I've had my eye on these vacuum cleaners for a long time. We are a family of 4, 2 small children, 2 cats and 1 dog. I was tired of vacuuming and arguing with my SO about a vacuum cleaner, so I invested in one. Pros: Easy to set up. Vacuum picking is great because you don't have to constantly empty the robot. The suction power is good. Even sucked on the cat litter! It was possible to lead the tile to the hardwood, which is a large ledge. Cons: I felt like he cleaned my kitchen 8 times before going into the living room. The whole "running in line" didn't seem to work as I was watching the car like a hawk and it wasn't just running in lines. When the car reached the living room, it kept going back to the kitchen. … I do not know why. Finally, after 56 minutes of non-stop cleaning, the robot did not return to base to switch. He just died on the ground and I had to pick him up. Finally, as it continued to circulate in the kitchen, after 58 minutes of cleaning, it never made it into the living room. As a result, I convinced my SO to buy me an updated j6 hoping for better performance to fix all my ailments. Look forward to this post.
