this and bought a ROOMBA. The Roomba arrived, was very hard to program, and it has the same cliff sensor issue as the iLife, so it wouldn’t go onto my black edged carpets, which meant taping over the sensors. After one cleaning, dog hair wrapped all around the brushes and took almost a half hour to clean out. That being said, I sent the Roomba back (really hated it) and kept the iLife. That being said, the iLife is superior when it comes to price and day to day maintenance. Aftermarket filters are readily available (cheap) and I’m considering buying a 2nd and maybe even a 3rd one (since we have a split level house). Really loving this little bug!

   Money was tight and I couldn’t afford a new roomba, so I took a chance on this little dude! 1st day on the job and I’m already more impressed with it than I was my roomba! Not only did it do a great job sweeping up my darling fur babies fur tumbleweeds that developed faster than I can shake a broom at, but the real test was in the bathroom where they must throw raves in their litter pan whenever I leave for work. The roomba I had would usually assist in making sure it flung all over. Stepping out of the shower onto Kitty Litter Beach is gross. This little beauty came in and literally cleaned house. It transitioned over my hardwood and rugs without crying out for help and made it up and over the small ledge between the hallway and bathroom that the ol roomba just wouldn’t or couldn’t.

   Honest Truth – January 16, 2022

   We purchased this unit during an Amazon Prime day for $109.99 and waited 6 months so before reviewing it so we a complete picture of the results.

   A few notes:

   The vacuum is designed for hardwood floors mainly and there are add-ons so you can use it as a mop (though the results are iffy at best in that regard).

   The unit randomly navigates its surrounding, which is not ideal but given the price, to be expected. It doesn’t scuff anything it comes into contact with though, and we have had good luck with it circling back to home when the dustbin is full or the battery is low.

   For more specifics on results, we have two dogs (both shed), and the photo attached (though gross) shows how much hair it can suck up off hardwood and low pile carpet. That giant-looking dust bunny was packed into the dustbin and partly in the floor opening after one particularly heavy session. [To reassure any readers out there are dogs are pugs, well-fed happy little guys, but since we have a mix of dark hardwood and low-pile are rugs they tend to own the place with their shedding.]

   I stopped at giving 5 stars for three reasons:
   1) It has a small dustbin (300 ml),
   2) It has issues with low-mid pile carpet/rugs (or anything thicker/deeper) and will get stuck from time to time,
   3) It will not always navigate back to the charging station correctly just because. Maybe it feels unappreciated at times and is revolting.

   Overall, given the price, this is definitely a good purchase if you are looking for an economical way to supplement deeper monthly or bi-monthly cleaning – which as any pet owner knows is a must.

   Steph O. – January 25, 2022

   I just got this yesterday and I love it! Says to charge overnight before 1st use to get best battery life and to leave it powered on of going to use on regular basis. It comes with a remote that you can steer it if needed, spot cleaning for messes and make it do the edges!! You can set a schedule as well. It also comes with extra parts.
   I have hardwood floors and a dog with long hair that is shedding like crazy, my hard floors haven’t been swept in almost 2 weeks (ain’t nobody got time for dat) and it did great at getting all those hair dust bunnies! I have 2 area rugs, one of them is hand woven and I was worried about it messing up the threads but it’s good on that because it’s more gentle than a regular vacuum however it doesn’t get the dog hair as well but I didn’t expect it to do awesome the rugs.
   Be sure to empty the basin often because it fills up fast (that’s a good thing because it’s doing it’s job)
   5 stars for the price and quality, you get what you pay for on this one and I’m glad I didn’t fork out $400 for a different one!!

   Grandpa – January 31, 2022

   Grandma and I bought this for our cat. We seen these on The Internets and wanted something for our cat to ride around on to. The instruction manual don’t say anything about cat riding. It does a good job of a vacuuming but that’s not why we bought.

   Grandma and I are in our 80s and aren’t suppose to be buying things without talking about them with the kids. We shoulnd of bought that new camaro cause we only had them spy into our spending ever since.

