OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

We named ours Carl.

I run this vacuum multiple times a week. I absolutely love that I can essentially vacuum every day if I wanted to and also sit on the couch. I got this on sale so look for a great discount. It does get stuck from time to time but overall I think all my loved ones should buy this

Decent vacuum but it does have some caveats. For the price, I didnt expect it to do too much. I saw a lot of reviews that complained about it not picking up stuff on carpet. This model is meant for hardwood flooring only and maybe an extremely flat rug but other than that its pretty basic. It has a suction port. No brush so it wont pick up anything from carpet. Its fine for my use as I only have carpet one room. It took around 30 minutes to set up because it couldnt connect to my wi-fi for whatever reason. I ended up having to completely reset it to get it to find my wi-fi. It worked fine after that. For my 790 sq ft home, the cleaning cycle took about 40 minutes. The areas it cleaned in those 40 minutes were the kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and bathroom. It doesnt seem to go in any particular order. It kind of bounces around in a area until it feels like its cleaned the whole area then it moves to the next area. It picks up well but you have to make sure you have all cords, shoes, etc put away because the vacuum will suck those right up. It did get stuck a few times and it mostly was able to get itself out from the area it was stuck in. I had to rescue it twice so far. Once from underneath the couch and once under the lamp as it happened to jump up onto a pile of cords. It actually beeps a few times to tell you it needs to be rescued. Thats a pretty decent feature. One feature I do have an issue with is once its done with the cleaning cycle, it has a hard time finding its charging base. The instructions state that if you move the base during the cleaning cycle or start the robot from an area other than the charging station, the robot will have a hard time finding the base. I dont find this to be true because my robot has started every cleaning cycle from the base and when the cleaning cycle ends, the vacuum goes everywhere but to its based. Sometimes it takes it a while to get docked if it finishes in another room or sometimes even near by. It roams around lost for 10 minutes before docking itself or me self docking it. Im not sure what the trick is to get it to dock in its place every time. Other than that, for the price, its decent. Its a decent vacuum to have for in between cleaning. Most certainly its not a replacement for a full size vacuum.

I bought this off of a whim because it was a todays deal. Didnt know the brand. I Love it. I posted the picture of the first time I tried it out. I have 3 cats and two dogs with hardwood floors and I was always sweeping. It did a great job. Even went under the table with all the chairs and came out. Went on the pats by the sink. It works great so far but only had it for two days. Great price.

If you’re looking for a fun little robot you can control with your phone that resembles a vacuum, then this might work. Setup was easy and the unit did a decent job of navigating around our house. The battery life was more than enough, but the vacuum itself isn’t as strong as the more expensive brands. Update: The manufacturer saw my review and jumped to action to replace the unit with one that works as planned. Customer service has been great and I’ll add more details once I can get the new one setup.

This is my 2nd robotic vacuum. The first one I got on sale at Lowes. Compared to the Bob Sweep, the OKP Life K2 is hands down a winner. All the issues my Bob Sweep encountered were not issues for the OKP. BobSweep 1. Black rubber mat under treadmill - Bob would get stuck and confused every time no matter where it approached the mat 2. Smaller drive wheels which led to Bob getting stuck often 3. Felt like an early gen programming. Bob could not figure out how to unstick himself if he got into a jam. I watched it for over 5 minutes going back and forth over the same moves before shutting down and giving up. OKP 1. Nice, large drive wheels to help it go up and over small height differences 2. Nicely programmed code and it has only gotten stuck once 3. Wish I had gotten a model which can self empty, but still impressed with how OKP has been cleaning 4. Has a Find robot option in the phone software. If the vacuum does mange to get stuck, you can easily find it rather than searching under all furniture 5. Annoying - the Life K2 does not store a map. So watching it try and go home is frustrating. Esp when it has to go back and forth covering the full walls of a hallway instead of just homing in on the base and going there. However, it does make it home which is more than could be said for the Bob Sweep. This is a good purchase and I have been happy. Does it replace a full size manual vacuum? Not quite. But keeping up after a full house sweep is definitely in its wheelhouse and makes the times you pull out the larger model go quicker.
