Quieter than my Neato. I like the self-empty feature. The app offers so many cleaning options that I never thought possible. Cleaning power, floor wash water delivery, area cleaning, spot cleaning, room cleaning, single cleaning (let's set the power and 1 or 2 cleanings in the room) and I'm still finding new ways it can do. So far he has handled cat hair and cat litter like a champion. It has truly amazing battery life as I clean most of my floors in two passes and it has enough battery to get the job done in one go. I just want it to work on black carpet. I have a black patterned carpet with a black border and this robot won't clean it. I was surprised since this is LiDAR.
