Very Good but Unexpected Downside
This is my 3rd robot vacuum. My first was a Ecovacs bought on sale for under $200 about 3 years ago. I loved it but after 7 months, it stopped connecting to internet. Company sent replacement (after 10 calls to company). Second one did the exact same thing - 7 months in it stopped connecting to internet. Company sent a 3rd replacement (another 10 calls and a very unpleasant company person telling me that even if the 3rd replacement stops working they will not replace again). Again, it stopped at about 7 months. While the thing worked, it was great - enough power to get over kitchen/dinning room transition bump, good app that let me know how long it ran for each cleaning, easy to schedule cleanings (I usually have it set for twice a week while I'm at work), an a long enough battery that even though it was ping ponging around space, it would really clean everything.Decided to change brands. I researched for about a month and decided on an Eufy for about $220. I picked this one because it was thinner than the Ecovacs and had good reviews. One of the things I didn't like about the ecovacs (aside from the 7 month lifespan) was that 1 out of every 3 runs through house, it would get wedged under cabinets in kitchen because the very thin carpet runner was just a mm too high and if front wheel was on tile and back wheel was still on carpet near the cabinets, wedge city. The Eufy never got wedged but a huge problem was that it did not have the power to get over the divider bump between kitchen tile and hardwood floor in dinning room (bathroom was same issue). I pushed it into kitchen and bathroom for a year. I also did not like the app because it did not tell you how long it ran for each time. Battery life was good and house felt "vacuumed" when I got home from work (I blocked off kitchen/bath so it would not get stuck but that is not really the point of having a robot vacuum - I don't want to have to vacuum kitchen/bath when I get home).This time I really did my research and also decided to splurge. I bought the Roboroc Pure about 2 weeks ago. This one is not the random ping pong, but the mapping kind. Easy to set up and connect to internet. I really like that the app give lots of info such as how much battery is used, how long cleaning lasted for each run, and it was easy to schedule run times. It has gone through my house 4 times. Has enough power to get over kitchen/bath transition, is thin enough so it won't get wedged under cabinets (I even checked if one wheel is on carpet and one on tile and no wedge city). Really great suction so my all hardwood floor, 1000 sq ft house really, really feels vacuumed (except for 1 small area - see below). No dust balls in corners that got left behind. It runs around the perimeter first and then runs on lines through rest of space. It makes one pass through house and returns to dock.Here is the one thing I wish was different about this vacuum. With the ping pong robots, they need long battery life because they just go random around the space until the battery needs recharging and then it goes back to dock. They ran over same space multiple times in my house (not that big) so everything was really picked up. This robot runs through house once and then goes back to base even if battery still has life. The run time is about 45 minutes and it still has 70% battery left. I close doors to office and spare room because they are very small rooms with not much floor space to vacuum (too much furniture to make it worth it). I wish it would go back over house a second time or just keep going until battery is done. The four times it has run, I have noticed that it did not pick up everything on carpet runner in kitchen (thin carpet tiles from Flor). If the robot made a second pass through kitchen, I'm sure it would get everything. I was not expecting this feature in the mapping type of vacuum and not a single reviewer mentioned this feature (I watched a lot of reviews). I guess the solution is to just schedule more days to run but I do have to "vacuum proof" the house a bit before each run (pick up dog food/water bowls, pick up small rug in bathroom, put folding chair in kitchen up on counter and put small cube ottoman on couch). Or schedule multiple run times on same day which is what I will probably do.Other small issues to consider - 1 rotating brush up front on vacuum which does not pop off like other two vacs This makes it harder to clean out hair that gets tangled around that brush. Dust bin is a bit smaller than other two vacs. The first "map" of my house was very accurate but the second and third time it ran, the map did not represent all the spaces. I wanted to set it to run in just the kitchen but I did not turn on the map saving feature, so I'm not sure if I can schedule just one room. Have to experiment with that.So far, I really do like this vacuum. I won't ever use the mop feature so I can't say anything about that. It has good suction, it has enough power to go everywhere, does not get wedged anywhere, and my floors feel very clean when its done. I was worried about only one rotating brush on front of vacuum but so far, it seems like it really does it's job. Minus the one thing of not doing a second pass through house, I would recommend this vacuum. I know that it takes a few weeks to really get used to each vacuum and understand the quirks (which is why I know how to "vacuum proof" the house before leaving for work on days it will run). The four stars is for one pass through house, smaller dust bin, and no pop off rotating brush.

