The setup was easy, and the mobile app is user friendly. I was able to set it up and get it going after an hour long charge. I have written a detailed review to allow you to understand what to expect, and what not to expect, and make an informed decision.
Good suction power, especially on Carpets. I am cleanliness obsessed, and I certify that this bot cleans Carpets really well. The floor is cleaned well too, you can feel it when you walk without slippers. It's able to pick dust, sand, bits and pieces of food. However if it's a piece which is say longer than 5 cms, it tends to get struck around intake / main brush making some noise. Honestly though, things so big shouldn't be littered around the house anyways!
Great battery life. I have a 1300 Sq feet apartment with marble and carpet flooring - the bot manages to perform a cycle of vaccum and a cycle of mopping in a single full charge.
Easy to clean. The removable bin / filter, main brush and side brushes are easy to clean. There's an in-app feature to estimate worn-down of these items, and I believe the app will remind me in some months to replace them. These spares are available on Amazon, I ordered one set in advance. I usually empty the bin and clean the brushes after 2 cleaning cycles. Make sure the bot doesn't clean any wet areas, otherwise the dust in bin becomes wet and dries out to form hard deposits.
OK mopping : The mopping feature is just okay. I had to increase the water output to maximum to have a visible output on marble floor. The mopping pad gets wet and it's dragged around the house. The bot doesn't get on Carpets when mopping. But it's not the same as a mop which we rinse and spin every few minutes in a room. I would have preferred same vaccum capabilities with larger bin and battery over mopping function - it doesn't meet my expectations.
Smart navigation. The bot was able to properly map my house, and efficiently cleans it when u start a full cycle. The map gets broken down into rooms, which I can further edit. There's choice to draw virtual barricades to prevent the bot from going into certain rooms - I drew it at doors of bathrooms and at main door of house. I can selectively opt to clean certain rooms only, or define order in which rooms must be cleaned, or even selectively clean an area in a room. The bot uses lidar to navigate, finds way around obstacles, and works in dark too. It's able to climb on carpets with 2-3 cms thickness. It goes around and tries from a different angle if it's not able to get inside a open space between furniture or unable to climb a carpet / mat. I kept the charging dock alat a central location of the house and on the marble floor. I didn't run into issues with bot finding its way back to the charging dock, I think location of dock and keeping pathway clear is essential. And of course, the wifi connectivity across the house should be good, although the bot can map and nagivate offline too, just that we can't control it remotely in such a scenario.
Interactive - the bot is interactive, with Voice notifications when it's start cleaning, ends cleaning and goes to charging dock. It's alerts you if the brush is tangled or if it's suspended (if someone picks it up). If the bot is picked up to untangle the brush or perhaps to remove anything which got underneath, it attempts to relocate. In rare instances when you didn't place it back just as it was earlier, it gives an alert that location failed. In this scenario, the map is lost. To prevent this, if you hear a prompt that location failed, lift the bot and take it back to charging dock, which restores the map.
I highly recommend the product, and I am satisfied with its performance.