   Lucky for me I still have one investment they don’t know nothin about. So grandma and me buy what ever the hell we want and hide it from 4 prying eyes.

   10 August 2021 (update #1)

   I have run the V80 Max, aka KENÓ, through multiple real-world tests, sometimes twice per day (after full battery charge), in order to determine the full capability & functionality. The information below are the results of this one persons tests.

   ~ Tested the cliff sensors. My stairs have a 3 foot by 4 foot landing. I placed KENÓ on the landing and sent him off on his journey. The V80 Max sensed the cliff and changed direction. After about 3 minutes, the V80 Max ‘determined’ that it had cleaned the entire area and then stopped. I did not know the V80 Max had this functionality. My guess is the V80 Max can determine the area it is cleaning and then stop when the V80 Max has figured out it cleaned the entire area. Not a bad function.

   ~ I wanted to see if KENÓ would find his way back to the charging station if he started his journey in a different location of the floor and not from the charging station. As soon as KENÓ finished cleaning, he found his way back to the charging station. I did not know this functionality existed. It appears that no matter where the V80 Max begins, it will always find its way back to the charging station.

   ~ There have been some issues with the remote control and the cleaning schedule. After setting the cleaning schedule for a specific time, the V80 Max started at the designated time and did its thing. However, when the cleaning schedule was changed (via the remote control), the V80 Max started at the new time, but only cleaned for 25 – 30 minutes before returning to the charging station. Not sure what is going on as this behavior is sporadic. Sometimes it cleans the entire area. Sometimes it does not.

   ~ On several test runs, when KENÓ completed cleaning (about 1 hour) and returned to the charging station, I immediately started the V80 Max again to test battery capacity. The V80 Max ran for another consecutive cleaning schedule about 45 minutes in length. That would mean battery life is really about 1.75 hours versus the 1 hour life listed in the operational manual. I have not tried to operate KENÓ for 3 consecutive runs.

   ~ KENÓ was moved to the second floor (3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom, about 1000 sq ft area) without the charging station. The V80 Max was sent on its journey. It cleaned the entire area without issue. Keep in mind there are area rugs in each room. At one point, the V80 Max got caught up in the fringe of the area rug. However, it was able to back it self up as soon as it sensed an issue and just kept on its way. It appears the V80 Max will first try to ‘free’ itself when faced with a potential issue. Pretty cool. When KENÓ finished cleaning the entire area, it just stopped in close proximity to where it was placed down.

   I am still impressed with the ability of this device. The capacity of the dust bin is awesome! The dust bin holds so much and is very easy to clean. Today I loaded the app and connected KENÓ to the home Wifi. Over the next several weeks I will run tests via the Wifi and see how the V80 Max performs. I will make another edit to this review.

   Hope all this helps.

   Purchased this product in July 2021. Very simple to put together for use (took about 5 minutes). Charged it up for six hours before first use. For context, my main floor is an open floor concept with furniture, tables, chairs and other obstacles. Floor plan covers kitchen, dining room, living room, laundry room, bathroom (about 800 square feet total). There are welcome mats/rugs in front of both entry doors and one low-pile area rug (5×8) in front of sectional sofa. All floors in my house are either hard wood or tile. Any rugs are low-pile area rugs, small in size.

   First usage, V80 Max (which I named KENÓ, it is Greek for vacuum, I know, corny) was pretty good. KENÓ does his little pattern picking up everything in its path. A good item about the V80 Max, is there is no roller brush mechanism that picks up dust/dirt. Instead, there is a square opening where the dust/dirt gets sucked into. I think this is a good feature because the roller brush typically needs maintenance to clean the axle, preventing the axle from getting jammed. The V80 Max took its entire battery life, about one (1) hour, to clean the entire 800 square feet. Because of its zig zag pattern, it actually cleaned the area twice.

