'Better than sweeping every day.
Color: Black
This vacuum is… fine. It generally cleans well enough, but honestly, I kind of wish I had spent a few more dollars on a better model.
It does a decent job picking up dirt, and it’s definitely quieter than my old robot vacuum, which was loud but surprisingly effective. That old one was very basic — the kind you’d find at big box stores — and it just kept going until it bumped into something. Simple, but it got the job done.
By contrast, this one is supposed to be more advanced, with LIDAR and smarter navigation. But I’m not convinced the “upgrades” are actually improvements. It has this frustrating habit of turning right, hitting an obstacle, inching forward, then turning right again — over and over. What happened to the LIDAR? That feels less like smart mapping and more like stubborn programming.
It also gets stuck more often than my old Shark robot vacuum. And when it does get stuck, it’s more problematic. Instead of gently bumping into low objects and stopping, it tries to climb them and ends up wedged or tangled. It has even knocked over heavier items, which my older, simpler vacuum never did.
Another annoyance: if you try to help it by sweeping debris from corners into the center, it might kick crumbs away as it passes and may or may not actually circle back to clean them up. And there’s nothing more irritating than hearing “job complete” and then immediately stepping on kitty litter it somehow missed.
Overall, it’s quieter and it cleans okay — but the smarter features don’t necessarily make it better. Sometimes simple and reliable beats “advanced” and unpredictable.
