Most owners agree this vacuum excels at daily upkeep, reliably sucking up pet hair, dust, and debris with methodical LiDAR navigation. The trade-off is that you’ll need to stay on top of brushroll maintenance and tolerate occasional app hiccups for the convenience of a self-emptying base.
Loved by buyers
- •Methodical LiDAR navigation cleans in neat rows instead of randomly bouncing, covering more floor with fewer missed patches.
- •Bagless self-emptying base with HEPA filtration traps allergens and holds weeks of pet hair without recurring bag costs.
- •Strong suction tackles embedded pet hair and tracked-in debris on both hard floors and low-to-medium carpet.
Buyer concerns
- •Multi-floor mapping requires a frustrating full remap each time you move the vacuum to a different level.
- •The self-emptying base is distractingly loud during its emptying cycle, making it hard to run at night or near living areas.
- •App and Wi-Fi connectivity can be unreliable, preventing scheduled runs or remote control for some owners.
