I'm in LOVE!
Like some other reviewers I was skeptical, the mop feature tipped the scales. I'll preface this review with the fact that there are 2 adults, 2 dogs, and 2 young children in the house. The biggest culprit being the German Shepherd who loses hair so fast that it's hard to believe he isn't bald and I am a bit of a clean freak, really! ROBBIE which is his name, runs around cleaning floors in the entire house, even under beds and in closets. I don't have Robbie set up to clean on a schedule but run him manually with the android app regularly 3 to 4 times a week after I get home from work. He only mops on weekends unless someone makes a mess. I do empty the collector bin after each days cleaning, remember the dog? After the weekend's workout he gets a clean filter, bin cleaning, and a once over check out to ensure sensors & brushes are clean. The whole process takes maybe 10 minutes.
After starting to use Robbie I noticed almost immediately the back pain relief. The doctors say vacuuming is the worst thing for your back & I'm a believer now. It used to be that after a regular day of vacuuming and mopping my back hurt so bad I had a hard time taking in a breath. Now Robbie does the heavy lifting. I let him vacuum then pick up the rugs to run the mop feature. With all the Christmas decorations out he didn't get to come out for a few weeks and was unplugged for 2 days while I waxed the hardwoods which lost connection to the wifi. It wasn't a big deal to reconnect and as I post this review, he's cleaning the hardwoods. I have no complaints aside from virtual wall settings but for now I just block his path to the carpeted areas. I do hope for an app update sometime soon.
Make sure to keep cords up and out of the path. I check each room and under the kids beds for obvious reason. I wouldn't blindly vacuum & wouldn't expect Robbie to either. Besides how clean is it if there's crap laying around? Well worth the investment and I brag about my guy every chance I get.
