I don't believe so
I highly recommend this if you really want a significantly cheaper robot vacuum, don't care too much about the mop, and are willing to make compromises/look for workarounds when it doesn't function perfectly. There is also a fantastic Vacuum Wars review here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWNZTEK
I bought one of these about a month ago. You can find them for ~$175 from Ebay sellers, brand new, with free returns. I bought ours for $155 (+ a 2 year square trade protection for $18) when VIP Outlet had one available on Ebay.
Positive:
- In general, I really like it
- Setup was very easy for me
- Unloading in the base unit is great
- LIDAR is a game changer and makes old robot vac tech seem like doodoo
- Ability to separate rooms and create no go zones in the app
- Edge detection seems great and doesn't fall down my stairs
- It does pretty well going in and around chairs without getting stuck
- It is crazy cheaper than buying a Shark or Roomba of similar type for $400-700
I have it run every night while my family is in bed. We also tend to use "spot clean" once or twice a day (we have 3 young kids that make messes). It generally does a really decent job. We love waking up in the morning to the perfect vacuum lines across the carpet and to a nearly clean floor (since it will miss a tiny bit sometimes).
Negative:
- You are definitely buying a budget robot vacuum
- Power mop feature is unusable. It slips all over our vinyl floor and ends up going in crazy lines
- It can lightly mop okay when using "mop as you go"
- If you have the mop attachment on IT WILL NOT DOCK (it wiggles its way in when it tries to dock and the mop causes too much friction/weight for it to properly reconnect for charging)
- It's not very quiet
- The suction level increases/decreases somewhat randomly when on rugs (not sure if that's an efficiency thing or what)
- Sometimes it seems to forget which areas I told it to clean and will just clean 1 or 2 of 3-5 selected areas (but it always seems to clean the right ones for the schedule I set)
- The app can be pretty janky and sometimes doesn't even remember the vacuum exists or can forget the map. But you can go back into the history and change back to the correct map. Also, closing the app (sometimes force stopping) and reopening always causes it to reappear in the app
- Voice command with Alexa/Google Assistant is essentially pointless. The only commands are "turn on" and "turn off" which will cause it to begin cleaning everything it can or for it to turn off (not even return home and dock. This was even the answer I received from their Support.)
This is only the only robot vacuum I have owned. If you are wondering if these challenges are specific to me, they are not. My sister-in-law ended up buying the first one we bought after a week+ of use and then we bought another. My in-laws think it's significantly better than their old Roomba E6.