   When the battery ran low, KENÓ began his journey back to the base to recharge. The V80 Max follows the same cleaning pattern to make its way back to the charging station. I was hoping the V80 Max would just make a direct route to the charging station. This is not the case. It took a bit for the V80 Max to make its way back. The end result, KENÓ found his way to the charging station and re-docked without incident.
   The dust bin, which is good size, was very easy to empty and the three (3) filters, stacked like a sandwich, were just as easy to clean. After a second six (6) hours of charging, KENÓ was sent on his second journey. Again, no issues navigating all the obstacles. And full disclosure, some were pretty tight quarters. The remote control lets you select different cleaning patterns. I just left the pattern as a zig zag pattern. The remote control button to send the V80 Max back to the charging station does just that. Again, the V80 Max does NOT make a straight path back – it follows the same zig zag pattern while utilizing a fraction of its power.

   I did use the remote control to set up a scheduled cleaning for the second test run. KENÓ started right up at the scheduled time, performed the task, and returned to the charging station without incident when the battery got low. I have not tested the stair sensor capability just yet. Only because I have not moved KENÓ to the second floor (3 bedrooms, 1 bathroom). Perhaps in the future.
   The ease of ordering replacement filters and brushes was as easy as doing a search on Amazon. A set of 10 replacement filters along with 3 sets of rotor brushes are $14.99. Good items to have just in case. Upon further research, I discovered there is a ‘mop’ attachment (swap out vacuum attachment for mop attachment) that can be ordered for the V80 Max. In reality, odds are slim-to-none that I will order that attachment to turn the V80 Max from a vacuum into a mop.

   Please keep in mind I have had the V80 Max for less than one week and used it twice. Both times I was impressed with its functionality. I will use the V80 Max at least once per week, using the automatic schedule function to run KENÓ at night. It is quiet enough to run at night while sleeping. If there are any adverse issues in the future, I will update this post.

   Overall, very satisfied with the product, its ability, and the price. Would recommend to my family and friends that have hard wood or tile floors and no pets.

   Hoped this review helps.

   Cheers

   Botanical SA – February 6, 2022

   I sent this robotic back. Not because we didn’t like it, but because it didn’t do a good job on carpet. On our harwood, and the tile floors it did a very good job. It cleaned around objects nicely. Slowed itself when it came close to a wal and when it senced the kitchen cabnets kick plate.
   It captures dust, loose pet har, small bits, but it can’t pick up larger debris or the cat hair on the carpet. It did roll the hair on the carpet into a ball of sorts so I could pick that up by hand. It cleand in corners nicely because the sweeping bristles are long. It did run over the cats food tray where we have their dry food and water bowl sitting on the tile floor. It knocked around the food bowl spilling some of the food, but the water bowl remained stationary because of it’s weight. The unit proceeded to sweep up the dry food it spilled though. .
   The dust catcher is small unit and will need to be watched and emptied when full. The filter is also small and will get plugged. I used a can of air and blew the dust off of it. It came with three filters and a remote.
   If iLife, at some point in the future, makes a unit with a sweeping brush that will clean carpert you can bet I will purchase it. This robot has good suction, just not brush for sweeping carpet. If you have tile, wood, lenoleum this robot is a good choice. Realize that the dust catcher is small and it will need to be cleaned a few times if doing a whole house sweep.

   d – February 8, 2022

   I have had my robot friend, Simon, for a week. First impressions upon opening the box was an “Oooo Aahhh”. The directions said to let your new robot friend charge overnight before first use, but of course, I ran him around immediately to just see how he works! He worked for about ten minutes. I couldn’t figure out how to get him to his home (charging station), but it turns out, he can find his own way home just fine. I recommend that you do take a few minutes to read the directions and familiarize yourself with the remote. It took about 4 hours or so for Simon to fully charge, then I turned him loose. Let me just say, I thought my floors were clean, or, at least, pretty clean. As it turns out, they were not. They were not clean at all. Simon has picked up so much fur, dirt, dust, it’s unbelievable. My floors have literally never looked better! They are CLEAN. For real clean. I’ve always had a hard time cleaning under the bed, but now I don’t have to worry about it at all, because my robot friend takes care of it.

