I am very pleasantly surprised by the abilities of this little device. I have two cats and mainly wanted a way to manage the cat hair on my floors. So far, the device has been pretty intuitive about navigating my furniture to sweep up all my floors. I was happy to see it's ability to recover from going over think wires or almost getting jammed under my computer chair.

If there's anything that's a little disappointing it's that it pushes things a little harder than I'd like. I don't necessarily want to pick everything up off my floor every time I run it, but knocks into some things a little too aggressively, like a little cat stand I have. It's not really that problematic though, I just wish that sensor was tweaked a bit.

I purchased this product for my small 1 story house. I have several indoor/outdoor cats, and high traffic about 1-2 times per week. The product worked great for the 1st few months, then the battery life seemed to get less and less. I also had several issues with connecting to the app, as it would frequently disconnect if I left the house and came back. Overall, I enjoy having someone else to vacuum for me, and I look forward to Wadsworth's replacement.

This is a great little robot vacuum. I've been debating for awhile on getting one and I'm really glad I did. This was a super deal and I'm impressed. It goes under the furniture (except the couch, of course) and even gets the dust from around the kitchen counter stools. We named him Pierre Lefant. I initially bought a different brand/model that was over $300 but never took it out of the box because I decided it was too expensive. Glad I got this one. Stop reading reviews and buy this one. It's great. One caveat. I have a router that won't let me switch to 2.4 GHz so I cannot use the app, which is frustrating. This is not the fault of the vacuum but I don't know that there's a workaround. So, I can only use it by just pushing the button and letting it do it's thing and can't use any of the special features. Someone wrote up more details about that - better than I am here so you might want to check out their review. Other than that, I'm happy with it.

LeFant has contacted me and have fixed the issues. Great customer service!
Back to 5 stars.

This started as a 5 star review.

UPDATE (again):
12/31/2021

This is literally 2 minutes after I published the last update.

I'm sitting here watching one of the vacuums. It chimed to go back to its dock. Here's the fun part, it was 2 FEET AWAY and it rolled off to the other end of the house. Really? Oh, it's bumping around the bathroom right now.

UPDATE:
12/31/2021

I've run both robots several times and I am not happy with either of them. Sure, they pick up a lot of junk, but their programming is way off.

1. Neither can find their charging docks. I'm watching them run the opposite direction of their docks when they were just a straight shot of about 10 feet away from them. Yes, they are starting their cleaning from their respective docks. They're going to the opposite end of the house and bumping against every wall all the way back when they do. Like they're running the perimeter of the rooms and hallway. Only one has gotten back once.

2. I'm watching them clean the same areas for over an hour. No obstacles are keeping them from moving on to another place. When they do figure their way out, they come back and start all over again. It's not just one specific area, it's a few different ones in the same room. In an open space.

3. I don't think the "Charge and Resume" function works. It is in the app. I saw it once and can't find it again. Charge and Resume is the reason why I bought not one, but two of these vacuums. I usually have to send them back through the app because they've gotten down to 10% power. I thought they were supposed to go back at 20%. It would be nice to be able to change that to 30-40% in the app.

I've reached out to LeFant and I got a copy/paste response telling me to clean my house before using the vacuums. I did. It's a new house and all that's there is furniture. It's all open concept with lots of open floor space.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I just bought two of these robots for my home. One for the main living area upstairs (Martha) and one for the basement apartment (Alice). The upstairs is all laminate flooring and the basement is a mix of laminate and area rugs. I wanted robots that had charge and resume functions without paying $400 for a Roomba. I haven't been able to test that yet.

This review is after their very first runs around the house.

I'm still working out the bugs and getting used to the programming in the app, but so far, all is well.

Martha surprised me with how powerful she is while traversing over a standard doorjamb (the kind used for exterior doors), by going into the 4 season room, and back out again. Picture a 4x4 rock climbing. She has no quit in her. It was quite comical watching her find her charging dock (that was how she ended up in the 4 season room in the first place). She finally met her match by going under the end table in the bedroom and getting caught on a power strip for nearly an hour while I was out.

Alice has been buzzing around the basement, eating everything in sight. She cleaned up wood shavings with ease. I had drilled a couple of cable holes in the ceilling earlier and left them for her to clean up. She's also very pushy. I had a couple of shopping bags with stuff in them and when I came back, they were moved to the middle of the floor. I think she was backing into them, getting out of a spot. She did wait til she was down to 10% to decide to go back to the charging base, but died trying to navigate out of the bathroom. I have to check to see if I can change it to 20% (I believe it's supposed to go at 20%).

Setting up and pairing to the Android app was easy. You need to make sure you are connected to the 2.4gHz signal from your router. I already had a seperate, differently named, access point set up because of other appliances needing it. But, I haven't been able to connect to Alexa. The reviews for the skill show that it's not only me but a problem wth the programming. Oh, well. I can do what I need from my phone.

I was confused when I saw that there was no map forming on the app until I saw in the LeFant FAQs that you need to set the robot on a course (rows, spiral, etc.) for it to map.

If I run into any issues, or have more good things to say, I'll update the review. If I remember, I'll update in a few months.

Great product! pick up dirt that I don't even see. I was reluctant at first. During the weekends we do a more detailed sweep of the apartment and found that we don't accumulate much dirt at all.

It does get stick on wires so make sure you tuck in your wires. Otherwise it's good. Batter last for 2 hours.
