Must have for mommas!!

Cinderella (as we named her) is magical! Total game changer in our house. I have a 3yr old and one about to crawl. There was no time to be a slave to our hardwood floors but I couldn't stand the dirt. I run her every night (scheduled at 6pm). While kids take baths she does her thing! My floors haven't been this clean in 3 years. Pros scheduling- so easy to set and it's one less thing I have to remeber every day edging- her little sweepers really get along baseboards and corners better than I expected Mopping!! Spot cleaning- you can press a button on the remote to pause her in one spot for a more thorough clean (great for mopping) Super easy to clean out the tanks and filters. Cons- My ONLY complaint so far is having to recharge in between vacuuming and mopping but for the price I'm not complaining. Of course the $500 models map the house too but honestly I was suprised how well she does without mapping. When you watch it looks like she's all over the place but when you stop micromanaging and let her run the full 2 hours the outcome is great.

We love this lil guy!

We love this vacuum! We named him Vinny! I turn him on just about every day when I’m getting ready for the day or doing stuff around the house and it makes it so easy to keep up on pet hair around the house. He is great for hardwood, tile, or carpet. He has a prett great battery life and will automatically re-dock to charge. The only downside is the dust compartment is pretty small so you have to empty it after every use. It’s super easy to empty and clean though.

So definitely a good addition if your pet tends to shed

This product is a self-sufficient device that will vacuum the floor! There’s 4 cleaning modes: auto clean (automatic cleaning of the floor), spot clean (deep cleaning on specific areas), edge clean (cleaning alongside wall sides), and scheduling clean (cleaning during specific time frames). The vacuum also has a new mode called “max mode” which is used to pick up pet furs, debris, and dirt. So definitely a good addition if your pet tends to shed. The battery life is also relatively long, around 2 hour. This robot has saved me a lot of time and energy used on previous manual methods of cleaning. Definitely worth the price and a good investment!

I just received this yesterday and I'm in love with my little floor cleaning robot

I just received this yesterday and I'm in love with my little floor cleaning robot! I have wood floor through out the house, tile in my foyer & bathrooms and laminate in my eat in kitchen. Today I vaccumed my foyer, living room, dining room & kitchen earlier in the day. I was really impressed. This little baby did a great job! At first I was a bit skeptical because the robot was moving randomly which made it look like it was going to miss corners and many other places.... well give the kid 30 minutes, walk away do your other stuff, come back, your floor is so incredibly clean! Later in the evening I put in the water tank, installed the mopping disc/cloth & send the kid to work. Again I was skeptical. The cloth was thin & flat. It stayed kind of dry at first. I actually wetted it before I let it clean more. BUT! It didn't stay dry. The water tank did a good job! And the cloth cleaned close to 800-900 sq ft perfectly. I have to confess, I'm terrible at housework. But now my floor is so so so clean, I can eat off of it! It's never been this clean without someone else doing the job! I know I'm not supposed to but another reviewer mentioned she put a bit of cleaner in the water tank.... well I did as well. And it worked out very well. But it was really watered down. And the mopping cloth cleaned up just like that when I hand washed it afterwards. I am very pleased with its sweeping/vacuuming/mopping prowess so far! The 2 little brushes out front really did the trick!! So far, I highly recommend it. I'll update this review if i found anything else (positive or negative) as I continue to use it. If I don't update, it'll be because it's working like a dream!

Shipped faster than expected..impressed so far

This is my first experience with these robot vaccum things. And i cam honestly say that after 1 day i will never be without one again. I have actually paid someome to clean my house...and the floors werent this clean. (Vacuum wise) I received it 3 weeks earlier amd was thrilled. Followed setup instructions as far as battery, charger placement etc. He has ran three times today..and i attached a picture of two runs. I had no idea my house was this dirty. Two teenagers, and man in construction, a dog, and a cat plus me. He is a little loud..but i think its been said before. Its like a kid..of hes quiet.(reminds me of a cat playing).you should probably go check on him. Hes very good at getting himself out of tight spots but will definitely get caught on curtains and cords. He has bumper sensors and you can see where he gets close and automatically slows (think gas pump slow when you get close to paid amount) to feel it out. I did notice that items have to be taller than a inch..maybe two or the sensors dont pick up. He is fearless and keeps trying to get up on spots he shouldnt (that are a little too high) and makes a big fuss about trying to the point i think hes going to hurt himself. Since he wanted to go so bad..put a small mat over the hump and he does fine..and even vacuums mat. Haven't used mopping yet..but will try that on my off day. We have black floors amd he does just fine

Best Cleaning Robot EVER!

