I always wanted to try one of these robot hoovers out, since I found out they were out. I managed to get one of these out and I want to share what it is like to you guys. When you receive the item, you get plenty of accessories with the hoover and also I did read the manual as I wanted to make sure I knew how to use it before messing around with it. I placed the docking station on a safe place according to the manual and attached 2 aaa batteries to the remote which is included. I did then the hoover it self and placed it on the charging station to charge for a couple of hours. *Using it You can program the robot when to clean using the remote. You can set times each day when it can clean for example and it will still do it even If you were away. Once it was fully charged, I used the remote to start it up. I was really chuffed to see it clean my room pretty well actually. It was really smart on avoiding to hit walls, cabinets and other things in my room. It does a really good job on sucking in the dust however, don't expect it to suck all the hair stuck on the carpet. It did clean most spots that it was able to go to which was really impressive. Not once did it ever got stuck anywhere and when I told it to go home, it drove to the docking station to charge. Once you are done using it, just have a check If the on board bin is full and discard it and you will be impressed how much it has actually cleaned your room. On the top of the hoover, you can press the clean button for it to start cleaning and as mentioned, you can press the hatch to access the little bin box it has inside. *Do I have to watch it all the time? Not really however, It all depends on your home. For my room, it never got stuck and it did a really good job on cleaning it out and docked back to the station once It was done and the battery life is really good too. As mentioned, you can set times for it to clean and you got to watch out If you do have animals as they probably wouldn't like this. It does a really good job on avoiding falling in the stairs and even objects in the room. Even when it cleaned under my table, it was able to get out without any problems. *Is it loud? Not as much as a big hoover (obviously). It's cleaning power considering the size is really good. I can easily still do my work in my room while this is going on and I did not mind it at all. *Does it do a good job? Yes it does actually. Once I finished using it, I did check on the box inside the hoover to chuck out the dirt of the floor. It collected a lot of dust and I was really shocked that It was able to suck all of that considering it's size. I was really happy with the performance of this hoover on this test. *Is it made well? It has a mostly plastic construction however I do believe this is normal for all hoovers anyway and It is pretty durable to be honest. Even if it hits walls and objects, I am sure this hoover will last for years even If it is used for a lot. it has some good weight to it as well, so you can tell the motor and battery are top notch. Would I recommend one? YES!. It is such a brilliant thing to have and actually really useful For carpet or solid floors, it performs really well. It will do the odd clean and would keep your house mostly less dusty than If you just left it. It wouldn't replace the actual big hoover but it did a really good job in my room and it feels much cleaner than before For the price, it has loads of feature and is made really well, There is additional accessories when the ones you got for your hoover is out of use and you can just easily replace it with this. I am sure most people who get this will absolutely love it.

Great little unit when it worked for first few months, you wouldn’t have known I owned a large dog as my floor was so clean. The hoover now is completely useless. It charges fine and has been properly maintained. I had to get a new dust collector box as the catch snapped on the original one to which iLife sent out for free once they had confirmed my purchase. Once this was over it was back to the cleaning until the hoover just kept stopping a week or two later. Now the hoover just beeps and refuses to move. I found the iLife user manual and website pretty unhelpful as they could not advise on how to rectify the fault either other than suggesting I clean the hoover which I already did regularly as well as replacing the filter brushes etc every month. A real shame as this was a great little item initially but I would not recommend it after it breaking so quickly.

Bought this on a bit of a whim, "yeah, let's give one a try". Other reviews were pretty good, so worth a try. My verdict: - it's pretty good at the basics, pleasantly surprised me. Hard floors, low-pile carpets, it will pick up a decent amount of dust and fluff. - pet hair, it just can't handle, doesn't pick up much of it at all... then again, neither does my Dyson vac with its "pet hair turbo brush" so that's no sleight on this little beastie! - battery life isn't great, I reckon about 90 minutes working time in reality before it trundles back home for a rest - it is prone to sucking up any small cable, bag strap, etc on the floor and getting stuck; it does however stop and switch off when it realises it's stuck which is good - being low to the ground, it doesn't handle floor level changes (e.g. wood to higher carpet) terribly well and may get stuck between rooms - don't let it loose in a large area (e.g. the whole floor of the house), it will probably get lost somewhere and probably run out of battery before it gets home! I let it loose in one or two rooms at a time and close the door or put a plank across to limit its travels - the dust tank is ridiculously small, clearly meant for cleaning very clean floors! It's full after about 30 mins here and the robot doesn't detect that and stop, so it then spends the rest of its time dropping dust in little piles as it goes around. Conclusion - it's a great idea, works pretty well in very tame situations, but doesn't cope with the real world quite so well. A version with a few tweaks like a larger dust tank, better brushes to dislodge hair & fluff and stop when full, could be really good.

Es una maravilla, le he regalado una a cada uno de mis hijos Muy bien de precio y súper efectiva

I have a husky mix dog and a long hair cat. This vaccuum/mop is AMAZING! It works great! Super strong suction, huge capacity. Ive been using it for over a month and still havnet had to empty the vacuum bag! Mop works great too! I just wish that I could use a cleaner in the mop water. Battery life needs improvement. I have a 6 room house with a hallway. It can only vaccuum half of it before needing to recharge.

