" ...  It transitions on/off our rug no problem.  ...  "

" ...  Bob can clean the entire house… Or zoned areas that are easily defined using my iPhone as the remote. ... Bob scans each room, meticulously cleans every square inch of the floor, and returns automatically to the dock.  ...  "
comment
" ...  This thing has everything you could ask for in a robot vacuum aside from home assistant control. ... Multiple mode of suction allows for quiet cleaning as well as full power. ... Does a great job of not running into furniture and rarely gets stuck.  ...  "
comment
" ...  - Suction and cleaning just fine. ... Nice performance on carpets, even if it's high pile (however, navigation on carpets not the best, see below). ... I get a map of the cleaning path every time it cleans, which is pretty cool. ... at 650 square feet with mostly flooring and one 5'x8' carpet, I empty it once a week. ... - It will resume cleaning if it happens to run out of juice in the middle of cleaning your house. ... It can go up and it will clean it just fine, but it won't do it in a straight line. ... It's not a big issue but it would be nice if the robot could try pushing against the cloth.  ...  "

" ...  Love the app, I start it when I’m not home and get to a clean place(:  ...  "
comment
" ...  Smarter cleaning, better software, and quality parts -- I haven't had to replace anything after nearly a year of daily cycles across a 1200sqft apartment. ... Note: I have black (yes, black) floors.  ...  "
comment
" ...  It’s so nice coming home to a clean carpet every single day. ... It also shows in real time where the vacuum is vacuuming and where it has vacuumed. ... The dust throughout the house has been less and the amount of waste in my large vacuum was also last since I had been using the robot vacuum throughout the week. ... The second day I had it are used it to do a spot clean up and then it couldn’t find the dock but since then It hasn’t had any issue returning to the dock after cleaning.  ...  "
comment
" ...  I recommend this to anyone with low pile and/or hardwood surfaces. ... It doesn't replace your vacuum completely.  ...  "

" ...  Color me impressed with thuis vacuum. ... Suction is good, navigation is great and battery life is amazingly good.  ...  "

comment
" ...  This is the most awesome robo vacuum on the market!  ...  "
comment
" ...  It has four suction settings: eco, balanced, turbo, and max. ... The coolest one is the map showing a trace of everywhere the vacuum has cleaned. ... It even shows the vacuum in real-time, which is mesmerizing. ... This keeps the vacuum from banging hard into stuff. ... This is why I gave the vacuum four stars. ... I can't imagine what this would be like on shag carpet. ... The vacuum can get in between the legs but then can't get out because it has to be lined up perfectly. ... I don't think this is a big deal, especially considering that the vacuum can handle some other really knarly areas in my house with no problem - e.g., other dining table areas having 6-8 chairs around a table. ... - Make area robot vacuum friendly. ... The vacuum doesn't push hard against objects so you can use almost anything that has some height to form barriers that keep the vacuum from going into certain areas i.e., areas with normal pile carpet. ... What I really wanted was for the vacuum to handle normal pile carpet better but after doing some testing it worked the same as before. ... The vacuum works great with the two lower pile carpets (the ones that are 5/16" or less) and has problems with the higher pile carpet (the one that is about 11/16").  ...  "

" ...  great item - impressed with Navigation - does the whole area methodically - not just random like some - great app with updates and can view progress of the cleaning - battery so far lasted a little over two hours and then goes back to charge and resumes where it left off - I LOVE IT - bought another as a gift  ...  "
