Cons:
A few certain things that are not outright disadvantages, but they are worth considering.

- The first time I cleaned, didn't get the curtains off the floor - got tangled up. May not make friends with the wires on the floor either. Curtains are worth removing, thin wires, too.

- Does not clean itself after cleaning and does not know how to open/close doors.

Customer Reviews
Bought because of the wife's request. I didn³'t think it would do much, because it³'s small and it³'s my first time. But the result is really noticeable, always wiped clean, fresh, clean, in general, the family is happy.
It is worth buying especially when you have pets. Our dog constantly leaves behind hair on the floor, which in a couple of days accumulates into a real lump. Now, while I go for a walk with the dog, I turn on the app to clean and when I come home, everything is already cleaned. It is a very convenient function and it cleans quite well.
It takes five minutes to clean the robot. Rinse the cloth, change the water, and drain the dust and debris. The charge lasts for 3-4 cleanings, but it goes to recharge itself. For this money is fine, you can not find a better, and what could be better? Android with hands if only.
We have laminate and carpets. Fed up with cleaning all the time, we decided to buy it to save time. My wife is happy, it freed me up to do other things and to be clean all the time. The maintenance is minimal, at least it's much less time-consuming than cleaning the apartment myself. Took it at a discount, but as it is, not a very expensive price. On the plus side:
- Quickly cleans ( we have 40 squares, cleans in about half an hour);
- Doesn't make any noise, there are different modes;
- Clever, doesn't mess around with the little things.
And it is good-looking too, white, compact and stylish. A good battery; turned off the light and the charge wasted little. Disassembles easily, cleanable too. Normal variant, I recommend it, but take additional consumables at once.
