Ok...if your looking for a robot vacuum to get deep DOWN cleaning in your carpet this is not the one (I doubt any robot vacuum is imo). I have 4 pets and daily vacuuming is not always accomplished. I needed something that will get the pet hair and kitchen crumbs up. I was amazed at how well this did this and at how much it was able to collect (hair, crumbs, kitty litter and dirt) not to mention how quietly this goes about its business. Yes your have to watch it the first couple times it runs because you just never know what it may get caught up on. My first run I just let it go. I found (this should have been a no brainer though) it can get caught up on cords and "some" area carpets depending on thickness of the area rugs. It also bumped my (gas burning) access panel to fireplace which made the panel open (it's just a touch release) and then proceeded to climb over the panel and go inside and got stuck. Never crossed my mind that that would even happen! It didn't hurt anything, just got stuck. I also didn't move any chairs from around the dining room table so while it managed to get under there it took quite awhile to figure it's way out but it finally did. So basically yes you need to watch and figure out what obstacles might get it stuck. It has no problem moving most light things out of its way such as shoes, pet toys etc. which I found awesome. On a full charge it did my familyroom, kitchen/diningroom, front livingroom, master bedroom and bathroom (my home is 2600 sq feet total. This covered the downstairs of that portion) and made it's way back home to it's station after the battery ran out. Approximately 1 hr. 20 min. It will go under tables if it will fit. So after you figure out what obstacles you need to move....its set it and forget it (except cleaning out the dust bin). Mine goes off each day at a set time.The only thing I wish this would do is climb my furniture to get the pet hair off of. This is a great little machine and I am about to purchase 2 more. One for the upstairs and one for my sis who has hardwood floors. I will up reviews on how well it does on the hardwoods.
