Suitable for spot cleaning of floors, does not clean anything that requires cleaning

I was very happy to try this product! I've wanted one of Samsung's robot vacuums for a long time as they seem to work really well. So I thought it might have the same result. I charged it the night before, the first charge didn't take unnecessarily long. The package includes the device itself, base, charging cable, silicone brush, remote control, batteries for the remote control, two water tanks, two microfiber pads, two mother yarn pads and instructions. The packaging was secure and nothing was damaged. The QR code on the base has proven to be useful. This is where I started to lose faith in the product. I unpacked the water tanks and was disappointed. These tanks are about a quarter inch high and five to six inches in diameter. It seemed their ability to hold water was limited. I have a lot of tile floors; My living room and kitchen are open plan. I didn't think these little water tanks could handle all of my flooring. Which isn't too bad though, as I can use it in the kitchen one day, in the living room the next, in the hallway the next, etc. For the first run, I locked out my living room so the device stays in the kitchen and gets cleaned. Our kitchen floor is becoming the dirtiest in the house anyway. Due to the fact that I could only upload one video, I uploaded the best of the two I shot. This shows how much water the device is dispensing. When I started running it, it looked like what you see in my video. A few minutes later he moved forward a decent bit, turned around and just started doing his thing. From the experience of my robot vacuum cleaners it is difficult but you have to trust the process. To my surprise, the device was quiet, I had no experience with other mopping robots. But I have experience with robot vacuums and they can be noisy. So I was glad it didn't make much noise. The unit is too high to get under cabinets. The device worked for the specified 50 minutes. Then he beeped several times and continued to work. I checked the water tanks and they were empty. I decided to see how long it would last, so I refilled the tanks and started again. He worked another 15 to 30 minutes and then died. The tanks weren't even halfway gone when he died. I placed the device on the base and connected it to the network. Once again, it only took an hour or two to fully charge. Now we're going to talk about how well it worked. Let me just say that I especially love my floors. Before our German Shepherd died, I used to run our robotic vacuums and drippers every other day or every day. In general, this unit coped with its task. He cleaned up some of the occasional stains and spills that were on the floor. If there is something that is dry or difficult to lift, this block will not reach it. There were several spots where I had to go behind the block and clear out. I have included photos before and after a location. You can see he cleaned it well except for the grout of course. Drop it, and that's probably because I'm special, but if the light hits the floor just right, you can see where the mop went and you can see the footprints on the floor. I have uploaded some photos of this and some may find it difficult to discern due to the color of my tile. I probably notice it too, because I know what I'm seeing. I've circled the marks in red. In general, this device is suitable for any floor that is not too dirty. If you can handle grades afterwards, that's even better. Anything that needs to be cleaned will not be cleaned by this device. I would say it would be perfect for the polka dot blue of the floors. If you can keep up with the floors and keep them from getting too dirty, that might work for you too. I think bigger water tanks and maybe changing the cleaning pads to reduce the marks they leave would be a good start to make this a better device. I'm not very happy with the device, but I'm not very disappointed either.

Pros
  • Cool
Cons
  • Almost everything is fine