=== Original Review Written May 10, 2016 === (An update can be found below) This is the best cleaning robot ever. I don't personally own a Roomba but have seen them work. This thing is almost identical, but at the fraction of the cost. This thing is definitely worth it! It vacuums and it mops (with some adjustments). This review is based off of non-carpeted flooring only! I have the robot vacuum work about once a day in my medium sized room and it will always have in its canister a bunch of hair and at least 2 2-3 inch in diameter dust bunnies. It tends to get wedged under arch type furniture (near the ground of course). The robot seems to be afraid of its charging base; it won't go near it (approximately 0.5-1 meters / 2-3 feet), which kinda sucks for me cause it fits perfectly under my desk with the charging base, but now he (yes it is a he!) won't clean under except when he leaves the base. All in all, his vacuuming skills are pretty good! He'll also return to his base with no problems unless he gets stuck on something. I had it mop today, and it behaves practically the same as vacuuming except it is much quieter and works kinda funny. You essentially fill up the water tank and (the instructions say only add water) I added a little Mr. Clean because it feels cleaner and smells better. It mops almost identically to how it vacuums. Other thoughts: - Dang good for about $140 (can easily find it for that price at other retailers if it isn't that much on Amazon). - Mops decently. The mop can also be taken off and thrown in the wash if you like it clean clean. Might need a steam mop to follow this puppy when he's done. - Vacuums like crazy! It's dang good. - He can push heavy objects. Probably up to 30-40 pound objects if he gets stuck or wedged in them. He got wedged under a portable AC and he moved it a good 2-4 inches to free himself. - Seems to vacuum for about 2-3 hours on max on a full charge. - I usually put the charging base on top of something once in a while so that he will vacuum everywhere, since he doesn't vacuum near the base. He will usually roam around for about 30-60 minutes when he's done vacuuming looking for the base, he will eventually find it no problem unless he gets stuck on something. - Never put the charging base near an intersection of a pathway, otherwise he will never cross it and be stuck in one quadrant while vacuuming. ===== Update: August 29, 2016 ===== (the last paragraph is a tl;dr) So, how has the ILIFE V5s working for me after about 3.5 months now. I have to say that it has its quirks (will talk about it below) when compared to a Roomba. Overall, I'd still rate the ILIFE V5s a 5/5. Why? - It cleans my floor regularly. Has worked predictably and reliably since the day I got it. - The replacement parts can be bought affordably from Amazon. (4 brushes, 2 filters, and 2 mop pads all for $14.99 at the time of this review). - It was much cheaper than a Roomba. I think the cheapest Roomba on sale can be bought at about $400 (at the time of this review). I picked the ILIFE V5s up from a Chinese e-retailer for about $140 (after shipping). - I can send the V5s to vacuum and forget it. Usually, before I leave my room, I set it and forget it. When I come back, 9/10 times I'll find it on the charging base. Usually it's user error that'll prevent him from getting back to the base (i.e., A cable is lying on the floor and he gets stuck on it, or I block the base with furniture). Some comments: - Navigation: I know some of my friends will say a Roomba navigates with intelligence (i.e., it can navigate your house and it kind of memorizes it), the V5s, seems to work with heuristics. That is, it tends to roam the room a little first, then clean the outside, roam, outside, roam etc. until the battery dies. It works effectively but if it is charged with cleaning a WHOLE floor, I think it might forget where its base is in a larger apartment / floor of a house. - Getting stuck: he only seems to get stuck on arch type furniture. He doesn't get stuck easily except with mopping (see next comment). If he gets stuck he often will stay there and attempt to free himself a little, but then just let his battery die after that, if you don't rescue him in the next few hours. He will also repeatedly attempt to enter his base, but if there is something off to the side that triggers his bumper while he tries to park he'll reverse and attempt to park in the base repeatedly. Sometimes he will attempt to correct by going to the left or right but most the time he will fail to navigate around the object and will eventually die trying to return to the base (reversing and trying to park until battery dies). - Mopping: it mops well and there isn't much to say about it. The only problem as the V5s ages when he mops is that his wheels seem to lose grip, so when he mops on a wet floor, he gets stuck much more easily than normal. For instance, if he has mopped the area and makes a second pass while the floor is still wet, he can get stuck on the wall because his wheels don't provide him with enough grip to hit the wall and activate his bumper; thereby, getting stuck on the wall (or furniture, or pretty much anything he hits gently). - Bumping things: he can hit objects quite hard if his proximity sensors don't pick it up. For example if he hits a chair at an angle (his proximity sensors appear to be at about the 11 and 1 o'clock positions if the 12 is the path he is traveling forward in), and the chair is at his 12, he will smack the chair leg with full force. While most furniture this won't matter but if you have delicate items or something heavy on a night stand that isn't against a wall when he hits it, it can knock over some things. This does pose as a potential risk but one will learn over time that the V5s can be left unattended (I don't recommend doing this till you stay nearby the first handful of times you send the V5s to work). tl;dr: I still love my V5s. I haven't had any battery problems or functioning problems. Most issues I lined out are usually human error and normal wear and tear of the item. Few quirks with getting him to work, but once you learn them the V5s is definitely worth the investment. I have seen other Chinese Roomba-like robots, and I have to say the V5s was definitely worth every penny. I've seen other Chinese Roomba-like robots go for about $100-120, and they are definitely not worth even half their price in headaches and how inefficient they are at vacuuming. So, I have to say despite the VERY MINOR quirks I've had with the V5s, it is definitely worth it for $140. I would highly recommend this item and would recommend anyone who is considering a cheaper alternative to the Roomba pick this up.

