> 3 dayDecent vacuum but it does have some caveats. For the price, I didnt expect it to do too much. I saw a lot of reviews that complained about it not picking up stuff on carpet. This model is meant for hardwood flooring only and maybe an extremely flat rug but other than that its pretty basic. It has a suction port. No brush so it wont pick up anything from carpet. Its fine for my use as I only have carpet one room. It took around 30 minutes to set up because it couldnt connect to my wi-fi for whatever reason. I ended up having to completely reset it to get it to find my wi-fi. It worked fine after that. For my 790 sq ft home, the cleaning cycle took about 40 minutes. The areas it cleaned in those 40 minutes were the kitchen, dining room, living room, hallway and bathroom. It doesnt seem to go in any particular order. It kind of bounces around in a area until it feels like its cleaned the whole area then it moves to the next area. It picks up well but you have to make sure you have all cords, shoes, etc put away because the vacuum will suck those right up. It did get stuck a few times and it mostly was able to get itself out from the area it was stuck in. I had to rescue it twice so far. Once from underneath the couch and once under the lamp as it happened to jump up onto a pile of cords. It actually beeps a few times to tell you it needs to be rescued. Thats a pretty decent feature. One feature I do have an issue with is once its done with the cleaning cycle, it has a hard time finding its charging base. The instructions state that if you move the base during the cleaning cycle or start the robot from an area other than the charging station, the robot will have a hard time finding the base. I dont find this to be true because my robot has started every cleaning cycle from the base and when the cleaning cycle ends, the vacuum goes everywhere but to its based. Sometimes it takes it a while to get docked if it finishes in another room or sometimes even near by. It roams around lost for 10 minutes before docking itself or me self docking it. Im not sure what the trick is to get it to dock in its place every time. Other than that, for the price, its decent. Its a decent vacuum to have for in between cleaning. Most certainly its not a replacement for a full size vacuum.

> 3 dayAfter our Eufy robot vacuum tragically stopped working, I only lasted a few weeks before really needing a new vacuum again. I love my Golden Retriever, but man, does she shed, and because were too busy to constantly be running our upright vacuum every day, her hair quickly piles up. I was a little skeptical considering this vacuum was not from a brand I recognized and it was priced so cheaply (it was listed at $120 at the time of purchase, with additional coupons and discounts at check-out), but after reading the positive reviews, I decided to give it a chance. I have to say, Im overall very satisfied with the vacuums performance. Vic (the vacuum) does an amazing job picking up my dogs hair and all the other stuff from up off the ground. One of my favorite features about it is that it doesnt have a rolling brush - a huge problem I had with my previous robovac was having to constantly cut out the hair that got tangled and stuck in that brush. Not anymore. Vic is relatively quiet, and only very rarely gets stuck in a position he cant get out of - usually he gets out of just about everything. I love the hardwood mode for the vacuum that makes it go in straight lines across the floor - Ive found that this setting is the most effective for a good cleaning. Now, there is a lot of room for improvement with their app, which is why I gave the vacuum 4 stars instead of 5. The app feels counterintuitive and doesnt allow you to perform basic functions that you can do on the vacuum remote, like selecting the cleaning mode. TL;DR - If youre looking for a solid robot vacuum that is cheap, has good suction, charges quickly, and gets the job done AND if you dont mind using the vacuum remote as the app can be a pain, then this is a fantastic choice.

> 3 dayI was not sure how this would work on my house floors, because my house is not the norm,lots of angles and the rooms are not laid out the same as average homes. It took a little time to train it ;) and it was a little frustrating at first. However, I have used it to do whole area and also along the edge, and I am so happy for it does an awesome job. I have long hair, so I do have to cut some hair off the brushes after I use it ( cutter included). It also works great sucking up dog hair,the dirt he brings into the house,and does a pretty good job on the area rug in my living room,but works best on wooden or tile floors. I am happy with it and would recommend it to friends.

Greater than one weekSo to start off, it does pick up a good bit, but for some reason it only likes to stay in a couple rooms of my house. It does not clean parallel with my walls and leaves a little bit of stuff at the baseboards, dont know if its a calibration issue. It has some trouble getting onto my rug in the living room and its not a thick one. I do like it because it cleans a good bit of dog hair which I have plenty of. Its not meant to clean everything but it helps in between deep clean.

> 3 dayThis was my first vacuum like this. I have all hardwood floors and it works great!! Ive been using it well over a year and it hasnt disappointed. The replacement filters are cheap and last a lot longer than expected even with daily use. It handles 2 people and 2 cats just fine!

