OK, count me in as impressed with this Deebot N79s. Only had this thing about 10 days and it works great. I did my homework first to make sure this Deebot N79s would work in the house. Read it was 3.1 inches high so I measured my two couches and they were both at 2 inches. Ordered 2 sets of 2 inch risers and now they sit at 4 inches. My coffee table sits on a low pile carpet and was only about 3 inches. Quick trip to the store to buy a set of square rubber carpet pads and solves that table problem. Wrapping the cords up so they were not on the floor to solve the problem of getting caught in the brush, done. Now I buy the Deebot N79s for only $159 on Amazon during Prime days. Arrives and set it up just fine. Being a retired computer engineer and knowing the instructions said the unit works on the 2.4G SSID band only, I test it trying to connect it up with my iPhone connected to my 5G band. And yes, it did not work as expected. So I now switch the iPhone to the 2.4G band and it connects right up and works perfect. Now I can go back to my iPhone and switch back the 5G band and it works just fine, as expected. Yeah, it cleans great just like everyone says. We have 3 short hair cats and really never vacuum the entire place. All hardwood floors except for the 2 low pile rugs a 2’x3’ small and the coffee table one, about 3’x 6’. Both these rugs had fringe on them. I simply cut the fringe off of both. They actually look better and the fringe doesn’t trap the dirt anymore. We are running this every day and the dust bin is full, we can’t believe it. So after the 5th day I break out the Swiffer Wet Jet and I wet jet the entire wood floor under everything and all corners. “OK” I say to myself, now let’s see what it picks up. After the run, the dust bin is full again! So now I vacuum the two rugs with our upright vacuum and hardly get anything in its bin. Fire up the Deebot and again the dust bin is full! Where the heck is all this stuff coming from? It fits under all the furniture and coffee table as they were raised a bit. It just barely got stuck for the first time under one section of the kitchen cabinets. This section must have been 3 inches high from the floor ;-). A simple strip of soft ½ inch self adhesive foam insulation tape stuck under the section solves that problem and you can’t even see it. Now if the unit hits that spot again it will hit the foam tape and back away. Simple fix. All I do is pick up the garbage can from the floor, move the high kitchen chairs out from the island and fire up auto mode. It goes around the island fine, through the kitchen chairs and even the dining room chairs. I would suggest you run the bot around via the remote to all places you think is may get stuck at. Now you can fix those areas so is does not happen. The app on the phone works well and you can set different times of the day for each day of the week. Although it only runs AUTO mode, I wish I could schedule EDGE mode for at least one day a week. The charging station is against the wall. I have one foot clearance on each side and two foot clearance in the front as the IR shoots though the end of the dining room table with chairs. It has always made it back home with no issue. I bought 6 extra filters, 6 extra brushes and brush roller for about $24. The brushes came all bent out of shape but dipping them in hot water for about 4.2 second straightens them out just perfect. This will probably work for brushes that are all bent out of shape from use but still in good shape. Update: This unit works so good I just bought a 2nd one for the upstairs for only $80! $30 off coupon and used my Discover points!

Winky has been a great purchase so far (ordered on prime day 2018). She works with the remote, phone app, and Alexa just fine. With Alexa you can only give three directions- to start cleaning, stop cleaning, or return to the charger, so you’ll want to use the remote or app if you want any special settings such as spot clean or edge clean. Winky and Alexa and the phone app were easy to set up, and I like that you can set a cleaning schedule at a certain time of day. A word of caution- we let a young child play with the remote and that night Winky performed what we thought was an unauthorized cleaning at midnight! I checked the app on my phone and it said the only scheduled cleaning was at 10 am like I had set, but when I looked at the remote there was a different cleaning set for midnight. It was easy enough to undo on the remote and Winky has slept through the night ever since, but just a heads up that the app and remote do not sync with each other apparently. And it is easy to accidentally set a cleaning on the remote if a kid randomly pushes buttons. Winky is fairly quiet (you can easily talk or watch tv over her noise), but the middle of the night cleaning doesn’t work for us because she does loudly beep when she starts cleaning. If she gets stuck (which has only happened a few times), she will beep as well. The beeping woke us up so we decided ideally we will have her clean while we are at work. On auto clean she moves in a random pattern around the house. She will either avoid edges or bump into them and turn away from them, so if you want the edges of a room cleaned you have to do that separately using the app or remote. She does miss spots due to her random nature, but if you set her to clean daily I feel overall the floor is very nice because she’ll get spots one day that she missed a different day. The spot clean makes her go in ever widening circles and seems fairly effective. We have not needed to use the max suction yet- the regular setting seems to do quite well. We don’t have stairs, and she clears the transitions between our rooms just fine and one is fairly tall. Our flooring is mostly laminate, tile, and very thin carpet and thin rugs. We had two rugs with fringe that Winky destroyed, but after purchasing a couple cheap Winky friendly rugs there have been no issues. Our carpet is blue and our rugs are mostly shades of brown and she has no problems with them. I wasn’t sure if she could handle the bathroom rugs which were the common shag style so I replaced them with cheap memory foam rugs. I watched her carefully her first few cleanings so we could Winky proof our house (she does not deal well with cords, and can sometimes shove toys left on my daughter’s floor), but now I feel very good letting her clean whether we are home or not. She has been able to find her charger independently almost every cleaning, even when she was several rooms away. Our house is around 1500 sq feet and she tends to wander around for almost 2 hours a day. The way I see it, if she lasts at least a year (and there is a 1 year warranty), she will cost less than 50 cents a day. Our floors have never been cleaner. My only regret is I later found out this company makes one that also mops too.