Buena aspiradora, mal mopping
La verdad, sin duda es el mejor regalo que me ha dado mi esposo. Ya quiero que me regale otra pues tenemos una casa de dos plantas, y cada que la bajo me da miedo que se me caiga o dañarla.Tenemos dos perritas de tamaño mediano-grande y tiran bastante pelo, pero la roborock lo recoge muy bien.Les daré una lista de los pros y cons:CONS:- El recipiente de la basura es chico y se tapa fácil. Cada que termino de limpiar una planta debo de limpiarlo antes de ponerme a limpiar la otra planta.- Midan súper bien sus camas, pues aun que pasa muy bien por debajo de la mayoría de los muebles, por dos de las camas de mi casa no, por lo que una vez a la semana debo de usar la escoba para aventar la basura (pelos de mis perritas) hacia afuera de la cama y que los recoja.- El mopping device, ese la verdad no es tan bueno, a penas tengo dos semanas con mi roborock pure, y sólo lo he puesto 2 veces. No se si es por el hecho de que recomiendan no ponerle quimicos, sólo agua, pero definitivamente si deja manchitas y pues, debo de terminar trapeando yo.- En cosas que son altas a veces se sube, pero se atora al bajar. Hago este comentario por que siempre se atora en la base del columpio de mi hija.- No es tan silenciosa como se publica.- Se van a necesitar repuestos. Aun no me toca uno, pero por lo que leí deberá de ser al menos una vez al año. Cuando haga estos reemplazos edito mi comentario a ver que tal.PROS:- Recoge toda basura que está a su paso.- Sus sensores son muy buenos, por lo que puedo poner a aspirar la casa en lo que yo trabajo, sin preocuparme de que se caiga por las escaleras (salvo la base del columpio).- La aplicación, aun que no supe guardar dos mapas por separado, después de dos o tres limpiezas, dejó grabadas las dos plantas de mi casa, sólo que lo marca como si fuera una sola parte de la casa. Cabe destacar que aquí las dos plantas se traslapan donde está su dock (sólo lo tengo en la planta alta, pero se marca en el centro y ya sea que limpie planta alta o baja, esa zona se marca de ambas.Honestamente sólo estoy esperando un buen descuento para compararme otro, ya sea la roborcok s6, o la roborock s6 pure.

A thing to have in your home
I want to start from saying that I was very skeptical in general to any robot after my bad experience with Rumba robot. After my son purchased Roborock 6 in January I was keeping my eye on his experience. I have to say that he is an IT guy and to impress him with any electronic toy is very difficult. BUT he was very pleased and even after almost 6 month his level of satisfaction didn't change and was very high. So I decided to jump.Delivery was fast and accurate. Condition of the box and it's content were perfect. I put the device to charge and noticed that a cable comes off very easy to the point that I had to monitor if it was charging or not. I sent an email to customer support and within minutes I received a reply with an explanation and further instructions. This fact by itself was surprisingly pleasant and comforting. The next hurdle was with connecting my robot with my wireless network and my phone. I have Pixel 3 phone and I didn't expect any issues but I was wrong. It took 3 days back and forth between installing applications, checking my network and failing to connect all things together. Robot had no problem to find and to connect but my phone refused to find a device. Eventually instead of Roborock application I installed Mi home application and all problems were solved. I got a high five from my robot and gave him OK to start cleaning. It's a very smart device. Just to watch it was a very cool experience. It was spinning in all directions, moving in some whimsical patterns and eventually a map of my house was learned. It never bumped into anything but was touching gently and moving in another direction. On a screen on my phone I could see the progress and read instruction manual at the same time. Manual printed in some faded ink and to read it was an efforts for my eyes. Today after a week living with this amazing creature I tested it not only on cleaning the floor but also mopping as well. Absolutely amazing results. I have tile/laminate floor all over the house and it feels clean to touch. At the end I receive a report about finishing the process and I can see a map that proves it. It's a very smart and complex thing and I have to learn other tricks that this robot can offer. I can name each room and tell a robot where to go and what to clean. How cool is that? I can restrict area from cleaning but I need to learn how to tell machine about it. I guess after awhile I will continue this review but at this point I can recommend it to any of my friends. Actually today I already did it while we were at the beach. I showed that a map and a moving robot while we were enjoying our sun. :)

Muy buen producto y de buena calidad
Para una limpieza diaria, mantiene los pisos limpios. El "trapeado" es ligero, no obstante logra la limpieza bastante pulcra. Esencialmente para pisos de madera, azulejo o terrazo. No apta para alfombras que no sean de pelo corto, pero fuera de eso, bastante buena. El trazado de mapas es excelente.

buen aparato
buen equipo, actua segue lo esperado, no es para una limpieza profunda, pero si para la limpieza diaria y sobre todo para levantar los pelos caninos, recomiendo tenerlo para uso diario y despreocuparse de la limpieza, en lo personal trato de quitar todos los obstáculos para una mejor limpieza
