Customers are positive about the POWERbot™'s vacuuming capabilities, with many praising its effectiveness in maintaining clean floors between deep cleans. They also find the robot vacuum easy to use and clean. However, customers are negative about its navigation, noting challenges with maneuvering around furniture and obstacles in tighter spaces. The robot sometimes struggles to navigate efficiently in areas with limited space or many obstructions.
Works great on flat, even surfaces. Good on tile, low pile carpet/rugs, and wood floors. But it does seem to get lost easily with chairs and tables, and helping it out does seem to make it miss areas later on. The remote has a great spot clean feature that I find myself using often, just point the laser (close but not right on it), and it’ll follow. The suction power on it great considering we have 3 mostly white pets all with long coats. Running it daily or every other day will keep your home clean and prevent jams/clogs. Which happen a lot with us and are not the easiest to clean without good tool such as picks and fine pliers. Not the best for people that like to set and forget unless you have a good cleared floor and few messes every time. It will ping your phone with cries for help until you get it.

This vac has a remote that has ability to POINT CLEAN. You just point where and vac will follow. Has mapping function, 3 levels of cleaning, at the normal it is quiet 8n comparison with many others. Does the job well, can manually direct it. Con: magnetic tape to avoid the areas does not work and is very short.

I have only had this about a full month, but has been great for the most part. We have a dog that sheds like crazy. I was constantly vacuuming and it was getting old so I bought this. Super easy to setup and control. I have it set on a daily schedule to run when we are not home. It usually takes two tries to get the entire area and will re-dock to charge to finish the final round. It has gotten caught a couple times and died needed us to manually put it back on the charger. There have also been a couple times it just didn't make it back to the base to charge in enough time and died. But other than that it has been awesome coming home to a clean floor. This is by no means a full replacement for a regular vacuum, but we only have to vacuum once a week to get the small areas this just doesn't get to compared to daily without it. The holding bin is not big and with the amount of shedding my dog does it has to be emptied every other day. I have not used any of the other robot vacuums so I can't say how it compares, but talking to others that have those, this seems to be comparable if not better than the others. Would definitely buy this again and would recommend it to others.
