I placed its charging station under a cabinet, where its out of site. It has no problem finding its way back to it when I tell it to go charge, even if it might take a while when there are many obstacles. Its really been a great help since we got a cat. It catches the cat hair and litter that the cat brings out from the litter box. The amount of dirt and hair I empty out after it runs for a couple of hours is impressive, and proof of the vacuums efficacy. Its easy to operate with the remote. I did not download and test the phone app. The English in the instruction manual is pretty bad, so I didnt want to get the app. The battery seems to last for about two hours, as the product claims. Its more than enough. It gets stuck under furniture that are just the right hieght -- I have a few of those, unfortunately. The included magnetic strip helps avoid those traps. The way the vacuum navigates in a room and around obstacles is really impressive. I tried the mopping as well -- its not great, but it works, and its a very nice addition for a vacuum at this price point. Overall - a great help in the house.

Im so glad that I finally bit the bullet and bought one. Ive only had it for a few days and I already can tell an improvement in my mental health. No joke. I never realized how much looking at crumbs all day triggered me. Im a SAHM and very pregnant right now and I just needed this in my life. I did. My 4 year old sheds crumbs everywhere she goes. God love her, I dont know how she does it. Its like they just roll off her shoulders all day or something. That, plus two cats, means I was sweeping like 8 times a day. And then like an hour later, the floor looked gross again. It really stressed me out. I held off on buying one of these because I assumed we had too many obstacles and I would constantly have to go save it or do too much cleaning beforehand to make it worth it. But it does a good job considering all thats stacked against it. We have a 1200 square foot house filled with about 800 square feet of junk. Are there areas that it misses or gets confused about? YES. Do I occasionally have to save it? Also, yes. But it is still worth it. It successfully cleans about 90% of the house with little interference from me and the battery life is more than enough. Some things Ive learned. Location of the charger dock matters. We had trouble with it not going in one particular room, but once we moved the port, it did fine. Wet the mop pad beforehand and put it the Robot damp. Less streaky that way. Mop feature BTW is nothing to write home about, but is good for in between heavy duty hand mopping. App is good, love all the different modes.

i bought it on sale so definitely worth the price i paid. mopping function works. suction level is good enough. mops and vacuums at same time. theres only a few spots it gets stuck at consistently for me, but thats more a me problem than the robot. i cant figure out the magnetic strips.. but i also didnt take the time to figure it out either. so overall i think this robot vacuum is a great vacuum/mop and it does the job. ive had 2 other robot vacuums and i think this one is the best one out of all 3 for me.

This was a gift for my Mom and she is amazed how well it vacuums and mops her marble floor. When I told her the price, she was doubly amazed. It does a great job of picking up hair and dust from the floor. It doesnt replace her mop, but it does an awesome job at maintaining a squeeky clean floor. The phone APP is easy for me, not so easy for my Mom. Ideally, Id like the find vacuum function to sound an alarm and REPEAT this for one minute. And, to have a button on the remote do this. For now, she contacts me if she cant locate the vacuum. Im able to sound the alarm for her with my phone when its stuck under the furniture. Another area of improvement would be to have white magnet tape to steer the vacuum away from the floor cords. In this case, her floor is white so black tape on a white floor isnt aesthetic. I should mention that the mop function doesnt leave a pool of water on the floor when set to low. This is a plus for me because I dont want my parents slipping on water. The water streak dryed within one minute. The vacuum isnt quiet, and I am honestly am ok with this. I am able to know where it is within the house in the event it is stuck. And, I get alert messages on my phone when this happens. The have used the phone APP to locate the vacuum with its map function, but I havent mastered the orientation of the rooms cleaned. Another area of improvement would be to designate within the map function, what room is what. And, then to specify which room (or hallway) needs to be cleaned. For now, it cleans the whole floor, which it has been able to do successfully with a single charge. I would say one floor is 1700 sq ft. Overall, this has a perfect balance of features and price.

Great vacuum. This vacuum is amazing and picks up alot. This has been our first smart vac and really enjoy the convenience of turnining it on and letting it do its job. The battery life is lasts for over an hour enough to pick up a large room.

For the price of this it works great. Navigates and goes to charger a lot better than the roomba I bought! Really gets almost everything

Im in love. Its me, my boyfriend, and my dog in a pretty small studio apartment. Dirt builds up fast in that small of a space. I couldn’t keep up with the sweeping, not to mention i hated it, and we really couldn’t be sockless around the house because dirt would stick to our feet no matter how recently i cleaned. Enter this vacuum. For a budget option, its amazing. Im sure a more expensive one with more features would be nicer, but this one does the job pretty well. I haven’t connected to the app, but i really havent needed to. I run the vacuum once a day and mop every other day. It bounces around my entire apartment 3-4 times, declares itself done, and goes back to the charging pad. My floors are nice and clean, and it even gets under the furniture where I always ignored. Its not super quiet, but its not any louder than a dishwasher or a dryer or something. It does get stuck on rugs, so i pick up my small ones and shake them out before letting it run. The vacuum does push stuff around a bit. My dogs beds get shoved around for a while till it hits a more concrete barrier, and toys on the floor get pushed around (i do pick them up but my dog pulls them out again right away) sometimes it runs into things a bit hard, but usually it just gently bumps off and goes another way. I love that it vacuums and mops. It does take a little bit of maintenance, emptying the dirt and filling/emptying the water, but it comes with a cute little tool to brush the dirt out of the inside and to cut hairs wrapped around the roller. There weren’t any instructions on how to clean it so i had to poke at it a bit to realizing the top opens up for access to the dirt catcher. It does come with multiple mop pads so that you can wash one while you use the other.

By far, the best purchase made this year! Cleans much better than expected.

I have been searching, and I mean searching for the perfect vacuum since I moved out on my own and got a puppy. Spending hours researching, reading reviews and price comparing I finally found the Tikom. I was thrilled to find out that not only did it vacuum by itself but also mop this would be perfect for me and the price was unmatched. It was delivered quickly, came neatly packaged and in great condition. I hooked it up to charge and started reading the instructions but was so sad to see that this may be more of a hassle than a help in my day-to-day life. There is a section that says all the things that can not be on the floor when the Tikom is in motion, and dog toys (understandable) and barstools were both on that list. Unfortunately, I live in a smaller place so these take up most of the floor space. It seemed like I would have to spend just the same amount of time moving items around as it would sweep my place. When I move to a bigger home I will definitely repurchase and actually test out its power!

Ive had this for a couple weeks and it does a good job of vacuuming. Im always surprised at how much this little thing picks up when I go to dump the dust bin. I havent used the mop option yet.
