Any issue or limitations?

Only really annoying thing is it tend to run over electric cords so I just have to make sure those aren’t strung all out before it runs. I have all tile in my house except the master bedroom and two “kids” rooms. It does really well cleaning the tile and changing over to the carpet. Only been g draw back is it doesn’t clean real well along my bottom cabinets in the kitchen as they have little insets it can’t fit into. I just get the Kirby out once a month with the hose attachment and give the house a good vacuum with that to get the places it misses. I run mine every other day but I have OCD about clean floors. I don’t want to feel anything when walking around barefooted. It takes about two hours for it run around my house then it has to recharge and run another 20 minutes or so. I love that if I am busy and want to run errands or go somewhere I can just hit clean when leaving the house. It does take about two weeks to learn the house and not get stuck all the time just make sure during these two weeks you have lights on or get enough sunlight in rooms.

Worth it!

If you keep things picked up, it’s great. If you leave shoes, socks, pillows, cords, etc on the floor then it’s a hassle.

We used one for a long time. Worked great. We bought some rugs and now it stalls out on them and says “error.”

We got one of the cheap Chinese knock offs from Amazon.

There's no way I will let it connect to my WiFi so I can't comment on app or remote control, but we didn't need that anyway since there are all sorts of barricades we need to set up for a robot vacuum and that means we'll always manually start it.

My wife is pretty happy with it and she's a list making control freak, so there's that.



The n79s has Alexa compatibility and it's cheaper right now.

One word of warning. Don’t ever let it run over dog poop or animal vomit, etc.

I really don't see why this would be any problem.

Meh. Like our cordless Dyson a lot better

Yes to this. Cleaning dog poop out of that thing is not fun!!@
