OWNERSHIP

Living with it.

Stable firmware platform; dock maintenance is primary reliability factor across 18+ month lifecycle.

Active firmware support with regular obstacle-detection and dock-circulation updates. Owner reports confirm stable performance when maintenance consistent. Dock failures preventable through weekly water checks and mineral-buildup prevention.

Safety notes

NoteCliff sensor safety: Multiple downward-facing cliff sensors prevent falls on stairs; not tested on sharp ramps or slopes.

NoteObstacle collision force: At max speed, robot can move lightweight items; clear delicate decorations from pathways.

CautionWater spillage risk: Overfilled or tilted dock water tanks can spill onto floor; use waterproof mat over carpet.

Common questions

What people actually ask.

6 answered
OperationCan it map and clean multiple floors automatically?
LiDAR stores separate maps for up to 4 floors. Selective floor mode lets users choose via app which level to clean. Robot does not physically climb stairs; users carry it between levels where it resumes from the saved map. Manufacturer documentation confirms multi-floor maps persist after power loss.
ComparisonHow long does battery last on carpet vs. hard floor?
Owner reports document 90-120 minutes on hard floors and 60-90 minutes on carpet due to increased motor load from pile friction. Dock provides automatic return when battery drops below 15%. Total coverage depends on room count and obstacle density.
OwnershipWhat maintenance does the dock require?
Weekly: refill clean and dirty water tanks, check dust cartridge. Bi-weekly: inspect dock water jet ports for mineral buildup. Monthly: run flush cycle and examine mop pad wear. Firmware notes indicate neglecting water lines reduces cleaning effectiveness within 4-6 weeks.
OperationHow effective is the mop on different floor types?
Dual rotating pads deliver light-to-medium cleaning on sealed hardwood and tile. Owner reports confirm inconsistent performance on textured or unsealed surfaces. Mop pads are consumables; typical replacement interval is 3-6 months depending on weekly runtime.
OperationDoes the AI obstacle avoidance prevent entanglement?
AI detection avoids common furniture and obstacles but is not foolproof. Owner reports document occasional entanglement with thin cables, loose rugs, or low-hanging fabric despite detection. Firmware updates improve accuracy incrementally.
CompatibilityCan it operate without the app or Wi-Fi?
Cloud connectivity is mandatory for app-based scheduling and remote monitoring. Manual IR remote control provides basic start/stop offline. No local fallback for advanced features or scheduling.
