> 3 dayI have had a couple of robot vacuums so far and at this point my Airrobo is leading the pack. So far what separates this one from the previous (lower end robot vacuums) is the app interface. I like that I can schedule (very flexible) schedule through the app. I have not used the remote that much, it at all as I had to in my previous robots. So the pros: 1. Does a great job - great suction. The trap is always filled to the rim 2. It is so quiet - I never know when it is running 3. Does not get stuck and tangled as much as my previous robots 4. Seems to always find its home base. No search party needed (so far) 5. Decent APP interface I do have a few issues with the product so far: 1. There are 3-4 path options you can select and it seems to only stay in one room. My previous robot would make it to many different areas. This needs improvement - needs to expand its path as it really keeps focusing on the same areas. Good for smaller places, but larger floor plan - limits what it can do. 2. Battery life. Does not seem to go more than 35-40 minutes. 3. There is voice notification. Might be me, but I seem to have a hard time understanding. 05.10.2023 UPDATE.. The vacuum has been wondering into more rooms lately, so perhaps it just needed sometime map its area.

> 3 dayHonestly it cleans really well. I’ve got a smaller place and it got the job done in less than a hour. The recommended suction works great but you could go higher. It’s a little loud but worth it for the price. Set schedules on the app which is super easy to navigate but if you don’t want the app just use the remote.

Greater than one weekI have tried 3 other similar vacuums from different companies. This is by far my favorite. Easy to use and gets the job done. Company was responsive to a filter crushed in transit. I would recommend this company and this product.

> 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.

Greater than one weekHonestly this thing is legit. Picks up solid amount of hair and surprisingly dust. I’ve had for a month to manage my dog’s fur. FYI, the bottom bristle usually ends up collecting a lot of her hair. Not a big deal since you can take every part out easily and clean it. It’s smart, cleans methodically. Takes itself home. No complaints. That being said, you will need to clean up after each use if there’s a lot of hair. But honestly that’s probably good and necessary for the machine anyways

> 3 dayIve been on the fence about these robo vacuums. The cost has really kept me away. I took a chance at one of the budget robot and have been totally blown away. Love this thing! The suction power is great. I program it to come out twice a week at night and when I change the bin at the end of the week Im always amazed how much dust it has collected. My place definitely feels cleaner. Battery life is ok and could be better, but really cant complain at this price. I dont leave reviews often, but this one just felt right. Im considering getting another one for my mother, I think shed get a kick out of it! Also, I put googly eyes on mine! I love it!

Greater than one weekI was looking for a vaccum with a higher suction power. Most of them are price $300+. For the price of $120, this is a cheap option and work great on dog hair. It is almost perfect. It is loud when it is on. Doesnt auto return to the charging station when battery ia low.

> 3 dayI use this everyday and I did not believe that stuff it picked up. I have 3 cats and a dog and now I run it everyday morning. This vacuum has become apart of my daily routine. Highly recommend.