   I have all hardwood floors and tile. I also have a few throw rugs, some thick, some thin. Simon does a perfect job on the floors, and has no problems navigating over the throw rugs (though he might turn up a corner, but he will run back over it and still get it clean). I don’t think your robot friend would work very well if you have a lot of or mostly carpet. If you have hardwood or mostly hardwood, you will love your new robot friend.

   Simon mostly gets from room to room okay – the “up” entry points he cannot do on his own. For example, he cannot get over the hump into my kitchen, but he can get down the hump. He also cannot get over the hump to get in the bathrooms. This is actually fine for me, because I prefer to control when he goes into the kitchen anyway so that I can shake off the rugs and/or pick up the cat food and water bowls and any shoes or other things that might be on the floor. I just put a bar stool in his way to keep him from exiting the kitchen when it’s time for him to clean in the kitchen.

   Simon will clean for about 3 or 3.5 hours. He does not have a “plan” so to speak, not like a person would say go from corner to the center of the room, but he is still very thorough, and obviously, his plan is way better than mine since my floors are so much cleaner than they ever were when I was in charge. My advice is to just trust the process and let your robot friend find his way around on his own! Just make sure that you pick up any cords, especially small cords like phone charging cords, and shoe laces or the like, so that he doesn’t accidentally grab onto something he shouldn’t. Simon also has sensors so that when he comes to a piece of furniture or a wall, he will slow down so as to gently bump it before he turns off into a new direction. I have also noticed that if he comes into contact with a chair or table leg, he will often go in a circle all the way around the leg to clean around it.

   Once your robot friend is done doing your dirty work for you, he will go back home on his own. If your robot friend cannot find his way home, you may not have provided him enough space. Is that any way to treat your new best friend?? Make sure that he has several feet of clear space in front of his charging station, and that there are a few feet of clear space on the sides of the charging station as well. Also, make sure to empty out his dust bin after every use.

   One of the fortunate side effects of having my new robot friend, is the “give a mouse a cookie” effect it seems to have had. Give a person a clean floor, and the person may say oh, it looks so clean in here, let me pick up this shirt and put it away. The person then notices that the bathroom trash can is full; since the floors look so nice, the bathroom should be clean, too *cleans bathroom*, and so on.

   The only thing about my new robot friend, which isn’t enough to bother me at all, is that he is, well, he’s not super loud, but he’s not very quiet either. So, if you are watching tv, you may need to turn it up just a bit if you are running your robot friend while you’re at home. Well worth it for the service he provides, though.

   Overall, I do recommend this little robot. I am very pleased with this purchase. If you’re in the market for a robot floor cleaning wizard, don’t hesitate to click that Buy Now button.

    I think your happiness with a robot vacuum depends upon your expectation(s). I think I’ve had it for about a month and half now. The things I love most about this product are that (i) it goes under my coffee table (which has low clearance and which we refer to as the “black hole”), sofas and beds; (2) it gets up against my baseboards and toekicks in the kitchen; and (3) it keeps my floors tidy on a regular basis. Before the robot, I used to vacuum about once a week. I run the robot (or “release the Hound” as we say) a couple of times a week and I don’t feel bad if I have unexpected guests. I have a mixture of flooring types, and the robot generally transitions well among them. It occasionally gets caught on a small area rug, but my regular vacuum would get sucked up right away. Don’t expect it to go over any rugs that don’t have a rubber backing, it will just push them around. Also best to keep small cords tucked away. I have used twist ties in some cases to secure them. Even though it is round, because the brushes stick out, it gets into corners pretty well. I don’t expect this to replace my regular vacuum, but it sure helps me a lot. I don’t have any pets at the moment, so I can’t say anything about that. I would recommend running the regular vacuum before your first use because the dust canister probably won’t hold all of the dust it picks up. Each time I run it there is less in the dust canister, so I feel confident that it is working well. My husband has allergies and I am hopeful that it will pick up dust and pollen and help ease his seasonal allergies.