I bought this against my wife's wishes. She said that we didn't need a robotic vacuum. However, we are both disabled and vacuuming the main level of our house was very tiring on her because of knee problems, and I have back problems. We received the Deebot N79S on the date that it was expected. I promptly opened the package, got the charger station set up, attached the brushes which was very easy to do, downloaded the app, and put the Deebot onto the charger to let it charge to reach full battery strength. I believe the battery might come already charged, but I left it on the charger for 4 hours. When I went to set up the Deebot onto my wifi Orbi system which creates one network name for my entire house, I was unable to connect it on that strong network. I believe this is because of the wifi's 5 Ghz system, and it will only set up on a 2.4 Ghz system. Fortunately, I have a wifi extender that is not part of Orbi that is still connected and I was able to connect my Deebot to that. The Deebot comes with a remote that you can use to get it going, so having the wifi set up is not as important, especially those with no internet. Setting the time on the remote was very easy and that was all that I did with that. It was late at night (I am a night owl), and I pressed the auto button on my Deebot and it started going to town. I watched as the Deebot as it went from area to area. I have hardwood floors, low pile carpet, carpet runners, and linoleum in the downstairs of my house, and the Deebot was able to handle them all. After the Deebot was finished it found itself back to the charging station to start recharging. I can say that Deebot performed very well. All of my carpeted areas were great looking and it cleaned the dust on my hardwoods. When I went to empty the collection bin, it was quite full. It was easy to open and to discard into my trashcan. Some of the spinner brushes had been warped out of shape in the process of maneuvering around objects. It comes with a spare set of brushes, but I left the current ones in because they were not terribly warped. I might change them out after my third vacuuming. I would highly advise that you get the accessory kit with the extra spinning brushes, the filters, and a spare brush roller. I have that on my order list to get this week. Overall, the Deebot works great!! I am giving it 4-stars because of the need to change the spinner brushes more often than you would expect. The spinner brushes are its one flaw. I would highly recommend the Deebot N79S to anyone who hates vacuuming and who does not have high pile, or shag carpets. If you found this review helpful, please click the YES icon. Just to note, I am an Amazon prime customer and I have not been compensated, nor have I been provided a free product in relation to this review. It is my own opinion on the product and may not reflect other's opinions. If after a few months use, and I find that the Deebot is not performing as spectacularly as it did during the first and second vacuuming. I will come back and update my review.

