OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

Was skeptical because of the price point but this thing really works. I have twin 2y/o and a dog, plus a back injury so this was an important purchase.

I cant figure out how to get this vacuum to stay on track as it has a mind of its own. It seems to be patterned oriented and wont let you redirect it easily to a high traffic area. It will continually go over and over the same area. Its OK. It does have an easy to empty dirt bin and easy to clean filter.

TL;DR would recommend *on sale,* but dont expect perfection. Okay so lemme preface this that I am physically disabled, autistic, and have two thick haired cats. Before I got this machine I didnt even want to get out of bed when I had the energy or needed to, because the floor was dirty and it caused major sensory issues. The floor was dirty because I rarely had the energy to clean the house. This machine is not perfect by a long shot, but it has allowed me the ability to more comfortably move around my house when I have the energy. Pros: ~Cleans. It doesnt clean perfect, but my floors are a lot cleaner. They look and feel cleaner. ~Not loud. I cant vaccum, only sweep or mop due to sensory issues, but this doesnt bother me. I can be paying attention or have it as background noise and its fine. ~Actually collects pet hair. Like you cant even say that for some full size vaccums. ~Collects human hair. I have long hair, it collects it, and the stuff that does get tangled around the bristles is super easy to untangle. Cons: ~You still have to clean up after it. Like I dont have sensory issues walking barefoot now, but the floor still needs to be mopped, and there is dirt in the corners. Somewhat expected, but I was expecting a tad bit more? ~Gets trapped places. Got into my bathroom but messed up my floor towel doing so, and couldnt get themselves out. Also gets stuck in corners? ~Small container. I mean, again, expected, but its still a bit frustrating to have it run a cycle, fill up half way through, and keep running until the battery is out. ~Remote turns it on, but cant get it home. ~Actually only you can get it home. If it runs into furniture it gets lost going home and cant make it. You need to pick it up and point it with a direct path home. Thats probably the biggest issue. I do really like this. It was around 100 dollars. I wouldnt pay more than that, based on the fact I have to guide it home, but Im still happy my house is a significant bit cleaner.

This cleans my carpet very well and picks up a lot of dog hair. Its really good at turning away from places it cant access. Its also very easy to clean. I bought this as a replacement for a different brand I had for three years and this one is much better.

Works as well as the more expensive machines

I got this mainly for pet hair and it grabs it perfectly. The app is iffy so I hardly use it but aside for it I love to use it before I mop.

it does a good job of daily cleaning however isn’t as smart as it’s led on to be. the product claims to be able to map out your house after a few cleanings and after that be able to find its way back to the charging station on its own- which is just so loud and wrong. when this thing hits 15% prepare to be annoyed. i got this around the new year and i’m well into february, using it daily and this girl has never not needed help getting back to the charging station. ima stick beside her since i’m outside the return time but if you’re super busy and don’t have time to constantly assist the vacuum definitely go with something else, probably name brand. i don’t mind it bc i plan on moving into a two story home and will be buying the one i actually will love soon and this one can go on the floor of the house that i care least about. as i’m typing this the vacuum is trying to find its way to the charging station, going into my bedroom which is on the opposite side of the living room- where the charging station is …

Worked for about 3 months

I’ve had it for 2 weeks so far. Vacuum works well, picks up dust well. It was tricky to get the app going (had to use precise location) then it worked well.

Overall, I really like this vacuum. The adjustable speed allows me to run it at a lower suction on my hardwood floors, increasing the length of cleaning cycles. It has a great battery life, cleaning for nearly 2 hours on a single charge! And it is far cheaper than most other robot vacuums I looked at. Additionally, the app is super responsive. If you click a button in the OKP Life app, the robot vacuum responds nearly instantaneously. (I have not noticed a difference in response times when using the app vs the remote.) My only complaint is that it is REALLY bad at docking (returning to home). At the end of a cleaning cycle, I have literally seen it wander around for 30+ minutes looking for its docking station. Just today, I watched it try to dock for about 20 minutes. (I was folding laundry and decided to just watch it try and fail to return to the charging base.) Seemingly it requires a direct line of sight to the base in order to dock. Thats already annoying, but worse yet, when approaching from the side, it tries to swing out before docking. Today, I was running it on my third floor/story, with the docking station directly across from the stairwell. It repeatedly rammed itself into the banister as it approached the docking station due to that swing-out behavior. If it wasnt for the fact that it takes forever for the vacuum to find its way home, I would give this a 5/5. Alas, that is super inconvenient, so I have to drop a star.
