So I just don't think it's quite worth the price point. Its not a bad little robot vacuum, it does pretty well for the most part. Its just not that smart.
Its also fairly loud for how small it is.
It picks up dirt and cat hair really well. I was honestly impressed at how quickly the little tank got full. When it runs properly it works fantastic and I do like having it. But like I said, it's just not that smart. When left to its own devices on any of the automatic settings it has a tendency to get "stuck" trying to clean the same areas over and over again. It especially loves getting stuck near furniture. It'll run into the bottom of a chair over and over, moving forward only a few cm each time. Like it's trying to push it's way under the chair but can't.
The best mode for me is the spiral. It has to be moved to new areas after a bit but I find that to be the most thorough.
The app is ok. I found out I already had it, it's the same as another smart item I own. So that was nice.
Manual mode is kinda weak. there's a delay in getting it to understand the direction you clicked in the app.
But manual mode is required because if you tell it to go home to its base and it's more than a few cm away it gets really confused and just pushes against everything it can find and never gets the right direction. To get it to go home properly I have to manually drive it or pick it up and place it right beside the base before clicking the go home button.
I set it to clean my living room and went into another room beyond a baby gate and I'm still convinced it is ws lonely because it tried to follow me and got stuck at the baby gate.
Do I like it? Yes. Its a fairly good vacuum. But it's not smart, it's more of an average intelligence robot with a good vacuum built in.
