Might Work For You If There is Never Anything On Your Floor
Color: Black
Well, after having this for about 3 months now, I have to say that I am mostly unimpressed. A friend of mine talked me into getting this specific model because she owned and said she did a ton of research and it was the absolute best for pet hair. I old her thats great, but is it really going to get around and pick up all the dog hair without me having to constantly deal with it? Well she said yes, but I find the answer to be a resounding NO.
First off, the wheel constantly clogs. You basically have to clean the floor before you have the vacuum go clean the floor, otherwise it will get jammed on something, napkins/papertowel/softener sheets or plush stuffing from dog toys seem to be what generally causes the roller clogs on my machine. That is of course when it isn't trying to suck up a bathroom rug, or rag left on the floor.
I certainly can not allow it to just do a whole home clean. Even if it wasn't going to get caught on something, in my 1340 sq ft home with 3 dogs it can't handle picking up all that dirt without being emptied at least once first. I definitely have to empty it before and/or after every use.
I will say that while it remains connected to the network (I have google fiber so I know it isn't weak network issues) the app provides some nice abilities like creating partitions and splitting up rooms. I do like that I can tell it to clean certain areas, then let it go back and charge, empty it, and then tell it to clean different areas. That said, being able to get into the vacuum options is not obvious and takes a little digging. I also find that it doesn't do a great job of cleaning against walls or in corners.
All of my floors are hard surfaces (tile or laminate flooring) so I can't tell you how well it works on the carpet. When I can use, after I have picked up anything that might clog it, I will say that it generally makes it so I don't have to do much sweeping, which is nice, but still, for the price, is it really worth it?
I am too afraid to try to use the mop capabilities. I don't trust it at all to actually mop and not just make a wet mess.
I am also guessing I am probably going to need to replace the roller sooner than later, at least taking the roller on and off mostly pretty easy. While removing the dust chamber isn't particularly difficult, setting it back in isn't hard, but you do have to get it just right, which rarely ever happens on the first try, so you do have to futz with it a bit, usually.
Over all, not sure I would buy one again, but I think if I did, I would at least get one that self empties, would save me a little bit having to constantly empty it myself.
For reference purposes, I have a 1 story home that is about 1340 sq ft. I rarely have it vacuum in the bathrooms or closets, so I am saying it needs to be emptied at least once if not twice to just deal with the remaining parts of the home.
I also think it is fairly noisy. Certainly not as noisy as an upright "real" vacuum, but I can definitely hear it vacuuming and bumping into things while it is in entirely different rooms than the one I am in.
Lastly, I hate having to deal with reconnecting it to the network, it is a real pain. The app has never worked for me as far as scanning the QR code goes. I didn't use it for about a week, and it disconnected itself from the network. I had to go through the reconnection steps 3 times to get it back on the network, and then it said my map had changed (it hadn't, and it has had this hiccup twice before as well) so I had to reset it one more time before it finally fully recalibrated and I was able to use it again.
I generally have to go check on it a few times as it is cleaning and make sure it is actually picking up dirt etc, because if one of its ports gets clogged early with maybe some stuffing, or a napkin, or larger towel, it won't pick up anything else but it will keep running and not tell you there was any issue. It just tells you it is finished and then you still see stuff all over the floor and know something must have clogged it.
I haven't owned any other robot vacuums so I can't tell you how it stacks up against the other brands. My guess is they are all pretty similar or worse, but maybe you will have better luck than me.