    Ok…if your looking for a robot vacuum to get deep DOWN cleaning in your carpet this is not the one (I doubt any robot vacuum is imo). I have 4 pets and daily vacuuming is not always accomplished. I needed something that will get the pet hair and kitchen crumbs up. I was amazed at how well this did this and at how much it was able to collect (hair, crumbs, kitty litter and dirt) not to mention how quietly this goes about its business. Yes your have to watch it the first couple times it runs because you just never know what it may get caught up on. My first run I just let it go. I found (this should have been a no brainer though) it can get caught up on cords and “some” area carpets depending on thickness of the area rugs. It also bumped my (gas burning) access panel to fireplace which made the panel open (it’s just a touch release) and then proceeded to climb over the panel and go inside and got stuck. Never crossed my mind that that would even happen! It didn’t hurt anything, just got stuck. I also didn’t move any chairs from around the dining room table so while it managed to get under there it took quite awhile to figure it’s way out but it finally did. So basically yes you need to watch and figure out what obstacles might get it stuck. It has no problem moving most light things out of its way such as shoes, pet toys etc. which I found awesome. On a full charge it did my familyroom, kitchen/diningroom, front livingroom, master bedroom and bathroom (my home is 2600 sq feet total. This covered the downstairs of that portion) and made it’s way back home to it’s station after the battery ran out. Approximately 1 hr. 20 min. It will go under tables if it will fit. So after you figure out what obstacles you need to move….its set it and forget it (except cleaning out the dust bin). Mine goes off each day at a set time.The only thing I wish this would do is climb my furniture to get the pet hair off of. This is a great little machine and I am about to purchase 2 more. One for the upstairs and one for my sis who has hardwood floors. I will up reviews on how well it does on the hardwoods.

    Ricardo Cox – March 3, 2022

    Today was the second day I use this vacuum cleaner. It charges maybe in four hours and that lasts for two hours of operation. That little sucker (literally) has gone all around my apartment and has made my self esteem regarding how clean I thought I was go down below the minimums. The first day collected so much dust and hair from the floor that the dust bin was full after the two hours of operation, so it is important to clean it after every use. Today in it’s second round was less dust to vacuum so you can see how effective it is. This thing goes up the three carpets I have in my apartment, the thickest one being maybe six milimiter tall. It went under the bed in the room, between chairs, in the bathroom, closet and kitchen. My apartment is relatively small 70 square meters, and in two hours it easily made two runs in every room. So, very happy with the product, until now it does all it’s supposed to do. I walked behind it to see how it behaved, didn’t get stuck and worked on the edges and the center of the room. Finally after two hours it goes in home mode and docks in its charger without any problems. Something to have in mind is that I have no pets, so the hair laying on the floor comes mostly from my head and my chest, I like to run around with little to no clothes. I named it Rosey as in the Jetsons and I’m so satisfied with Rosey that my wife made me choose between her and the vacuum cleaner. Too bad, I’m going to miss my wife.
    In a few days I’ll update the review.

    Aria – March 6, 2022

    This little guy does a decent job cleaning, but it’s not very smart. Ok for the price.

    On the positive side, it has a long charge life, running for about two hours if you let it. It cleans my hardwood, tile, as well as rugs and low pile carpet. It really helps me control all the dog fur that my pup sheds everyday. With a new baby, that’s something that has been a concern, and this is the main reason I purchased this product. I will still use a Swiffer and occasional upright vacuum after this robo-vac makes his rounds, but this guy gives me a little more free time.

    The vac has a pretty good sensor that prevents it from running into walls or falling down stairs. It does hit some chairs but not very hard. It has only gotten stuck a couple times (under cabinets and a low coffee table).

