This vacuum maps out your house on its own. You can set zones for it to skip. The app is user friendly and easy to use. You can set a schedule for it to clean automatically. The Vacuum cleans up my dogs hair so easily Its really helped with my allergies because there isn't any dog hair around. The mopping function works well too. It really gets my floor clean. I highly recommend it for busy hoouseholds and houses with pets or small kids.
