This is my first robot vacuum and I have to say, I'm mostly satisfied. I really like the Lidar and mapping feature, I feel like it did a good job mapping out my home in the SmartThings app. You can set no-go zones, but I found it highly frustrating trying to make small no-go zones in the app, I actually prefer to use the included boundary magnets. I use the boundary magnets on my basement stairwell (the vacuum does have cliff sensors, but this gives me an extra sense of security as it does slightly cross the line), my dogs water dish, a fan and a boot tray that the vacuum kept attacking as it they weren't even there. You also need to make sure there aren't any cords or anything that can get stuck in the brush on the floor, though the robot will alert you via voice and the app if it does end up getting stuck. It changed my family's habits of placing things on the floor and actually forces us to be a little more tidy.
On to the actual cleaning performance, I'm pretty impressed with the amount of dirt and hair it collects on a daily basis. I was also surprised to see it is able to clear the 1+ inch threshold going into my kitchen. I set up a schedule, cleaning mode, and suction power in the SmartThings app, which also shows you where the vacuum is on a map of your house, which is also great for troubleshooting. I sometimes have to supervise using the app to make sure that the vacuum thoroughly cleaned my home. I noticed on occasion it will skip part of my living room even though there are no obstacles whatsoever and occasionally I'll find it stuck in the corner of my kitchen on top of the threshold. Besides those minor peeves, it actually cleans the entire area very well. My home is all wood and vinyl floors with rugs throughout. We have 2 dogs that shed often. It's amazing that I rarely have to vacuum or sweep anymore. I feel like I have a robotic live-in maid.