Hace excelente el trabajo, muy práctica que puedes tener varios mapas. Muy recomendable

I've been using the robot vacuum for two weeks and I'm amazed by it! I have long black hair that sheds a lot. Throughout my life, I've had to constantly vacuum and pick my hair off the floor by hand. I had considered a robot vacuum before but expected I'd have to regularly cut hair off the brush like I have to do with my regular vacuum. I recently went in search of a robot vacuum that sucked hair off the floor without having it get tangled in a brush and the iLife was my first choice. I thought because it was a budget-friendly vacuum that it wouldn't be this good, but I was wrong. What you get for the price is incredible! My floors has never been this bare; totally free of hair, dust, and crumbs! It catches everything! Even goes under my furniture, which I'm super lazy at cleaning. There are some cons, but I still give it 5 stars for its unexpected capability given the price. #1 Pro: It vacuums hard floors perfectly without your having to lift a finger. No more hair, dust, crumbs! Minor Cons: - The sensor could be improved. Remote is not sensitive. I.e. You have to be fairly close and pointing at the vacuum with the remote. Often have to press it a few times before the command is registered. -Also, presumably, a sensor problem: The vacuum struggles to "return home" when you press that button on the remote. Even if it registers the command, it'll wander aimlessly...even if it's right beside the dock to return home. I called iLife customer service about this and they said that there has to be at least 6 feet of free space in front of the dock. If you live in Toronto, in a 450 sq ft apartment, that's a difficult ask. The robot has to have a clear view of the dock because the sensor is not smart. I was told that it also won't find the home dock if there's a dark coloured rug in the way. I have a white and grey rug near the dock (2 feet away). CS said my rug shouldn't be a problem, but it is. I did a test by removing the rug and it was able to find home more often (although, still not always). This con is a very small one imo, so I just have to physically move the robot back to its dock when it's done. No biggie! -Hair does get caught in the sweepers and it'll stop and go into error mode when this happens. This is also a super small con because all you have to do is turn it over and pull them out of the sweepers, then restart it. Compared to using scissors to cut through a mountain of rolled up hair in a traditional vacuum, this is a miracle! -It does climb on my rugs (and this impressed me because I wasn't expecting it to), but it's not great on them. I knew this going in because the vacuum suction is not as powerful as you'd find on more expensive robot vacuums made for carpeted floors/rugs (I compared). I bought it specifically for hair on my hardwood, so if that's your purpose too, this does the perfectly! The pros trump all the cons. I 💯highly recommend this for anyone with long hair that sheds a lot!

I have had my robot friend, Simon, for a week. First impressions upon opening the box was an “Oooo Aahhh”. The directions said to let your new robot friend charge overnight before first use, but of course, I ran him around immediately to just see how he works! He worked for about ten minutes. I couldn’t figure out how to get him to his home (charging station), but it turns out, he can find his own way home just fine. I recommend that you do take a few minutes to read the directions and familiarize yourself with the remote. It took about 4 hours or so for Simon to fully charge, then I turned him loose. Let me just say, I thought my floors were clean, or, at least, pretty clean. As it turns out, they were not. They were not clean at all. Simon has picked up so much fur, dirt, dust, it’s unbelievable. My floors have literally never looked better! They are CLEAN. For real clean. I’ve always had a hard time cleaning under the bed, but now I don’t have to worry about it at all, because my robot friend takes care of it. I have all hardwood floors and tile. I also have a few throw rugs, some thick, some thin. Simon does a perfect job on the floors, and has no problems navigating over the throw rugs (though he might turn up a corner, but he will run back over it and still get it clean). I don’t think your robot friend would work very well if you have a lot of or mostly carpet. If you have hardwood or mostly hardwood, you will love your new robot friend. Simon mostly gets from room to room okay – the “up” entry points he cannot do on his own. For example, he cannot get over the hump into my kitchen, but he can get down the hump. He also cannot get over the hump to get in the bathrooms. This is actually fine for me, because I prefer to control when he goes into the kitchen anyway so that I can shake off the rugs and/or pick up the cat food and water bowls and any shoes or other things that might be on the floor. I just put a bar stool in his way to keep him from exiting the kitchen when it’s time for him to clean in the kitchen. Simon will clean for about 3 or 3.5 hours. He does not have a “plan” so to speak, not like a person would say go from corner to the center of the room, but he is still very thorough, and obviously, his plan is way better than mine since my floors are so much cleaner than they ever were when I was in charge. My advice is to just trust the process and let your robot friend find his way around on his own! Just make sure that you pick up any cords, especially small cords like phone charging cords, and shoe laces or the like, so that he doesn’t accidentally grab onto something he shouldn’t. Simon also has sensors so that when he comes to a piece of furniture or a wall, he will slow down so as to gently bump it before he turns off into a new direction. I have also noticed that if he comes into contact with a chair or table leg, he will often go in a circle all the way around the leg to clean around it. Once your robot friend is done doing your dirty work for you, he will go back home on his own. If your robot friend cannot find his way home, you may not have provided him enough space. Is that any way to treat your new best friend?? Make sure that he has several feet of clear space in front of his charging station, and that there are a few feet of clear space on the sides of the charging station as well. Also, make sure to empty out his dust bin after every use. One of the fortunate side effects of having my new robot friend, is the “give a mouse a cookie” effect it seems to have had. Give a person a clean floor, and the person may say oh, it looks so clean in here, let me pick up this shirt and put it away. The person then notices that the bathroom trash can is full; since the floors look so nice, the bathroom should be clean, too *cleans bathroom*, and so on. The only thing about my new robot friend, which isn’t enough to bother me at all, is that he is, well, he’s not super loud, but he’s not very quiet either. So, if you are watching tv, you may need to turn it up just a bit if you are running your robot friend while you’re at home. Well worth it for the service he provides, though. Overall, I do recommend this little robot. I am very pleased with this purchase. If you’re in the market for a robot floor cleaning wizard, don’t hesitate to click that Buy Now button.
