I went to a friends house and her robot vacuum was working. She told me how great it was. She just retired from tech industry and if it were anybody else I would have dismissed it. We moved into a new home at the beach with our two dogs. We’re constantly bringing sand and other dirt in even though we have a no shoes policy inside our home. I was sick and tired of bringing out the mop and broom. I did some research and even though I didn’t want to spend the money (I bought this when it was $1599) I decided to go for it. When my husband found out that I ordered it, he flipped out. When roomba first came out, 15-20+ years ago, I bought one and we had a hard time setting it up and getting it to work. We have now had it for 7 weeks and we love it! So easy to set-up. The charging station was bigger than I anticipated and heavier—even without the water storage. The first time I used it, the hardest part was figuring out how to use the app. Customer service tried to be helpful but the language barrier was difficult to overcome. My husband and I watched some YouTube videos on it and those helped. On the app, there are ways to use quadrangles and lines to delineate where the robot should go. For me, this was the biggest hurdle to learn in order to max out our robot’s performance. We have large treads for our patio doors and we have a lot of them-about 60 linear feet. At first we watched the robot get stuck trying to vacuum them. Once I placed boundary lines where the treads were, cleaning improved. Other than that, the robot does a quick map of your home, including furniture. It does go around my dogs. When we first got it, we had work going on in some rooms, that we told it not to go into. After work was done, I removed the boundary lines and I didn’t even need to have it remap. It just went in and cleaned those rooms since it detected those rooms were there on its first mapping run. We have had towels, boxes, dog toys, and shoes on the floor when it runs and we haven’t had any issues with those. It hasn’t gotten any of our upholstered furniture wet or dirty and hasn’t dinged up any walls, doors, or furniture. We are still getting boxes and artwork delivered and I was nervous it would run into the art frames but we haven’t had any issues. We have tile and wood floors, museum-style baseboards. I haven’t done a white glove test yet but it seems to get under the baseboards. We usually run it at night before we go to bed and it’s been such a delight to wake up to clean floors. You can also change the suction of the robot. I just cleaned it for the first time and I was dreading it. I was planning on just taking it apart and wait for my husband to just do it for me. I didn’t have to. It was very easy to clean and quick. Probably took me less than 10 minutes. I found a lot of sand in the station and in the robot. It comes with a little brush. I think a tooth brush would work better for cleaning. I used scissors to cut out hair and other stuff that got tangled up in the vacuum and mop brushes. The manual says to clean it more often but it worked for 28 hours before I cleaned it for the first time. It takes about 2 hours to get 1000sq ft done. At first, I added cleaning fluid to the water tank but I found that it doesn’t really need it. Another thing I have bragged about has been the self cleaning feature. It cleans and dries the mop brushes on it’s own. I love it so much, I’m thinking of getting it for my sister who has 4 small kids to help make her life easier. My husband says this is one of the best purchases I’ve ever bought—up there with the Instant pot and air fryer toaster oven.

I’ve had this vacuum for a little over a month now. It’s pretty simple to set up and use. Does a decent job vacuuming my floors (all laminate/tile). Much quieter than my old Roomba! I was skeptical about the mopping at first because it didn’t seem to be laying down any water or only leaving a trail behind intermittently, but that seems to have cleared up after a couple weeks of regular use and now it does a great job. The dirty water is *disgusting* and smells terrible… so I’m glad that’s not on my floor any more!! We have multiple cats so it has to keep up with all their hair and litter boxes. I’ve definitely noticed a decrease in the amount of litter I find on my socks when walking barefoot and way fewer kitty hair tumbleweeds.It has more features than I really need/want (the camera stuff is cool but not necessary). I’m probably most impressed with its navigation capability. I’ve seen review videos where the robot will navigate around charging cables on the floor. Mine has sucked up a wand type cat toy with thick fabric instead of string, so I’m not sure how well it might do against cords in actuality. That said, Yiko navigates flawlessly around pretty much every obstacle that would cause my Roomba to get stuck, trapped, or jammed, with the exception of one threshold. I no longer worry about having to make sure my floor is spotless and there are no cat toys etc on the floor before I let the vacuum loose, which means I can let it run more frequently and, even better, when I’m not home to babysit it. The voice control is also very responsive most of the time even when the motor is running, and I like being able to divide my house into sections or to ask Yiko to clean around specific pieces of furniture (ie “Ok Yiko, clean around the litterboxes”). I do wish I could specify furniture pieces on the task scheduler, so that it would vacuum only around the litter boxes a couple times a day. Instead, I have to set it up to clean the whole room each box is in. The job still gets done, it just takes longer.In all, a good purchase!
