Purchased this a week ago with a recommendation from my sister and I got to say it does the job! I was skeptical at first,seeing, as I have been the brand name robotic vacuum user. This little vacuum is probably the best I have ever used. When it gets caught on something it powers itself down and figures it out. Gone are the days when you have to stop everything and run to unstick a talking vac. I purchased the remote and the only time I use it is when I want increase the suction. Pretty impressive for a vac that uses a ‘scraper not a roll.’ Nice vac, nice price and it came quickly in a sealed box. I will recommend, especially, since I live with a giant Labrador, a corgi and a old calico kitty- the pic is on day one after I just broom swept and dust mop.. I really love this little mighty little vac., for the price, I will probably put one on each floor of the house. I used on linoleum and area rugs. Love it!
