Short battery life, doesn't work on carpet
This thing is horrible. It just runs in circles over the same areas until you move it. It does not run in straight lines. The battery dies quickly. It stops with lights flashing and beeping, but there's no troubleshooting that I can find that matches the flashing and beeping pattern. The dirt tank is so small that you will be emptying it constantly. I have to disassemble the brushes at least three times during one cycle. IT DOES NOT WORK ON CARPET! I have low pile carpet in my living room and it gets stuck and starts beeping and flashing every time. I can only use this in two rooms, my dining room and my kitchen and both rooms have hard floors with no rugs or carpeting. This machine can not even handle those. Neither room is large. My dining room is only big enough to hold the 48&#34; table and 4 dining chairs that are in it and my kitchen isn't even six feet wide. I have to move the chairs out of the room so that the vacuum will go under the table otherwise it just keeps banging into the same chair. The vacuum ignores the invisible wall that came with it; it goes into the living room even though the invisible wall is there to stop it. It doesn't matter if I put fresh batteries or if there are old batteries in the invisible wall. Yes, I have it facing the right way. Yes, I have dogs. However, I have to go through the two rooms and pick up any large pieces of dog hair and all pieces of dog food before I can run the vacuum. The app is a joke. It offers the ability to set a schedule so that the vacuum will run automatically, but that doesn't work. I set it up to run at 12:00 PM everyday, but it only worked once. You're supposed to be able to start and dock the vacuum with the app, but those features don't work, either. Honestly, it's faster if I just do the floors myself than if I let this thing run. I am so sorry I wasted my hard earned money on this vacuum. There were so many other things I could have done with it, but I thought it would save me time while I chased my toddler around the house. I was very wrong! Unfortunately, I can not return this because I missed the return window by one day. That's my own fault, but the fact that this is an AWFUL VACUUM is solely on Hoover!