Before I delve into the real reason for my 1 star rating (the product didn't last), I wanted to mention that one of the reasons I chose this model was that it was advertised to work with Amazon Alexa. We never could get it working with her, and, as I recall, it had something to do with the type or speed of WiFi we have (some numbers I don't recall), so if that's a feature you're looking for on any type of robot vacuum, I suggest you carefully look into making sure it will be compatible with your specific type of WiFi. We don't have any special kind of WiFi or Internet - just one of the standard choices from Comcast - so I was surprised. Now, for why I cannot recommend this specific robot vacuum: I understand it may seem strange to give 5 stars for all of the individual categories, but a 1 star overall. The reason is that when it worked, it was great, but it only worked for about 14 months. Then, inexplicably, it just stopped, and it was just 2 months after our 1-year warranty period had ended. It would wander briefly away from the base, beep at us, flash red, and then we'd have to carry it back to the base even though it was fully charged. As a family of 5, with 3 kids under the age of 7 when we purchased the robot vacuum, I really thought a machine like this would simplify my life, but didn't have the budget for the more reputable brand. I throughly researched these items through customer reviews and consumer advocate magazines/websites, which lead me to choose this particular brand/item, so I was very disappointed when it proved to be unreliable. I did contact customer service to see if they would make an exception on the warranty, since it was so close to its expiration. While they were great at sending us timely troubleshooting tips to see if we could figure out the problem, it ended up being something that would cost almost as much to repair as to purchase a whole new one and they would not cover it because the warranty period was over. For an item at this price point, I wouldn't expect it to last forever, but definitely a few years. It's also important to note that we were very careful that our children weren't rough with it - we did NOT put the baby on it for rides like you see in many funny home videos. Something more to consider: After it died, I thought I would really miss being able to push a button and relax as my floors were vacuumed, but I ended up with a popular brand of cordless, folding stick vacuum for the same price, which I now prefer. I don't miss tripping over the vacuum and base on the floor (there are specific requirements for where you can put the base so your vacuum doesn't get "lost"/unable to find its way home, so it's not like you can just tuck it away in a corner). My biggest messes would be around and under the dining table because my kids are very messy eaters (we must say "hold over" 20 times per meal and there's still half their meal on their chair and floor and all over the table), and this type of vacuum was not great for that area because of all the chairs and table legs interfering with its path. The stick vacuum I got also easily disassembles into a hand vac, so I can get under the table and chairs easily with the full stick vacuum and then detach the hand vac to quickly clean off the chairs themselves (and sometimes I even vacuum the table before wiping it down). Another issue that might vary among brands and models is that after we lost power once in a storm, we discovered that when the power came back on, the robot would start itself back up and immediately start vacuuming. We discovered this one night when we were being awakened by a beeping sound in the middle of the night because we have very high marble transitions that it sometimes got stuck on - thankfully that was the only issue created by the self-starting. But, if you're like me and your floors aren't always "picked up" and free from miscellaneous children's toys or clothing (a sock here, a forgotten Barbie there), this could've been an even bigger problem when it turned itself on. We don't currently have a pet, but we've also seen horror stories of pets that have had an accident on the floor & then the vacuum has spread (or flung) it all over the house - this could very well happen if the power flickered off and on in the night or while no one was home. We learned we had to unplug it whenever we went away for the weekend or at night whenever there were storms in the forecast, which was kind of a pain. So, before you jump into the robot vacuum cleaner game, really think about what would truly work best for you and your family and whether a robot vacuum really is as convenient as it seems in the long run.

I bought this a couple weeks or so before xmas and it was swiftly delivered the day after xmas. Having gotten walloped by a flu, I've been responsibly huddled in my bed while responsibly feeling sorry for myself, and have been respectfully listening to my Asian girlfriend clean my house for me. She has an Asian woman's sense of cleanliness, amped up with an OCD toward cleanliness and turbo charged with a cosmic abhorrence toward cat hair. She's thorough. Having mostly conquered the pestilence within, I assembled "that moppy schlingy thing" (say that like an Asian woman), let it charge, downloaded the app, let it map the downstairs, and then I put it into its first clean/mop cycle. What got dumped into the dirty water tank (translation: what an OCD Asian cutness didn't clean off the floor) was gross. It was humbling (not for me, I'm a guy). Honestly, this little robot is thorough, it's quiet and it's freakishly good. The app seems pretty intuitive to use, and it allowed me to actually name the floor cleaner. (My buddy Greg said that "House Slave" is extremely insensitive, so I've named it Greg instead.) Looking at the map of my house what Greg cleans, I can see how accurate the map was - dining room, kitchen, The Dojo (aka powder room), main room, etc etc are all there, and you can watch the thing clean real-time on the app. Assembling and initially setup of Greg and the system was pretty easy - I really think it helps to have the app downloaded first. Really, all I did was install the robot's tray and then plug it in, and then put the cleaner into its nook to charge. The rest was the initial robot setup (date, time, region, cleaning preferences, etc). Actual Greg suggested that I add denture cleaner (those fizzy tablets that I buy my dad but go unused apparently) to cut down on the odor from the dirty water tank. As I've gone through two full cleaning cycles, I've yet to experience this, so I might use the tablets instead in my bath tub if I start to feel crappy again. Bottom line - well worth the buy so far. My floors, a combo of hardwood and carpets have never looked so good. I've got a persian rug that was getting kind of dusty (Asian girlfriend calls it gross and in need of the dump), but I think all it needed was a good vacuuming or two. I think a daily dose of Greg will do the trick, honestly. Setup was easy, the app is intuitive and the cleaning robots are thorough and quiet. I forgot quiet. No one has aver cleaned my house and been that quiet.

