Robot Vacuum Self Emptying, Robot Vacuum Cleaner 150Mins Runtime, Low Noise 53 dB, Slim Robotic Vacuum, 3,200Pa Strong Suction, Work with WiFi/App/Alexa, for Carpets, Pet Hair, Black

Vacuum works well but literally this thing I give a 0 out of 10 for it "avoidance" skills. I'm not taping around all my stuff. ** edit-- this company had probably the absolute best customer service of anyone on here. They were quick to help me troubleshoot and determine what I needed wasn't this bot and sent me a different one to try out!!! I'm setting the new one up today

UPDATE:Support contacted me and tried to resolve the issue. Unfortunately, they were not able to resolve it, but sent a label to retiring it. I received a refund shortly after dropping it at UPS store.I hate that this one did not work, but appreciate that they tried to resolve it.Thank you for your support.I purchased this model because it had a good discount.Will think twice next time. It does not always finish. It will do two-thirds of living room and then reverse direction and go over part that is already done.Sometimes it has trouble finding its home base.

The media could not be loaded.  This robot vac is easy to use by an older person, either by pressing buttons on the vac, or by using the remote, if they aren't comfortable using an app. It works great on carpet, tile, and rugs, and moves easily from one surface to the next. It can even run with half of it on a pile rug, and half on a tile floor, and still do a great job cleaning. You can see this in the video. I shed a lot of long-ish hair, and it's a problem for standard vacuum cleaners. However, on this robotic vac, my hair is not getting tangled up in the roller brush or around other moving parts. Instead, my hair gets sucked into the vac and then transferred to the bag in the base unit during the self-emptying mode. I included a picture of the bottom of the vac, as well as the contents of the bag after two cleaning cycles to show this. The bag is very simple to remove and replace. I highly recommend this as a gift for your 65+ or disabled family members who have trouble running a traditional vacuum cleaner. I don't have to throw my back out to keep my flooring clean, and it's such a relief!

Edit.. Have had some extensive messaging with the Verefa CS folks. VERY helpful and amazingly responsive to customer needs. They have a few suggestions to get better performance out of the unit, but basically my house and cleaning areas are a lot larger than most vacuums available can deal with.. Guess it's generally expected houses this large come with a cleaning staff to do the dirty work. We're still working some ideas to make things better using multiple units.I have pushed this one unit through a few more cleanings and the results for this are still about the same. It does clean well, but takes a bit of forcing to get it into some parts of the house using the remote. It just doesn't seem to be that far away from it's base on it's own._____________________________________________________________________It cleans what it can find fairly well. This is the only thing it has going for it.I've got a pretty large house Cleaning area is about 2500ft. It takes almost two full charges to completely cover. Run time even on LOW power is right at 100 minutes on hardwood. The app can show you where it's been, but the vacuum itself is clueless about where it is or where it's charging base is. When it's ready to charge, it just wanders at random until it seems to pick up a weak RF signal from the base and it will home in on that and dock. Its desire to follow the shortest distance to that signal rather than an already tracked path will easily cause it to get cornered between couches trying to get home and just die there.After the 1st cleaning it was a total of 5 rooms missed, 2nd it found one of those but lost another. After three "complete" cleanings, there are still 3 rooms and the front entry area it hasn't found. Ironically these areas are relatively close to the base, so you'd think it would have found them first. I expected the vacuum would "learn" the room and learn how to avoid traps but no. It will regularly get stuck under the edge of a cabinet and once freed will drive right back into it. Its knowledge never gets beyond knowing what it's covered on that particular cleaning and has no long term memory that carries over to the next.When cleaning what you think would be an obvious hallway it will run back and forth across the 4ft width rather than the 15ft length. A lot of wasted time and battery life constantly turning around over and over and over..
