> 3 dayWe bought this robot because after looking at the Shark self emptying, Lidar unit for $399, we found it to be to sophisticated for what we needed. Im sure the Shark does its job, but because we have two floors to clean, the mapping function of the smart bots doesnt work for us. It only maps one floor at a time, so I started looking at a simpler solution. I dont want to have a robot having to remap a floor everytime I want to carry it from one floor plan to another to clean. After doing some research, a simpler robot seemed to fit the bill, and I settled on the Airrobo. Glad I did. First and foremost, this thing really cleans well. Hard surfaces, carpets, it does a great job. I have had this for 3 weeks and have it set to run 3 times a week (via schedule on the easy to setup app) on a medium pile carpet in our 1/2 finished basement. Since we have three cats, I was pretty skeptical that this would be able to handle the hair. It handles the hair. And the dust, and the crumbs, and the debris. It does even better on hardwood and tile flooring. The large dust bin is easy to empty and to clean its two filters. Its easy to use, you can move it from floor to floor and just turn it on. Use the buttons on the robot, use the included remote, or use the downloadable app. It does its thing, and I think it does it well. And Its not very loud at all, even at its highest suction level (of 3 levels). What it doesnt do the best at is running its full cleaning routine. By that I mean that about 60 - 70% of the time, something happens that stops it from completing its full cleaning cycle. It gets stuck on something, it loses its wifi signal, it just stops and goes into standby. Most of the issues of it getting stuck are situational, meaning that for the most part, it does well. But by happenstance of furniture or rug placement, it can run into a situation that it cant maneuver out of. BUT, even so, I would still recommend this robot. Why? Because even with the above negative, it usually runs quite a long while and covers most of the area to be vacuumed, before any of the that happens. And when it stops, you just hit a button and it continues. No big deal. The positive of its great suction far outweighs the inconvenience of the negatives. Is its suction as good as a regular upright vacuum cleaner? No. But its pretty damn impressive for its size. Bottom line for me, is that it saves a ton of time doing a chore that I dislike enough that I dont do it enough. Set the timer on the app, let it do its thing. For the $99 Black Friday discount price, Im a happy customer. Id buy it again for $150. I will update on longevity as time goes by. Update 4/23/2023: I still give this robot a 4-star rating. The suction continues to be the star of this robot. It picks up a lot of hair, small to medium stray bits and crumbs and also very fine dust. All evidenced when you clean out the dust bin. Yes, you need to clean it out every time you run it, and once every four or five runs I thoroughly clean the small HEPA filter nested and sealed in the top of the dust tray. That takes about 30 seconds. Most of the issues I had listed in my initial review were issues due to MY having to learn what limitations the robot has. Example: I have an electric piano on a stand. The bottom legs of the stand are two horizontal tubes with plastic end caps. The size of these tubes is such that the robot could partially climb over them, and consequentially sometimes get stuck. Not always, but sometimes. Enough to be a bit of an annoyance. I had some high density foam from a couch cushion replacement project so I fashioned some bumpers for the outside edges of stand, and the bot no longer gets stuck. It cant get to the inside edges of the stand because I have a piano stool which prevents the bot from going directly under the stand. There is one other area that the bot does sometimes gets stuck and again that is a matter of circumstance, and I have fixed the issue to lessen the chance. It is pretty amazing to watch how this bot maneuvers around things! I can say that the percentage of time it completes its full cleaning cycle has flipped, and now completes the job probably 75 - 85% of the time. There is one flaw that I have not found a solution for, other than disabling it. That is the schedule function on the app. For some reason, the bot would get stuck in the middle of a carpeted area for no reason after it initiated a scheduled vacuuming cycle. The error message was usually that the main brush was stuck. But I could never find that to be true. This happened often, so I deleted my schedules and just run it manually either when Im home or just leaving the house. You just push the start button and it goes, and for whatever reason, this issue NEVER happens when running it manually. The bot runs for about 1 hour and 15 minutes at full power, and since Ive have watched in on occasion, it really covers most of our half finished basement area that is carpeted with pile carpet. More than enough power to complete the area, usually more that once over (not necessarily every area). Its movement has pretty regular patterns but sometimes it decides to randomly stop a pattern and rove somewhere else. Thats ok by me since like I said, it seems to clean most areas. The edge clean, spiral clean and spot clean functions work very well. I have not noticed any degradation in battery life, being run 2 - 3 times per week. I must say I am impressed that AirRobo has actually sent two software updates via the app, although it doesnt detail what the updates are. All in all, Im am very happy with the products performance. It has made my life easier, and that is the point of owing such a machine. I want to see how long it lasts before dying, otherwise I would buy another right now for the upstairs part of the house.

> 3 dayAfter we got our AirRobo I immediately fell in love! I named our Robo Frida. She speaks to me and announces things like The dust bin is not installed Starting to clean and Returning to dock Frida is my only daughter that does chores and she is my favorite. Frida does an excellent job cleaning; shes extremely thorough and helps wrangle 5 dogs shedding fur. She goes easily from carpet to hardwood floors. Shes very easy to maintain and we cant wait to get another one. I would 100% recommend.

> 3 dayMy grandma has mobility issues and this was very helpful. I did have to help her set it up because theres an app but once I set it up she is able to use it without assistance. Would buy again.

Greater than one weekI had a different robot vac that was alright, but this one was cheaper but had SIGNIFICANTLY more features. My only problem with it is that it gets stuck on my shag carpet, but thats probably expected of the vast majority of robot vacs. Everything else about it is fantastic.

> 3 dayI bought the AirROBO vacuum for my mother in law who has absolutely loved it. She even takes it to visit her father to help clean up with minimal personal time required. Its a really helpful device, although I dont have a good basis for comparison with similar technology. Some qualms she had were that the vacuum couldnt seem to find its little home charger and the voice wasnt entirely a positive feature. That being said she was incredibly impressed that it could work just fine in a bathroom with multiple mats without any incidents of it sucking them up or getting stuck. Five stars!

> 3 dayI am in love with this product. It does deliver all functions a pricier version would deliver, and you actually see results every day. I guess the only thing that is a let-down, but only sometimes, is that it is kind of dumb when it comes to returning to the station to charge. Sometimes it gets there, sometimes it gets so lost(!!), and then battery dies. And Ive also tested it, its not because I lift it or move it manually, it has no rhyme or reason. I think other products would have the same issues though. I hope the technology evolves in the next versions, and I would happily buy this one again!
