Features get removed from the app periodically, then readded again later but never truly improve the operation. You can't create "no-go" zones unless you use the stupid magnetic strips they include, you can't specify what power level for it to run at by schedule, and the map never truly resembles your home no matter what setting you turn your lights on for it to map via the ceiling tracking camera. Most recently they removed the status of mapping % completion from the app so you can't even tell how refined the map is as it cleans more and more over time. As soon as you press "this looks like my home" it locks in that last map revision.
In brief: I'd spend the money on a roomba with the self empty base if I had to do it all over again.

Kohls is missing on a huge opportunity to keep their prices *somewhat* competitive and throw Kohls Cash and Rewards on top as a benefit.
All in all, this is a decent deal. Buy it now if you are interested because it may not be much of a deal at Kohls in a few months.

The good:
Vacuum performance was fine
Nice to be able to select rooms
The bad:
Map generation was not great
It got confused
It was not that gentle
Needs light to operate well
The base station sounds like a airplane taking off
My recommendation to anyone looking at a robotic vacuum is get lidar or don't bother. (including roomba) I have two roborocks now and they are fantastic. I do not have the emptying base. Honestly cleaning out the bin is not a big deal. We run ours when we go to bed and wake up to a vacuumed downstairs.
Final thought - this is not even a good deal. This is pretty much a standard deal. 20% off is common at Kohl's. 40% should be your target with kohls cash as well. Even so if it was me I'd get a roborock or something with lidar. For ref I paid about $329 + earned kc in 2019 also it's model # matches this one.
