This is the 3rd robot vacuum that I have owned in the past 3 years. Hands down the best thus far. I have 4 cats and a Golden Retriever. Have allergies, so I end up cleaning regularly to keep the animal dander down. This little vacuum has the power and capacity to keep up with our house. We have both tile and carpet in the same room, and she runs over everything just great. Suction is strong, wind tunnel type technology picks up more than just the top dust and hair. large bin makes it so I don't have to empty in the middle of her cycle. The main brush is much better quality than competitors, and does not clog with the pet hair as easily as the others I have had. Would totally recommend! And it also has a quiet mode (limits the power so she runs quieter). Still works great on quiet mode, and it did not wake up the teenager.

We had a Dyson for about 10 years. good unit but got expensive to repair every time into the shop cost $300 - $550. Got feed up and purchased the Powerbot after much research. CR rated it very good. We have a 1 story 2400 sq ft. Carpet, tile, hard wood floors this machine is great. My wife starts it in the early am she will go into the study and start sewing. 2 hrs later come out and all the vacuume is done and back to its home base, and the floors look great. Our dog Max is not afraid of this machine. He just lies there and it cleans around him after he moves it cleans were he was. We do empty the cup after 2 uses which is no problem. Clean the brushes every 3 weeks. It is running great. It uses a straight pattern with a little overlap. It does NOT do random patterns and miss many spots. The noise level is low. You can sit down and controll it with remote controll. It will also spot clean, just move it over the area and press the spot clean button and it works out and then back in does a supper job.. Just the wife, myself and Max we vacuume about 3 or 4 time per week. LOVE it LOVE it.

I really enjoy this product, every day at 2 PM it goes off and cleans my entire downstairs in about an hour and a half . A few things I don't like is that it gets stuck from time to time in certain areas of my downstairs around kitchen table or dining room table legs sometimes it gets stuck on the rocking chair. But I do like is the flexibility to use my phone and start the vacuum if I'm coming home or if I'm going out the Wi-Fi on it seems to be pretty good it does however from time to time not pair with my Wi-Fi at the house for it drops the signal . I do enjoy however how powerful it is and it does also work on carpets pretty well because it does have actual vacuum power not just sweeping as the other vacuum robots do.
