GOOVI Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo with Bagless Self Emptying Station, 18000Pa Suction LiDAR Navigation Robotic Cleaner, Perfet for Pet Hair, Carpet & Hard Floor

FYI - if you want it to map, you have to use the Tuya:Smart Life, Smart Living app which I looked up and could have security/privacy issues unless it is modified. I would have dropped a star had I not found a work around but will have to have my son set it up as it seems to technical for me to do on my own. It seems to roam about without the app and does know where the base station is to return to it. I was going to use this on my main floor but it is pretty noisy so I wll move it downstairs and let it sweep for me there. It did get causgt up on a couple things but if you use the app, you can add no go zones. After an hour of sweeping I really was surprised to see how much dust it had collected. We have construction near our house and it has been a real battle. One issue I am having though is long hair tangles the bristles pretty quick and actually tangled 2 of the side brushes together. I am sure this is the same for all robot vacuums though. The mopping part is still under investigation as to how effective it will be. I sure wish it would come with a couple spare side brush and mop pad, add $10 and give me some spare parts or at least give me a link to order them.

I always wanted a robot vacuum to clean automatically. This robot vacuum had all the features I wanted. Lidar for high accuracy, and a self emptying function with a base station. Note: I had no intention of using the mop function soI can't speak of it's effectiveness. This vacuum has a learning curve. The first time you use it, it will scan the entire house, meaning of will get stuck or have issues. You have to pause the vacuum, and add no go zones and borders to the room map ( pictures 4 and 5 ). I have a doorway with about a two inch drop and it fell into the room. I paused it, set the border and it was fine. The first time you run it, you will need to split the map into rooms and set any problem items ( like a fluffy area rug that it gets stuck on) as no go zones. Easy to do but expect 30 minutes or so of tweaking. Then you can set a schedule, and set timers for each room. I have it vacuum the kitchen three times a day. Pros: Four levels of suction Carpet area app toggle for extra suction Lidar mapping Drop detection Bump detection Base station self emptying Nice app with many features Make as many zones as you want each with a schedule Very fast Cons: Print in the manual is tiny and useless Print on the charger dock is tiny No locking mechanism for the dock vacuum canister so if it's ajar it can possibly spew dust everywhere Requires technical skills to set up in the app. Only one brush included Summary: this is incredible value for the money. Lidar is far superior to collision mapping alone. It has all the options you could hope for to program every nuance of your home. Recommended!
