OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

My first robot vacuum that I bought because it came recommended on a deals blog. It picks up dust every single day. I have it programmed to run 5 days a week when I go to work. Im pretty impressed with the amount of dust it picks up each day! The machine is sturdy, and even came out unscathed after a half-story fall. But it is dumb. Really dumb. It uses mostly random patterns with some logic on what direction to focus on, and does a decent job of trying to get unstuck. It will even shut off the vacuum suction if it becomes stuck or theres a clog. I believe it uses IR to find its way back to base, but it uses the random logic to find that signal once the useful battery life for suction has ended. The app also only notifies me rarely when it gets stuck. And the setup isnt intuitive either as it relies upon a mashup of 3rd party unknown home automation apps. It gets stuck under my bed frame a lot, where it has decorative drops in the wood. It also gets tangled a lot on any type of loose clothing or cords and has even ripped up some long strands in my older looped carpet. The works with Google is a complete flop and I disabled it. It has been turning on at random times more and more lately, which is very annoying. I think the run IR signal is similar to something in my house, maybe the thermostat. I noticed that sometimes when I mark me home on my Nest app or adjust the thermostat, it will start to run right away. I would defer to purchasing a smarter-sensing robot vacuum. One that can plot a room better so that it doesnt take 15 minutes to find home, avoids clothing and maybe cords better, and doesnt get stuck in obvious trouble spots.

Works as well as the more expensive machines

So to start off, it does pick up a good bit, but for some reason it only likes to stay in a couple rooms of my house. It does not clean parallel with my walls and leaves a little bit of stuff at the baseboards, dont know if its a calibration issue. It has some trouble getting onto my rug in the living room and its not a thick one. I do like it because it cleans a good bit of dog hair which I have plenty of. Its not meant to clean everything but it helps in between deep clean.

Was skeptical because of the price point but this thing really works. I have twin 2y/o and a dog, plus a back injury so this was an important purchase.

It doesn’t have as much suction power as my Robot but this one is just for my master bedroom, which doesn’t get as dirty as the rest of the house. At the price I paid I’m very happy with it. I can’t get the app to work though.

This cleans my carpet very well and picks up a lot of dog hair. Its really good at turning away from places it cant access. Its also very easy to clean. I bought this as a replacement for a different brand I had for three years and this one is much better.

TL;DR would recommend *on sale,* but dont expect perfection. Okay so lemme preface this that I am physically disabled, autistic, and have two thick haired cats. Before I got this machine I didnt even want to get out of bed when I had the energy or needed to, because the floor was dirty and it caused major sensory issues. The floor was dirty because I rarely had the energy to clean the house. This machine is not perfect by a long shot, but it has allowed me the ability to more comfortably move around my house when I have the energy. Pros: ~Cleans. It doesnt clean perfect, but my floors are a lot cleaner. They look and feel cleaner. ~Not loud. I cant vaccum, only sweep or mop due to sensory issues, but this doesnt bother me. I can be paying attention or have it as background noise and its fine. ~Actually collects pet hair. Like you cant even say that for some full size vaccums. ~Collects human hair. I have long hair, it collects it, and the stuff that does get tangled around the bristles is super easy to untangle. Cons: ~You still have to clean up after it. Like I dont have sensory issues walking barefoot now, but the floor still needs to be mopped, and there is dirt in the corners. Somewhat expected, but I was expecting a tad bit more? ~Gets trapped places. Got into my bathroom but messed up my floor towel doing so, and couldnt get themselves out. Also gets stuck in corners? ~Small container. I mean, again, expected, but its still a bit frustrating to have it run a cycle, fill up half way through, and keep running until the battery is out. ~Remote turns it on, but cant get it home. ~Actually only you can get it home. If it runs into furniture it gets lost going home and cant make it. You need to pick it up and point it with a direct path home. Thats probably the biggest issue. I do really like this. It was around 100 dollars. I wouldnt pay more than that, based on the fact I have to guide it home, but Im still happy my house is a significant bit cleaner.

I’ve had this since for about 8 months and I can’t imagine life without it. I have a husky German shepherd mix who wafts little puffs of fluff into the air as she walks. Anyone with a plush coated pup knows the struggle of keeping a floor free of pet hair. No matter when you last vacuumed, there will be more hair. I never expect it to do the job of a vacuum. It’s a sweeper. All carpets and nooks and crannies still need a real vacuum when it’s finished sweeping. That’s okay. We call it Marvin. The good: I bought Marvin for under 100 expecting it would be cheaply made and not as effective as the Shark I used to have. I was wrong. Marvin is my best friend. I am so impressed with it! It makes vacuuming a once per day job instead of an ongoing struggle. I am constantly surprised how much hair Marvin gets and how great my hard floors look. It came with replacements for each sweeping arm and the filter. Emptying it is simple, and cleaning the arms is as easy as pulling them off, removing whatever is caught, and snapping them back on. It has an optional app if you want to program the times it should run and a remote if you’d rather tell it to start without needing the app. Marvin has battery life is enough to thoroughly make its way through my living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway before needing to go home and recharge, which is perfect for us in our apartment where the rest of the rooms are carpeted and need a real vacuum. We love Marvin. The bad: Marvin is… stupid. We joke that it is time to play the lottery when Marvin actually finds its charging base and no one has intervened. Marvin also has no advanced AI learning like the expensive floor robots do. You will not be able to tell it *not* to go somewhere so if you have an area with cords it might eat, or an area it can get stuck… yeah, it’s going to unless you make a barricade it can’t get through. The app is only to program the times it turns on and the pattern of sweeping it does, not to program its path. When it does get stuck, it is obnoxiously loud trying to free itself before it gives up and sadly beeps for assistance. You’ll know it needs help before it does. For as inexpensive as it is, I’d recommend it to anyone who would like a sweeper bot but, like me, the 300-700 bots are way out of their price range. Marvin does a really good job and makes my life so much easier that I forgive its shortcomings without hesitation.

Set up tool a little while, some user error, some confusion. Works good to pick up pet hair (our main use for this vacuum). Likes to get stuck in corners, but otherwise works very methodically and does a good job. Only change I would make is so our cat can not turn it on.

Performance for the price. Picture tells the story. Leaves clean trail, lifts carpet lint, crumbs and hair. Cleans under furniture and App is East to use.
