OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

Works as well as the more expensive machines

Overall, I really like this vacuum. The adjustable speed allows me to run it at a lower suction on my hardwood floors, increasing the length of cleaning cycles. It has a great battery life, cleaning for nearly 2 hours on a single charge! And it is far cheaper than most other robot vacuums I looked at. Additionally, the app is super responsive. If you click a button in the OKP Life app, the robot vacuum responds nearly instantaneously. (I have not noticed a difference in response times when using the app vs the remote.) My only complaint is that it is REALLY bad at docking (returning to home). At the end of a cleaning cycle, I have literally seen it wander around for 30+ minutes looking for its docking station. Just today, I watched it try to dock for about 20 minutes. (I was folding laundry and decided to just watch it try and fail to return to the charging base.) Seemingly it requires a direct line of sight to the base in order to dock. Thats already annoying, but worse yet, when approaching from the side, it tries to swing out before docking. Today, I was running it on my third floor/story, with the docking station directly across from the stairwell. It repeatedly rammed itself into the banister as it approached the docking station due to that swing-out behavior. If it wasnt for the fact that it takes forever for the vacuum to find its way home, I would give this a 5/5. Alas, that is super inconvenient, so I have to drop a star.

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.

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.

I’ve had it for 2 weeks so far. Vacuum works well, picks up dust well. It was tricky to get the app going (had to use precise location) then it worked well.

Compared to all the similar products in the market , this is value for money ! . Only issue I see is when cleaning the second floor walkway in my house close to the stairs . When it hits the wall it reverses and then tips over the edge of the stairs . From there it is not able to recover and has fallen Dow the stairs . This is probably a software bug which the company needs to address

Updated Update: After 6 months the robot is completely dead. It doesnt turn on and it doesnt charge. The charging base has power and all the sensors are clean, but when the robot is on the base it does not charge. Fortunately OKP has a 1 year warranty and Amazon told me to contact them for a repair or replacement. Great, right? Apparently not, because OKP decided to not respond to my help request at all. Amazon followed up with me to see if they had fixed the issue and I told them they hadnt. So Amazon has offered me a partial refund. So I send the broken robot back to Amazon, they give me a partial refund, and I am left with nothing and am out $40. OKP doesnt back their warranty, and you cant get a full refund or replacement from Amazon after 90 days. There are many other reputable robot companies, but this is not one of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: After using this for a few months now, I kind of hate this little robot. Ill be honest, the company advertises that if you leave a 5 star review theyll send you a free gift (which is actually illegal to do according to the FTC, and against Amazon policy). But I did leave a 5 star review and sent it to OKP, but never received a gift from them. I suspect most of the 5 stars are because of this bribe theyre offering. Take them with a grain of salt, as I now know I should have done. Compared to my other robot vacuums, this one is the least effective. Its smaller, much lighter (the plastic housing feels thinner/cheaper), but also less powerful. It drives slower than my other robots and only lasts about 30 minutes, whereas my other robots will run for a couple of hours. It has different power settings and I keep it on the lowest power setting. If its on high then it wont last 30 minutes. I find this robot is best suited to cleaning one small room, but it definitely cant handle an entire floor or even one large room. Im using this one now in my small bedroom (10x11) and thats about all it can handle on one charge. I originally loved that it didnt have a brush roll, and thats why I bought it. Then I realized that I could just take out the brush rolls on my other robots and Id end up with a more powerful version of this little guy that just works better. The biggest problem is that if it stays on the charging dock for too long, then it stops charging but the battery slowly drains. I was trying to use it once a week, and every time I tried to start it, it was completely dead (while still on the charger). To get it to work I have to take it off the charger, place it back on to get it to start charging again and then wait a couple of hours to start running it. If I dont run the robot the same day it goes on the charger, it doesnt retain enough battery to run. Its not really a hands off system since I have to plan out when Im going to reset the charging and then time it out to come back to start the robot before it starts draining power again. Its incredibly frustrating. Do yourself a favor and buy a more expensive model that will just work whenever you need it to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review: Just got this robot and so far Im pleased with it. Ive had 3 other vacuum robots by other brands. This robot is smallest but the dirt chamber is the biggest My favorite part is that there is no brush roll. On one hand theres no brush to scrape dust off the floor. I dont have any carpets so thats not a main concern for me. But I have pets and long hair and I spend every day pulling hair out of my other robots. I love not having to deal with that with the OKP.

Bought this for my downstairs and moved a Roomba upstairs. The good: it never gets stuck, but the Roomba did when it was downstairs. The bad: it doesnt pick up as much as the Roomba by a long shot. I emptied the Roomba every other day (Damn dog.) This one, empty once a week. Flooring is a mix of hardwood, tile and carpet. This is going to work best if you have hard floors. The Roomba has two beater bars that lift dirt out of carpet fiber. This one has two sweeper brushes that sweep surface dirt to be sucked up. Its great on the hardwood and tile, but not so much on carpet.

Lightweight and convenient, the only downside is that sometimes the garbage falls out

Only had it 1 day- but love it so far!! Easy to empty. Not too noisy.
