cleaning on parquet and carpets with a short pile is sufficient. Also cleans well under wall heating. Emptying the trash can is easy. Removing long human hair from brushes is easy. But recently it started turning itself on at 10:50pm. I've cleared the "ring" light on the remote according to the owner's manual and that should stop it, but it still starts to go out at night. I never used the app - I downloaded it but it expected me to set up an account and give an email address to addys so I removed it. ADDENDUM: Even though I've tried every solution suggested by the manufacturer's support team, including removing the battery for more than an hour, the cleaner still starts at the same time every night. Seller (PaintingSBS) does not replace, does not accept returns. OPTIONAL: The manufacturer's support team is excellent. I received prepaid postage and a replacement robot is on the way.
