OK, so as many of you, I was looking for a Low Cost "IRobot" alternative for home cleaning. I have been struggling with Pet Hair, dirt and overall cleanliness since the whole pandemic stay at home issue and now, working from home and having a 12 yr old in the house and a dog, you an imagine the mess. So I looked around and with all those options available for robotic vacuums I was really struggling to decide on what to buy. In one hand you have established brands like I robot, Shark, etc, with their offerings, but as you know, just the name alone is something that will drive the price up and in the other hand, you have a lot of "generic" or not so recognized brands offering the same type of product. So after a long review evaluating here in amazon and on You Tube, I decided on this one. The price and features were in sync with what I was looking for, I was not looking for a super smart, wifi, tecno robot (price would be in the $250 - $350 easily) just one with the basics and remote control.Well let me tell you something, this thing, totally surpassed my expectations. This thing is AMAZING. It is so simple to handle, very sturdy, the remote functions couldn't be more easy to understand and use and the cleaning....MAN< THE CLEANING. This thing took my living room and in less than 30 minutes, left it close to spotless. I just did a test run, to understand the features and so on, but after seeing what it could do, it totally blew me away.The SOUND is something that I thought would be annoying after looking at a couple of videos, but the videos do not seem to reflect really the noise levels. I had the thing running in the living room while watching a movie in the TV. Not a problem. SOund levels are way below what I expected. I can say it is in par if not below what a tower fan would be. When the unit was cleaning below the sofa I WAS SITTING ON, I thought it had stopped working. It was that silent.The cleaning of the unit and disposing of the trash bin is great too. Very accessible, and sturdy, I don't see the dust bin breaking or failing anytime soon.The cleaning patterns are great, it seems random, but I reckon it has a couple of patterns to use once its on AUTO. It first gets the middle of the room, then it moves to the corners and I have to say, I have chairs, sofas, barstools and this thing got into all of it eventually. I have ran the automatic program cleaning 5 times and It has cleaned everywhere it fits in great detail. Of course you have to get those hard to reach places but overall, if you walk through it, it will get cleaned.With this said, and looking at the great way the unit is constructed, I believe it will be the sensors and electronics that will eventually have to pass the test of time. The unit has a lot of sensors, electronics to help it navigate obstacles, walls etc, and those things are sensitive. But if the unit is as greatly made in the outside and with all the mechanical parts as sturdy as they seem, I expect the electronics to be the same quality too.Overall for a first time buyer / user of such units, I am soo amazingly happy with the product. I have seen other robots from more established brands at my neighbors houses, and they are LOUDER and to be honest, for what they told me they cost, it seemed way overpriced.Im already thinking of buying one for my parents so they can use it and they are over 80 and I am 100% sure they will be able to use it with the remote. This is very simple to use1 yearUPDATE*** So one year later, the unit is going strong and just the same as it did right out the box. I use it about 2 times a week on AUTO. I clean the bin, brushes and filter every time before use and I have only changed the front brushes and filter to a new one, only once . I havent noticed any issues with runtime and battery life at all. It still cleans great throughout and works just fine. It always returns to its docking station, no matter where it is when battery runs low. Overall an amazing buy. I did purchased one for my parents and that one also still running great.AAA+++ Great Product
