Being a newbie and a bit sceptical when it comes to having a robotic hoover, I decided to try it and all I can say is WOW...
The product was packaged well. First thoughts were, if the packaging was as good of a quality then I expect the product to be just as good quality. When taking out the vacuum, I could not believe the weight in it, It was a solid piece of equipment and know this was going to be great.
It was easy to setup through the App. Nowadays, everything is through an App so it wouldnt be good for someone who is not capable to do this.
After setup, the robot went to work and cleaned up my Livingroom first where the map update did extremely well. Just a few places missed out but did catch it the following time. As it states it is learning the whole time.
After a few days cleaning, I did use my other vacuum to see how much is being missed out and to be honest I wasn't expecting to see good results. Yes there was a slight bit however not a much as I thought there would be.
Decided to try the vacuum and mop in the lobby area however it is just taking surface dirt off and not giving it a great clean, expected more from this.
I only gave a 4 stars and this was due to the preference of having a better way of emptying the bag, I think it would have been better like my current vacuum that it has some sort of box that you take out and empty it rather than dumping bags. Yes I understand that its meant to help with allergens but this is excess waste and they are also not cheap when purchasing more bags and filters.
I do tend to go round and pick stuff up before I ask the vacuum to go out and clean as I do notice the avoidance system is not the best, It has caught a cable before around the edge brush and pulled the item down.
Another thing I did notice is that it misses out cleaning around the base station. I thought this would be one of the main things it would make sure it would clean. It detects the base station and keeps away from it, not sure if this is meant to happen.
Overall I am impressed with the product but still think there could be improvements.
