Very "special " review

EDIT: Turns out I had previously been sent an N79 which was clearly used. The one we got from Wal-Mart is a real 711 Deebot and we love it. A month ago I got my first smartphone and now I have the Deebot app for it. We have the real Roomba, the real Deebot and the more expensive Eufy. I think we paid $300 for Eufy, $500 for Debot, and $300 for Roomba. Eufy is Wi-Fi compatible and "talks" to my Google Home. Eufy is very similar to a good Deebot in terms of cleaning. Deboth is good now. Deebot really knows how to handle chair legs and such. However, Dibot is too adventurous and sometimes we find him where he doesn't belong. Magnetic strips for Eufy are also not suitable for Deetbot. Deebot prefers to have no limits and is a very independent robot. Roomba is a hit-and-turn type and not a quick learner. I think this sweeper is about $250 more expensive than the Eufy, but we still love it. Both outperform the Roomba in every way. My house is only 725 square feet (small tiny house) so each robot has its own very small footprint and all are useful. Yufi does the living room (all carpets are low-pile). Deebot makes two very small bedrooms (extremely low stack), a kitchen (tiled) and a bathroom (tiled). Then Roomba makes a conservatory (wood with cowhide carpet). So none of them are overworked. We love them all._________ Well that is my review of this product. I received what I believe is not a genuine Deebot. What we got was almost coffee brown and not "smart" at all. It had sunflower husks and hair around the brush but I didn't care (I brushed it and it was good enough). I preferred the brown color of the shiny back of the piano like in the picture so I thought it was cute. We loaded it up and let it go to eat all our dirt. We kept our second cleaning robot under a birdcage, so we put it there - it didn't like it. He tried to get out and kicked his legs out until he could get out. So we changed his base. There he had problems because it was close to the corner. We changed it back to be next to the TV stand and it would bang against the TV stand and get stuck. So we just put it in front of the birdcage. We then tried to connect it to the application. We couldn't. So the main reason we got it didn't work. Yes, it comes with a remote control, but remote controls always get lost. You need an iOS or Android phone. I use my Chromebook for my Google Homes and other smart products. Support said you can't use laptops or tablets for your apps. And if we liked it, we wanted to give it to my grandma, and we'd rather that she didn't risk bending over and possibly breaking her hip (again). Okay, now to the good stuff. We have this little guy clean our tile, our low-pile carpet, and our very low-pile carpet. At first I thought that all sweeping robots could easily clean tiles, but this one couldn't. Our birds love to drop their millet seed pods on the ground and they will be flung across the ground. It couldn't sweep them. We have a dog and she couldn't sweep hair or dirt onto the tiles. Instead of being thrown, the rug just sweeps over it and leaves it there. Mine was VERY loud. Like the usual Shark vacuum cleaner volume. It was noisy even with the bedroom door closed. In terms of navigation, it was just as dumb as them. Ran into something and then bumped into it for 10 minutes. It got stuck on my TV stand (next to my wall) and tried to get through for 10 minutes. We couldn't figure out what the noise was and thought it was a rat or squirrel in the house wall. I keep adult toys under my bed, away from the soft eyes of my company, and this little caretaker found the toy and fucked it until the battery died. We couldn't find the robot for a long time, here he is lying under the bed trying to sweep the dildo. We'd have to turn it on and go outside because it's so noisy, and we'll keep coming inside with new surprises. Finally, the side brushes kept popping out and he would try to eat them and then "choke". on them and die. However, let me repeat, I think mine was a counterfeit product. It said Deebot, but I don't think it was the real Deebot. I have another Deebot and I love it. I also have a real Roomba and prefer my other Deebot to my Roomba. But if you buy this Deebot too and get a dark brown one, just make sure you return it after a few good laughs like we did. It was easy to give back. The customer service from Revain and Ecovac was top notch. Today we got another model from Walmart (with a tangle-free brush) and the quality is back.
