This robot vacuum is a little harder to talk about than I expected, and I mean that in the best possible way. To be more specific: Once you figure out how to use it, it seamlessly becomes a part of your daily life, to the point that it's hard to feel strongly about it one way or another. It's my robot vacuum. It's name is Dustin. It's just an organic part of my household, now. I don't really have a set schedule for when I should have it vacuum. I should, and it's easy to set up, but I just don't. Mostly because having the vacuum run in the first place is already simple enough. You just open the app, click the rooms you want it to clean, and it does it, whether you're home or not. Now, this isn't to say it's perfect. It needs a LOT of space around the dock. 5 feet in front of it, 5 feet to one side, and 1.5 ish feet to the other side. Setting up the app involves making yet another account for another WiFi connected smart device. Running the vacuum means either hoping it doesn't drag all your loose cables (and whatever they're attached to) across the floor, or making sure you pick them up before you let it rip. And, of course, it doesn't like my rugs. Granted, they're either very loose and easy to drag around, have a lifted corner, or are unreasonably thick. But... that's to be expected. Even a standing vacuum cleaner doesn't like them. This is genuinely a fantastic product. I would absolutely recommend this if you're interested in what it has to offer. I've used other brand robot vacuums before, but this is the nicest I've used up to this point. I hope it lasts me for many years!

So I’ve had many a Roomba but this newest iteration takes the cake. You absolutely have to love the mapping function as the detail is phenomenal which benefits from the lidar setup. While you could generally understand the maps present by Roomba’s in the past, I was able to easily see a perfect representation of the accessible floor space. Also the system tries its best to separate into various rooms and did a great job overall. The nice thing is you can easy add more dividers as in my case the hallway and bedroom were one item. I simply went in and drew a line and poof, we have two rooms now instead of one which let me setup a schedule for just the kitchen and living area. The addition of the self cleaning function is much appreciated and even more so that the home base has a bagged function which means better containment of dust. It’s fun to hear it return home and the loud whoosh as it empties its contents into the tower. The improved mapping is the major winner here albeit nothing (yet) stops it from trying to suck up some clear plastic wrapping that was left on the floor. It will pause and chill waiting for you to help it out which can lead to it running out of battery while waiting. Understandably if it was something damaging, you don’t want it dragging itself back home regardless. Luckily you can see in the app where it stopped so you can go find it if it’s missing from its dock.

Never worry about my house being company ready- works great

Bought this after J5 this is by far worse and the app barely works. Vacuum keeps getting lostand not getting back to charger on time
