Best thing I've bought in a long time

I've had maybe 3 other robot vacuums in the past and to be honest we rarely used them because they got stuck everywhere, they bumped into everything, knocked over to get where it's going and the suction power was fine. Don't get me wrong, we still happily used them after the company arrived because we felt like we had to clean up right after. So after a lot of research we bought it because it had lidar. If you don't know what lidar is, this is a game changer. My last robot was supposed to create a map of the house but was inefficient as it only kept barriers or whatever it encountered. However, lidar uses lasers in a 360-degree formation around the bot to inspect walls and furniture. Seriously, it bumps into far fewer things than anything we've ever had in the past. If it gets stuck and gets stuck you have this really cool feature where you can draw a barrier on the map in the app and it won't go back there. For example, we have a tassel rug in our kitchen that my wife recently bought. It was horrible because this thing always stuck to the tassels. Well I put a box around it and it never got back in. I ran it many times before capturing each area where it got stuck and drawing boundaries around each area. Also a tip: if he gets stuck, just pull him out and let him find the house on his own or keep cleaning him. Don't move it too far from the last area. My last robot was trying to find a house and it could take an hour or two to search everything in the area, going into rooms it shouldn't have entered to find a house. This one could be in the back corner of my house, under my bed, and it will find the house in 3 minutes. It's incredibly efficient, meaning it takes less power to find your home and more power to clean it. My only real complaint is that it doesn't connect to the Google Assistant. I hope they add this in the future. It was wonderful. We named our latest version Rosie and just asked Google to include Rosie and we can't do that with this one. To be honest, voice commands are so effective I hope they add that. please add it This is the only missing feature that I really want to have. I hate opening an app or pressing the power button on a robot. I am too lazy. Lol first world issues right? Anyway I still give him five stars because he ticked every box except this one and it's no big deal but if they add it I'm sure they will have even happier customers. Oh, and I have a cat and she collects tons of wool. In fact, the dust collector is filled monthly, but it works maybe once a week. That thing literally sucks. It captures far more than all my other robots combined, and on low settings. It has high performance, but it's very difficult to turn on (I claim, but I remember being a bit lazy). The high power setting is loud and speaking of loud, don't run it at night. The low power is great for nighttime use, but the dust box suction will scare you and your mom outside. My children plug their ears. But super effective. Just leave it on all day and you don't have to feel like you need a gun by the bed because of this thing.

Pros
  • Automatic empty base
Cons
  • Hard to say
