I have wanted a robotic vacuum for a long time now, but I was not sure if it would work on the carpet that I have all through my house. I received it a couple days ago and was really excited to try it. It looked nice and was easy to assemble. Then after I charged it,- to my dismay, I realized that there wasn't a remote control and that I needed an app on a smartphone to use it (which I don't have), I'm so disappointed. Guess I will have to gift it to someone.
