Why not buy, it turned out to be profitable and I wanted another robot vacuum cleaner. The reviews were good, they said it was quiet. If I didn't like it I would send it back. I've had it for a few weeks now and I like it a lot more than the Roomba. Omg shut up! My kids leave it and I forget to vacuum it. My normal vacuum cleaner is much louder. I have two dogs of different genders. I almost never lose it like a rumba. The board is amazing. Haven't tried Alexia yet and haven't even downloaded the app. Rschunimagu. Haven't tried mopping yet, but eventually I'll cover the subfloor with wood. Got this on a Cyber Monday deal and I like it a lot more than my $900 room. Wooden floor surfaces, same goes for the carpet. It does a great job of cleaning up dog hair, but like any robot vacuum, it stops when it picks up a missing dog toy from under the couch. Even if it is, it's easy to fix. At this point I usually empty the basket and roller. It only has one wheel and is much easier to clean and put back in place than the Roomba. Another plus is that he returns to his base without any problems. The base doesn't slip either, which was an issue with the Roomba. That might be because it's on a wooden floor so it sticks better, but it's a big plus nonetheless. For those with pets you will run it 2 or 3 times in the first few days to pick up the pet's fur, but for me with a miniature sheltie and an australian shepherd if she is in control/all the hidden hair, which are recorded once a day it. Just be aware that if you get slack with the daily vacuum, you'll have to run it a few times to get it all done. However, it doesn't look like you'll do the job. You can leave and everything will be ready when you come back. The photos show the transition between the floor, how the base is arranged, what the roller and trash can look like. There's also a sample of the vacuum to show how noisy it is when vacuuming and moving to base at low power levels.
