Well, it depends on what you want. I wanted something to wipe my floor with a wet rag twice a week. - - MISSION ACCOMPLISHED! Grey Mop rag, but I do see dirty water when I wash out the rag in the white bathroom sink w my fels naptha!

With Lidar, and room divider on app, it's smart enough to Mop the kitchen and bathroom without going into the carpeted living room.

Compared to something that cost over $400, this definitely has faults! It's loud, (we feel that talks too much but found how to lower the speech volume in the app, and only empty the Dustbin every third day because that feature is incredibly loud), I found it drips a few drops of water occasionally even when the mop feature is off, it did not adjust with daylight savings time so I had to turn off cleaning and turn it back on in the app to get it to work.

Personally, I am picky about walking on barefoot floor, and I feel kitty litter is a nightmare, and it does miss a crumb here and there, but gets most of it! My husband was against spending money on these things and said "our floors have never been cleaner" (he was vacuuming/steam mopping once weekly)

So overall, we are not ready to spend over $500 and something to clean a rental home. This is the perfect compromise, and I'm happy with what it can do. It vacuums our foyer/guest bath/kitchen/laundry room daily, mops twice weekly, and vacuums living/dining room once weekly. I manually pick it up and carry it upstairs to vacuum every other week, find the map in the cleaning history (you can go back at least 3 weeks... I don't know if more) and so it does the upstairs too.

It vacuums better than the eufy (this is 2700pa vs 2000 on eufy, wish these robots could do the stairs!

I noticed it has disposable trash bags. Is there any reason to use them? Can't I just pick up the bin and empty it into a trash bag? I have no idea where to buy this thing's disposable bags either.

Holy smokes the reviews for it's app are so bad! Seems there is zero support for this product from manufacturer and nowhere to buy replacement parts and disposable bags. Yikes.

Wow, I bought at 269 last month. Will see if they'll do a price adjustment cause they cool unlike AMZN.

Pro: self emptying ! (Some time needs self cleaning) Does good job at vaccume.
Didn't tried mopping!
Cons: loud, issue with loosing wi-fi, need resting in app more often, sometimes stuck in high carpet.
Return this due to losing connection more often from app and loud noise!!

Strange. Mine works great: cleans well and doesn't stuck
The only problem I had with it is having mop on a carpet. It gets frustrated during some backward movements, so I had to remove the mod and it finished successfully

I own it for a month and happy with it so far

I have only used for vacuuming and never mop. It does great for my carpet and bare floors. Has auto empty and lidar where are you going to find that for this price? Does as good a job as the $800 and up models and I have tried most. Parts are cheap just look up parts for Prosenic M7 pro. Only downside is brush design gets lots of hair tangles.

Yup, they do! I bought this about 2 weeks back for $269 and they refunded $20. No questions asked.

I bought one about two months ago and I'm incredibly pleased with it. On hard surface flooring is where it really excels. Dog hair, crumbs,etc have been greatly reduced by running this every few days. It's fine on carpet to pickup things on the surface but it's not a deep clean like a regular vacuum.

The wet mop feature is okay. It's exactly like someone described as dragging a wet washcloth across the floor. I tried it once just to see and it's better than nothing but It doesn't scrub/apply pressure to things that are actually stuck on the floor. Wet moping wasn't a feature I was looking for so I don't care much that it isn't great.

The app has been fine for me but and I think the issue that people have with it are due to their wifi coverage. As best I can tell the app and the map interactions only "stick" when the vac is awake and actively on the network. I also think it needs two full vacuum sessions on a given map for it to be saved but that purely anecdotal. When I first tried to set zones and borders my edits on the map would not save. I came back to it a day later after I had run it a second time and everything seemed to finally work as expected. My zones and borders were saved and it's been great ever since. Again I think it needs to be running and actively sending back data to the app when you're making edits but that was my limited experience.

We also made the mistake of "testing" on its first run. We hadn't vacuumed the main area so there was plenty of normal buildup and dog hair (golden retriever who sheds). It ended up clogging the canister after two empty's. Once I figure that out we know to use it as maintenance cleaning. Not primary. We use our real vacuum once a week and it's perfectly fine maintaining in between. We can clearly see in our Shark vacuum that it's only picking up half the amount that it used to so the iHome is clearly doing a solid job of reducing the building during the week.

The other really cool part is how It maneuvers around chair legs and under the tables! It's unreal how well it navigates around obstacles. I'd highly recommend this vac to anyone looking to try a robot vacuum especially at this price point.

I had this but returned it. First the robo vac had a hard time docking on low pile carpet. I had to move the dock to a hard surface. Also the app sucked. Had problems mapping and the app froze a lot.

I ended up with Shark AI and am very happy now. https://slickdeals.net/share/iphone_app/t/15438910
