You really can't go wrong with this robot vacuum.
It's a lot quieter than the Roomba, has a better system for defining rooms, areas and no go zones, not to mention it mops hardwood floors.
It does a great job of cleaning the house and does it in far less time than the Roomba 980 due to the LIDAR navigation. The AI does a pretty good job of identifying things like shoes and some cables but it's not fool proof yet so you're always best to make sure that there is nothing around it can get tangled on. It has a hard time with our fluffy rug in the lounge and pretty much avoids going over it which the Roomba also had problems.

There were a few issues during setup which boiled down to the unit not liking special characters in the wifi password (had to change my routers password to not include special charcters to connect properly. If you experience "slow connection" issues then this may be the cause).

Nice to install but not missing features like filter full or even dirt box full. Even with a full filter or dirt box it is still running through the house and spreading the dust and dirt Nice to install but not missing features like filter full or even dirt box full.

Very pleased with this smart equipment I bought on Queens Birthday Deal. One of the excellent Smart Vacuum Cleaner in the range which does both vacuuming as well as Mopping. Very easy to set up and it does its job effortlessly. Awesome product and best price. Very pleased with this smart equipment I bought on Queens Birthday Deal.

Upgraded to this new version and love it. Larger water container make mopping easier. Brilliant robot! Upgraded to this new version and love it. Larger water container make mopping easier. Brilliant robot!

Came from a $500 Smart vacuum that used bump technology.
The S6 is next level. Cleans exceptionally well. Features are brilliant.
Will not go back to a cheaper bump version. Came from a $500 Smart vacuum that used bump technology.

Got it on discount a few weeks ago and has been working non-stop.
Good:
- super easy to use thru the app
- easy to clean
- can see thru the cam, make it play sounds
- I have almost every floor w carpets and works great.

This vacuum cleaner is awesome, runs quiet, has great obstacle detection and excellent performance on hardwood and carpet floors, the convenience of having the floors vacuumed at the push of a button on my phone is life changing.
The app based mapping is really good too (a bit fiddly to do on a mobile screen but worth it), once set up the vacuum determines the optimal cleaning path and vacuums the space without continuously going over the same spot.
We tested the obstacle detection on some cat vomit which closely matched the colour of our hardwood flooring and it successfully avoided it.

We tested the obstacle detection on some cat vomit which closely matched the colour of our hardwood flooring and it successfully avoided it.
The only disappointment so far is that the vacuum has no way of telling when it's dust bin is full (apparently iRobot has the patent on this), this resulted in the vacuum pushing dust throughout the house when the bin filled up during its first pass. We have a dog and a cat in a 200sqm house so not everyone will have this issue, but to prevent this from happening, you either need to run the vacuum more often, or only vacuum sections of your house at a time.
Would recommend getting one that can empty itself, however without a bin level sensor you would still need to schedule when it goes and empties itself and until the S7 MaxV becomes available in NZ, the S6 MaxV has better obstacle avoidance than the S7 which is a more valuable feature to me.

This has been a hassle free instal and use product so far. It does a decent job of daily cleaning and this is with 2 cats in the household. It also cleans under the bed and the bin size is reasonable. This has been a hassle free instal and use product so far.

This robot works great, worth the price.
It creates a map of the floor of your house and it can be controlled to where it can go or not (invisible wall zone).
The map can be separated by rooms and schedules.
Also does work with black carpet, the other brand, Roomba iRobot, didn't work.
The mop feature is OK, needs to attach / detach when needed, differently of S7, but it's not a big deal.
The camera works great too, the robot can be controlled thru the phone as a remote controlled car, very good if it get stuck, you can check remotely why it stopped, or if you have kids at home, you can tell them thru the robot's speaker what it's doing.view more This robot works great, worth the price.

THis is a awesome product! really changed my life as my son has allergies and i have it prescheduled to vac twice a day, each time i empty im always suprised at the amount of dust it picks up (i mean we were out all day no one was home and there was still dust collected from carpet since the morning vac) i find it is noisy enough to wake me up at night (i accidentally scheduled 1am instead of 1pm) and my son from his afternoon nap - but i guess all vacuums are noisy - im marking it down 1 star only because the mopisland that great and you are only allowed to add water to the tank and ur supposed to spray your cleaning product on the floor...view more THis is a awesome product! really changed my life as my son has allergies and i have it prescheduled to vac twice a day, each time i empty im always suprised at the amount of dust it picks up (i mean we were out all day no one was home and there was still dust collected from carpet since the morning vac) i find it is noisy enough to wake me up at night (i accidentally scheduled 1am instead of 1pm) and my son from his afternoon nap - but i guess all vacuums are noisy - im marking it down 1 star only because the mopisland that great and you are only allowed to add water to the tank and ur supposed to spray your cleaning product on the floor but if you do that before you go to work it'll dry up before the robovac gets around to doing the mop - so still trying to work that one out

This robotic cleaner is fantastic. Just gets on and does the job. We have hard floors and rugs and this isn't a problem. I have a cleaner comes in every fortnight and I didn't think we were particularly messy people but even so this wee gem (that I've called Trevor the house elf) collects up quite a bit of dirt and fluff.