    On the negative side, it moves in very random patterns, often going over the same areas multiple times and missing others. I’ve actually closed doors to certain rooms after it goes in so it doesn’t go in again. It’s just a little unfortunate that I can’t do that in open areas.

    It’s also pretty loud (especially on hardwood; it’s not so bad on carpet and rugs), but it’s fine if you don’t mind white noise. I can still hear the TV, and my baby sleeps through the vacuuming.

    When it runs out of battery, it turns off the vacuum and returns to its base to charge. It will eventually get there, but I’ve seen it turn the wrong direction even when it is right next to the base.

    Supposedly you can set this guy to run at a certain time every day (only each day, you can’t pick only certain days), but it has not run when I’ve scheduled it. Maybe I did not set it correctly.

    In sum…

    Pros:
    Long battery life
    Picks up dog hair and dirt
    Works on hardwood, tile, rugs, and low carpet

    Cons:
    Moves around randomly
    Loud
    Doesn’t find it’s home well, but it will eventually get there

    Overall, it is decent for the price. It does what I need it to do. I wasn’t willing to spend $800 on a good robot vacuum, so it seems you get what you pay for.

    Kindle Customer – March 6, 2022

    My partner and I have pets and we both work and we have hardwood floors and we like a clean common space. We were sweeping 2-3 times a day and still getting frustrated in between. Then came Rosie. Our house is so clean, our life is so happy! We got her on sale. I can’t think of any reason to get a more expensive vacuum unless you just have to have the app integration. Or maybe if you want the mopping feature, because that would be nice.

    She automatically turns on every morning and goes until she gets low on battery. She then docks herself to charge. The first few runs, we had to empty the container every 20 minutes, but now. It can hold a day’s worth pretty easily.

    Keep it away from thinner (charging) cords! It really messed up a brush the first week we had her.

    (The photo is her next to what she got over about 3 days)

    Note: Definitely more effective on hardwood than carpet. She does get dust and dirt out of carpet, but she leaves bigger debris like strings and fuzz

    Crispee – March 7, 2022

    After window shopping Roombas and being put off by the high price I took a chance on this thinking “Well if it doesn’t work great it isn’t that expensive.” I have mainly used this in a large downstairs with all wood and area rugs. I had dry mopped and wet mopped it just 4-5 days previous and figured it wouldn’t get much but i wanted to see how it figured the place out. i ran it two times before checking the bin and wow — so much hair, dust, and other little bits i could not believe. It even seems to take care with many things not to slam into them but it can’t notice things like a chair leg as well. On an area that is many hundred square feet there were not a whole lot of places it missed but frankly – if you run it often it will go and get the the next time. And it finds its way back to the base just great – I would recommend making sure you have it clear enough to have a good path to find its home.

    Overall I’m very impressed. Not alot of additional features like apps and stuff but for what it does, well worth the purchase. Will see how long it lasts.

    Crystal – March 7, 2022

    Used on stained concrete. We don’t have any carpet in our house. I will update after we get new rugs and test it out on rugs.

    First week went great. It’s great at dusting, picking up dirt and small debris. We have a Shepard, a long haired cat and a medium haired cat and it’s wonderful at picking up fur! It’s a pet owners dream.

    However, after about a week, I took it off the charger and moved it to the master bedroom and pressed “clean”. It started for a sec or two then stopped and flashed with only 1 led where the battery level is at. I tried again, same thing. I put it on the dock for 1.5-2 hours and tried again, same thing. Put it back on the dock another hour, same thing. Then I just plugged the charger directly into the machine for another hour or so and tried again and SAME THING.

    I told my husband to gather the original packaging and attachments so I could return it. I set up a return, commented on how garage it is and started looking for another brand.
    My husband walked through the door and said, “a piece of napkin was stuck up in the wheel and caused it to trip the wheel sensor” then he put it in the room and cranked it up. It’s been going strong for about 30 minutes now.

    I feel dumb… If you have any issues, check the hidden spots behind the wheels. You may need needle nose or tweezers to grab the debris.

