Decision:

as a teacher with a busy schedule and multiple kids, keeping the house clean was a constant struggle. i needed something to handle the daily mess without me lifting a finger. this robot seemed like a solid solution—it maps the house intelligently and empties itself, which is a huge plus. it's saved me a lot of time, and the app integration is smooth. however, it's not flawless; i've caught it skipping areas, and the cost made me hesitate. overall, it's a very practical tool that does the job well, but it requires some oversight. my takeaway: it's a good investment for convenience, but don't expect perfection.

• Pros: the auto-empty dock is a lifesaver, handling its own waste so i don't have to fuss with it often. it navigates my home very well, avoiding obstacles and mapping everything out without getting stuck. the battery lasts long enough to clean my entire house in one go, and the app makes it easy to control from anywhere, which saved me a few times when i forgot to start it. it picks up dust and allergens effectively, keeping the floors clean for my kids.
• Cons: it seems a bit pricey for what it does, and i had to tweak the settings a few times to get it just right. sometimes it misses spots under furniture, and the noise level is noticeable, though not overwhelming. the filtration is good but not perfect for severe allergies, and setup took some patience.

Decision:

i got this because i wanted to spend less time cleaning and more time with my books and it delivers on that front the first few runs were a bit chaotic but once it learned the layout it became extremely efficient i love that i can just let it do its thing and come home to clean floors the high efficiency filtration is a bonus since i have allergies and it seems to catch a lot of the dust that used to make me sneeze my only gripe is the noise it's not terrible but i was hoping for something quieter overall though it's a solid helper around the house

• Pros: the little guy is extremely smart it maps the house like it's been living here for years and the way it dodges stuff is almost comical it's like watching a tiny determined cleaner on a mission the auto empty dock is a game changer no more dealing with dust bins full of whatever it picks up and the app lets me set schedules so it cleans while i'm out living my life
• Cons: delivery was a bit long which was annoying when i was excited to get started also it seems to struggle with very dark floors it hesitates like it's not sure if it's a cliff or just my stylish choice of flooring and the noise level is higher than i expected not exactly disruptive but noticeable

Decision:

Okay, so I impulse-bought this after one too many glasses of wine, expecting a magic solution to my eternal battle with dust bunnies. Reality? It’s pretty close. The first time I saw it dock itself and empty its bin, I actually clapped. It’s not perfect—it has its moments of ‘what are you DOING’—but overall, it’s made my life easier. My floors have never been cleaner, and I’ve never felt lazier. Win-win? 🤷‍♀️

• Pros: From what I feel, this little guy worked right away, no drama. It’s like having a mini butler who’s too good at his job—sneaks around, picks up everything, and even empties itself. The app is a breeze, and I love bossing it around from my couch. Plus, it’s a dream for my allergies, grabbing all the invisible nasties off my floors.
• Cons: But, and there’s always a but, it sometimes gets too ambitious with my rug tassels. Like, buddy, that’s not dirt. And the price? OOF. It’s an investment, for sure. Also, while it’s smart, it’s not quite ‘replace my cleaning lady’ smart—yet.
