My first time purchase of a vacuum robot. I am pleased. It gets under my bed & couch, into the corners, and picks up debris efficiently. Yes, it's noisier than I expected, but no big deal....all vacuums are. Three area rugs on the hardwood floors seem to present no challenge. The suction is too much for the thinnest runner so I just roll it up before using the robot.. I'm techie challenged but the programming on my iphone went well. I still have to label "keep out zones", but otherwise the mapping was accurately done. It saves me the pain created from my arthritis trying to vacuum dragging my home vacuum around. I only use the regular vacuum about once a month mainly for any dust present. I could also handle the dust with a Swifter type method. I use the robot 2 or 3 times a week depending on how I feel about the dirt collection/crumbs etc. If I had to drag my vacuum around, I'd ignore the debris and painfully vacuum once a week! Love the clean floors in bare feet.