    For hard floors, it’s excellent.

    We have 4 furry pets and were having a tough time keeping our floors clean as everyone started shedding this spring. The ILIFE V3s has made a huge difference! We run it once or twice a day and it does a great job picking up dust and hair in between major weekly cleanings. Our house looks and smells better with much less effort. The only downside is that it sometimes misses areas (we now block it into certain rooms so that it cleans more thoroughly), but since we run it every day and still do a regular vacuuming and mopping every week, that doesn’t really bother us. Although space in the canister is limited by necessity, we find that it can easily clean about 800 sq ft before we have to clean it out (probably more if we weren’t in a heavy shedding season) and emptying and replacing the container takes only seconds. We have tile, wood floors, and low-pile area rugs and it does a good job everywhere.

    This is an amazing robot vaccum. I’ve used other brand before, but so far, this one has worked best. The size of the dust pan is extremely large(750mL) compared to other brands, which is very helpful when it comes to vaccuming the carpet, since it’s able to collect a lot more dust, hair, trash, etc. The suction power is also very powerful（2000Pa）and leaves my floors extremely clean. Another great thing about this vaccum is that you can actually control it on your phone! You can start/stop the vaccum AND it maps out your floor and you can see how much area it has cleaned. This makes it so convenient on so many levels. It is definitely worth the price.

    I had a Roomba that crapped out on me recently. My dogs spilled their water bowl while I was at work, and I had the Roomba set on a timer. It ran over the spilled water and fried everything. I have two pugs that shed like mad so I knew I had to get another robot vacuum ASAP. I didn’t want to fork over the cash for a Roomba, so I went with this brand and model instead. I was super apprehensive about buying from a brand I didn’t recognize, but let me tell you – I’m so glad I did. This thing picks up way more than my Roomba, runs much longer, and is much quieter. It’s also a great price. I highly recommend this product!

    We love this vacuum. Never knew how much dust was on my floors until I emptied this FULL container almost EVERY day. We named her Critter. Critter roams around the house doing her thing. You can’t micromanage her though. Often if I just watch her I’ll notice that she does the same spot multiple times, or seems to be stuck under the table and chairs or in certain rooms. But if I ignore her and go about my business, she makes her rounds quite well. She doesnt like shag carpets, but does great on everything else. she does not deep clean carpets. You will still need to manually vacuum them. But man, for pet hair, my hair, food crumbs, and everything else she is fab. I cant imagine my life without her.

    My son & daughter-in-law have owned a robot vacuum for a while now and have tried to talk me into getting one as they love it. I honestly thought my dogs would get anxious with this thing running around the floor, but was I ever surprised when they didn’t really pay any attention to it. Circumstances, like trying to keep my floor halfway clean while we get a deck built and sod to take in order to keep the sand down in our new cottage, made me finally order one of these and I LOVE IT!! I am truly amazed at the amount of sand, dust and dog hair this little robot picks up on a daily basis. My order arrived quickly and was packaged new in a box, in a box and in a box. It came with extra brushes and filters which will come in handy and I did order the extra pack of them as well. Simple instructions; I hooked it up to charge and waited the appropriate amount of time suggested and then started her up! My whole cottage flooring is the popular vinyl plank flooring, all one level, throughout the total 960sf of living area and this robot does a darn good job of keeping my floors decent. My son has an older model (with a roller brush) and he paid more for theirs. I do wish the dust bin (where all the gross stuff goes) was simpler to empty. You have to take out the dust bin, remove a dust screen to empty, then remove the filter to knock off all the dust and return all in to place. But as much work as this robot saves me I’m willing to do what I have to. I don’t know how I went this long without getting one of these!

    Really does an amazing job! We have 2 dogs and a pig that live inside and this picks up hair perfectly. Really helps decrease dust in the house which is a plus. Worth every penny. Actually bought this for my mother before buying for myself, and she loves hers too!
