Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Quick update now having it for a few weeks. The customizable room settings is an awesome feature. Just want a deep clean mop in the kitchen but still do a full vacuum of the dinning room all on the same schedule works like a champ. The battery life has also not been an issue as I had feared it still seems to burn more than my S5 but it's getting the job done in one go and it's mopping. It is so nice to have a mopped floor every day in the heavy travelled areas of the house. The reduction of dust and pollen is impressive. Great vacuum I have no complaints!! Got the robot in on Saturday, I was upgrading from an S5 regular (non-max). Got it all set up and my wife wanted me to hide it in the laundry room rather than out in the main part of the house. It did its initial sweep (pun intended) on the balanced vacuum only setting and while it wasn't fully charged it got about 2/3rrd of the house done, (approx 2500 sq feet) then it went back and charged and then a few hours later it popped out to complete the job. The charging seemed to be rather slower than I anticipated and the burn on the battery seemed a bit faster than my old S5, I am still gonna watch it. On Sunday I tested out the Mop and I was really impressed. Make sure you have the carpet setting to Rise in the settings otherwise it will just mop on your carpet. The pad pulls up enough for most my rugs in the house, it still might slightly touch but its not actively engaging the mopping function so it doesn't leave really any water behind. Certainly less than a kid coming in from the pool or when exiting a shower not yet fully dried. It also isn't lingering over a spot as it moves so I don't know how much of a issue this might be. Your mileage might very but if the carpet is close I would test it out. Today is Monday and first day of scheduled cleanings, first thing in the morning I filled up the water basin (I am using distilled water, just don't want any small particulates to get into the water system) and got the pad wet. Then opened the door (remember its hidden away in the laundry room). PROS: - Great suction, seems to get at least everything my S5 got - Rubber brush with removable ends, I live with 3 women with long hair and its very easy to pop off the ends and remove the twined hair. - Mopping and scrubbing so far is really cleaning up the floor. I bet with daily runs the floor will just stay in great shape. - Lifting the Mop means no more extra prepping or trying to zone out a room away from the carpet just for one mop cycle, also the map shows the detect carpet so no more guessing based on the map and the items in the room. - Pending the auto empty bin, this might be a game changer! CONS (might seem nitpicky but for future buyers): - Battery life, not sure yet, it does stop to charge then auto resume so not that big of a deal, but we will see - No auto empty bin yet and unknown cost. Possible future CONS (cause I am gonna be THAT guy): - No extra pads or brushes in the box so with daily mopping how long is this pad gonna last? - curious about popping off the ends on the rubber brush to remove hair, will those lose some hold strength on the 20th remove the 10th the 100th? remains to be seen. That is about it, I am sure there will be an S7 Max with a Camera in the not to distant future, but I am not a fan of the camera action on the bots, I do like the lidar mapping and I think this is a great robot. Definite Buy if your upgrading from a S5 or if you want that combo Vacuum/Mop functionality in one pass with carpet.
