I was a little surprised how difficult it was to find the app, but the item itself works great. It has two modes, max which has more suction and power behind it, and clean which is just the regular setting. You can set a weekly routine or start it whenever you'd like. It has a base that it goes back to in order to charge. It doesn't take long to do this. The battery lasted several hours and the bot picked up much more than I ever thought, considering I vacuum constantly. It even picked up all of the pet hair deep in my rugs. The dust tray is small and doesn't hold much, so try to pay attention if you have an especially hairy pet as you might have to empty it more than once a cycle.
