Robot Vacuum and Mop, G8000 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, 2700Pa Strong Suction, Self-Charging, Good for Hard Floors, Black

After we have used iRobot Roomba for about 20 years, we saw robot mops on the market and found this one we think worth to try. We have used G8000 for about three weeks now and we are happy with it. The dry clean performance is similar to the robots we have used but the noise level is much lower. We don’t notice the sound even when we are on the same floor level. I think if we run two G8000 simultaneously the noise level still is less than one Roomba. It is a little smaller than Roomba but has two brushes. You can see from the picture the dirt collected from one 10 by 10 room. Cleaning the dirt bin is easier than other Robots. We also used the mop function, set the water level to the middle using the button on the remote. It also works well (the 2nd picture). We tried to do dry clean by removing the water bin, it works. The stair edge detection has no issue. The remote has enough control function for us so we didn’t use APPs. For improvement: the default suction power on the setting after first power-on should be the maximum level (I think it was set to the minimum level at our unit). We set the suction to max level using the remote. It works beautifully afterward. The remote is not described in the manual but is on the quick reference sheets.

it does a nice job with the vacuuming, but the mop only spreads water on the floor. Like putting wet rag on floor and dragging it across the floor. I have a rumba which I run first and the Tikom goes next. Cleans well and smaller than rumba so it gets into the smaller spots. Still trying to get comfortable with the remote and phone app. Just need time

For the money, you can’t go wrong. It works pretty well for both vacuuming and mopping. It doesn’t get stuck as often as I expected. As long as the dirt is aligned between the brushes it gets picked up. Wetting the mop cloth helps a lot. It’s inconsistent in negotiating rooms. It will successfully do a full clean without getting at stuck. The next day it will get stuck on something it had successfully negotiated the day before. It would be nice if you could control more with Alexa, or if she could relay the alerts. I don’t understand the point of the map, you can’t edit or use them at all. Overall it’s a great value, and it works well enough for what we need.

I cant say enough about this machine! I had been using a robot sweeper and a robot mopping unit which were made by another manufacturer. When I saw this all-in-one unit on sale, I decided to give it a try simply for the convenience of having one unit to activate. Yes, it has definitely more convenient, but the other things it delivered were totally unexpected! It, by far, covers a larger area in much less time and, surprisingly, its much quieter and does a better job. I actually am still in disbelief. Robot sweepers and moppers are perfect for pet owners and homes that have a lot people in and out. I dont have carpet so I cant speak for the job it does on carpet, but it is able to navigate onto rugs and continue to do its job. These type of units are especially wonderful on hardwood and laminate floors. I run mine every day, and every day I am surprised by the amount of hair, hair, etc. collected. Important things to know about robot vacuums and mops: * They are not going to get into cracks and crevices. Some people may want to deep clean occasionally. * Because they have a low profile, they get under chairs and other furniture with legs which means you dont have to stoop down or move furniture. *The sweeper cannot handle foreign objects so a quick look around before starting it is a good idea. * The mop feature uses water only. This concerned me at first but, in truth, my floors feel and look cleaner than when I used chemicals. After I ran the mopper a few times, I realized that my floors must have had a residue left from my other cleaners. The mopper cleaned up that residue, and the floors have a sheen again. In my opinion, a benefit to using water only is the floors, with no chemicals, are safer for pets, kids and everyone in the home. I actually could go on and on about this. It has changed my life. I have clean floors all the time now with very little effort.

I initially paid way more money for the Irobot and it turned out to be very loud and had too many complications. This however was far superior and way cheaper! I was surprised at how smart it is, actually learning the layout of the house by using linear movements rather than picking a random direction and hoping for the best. The mop feature is simple but great for my laminate floors. Before starting up the robot I did a good sweep and vacuum of the entire floor then I let the robot do its thing, I couldnt believe at the amount of dirt and cat hair this thing picked up in under an hour. Overall a great purchase and I say anyone should choose this brand over the upcharged competition.

Easy to use and clean. Does a job comparable to higher end models!

This does a good job vacuuming. The mop function is useless. Save a few bucks and just get the vacuum model. You won’t end up using the mop function on this thing.

Seems to be okay so far

I purchased this to replace another brand that just stopped charging. It arrived sooner than expected. After it charged I gave it a try. The first thing I noticed was how quiet it was. You can adjust the suction levels and even on the higher setting it’s not as loud as my other one was. I should’ve taken a picture of the dust bin & mop cloth after its first cleaning. It was amazing, & disgusting at the same time, how much dirt this thing picked up. I had to empty it once before it’s cleaning cycle was completed. And I love how easy it is to empty the dust bin. My previous one I had to actually pick up to empty. This one you lift the top and there it is. No picking the unit up at all. On a full charge it seemed to go about 50 minutes. The mopping fully charge seems to go about 30 minutes before having to recharge. But once it re-charges it goes right back to work. I don’t have to do anything. I did download the app which was easy and I managed to link it to my Alexa. It sweeps when I tell Alexa to sweep but I can’t get the mopping function to work (may be my fault since I’ve never set up a routine before). Now let’s talk about the navigation. My previous robot was all over the place. This one took about three or four cleanings and it developed a pattern and went in that pattern every single cleaning. It edged clean, it Cleaned the rugs & never skipped a beat. It came with a magnetic strip that I put in front of my front door threshold (because it kept getting stuck). Once I put that magnetic strip down it never got stuck again. I also put a strip down in front of our pet area so that it wouldn’t knock over water and food bowls. As far as the mopping goes it does say not to put cleaning solution in the unit that you should use water only. I was skeptical of this but after seeing the mop cloth I’m convinced that it is cleaning the floor. I just wish you could solution in it to make sure the floors are sanitized. All in all I am extremely happy with this purchase. The price was within my budget. My previous one cost $600 and I cannot tell a difference in the way they clean And I have the added bonus of a mop now.

probably a great product for a bigger house with very minimal furniture, and open spaces . I have a small place (1100 sq ft) and it was just a pinball bouncing from one piece of furniture to the next. getting stuck everywhere prompting me to get up from my desk and check where its stuck and readjust- all day.