The brushes may look a little pathetic, but they manage to chase debris straight into ...

Works rather shockingly well. The brushes may look a little pathetic, but they manage to chase debris straight into the vacuum just fine, including spilled cat food along the edges of the wall. It makes it all the way through the house, including down the hallway leading to the bedrooms. With how random its movements appear, I'd have figured that it would have gotten turned around long before it made it back there, but instead I often find it vacuuming under the beds--a place that I simply never really get to when I'm vacuuming myself--as well as the bathrooms. As for the mopping feature though, I can't say as I'm overly impressed. It does fine in a smaller area--like if I block off the kitchen from the rest of the house and force it to only mop that room--but the lack of "virtual wall" to keep it off the carpeted areas makes it too much of a hassle to use. The mopping pad can become dirty quickly, and there is simply no way for the machine to "rinse" it, so it ends up just smearing a dirty cloth around after a while. It works okay if you're there and can stop the machine occasionally to rinse the pad yourself, but I personally prefer to just mop the floors myself. It's cleaner that way. Just as a vacuum though, this unit is great. And even the mop feature is acceptable for a small area. I have recommended this brand to friends and family who want a vacuum robot, but are aghast at the price of the Roomba. I have a friend who has one of those, and I can see absolutely no difference in the job that her $600+ Roomba does over my under $200 ILIFE.

Highly Recommend Overall

Hubby gifted this to me for Christmas (before Christmas--hahaha). I love it! We have all laminate hardwood floors, and I am OCD about keeping the floors clean with three cats and a puppy. I would sweep/mop several times per week, and I still felt the floor wasn't clean. I really love this robot (Rosie) overall and recommend it to friends and family especially with limited time or back/health issues, but see below for more detailed comments. Vacuuming: I feel this vacuums the floors perfectly; Rosie has all terrain wheels and can get out of most cases when it is caught. I have several floor transition strips, one about 1/2 inch high, and Rosie goes over it no problem. As you use it, you will learn where it gets stuck and how to solve it; Rosie finally motivated me to clean up the wire mess behind/underneath the TV console since she kept getting caught. I pick up my floor rugs because she does get stuck on them (they are not hard on the bottom, but they are washable rugs--really can't describe them much better). The only furniture it cannot go under is the couch which is low profile, but it gets under the beds, futons, entertainment centers, and cabinets. I thought I kept my floor pretty clean, but I've used it several times a week for the last three weeks and had to empty the bin in the middle of cleaning! Week 3 and I don't need to empty it as much. She picks up big pieces; the pattern she vacuums is random, but she does get the entire floor done. I have not used the spot or edging functions since she does those every time she runs. She runs for about 150 minutes (2.5 hours) when fully charged. One con is that there is no barrier function to this robot like with the Rumba--not a big deal, but it would be nice to keep her out of the kitchen when I am making dinner. Another *slight* con is that the scheduling function is very minimal--you can set it for one time and that's it. You can't schedule days or anything else. I have tried to cancel the scheduling function since I don't have a consistent time that works for me, but she wouldn't quit the schedule although I followed the website directions. I just turn her off when I don't want her to run. I don't do the bedrooms all the time so I close the doors to keep her in the main area (laundry room, kitchen, and living room on a one story). AS A PET OWNER DO NOT RUN THIS UNLESS YOU ARE AT HOME! If there is vomit or urine or feces, she will pick it up/spread it around the house! Mopping: I am still iffy on the mopping part. You can't use detergent to mop, only water, so I am not completely happy about that. I do still "hand mop" high traffic or very dirty areas like in the kitchen, in front of outside doors, and places puppy likes to mess (yay housetraining!). Otherwise, Rosie mops the rest of the house, and she does a decent job. She still does the random pattern when mopping but not a big deal. Even if I am not completely satisfied with the mopping portion, the vacuuming portion is spectacular so I am okay with it.

I Love This Machine!

I've been using this great little robot cleaner for nearly a year and couldn't live without it! We have two beagles that shed hair constantly and this machine does a great job of getting it all. I learned the hard way that it is very sensitive to any nearby electronic devices ( even our oven and washer/dryer interfered with it's charging). We thought we had the charging base in a good place and the vacuum worked for several months, then began going in circles and returning to its base. The company sent me a replacement at no cost, even though I should've been charged for the shipping, and when that unit began having the same issue, we moved the charging base to an unused bedroom and it has worked perfectly ever since. The issue must've been that the original location was within about ten-feet of the kitchen range and washer/dryer. It did stop working again recently, but a call to the service department cleared up that issue- the switch on the side had apparently been turned off when I was cleaning the vacuum. Customer service has been excellent and frankly, if this unit eventually quits working I will buy another- it's a lifesaver when it comes to keeping the hardwood and tile floors clean. We typically run it every other day and it does exactly what we need.
