    Cleans floors methodically and finds it's way into every corner and crevice. Like how it self-empties and how you can control it from your phone. The only drawback is that it gets stuck on my plush rug, so I have to block off my rug area before vacuuming my living room, every time. I had read a review saying that if vacuums plush rugs just fine, but it doesnt. It gets stuck and shuts down. Other than that I really enjoy having clean floors now!

    honestly such a good purchase I started with the RV 1000 with no self empty base and it was awesome did my whole 1,200 ft apartment on a single charge but I got tired of emptying it saw the self empty base version on sale for $350 so I used a $100 Best Buy gift card and bought the whole IQ XL self empty for $250 definitely would still buy at the $399 sale price but man buy buy buy better deal than any other self vacuum. It is very quiet and you can select which rooms it cleans at what times. It also will return to the base to empty the dust and then continue vacuuming and it will return to the base to charge if the battery is low and then will continue vacuuming.

    We love the robo vacuum. This is the second one we have had and it’s definitely superior to the first one. We love that it actually learns the house and maps it out and dumps it’s contents itself.

    Love it, the only downside is that it doesn’t know when to turn when it gets stuck, for example, it would continue to try to go up the xmas tree plastic stands and then I’d have to manually move it away, the problem with moving it is everytime you “interrupt” the cleaning cycle, it tends to restart all over again with the cycle, so it just takes longer than what it normally would without problems.

    Self emptying bin is a game changer. It runs while we are sleeping and we don't have worry that it won't run because it is full from all the hair from our dogs and cats.

    Absolutely delighted with this purchase, I was almost more fascinated watching this thing map out the house than how well it cleans. That being said, this is awesome, it’s quiet and gets into places that we sometimes miss with a vacuum cleaner. Empties itself after it vacuums and I was really surprised at how much it picks up evident because we have two dogs. I have it scheduled to clean everyday. I wish the battery lasted longer, but it cleans most of the house before docking and recharging then finishing up later. I would highly recommend this item, it takes away a tedious chore, and it’s fun to watch

    This was a replacement for an earlier model of the same sweeper. The upgrades make it easier to use and it does a great job of cleaning. Quieter also.

    This thing is awesome! Took about a week to fully map the house but after it got that straight, it was quick and efficient. While mapping, it might run for an hour to an hour and a half, but now it’s done in 30 minutes and that’s with two pass overs. It docks halfway through a cycle to empty and picks up exactly where it left off in a completely different room. I did a lot of research on the best robot vacuums and for the price, I am not disappointed one bit. My main concern was the battery life, but it is so much longer than advertised, and it doesn’t even need to run that long because it is so efficient.

    Does a great job of vacuuming and using my phone i can program when I want it to vacuum. I like that it maps the house and when its full it empties it's self and keeps on going.

    Really like it. Especially its feature self-empties every 30 minutes and then resumes where it left off. Only issue is the Wi-Fi connection with the app; it would not connect and had to reboot many times; very annoying for a pricey vacuum robot. It's been working with no problems. If you buy this robot, you may confront WiFi issues.

    It sucks. It gets the dog hair (and there is a lot) and coffee grounds and random scraps of paper and dirt and drool (from the dogs again). Works pretty well in my opinion. Chamber is easy to remove and put back on. And it gets over the transition strip from one room to the next. Definitely happy about the purchase. Worth it.

    I like this one better then the two roomba I have already. I do hate the fact that it doesn't always empty the vacuum cleaner storage area, so that usually has to be done every other day or three. I wish the default on the vacuum was full power, but it does a great job with keeping the dog hair down and picking up clothes umbs that they kids leave and the dogs miss.

    It cleans decently but for some reason, even after covering the entire area it goes back for a charge and then covers the same area again! After the second trip it goes ack to the charge station and stays. Very difficult to match to my phone using the supplied instructions.
