This product is perfect for the money and deserves five stars for the money. The map is developed by the VAC as it vacuums. You have no control, you cant set spots no to vacuam, Etc. What you can do is choose whether it vacuums at those random angles like hes ideal for rugs, in a spiral, in lines as ideal for floors, or along walls. This you do using the remote. The map of where it vacuumed will show up on your app. If you never install the app it wont be a big deal. The app is convenient for telling it to go home and stop vacuuming, and to see where it has vacuumed. I had a whisker of trouble setting up the Wi-Fi but honestly it was because I didnt read the directions the first time right. I had turned it on and charge it overnight and then when I press the button the light was blinking so thats when I tried to sync it. Had to go back turn the power off turn it back on press the button now the light blink more rapidly and it linked just fine. I have not tried this on carpet. We have dogs and we have to vacuum carpet constantly. I only use it for the hard surfaces in the house. Now I feel like I ought to go try it on carpet just to let people know but I probably wont dot-dot.

I bought this when it was discounted to around $100, thinking Id give the world of robotic vacuums a try. On the pro-side, its a tough little machine that goes everywhere and sometimes places I cant reach. And the results are very easily seen. On the con-side, I never did get the wifi to work and how it turns on is sometimes a little odd. Ive seen other reviews where they couldnt get it to turn on and I have that occasionally as well. I turn all switches off and reboot it and it seems to work. Its been worth $100. Would I invest $400? Probably not.

It’s made our house cleaner, getting under beds, and making our lives easier. Love it. It’s fun, making us smile and laugh from time to time. It has a mind of its own, so sometimes I have to carry it to the spot it missed. It doesn’t go back and forth, but kind of all around in different directions, thus missing some spots. But if you let it run for half an hour to an hour, it gets most of it, and the container gets full with gunk. Nevertheless, it is one of the best things I’ve ever bought for cleaning house. It’s affordable. Also, it’s made it so much easier on my bad back. I’m intending to buy this for my two sisters and my minister within the next few months.

Great little vaccum. I got it mainly because of how much my blue heeler and pit mix shed. Id have to vacuum twice a day to keep up with all the hair. With this I have it set to automatically go once in the morning and once in the evening. Very rarely itll spaze out when it first starts running but after 20-30 seconds its good to go. It can pick up most things on carpet but more often then not it requires a few passes. Its definitely meant for hardwood floors. For the price and all the features it comes with you cant beat this if you have mostly hardwood floors. Im thinking about buying another one just for my office.

Honestly its easy to quickly clean a tiny apartment in your 20s. But you get middle aged and youre back starts hurting and youre tired from work and you dont have a tiny apartment anymore and suddenly sweeping is just about the last thing you want to do. So Id been thinking about getting a robot vacuum anyway when I saw this one on a flash sale. I figure its super affordable now and has good ratings so I may as well take the plunge. Man am I glad I did. Since getting it Ive saved hours of time to do other things. It navigates my weirdly shaped house with ease, only ever having trouble with this strange little recessed area that the previous owners probably built for a display hutch or something. Since its smaller the robot keeps bumping into all the walls and has some trouble getting out. However it eventually makes it out so not the worse thing. Pet hair. I have 2 pets that shed more than anything Ive ever seen I swear! Probably part of the reason why my back hurts trying to clean it all. Anyway Gobot, as my kids call it, gathers up the pat hair with ease so the most stressful part of having Gobot is having to empty the dust bin daily. That is something I can definitely do! Overall one of the best purchases Ive ever made.

so far so good. cleans about as good as the coredy but it doesnt have bristles. which is better on our area rugs

Bought this for my downstairs and moved a Roomba upstairs. The good: it never gets stuck, but the Roomba did when it was downstairs. The bad: it doesnt pick up as much as the Roomba by a long shot. I emptied the Roomba every other day (Damn dog.) This one, empty once a week. Flooring is a mix of hardwood, tile and carpet. This is going to work best if you have hard floors. The Roomba has two beater bars that lift dirt out of carpet fiber. This one has two sweeper brushes that sweep surface dirt to be sucked up. Its great on the hardwood and tile, but not so much on carpet.

I cant figure out how to get this vacuum to stay on track as it has a mind of its own. It seems to be patterned oriented and wont let you redirect it easily to a high traffic area. It will continually go over and over the same area. Its OK. It does have an easy to empty dirt bin and easy to clean filter.

This thing is amazing! Ive got 4 kids, 3 cats, and a beagle. Cleaning our wood floors is one of my least favorite things. This little miracle is cleaning my kitchen after the dinner rush as I sit on my butt ant type this..... Now that Im done with the basic, yay robot vacuum, lets talk about this particular vacuum. This one fits under our couch. Anywhere it doesnt fit, it will go around and get as close as possible to sweep the area (from all sides!!) Then continue on its path. It somehow finds its way back to the station to charge on its own. It does a REALLY good job with hair and dirt. It would probably terrorize my sons Lego collection so hes rushing to clean his room out of fear while Gerald (our vacuum) slowly makes his way towards the door because hes already done cleaning my kitchen. Now Im still sitting on my butt and everyone is frantic because our cold unloving robot vacuum is coming for their precious toys. My husband picked up his shoes out of fear for his laces. This is probably the most peaceful night Ive had in months. Raising my cup of decaf up to cheers over the wonderful new year Im about to have with Gerald (the vacuum).

The WiFi connection was a little difficult. But I have a wifi extender that I was able to set up for 2G only. For those who have difficulty connecting to wifi get an extender and I’ll work. I am pleased with this product so far.
