I am really enjoying having a vacuum that I do not have to push pull or even worry about. The strips I've found are important especially gonna be in my house. We have a two step down into our den and it does need those to avoid that area however it picks up pet hair like a beast. Is very good at mapping and the app is super easy to use. Love that too. Overall this is a great addition to my house cleaning 'regimen'. Which is basically the easier the better and this is as easy as it gets. 10/10 highly recommend.
