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 currently have both this ihome and the wyze robots at home. I'm going to return one and have been leaning towards keeping the ihome. Yesterday my wife and kids were wrapping presents and got glitter all over the place so it was a good test for both. Both couldn't completely suck up all the glitter from my tile floors. I still had to bring out the normal vacuum. The wyze has a lower suction rating but was louder and the air that came out of the rear vent felt stronger. Cleaning-wise I didn't feel one was better than the other. Both failed at getting all of the glitter and appear to achieved similar levels of cleaning. Now I have to decide if the self-empty gimmick is worth $50.
For the app, the ihome app was easier at defining rooms, lets you spot clean, allows for control of the vacuum with a d-pad (also has a remote with d-pad) The wyze app has some restrictions on dividing up a room (divider lines can only anchor to exterior walls) and no spot cleaning...
Bought at 269, returned due to poor mopping, couldn't find home on many occasions, lost connection more then once and had to manually restart multiple times.
It says 2700pa but this doesn't even come close to 1800 pa as I ran my Roomba i7. Didn't expect it to be perfect but at least it to be close enough. I'm returning it and going to try the Deebot.
Same experience as some of the comments. $150 Eufy G30 Verge sucked up way more dirt. This device did not come even close. Just ordered Walmart Wyze deal to see which one wins. It'll be my 4th vac and this performed the worst. Though would have loved the mop feature...

Does it detect a step down? Our kitchen is higher than the living room and I wonder if this will fall down into the living room when cleaning the kitchen area.
That will be no problem.
Wanted to mention Walmart has a very friendly return policy these days.
Can anyone comment on the value of this vacuum compared to the Eufy G30? I picked up the Eufy for $150 at WM and it's just sitting unopened waiting for Christmas. I know Lidar is a huge step up and the ability to create no-go zones in the app is a big plus. Not to mention the auto empty feature. But if iHome is super loud and has worse suction than the Eufy (and I have to buy proprietary bags for the base), I'm wondering if the $100 price difference is worth it.
Thanks, do you know how this compares against the Roborock S4 Max? (Getting it at about 10$ difference from Amazon due to Amazon prime card)
Especially if you agree mopping is not great
And yes, we do have all hardwood floors.

I have this one as well as a Roborock S6 and Neato Connected. I never use the mop function on any of these machines, because I know it'll be a joke. For mopping I had a mop only robot and eventually switched to the bissell crosswave.
They're pretty similar in a lot of features, but the self emptying feature is pretty awesome. The Roborock has better navigation but none of them get stuck on anything so it doesn't really matter. But Roborock has maps for multiple floors. Neato Connected I think might have the best cleaning based off their claimed D shape design but my house is so clean that all 3 vacuums pickup about the same and I run them nightly/daily.
I think they're all noisy because I run them at max power. If I ran them in quiet or normal mode, you'd barely know they're even on. The pricing for this unit is incredible, sure the Roborock s6 nav and SW is better but not worth 2X or 3X the price for the self emptying version.
Basically, just buy the cheapest lidar self-emptying vacuum you can find, unless you have pets they'll all pickup about the same and run daily keep things clean.
Loved it for the mop feature, but it never returned back to home. It always drove back to the station, bumped several times against it before it drove off and stoped its work at a random place. Had to return it.

Have owned this for a few months and it's been decent. Only use it for the vacuuming to get all the dog hair from my hard floors. Ordered one for my parents and it had issues with docking so returned it and got another, which has been working great. You can use non proprietary bags like the link below or just manually empty the bag by reaching in it with your fingers if you don't want to spend money: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08MWWY..._lig_dp_it

Just bought this and it constantly has issues getting back to the base, anyone else have this issue? Not sure how to fix and may have to return. TIA.
Never had an issue with it going back. The lidar unit is the most vulnerable item on these. If the map of your floor is accurate then it's probably once of the other sensors or even the sensor on the base (assuming it kinda finds its place). I've placed this little bot in a pantry closet underneath a half shelf (hard for any other unit) and this one always finds it way.
My issue is that it constantly draws 3 watts so I hope it isn't trying to trickle charge an already charged lipo.

I just exchanged it at Walmart (few days under the 3 month window). The unit stopped going back to base it couldn't see it at all, I'm guessing the infra red on the base just died completely. SAD
FYI if you need to go to their website its ihomeclean.com, don't go to ihomeaudio.com as they wont help you.

I bought this thing, and within six months, it's about useless. It's not nearly as durable as a Roomba (I've had several Roombas; none of them failed within a year). One of the dust bin latches is broken, and the main brush will not spin. Of course, Walmart won't help you after 90 days. Do yourself a favor and buy a robot vacuum from Costco or some other retailer that stands behind the products they sell.