I've only had this unit for less than a week but I'm really loving it (it's name isn't Brad but Tobor for you SiFi move fans). I got it on sale for $199, hard to turn down considering I had major want bumps for the Dyson robot Vac which I don't even know is available in the US but at over $1000, considering I could buy five of these units, want bumps over. I do own two Dyson's; a Ball and the DC35. Both will still be used but less so thanks to this product. Setup was very easy in terms of the hardware and the iPhone application. The first time I tried this vac, I hadn't done a vacuuming with the Dyson for about 2 days. Note that our home is just under 2500 square feet, all tile with a number of low shag throw rugs. I charged the unit over night and let it go in auto mode. It moved all over the house in some random course and I let it run until the little guy ran out of battery. That was over 2 hours. I've enclosed a photo of the dust found; the unit was filled! Easy to clean up and I was pretty happy overall with the job done. But I don't believe the little guy covered every area of the house and I don't know it is fair to expect one unit to do so. Next I tried a different approah. Set the unit in Auto but shut some doors so it is forced to work in a room or two. For example, the master bedroom has a hallway leading to the master bath. On either side of this hallway is a walk in closet and the toilet area. All in all, I suspect 250 or so square feet. I closed the door leading to the rest of the house, set it on auto and gave it an hour to run. This was 2 days after the major house vac with the Dyson Ball. This worked VERY well and the unit was nearly full. Still having batery left (you can see how much on the iPhone app), I placed it into the Kitchen area and again closed off doors so the unit would only vac there and the 'breakfast nook' area. Did a great job there too. So I think this approach of 'spot cleaning' one or two rooms rather than hoping to do the entire house is a good one. I also am amazed how much the unit picked up after only 2 days from using the Dyson Ball. Fact is, the robot can get into areas the Dyson can't and to some degree, vise versa. I don't expect to use this product 100% instead of the other units but I think several times a week, I may set it loose in a room or two and then do a full on Vac with the Dyson Ball once a week after dusting/cleaning. I suffer from allergies and have three dogs so it isn't difficult to see how much each vacuums picks up after only a few days. After I ran the first test mentioned above (whole house on Auto), I used the Dyson Ball the next day after dusting and was surprised to see how little was picked up but then it was only a mater of maybe 12 hours between the two. Tobar has had only two, minor issues getting stuck. One was on a towel on the floor I didn't see. One of the dogs must have knocked it down. It beeped and it was easy to remove the towel. The unit is surprisingly quiet for a vac, the three dogs don't mind it at all. The new puppy (5 months) is fascinated with it. One time it found the puppy's 'pee-pee' pad I forgot to pick up. Again easy to remove and Tobar went off to finish it's job. No issues with carpets and some do have tassels. Does a very good job on carpet; you can see a pattern expected after a vac. Only minor 'issue' as some have reported, is having the unit find it's way home to charging base. Easy enough to pick up and park it for a charge. And now that I'm moving it manually to zoned off rooms, I have to pick it up and place it where I wish anyway. I either let it do the job until it runs out of battery or pick it up and return to home base. Two photo's; one after it's first use (two days after using Dyson Ball); loaded with dirt. 2nd is about 12 hours after using Dyson; not full but still a lot of dust and gunk picked up. Overall I couldn't be happier at this point with the product!

It works great, at least cleaning-wise, yet I had an issue with the accessories tray that won't open and had to return the whole behemoth for revision. They sent me the return label but yet, putting this thing back into the box is a chore. Now, the app is very complex and setting up the vacuum takes some time and a lot of patience. It has a logic, but you'll have to find it: it is not a straightforward process if you want it to do specific things, like, vacuuming on Mondays and moping on Tuesday... You can alway let the AI to choose whatever it think it should do but I'd rather have the robot going around when I decide and not when it does. In shorter words: it is a project, you need to constantly take some level of care with it (it gets disoriented every once in a while, it decides not to mop, so I have had to send it back to the station and start over the process...) the hand held vacuum is powerful and easy to use, and the fact it will empty itself into the base station was the main reason for me to choose this particular model. So in resume, it is a complex not very dependable machine, but it does everything very well, when operating normally. I compare it to a nice old classic car: you take care of it and it may concede you a few weekends of fun. (not guaranteed, though). Buy at your own expense and enjoy the ride.

One of the best purchases for the house, if not the only one, lol. This robot vacuum has been the best. When I got pregnant, my husband started looking for vacuums that would help make life easier while cleaning the house and found this one after a good research. I think we've had it for a year, and it's been a lifesaver and a life-changer. It cleans very well, is easy to clean, all its parts have lasted quite a while, and you can find generic replacement parts for cheaper, and they work perfectly. The app to put it to work is super easy to use and smart, the first day the vacuum will scan all your house and then divide them into rooms according to what it reads, but you can go later to edit how you want it to be divided, you can choose which vacuum or mop, or both, choose the levels from minimum to maximum cleaning, I super recommend it.
