if you can afford it and you're on the fence by this one! I've been wanting a robot vacuum for a couple of years now, as I am disabled with very bad back issues. I can't sweep my brand new lvp flooring. they require daily sweeping, because they are a beautiful mix of light and dark beige and sand color, and you can see crumbs from doggy treats and short black dog hair from our pitbull. soon, you'll be able to see the super soft fluffy fur from my German Shepherd puppy and I was so excited to get these new floor until I realized I'd have to maintenance them daily! so a robot vacuum was mandatory for me. I was just afraid with all of these fake reviews and paid reviews for free products that I would get a piece of junk, or that 1/3 of any product that just doesn't work because everything's so cheaply made these days. I've only had this vacuum for one day but it was very easy to set up and it mapped out my entire downstairs in less than 5 minutes. I don't know why these other people in the previous reviews are saying how difficult it is to set up because my Wi-Fi isn't very strong being on the edge of the country and all you literally have to do is scan the QR code download the app and it walks you through the process very clearly. there are even drop-down buttons for each step asking if you want it to show you exactly what to do. I'm not super tech savvy, and if I don't have clear instructions I can't mess around with it and figure it out! so this is really easy to figure out and follow the app instructions. you're supposed to set the base somewhere where your Wi-Fi is strong so I just found a spot with a outlet in our strong Wi-Fi area downstairs, which is in the dining room just below the closet the router is in, upstairs. it connected without a problem and docked itself after I followed the instructions of turning it on. then I had to wait about 30 minutes for it to charge from 40% to the required 50% for mapping out the area. all easy! it looks sharp and I don't mind that it's sitting in my dining room as it's not a cheap looking product at all. there are also people who are complaining about the noise it makes. it's no louder than any vacuum cleaner, and I don't think it's even that loud. it's been running for about 45 minutes and it's emptied into the base twice and now it's charging to finish the last room. my dogs don't bark at it and they used to bark when I was running the vacuum cleaner so I don't know what the difference is but either way it's a difference. I am so impressed that how thorough this vacuum is! if it can fit in the spot it will go there and it doesn't miss anywhere! you may have to sweep out small hard to reach areas before you start vacuuming I walked back and forth across the area it has already cleaned and I have not stepped on one dog snap crumb or seen any glitter from Christmas wrapping so far. I am so so happy I picked this brand make and model! I bought the 4-year protection plan.