> 3 dayOrdered this K2 robot over Black Friday and it was a great purchase! We have all hardwood floors and three cats. Watching this robot work is fun and it does a good job. It doesn’t like candy wrappers or cords, but even then most of the time it is able to extricate itself. The filter really compacts all the things it picks up and, at our house, that means a lot of cat hair. I forgot to empty it after one cleaning and ran it again and it ran almost the full 100 minutes before I had to clean it out because it was too full. Very easy to use, fascinating to see it go around the house with no map, and then dock itself when it’s finished. It easily goes underneath our coffee table and the sensor brushes keep it from harming anything it touches. It also is able to sense stairs and has never had issues with our basement stairs. Highly recommend!

> 3 dayUpdated Update: After 6 months the robot is completely dead. It doesnt turn on and it doesnt charge. The charging base has power and all the sensors are clean, but when the robot is on the base it does not charge. Fortunately OKP has a 1 year warranty and Amazon told me to contact them for a repair or replacement. Great, right? Apparently not, because OKP decided to not respond to my help request at all. Amazon followed up with me to see if they had fixed the issue and I told them they hadnt. So Amazon has offered me a partial refund. So I send the broken robot back to Amazon, they give me a partial refund, and I am left with nothing and am out $40. OKP doesnt back their warranty, and you cant get a full refund or replacement from Amazon after 90 days. There are many other reputable robot companies, but this is not one of them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Update: After using this for a few months now, I kind of hate this little robot. Ill be honest, the company advertises that if you leave a 5 star review theyll send you a free gift (which is actually illegal to do according to the FTC, and against Amazon policy). But I did leave a 5 star review and sent it to OKP, but never received a gift from them. I suspect most of the 5 stars are because of this bribe theyre offering. Take them with a grain of salt, as I now know I should have done. Compared to my other robot vacuums, this one is the least effective. Its smaller, much lighter (the plastic housing feels thinner/cheaper), but also less powerful. It drives slower than my other robots and only lasts about 30 minutes, whereas my other robots will run for a couple of hours. It has different power settings and I keep it on the lowest power setting. If its on high then it wont last 30 minutes. I find this robot is best suited to cleaning one small room, but it definitely cant handle an entire floor or even one large room. Im using this one now in my small bedroom (10x11) and thats about all it can handle on one charge. I originally loved that it didnt have a brush roll, and thats why I bought it. Then I realized that I could just take out the brush rolls on my other robots and Id end up with a more powerful version of this little guy that just works better. The biggest problem is that if it stays on the charging dock for too long, then it stops charging but the battery slowly drains. I was trying to use it once a week, and every time I tried to start it, it was completely dead (while still on the charger). To get it to work I have to take it off the charger, place it back on to get it to start charging again and then wait a couple of hours to start running it. If I dont run the robot the same day it goes on the charger, it doesnt retain enough battery to run. Its not really a hands off system since I have to plan out when Im going to reset the charging and then time it out to come back to start the robot before it starts draining power again. Its incredibly frustrating. Do yourself a favor and buy a more expensive model that will just work whenever you need it to. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Original review: Just got this robot and so far Im pleased with it. Ive had 3 other vacuum robots by other brands. This robot is smallest but the dirt chamber is the biggest My favorite part is that there is no brush roll. On one hand theres no brush to scrape dust off the floor. I dont have any carpets so thats not a main concern for me. But I have pets and long hair and I spend every day pulling hair out of my other robots. I love not having to deal with that with the OKP.

> 3 dayFor the price compared to the name brand, it does a pretty darn good job. I only used it bedroom at first which is about 15x15. There are plenty of obstacles and stuff under the bed that Im not sure of anymore but its down there. So I unboxed the robot and it seemed to be pretty solid. I set up the app and then the sweeper. It was pretty simple process. I let it charge up for a few hours. At 80% I couldnt stand it anymore and I opened the app and fired it up. Away it went. It ran back and forth. Bumping and turning. Zigging and zapping. It disappeared under the bed. It was under there about 5 minutes and finally it resurfaced. It ran around for about 20 minutes and I was curious what the dust cup looked like. OMG let me tell you. 20 minutes and this thing picked up dirt I didnt know I had. The cup was completely packed! I emptied it and it was amazing to see what it had picked up. I docked it and let it finish charging. I setup my schedule to run everyday after I leave for work. It runs for about an hour until it needs charged. Some other reviewers have mentioned that it doesnt pick up very well. They are made for bare floor and low pile carpet. And I will say its a must to use the app. The default setting is medium suction. Crank that baby up. It should leave the factory on high. So overall Ill impressed. I have 2 cats where this thing sweeps. Im thinking about ordering another for the lower level where we have 2 dogs. Its worth it!

> 3 dayOverall a good product, but the direction/how to use the features in the app are lacking.
