   I do like this device, but it's not quite five stars. We'll start with the good. It picks up dog and cat hair quite well. I really like that I can sit with my phone and tell it to go do the living room, dining room, kitchen,etc. It claims that the collection bin will last for 2 months before emptying. Not going to happen when you have pets. It does a very nice job on vacuuming, and as you use it more and more, the amount of hair it needs to pick up is less and less. We've been using this one for about 5 weeks now. As far as coverage goes it doesn't pretty thorough job. And it's very good at working its way around obstructions. Once you get your house set up and your room's designated, it becomes quite simple to operate. But there are a few shortcomings. With a two story home it naturally can't get upstairs. So you have to carry it up. The amount of debris the unit it holds is very small. And pet hair builds up quickly. When the pet hair starts backing up into the intake chute, nothing else gets in. And then when it is brought back to the base, you will need to pull that out manually. But as I stated before, as you use it more and more often, you will get less and less pet hair. So it's inconvenient having to take it up to each individual upstairs room, but with that said, it still does a pretty good job. So the only part about it that is really subpar is the mopping function. And I'm really not that surprised, because it's just dragging a cloth across the floor with a mopping solution keeping it wet. If I purchase another unit for the upstairs, I will skip the mopping function and go with the lesser priced one that does not have that option. One other function that would be nice would be to have more manual control over areas of the house after the unit maps it out. Not that it doesn't do a good job, but I'd like to have more control after it's finished to modify some areas. The big question is basically would I buy it again? Yes, but most probably without the mopping function.
