Ideally I would vacuum at least once a day having small kids that are constantly snacking throughout the day but what I "should" do rarely happens lol especially with small kids. Being able to program a vacuum to run at night while we are sleeping has been amazing. It self empties so it's completely hands off. The app allows you to specify the areas to clean both mop and vacuum and how many passes to make. I love that it is completely hands free and everything can be done on the app. The app also keeps track of how full the bins are, when you need to perform maintenance, and when to order additional replacement parts. This robot vacuum has become an integral member of the family! We love it!! Highly recommend, especially if you live waking up to vacuum lines in your carpet
