OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

So I ordered this for my step daughter. Couldn’t beat the price. Then decided to order me one too. Hers came and was defective. The battery wouldn’t hold a charge and would work after being taken off the docking station. Called Amazon tech support as an option given just to make sure it was not operator error. It wasnt. So they tell me they can not send me a replacement but they can give me credit. I tell them “ok” cause I will just order another one. Mine came in and it works! Good to go! My problem here is now they jumped the price up $40 and now I’m screwed out of a deal. Pretty messed up. If they had just done the exchange I would not be having to pay extra. So my rating for this is 4 stars because of that. I’m gonna call and complain to Amazon as that was on them. Not the sellers fault. I went ahead and gave mine to my step daughter. But I’m still not happy I couldn’t get an exchange for the deal it was at!

I ave had no luck connecting to phone. That is only reason not 5. It does clean good on hardwood floor, carpet ok. We do like it a lot! I will try to connect with phone latter then update.

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.

I bought this on sale a year ago. I had a cheaper robot vac that I bought to see if I even liked them, I loved it, and thought Id upgrade. Ill admit I got the delivery and didnt open it for several months, life got in the way. Had trouble from the start getting it setup, requires a 2.4GHz wifi (in 2022?!) and mine is both 2.4 and 5 but it wouldnt recognize the 2.4. Eventually got past that but have never been able to get it to run in any mode except the default random mode. I bought it for the other modes. It has only once managed to run for a full cycle after at least 50 attempts. Ive tried all the troubleshooting I could find online to no avail, turn it off, turn it on, etc. It will not respond to the app or remote after it stops, I have put it back on the base and turn it off/on. When it decides to run for more than 2 minutes, it bumps into things much harder than my cheaper vac and somehow ends up dragging lighter things - shoes, boxes, small trash cans - around. It has never ever returned to home, just dies randomly somewhere, sometimes in the middle of an empty floor, sometimes under the furniture, sometimes two seconds after leaving its base. The only good thing I have to say is the brushes pop off and on easily (no screws), which is great for removing long hair that gets wrapped around them.

Ok. So I have 2 SHORTHAIRED dogs. I emphasized Shorthaired bc short vs long makes a difference. One of my heathens enjoys picnicking on the living room rug rather than eating out of her bowl so there’s wee tiny dog hairs and kibble EVERYWHERE & I’m tired of sweeping every day. I got it for downstairs which is wood flooring with area/accent rugs. Ethel - I named the vac Ethel - is a baddie. 20 minutes out of the box & she’s sucking up all the things. Bits of kibble, pointer-fetti (aka dog hair), a random petrified macaroni I didn’t even know was living under the cabinet like it paid rent - all of the things. As for rugs - she hopped herself right up on the thick area rug in the living room & went to work. The rubber-backed kitchen mats seem to get wadded under her tho so, simple fix, I’ll just shake them out & put them up when she’s gonna do her thing. The pic is after about 20-30 minutes of her wandering around. And I swept YESTERDAY. She comes with extra spinny arms & an extra filter - the filter is washable which I didn’t realize when I bought her, but YAY. I took off a star bc I haven’t been able to get her to talk to the app yet, but she’s got a remote so I don’t much care. It’s clear she’s not going to be set off remotely in this house anyhow. One of the dogs is convinced she’s going to kill her, the other dog is trying to kill Ethel. Basically I have one pointer on the sofa acting like an elephant with a mouse & the other posturing, growling, & pointing at her. Prey-drive engaged. I’ll also add - she’s quieter than expected which is just icing at this juncture.

I bought the vacuum because of the price and the reviews a little under a year ago. It did pretty well especially given the price and overall I was very impressed. It was my first actual robot vacuum and it seemed to do the trick just fine for what I used it to do. Anyway, I went away for about six months to school out of town and came back to use it. The vacuum power button flashed red and beeped at me, which indicated a charging/battery problem. Since then I’ve contacted customer service through the phone, and they recommended I email them. I did so, and it took them almost a month to get back to me which is fine because I took a bit to respond. They asked me for the serial number and things of that nature which is also okay. The problem arose when they asked for my order number, which I can’t seem to find since I bought this thing back in early 2021. I notified them of this and they said it was required. So what I did was I bought another one of these vacuums and provided this new order number. They sent me an email yesterday asking me to open up the vacuum and check the motherboard. For the normal consumer this would probably be daunting and I’m confused as to why they’d ask this of me. However I did as they asked because I do like to get hands on with these type of things. There seems to be nothing wrong with the motherboard, however I noticed a serious design flaw. On this style of vacuum, it has been copied by numerous brands. Most of them actually have an easy to open compartment where you can pop out the old battery and replace it. The OKP however, does NOT. The only way you can access the battery is by taking the whole top off, disconnecting all the wiring connected to the motherboard, and pulling off the motherboard itself. That’s a huge hassle that could’ve been EASILY avoided by just putting in a battery compartment that the consumer can access. Overall I liked the vacuum and for the price it was great, until it wasn’t. I think I’ll try getting one elsewhere by a more well known brand next time.
