Got this after sitting on fence about a robot vaccuum for fair while. The sale price, plus the fact it did both vaccuum and wet-mop, pushed me over edge to get it. Item shipped quickly. Was pretty easy to setup - although wifi pairing took me a couple of goes. Hindsight it turns out the wifi pairing is not really mandatory, just gives you more fun geeky features. I accidentally unpaired it from wifi last week and have not yet bothed re-pairing. It still works fine. - assuming it is sitting in your desired starting place, you just push the 'go' button and it goes around and around and cleans all rooms it has access to. Overall operation is not too loud at all, it just zooms around and does its thing. The 'algorithms' it uses seem to work well in terms of 'tracking edges' or 'following around legs on furniture to find the gap' and so forth. It does a good job of keeping track of "where it has cleaned" and "where it has not" and then fills in all the gaps / cleans all the floor nicely. If you want to clean different level of the house (ie, upstairs vs downstairs) you just carry it up stairs to the new desired start location, press "GO" and let it chug along. The 'stair/drop/edge detection' does work well and no drama there ever. It just notices when there is open-air in front of it and stops after front edge is about ~1 inch over the opening. Turns around and carries on cleaning. Its low profile allows it to clean under furniture I would not have expected (sofa, cofee table, dresser, etc). The vaccuum 'dust catcher' is easy enough to empty / clean out. It always seems to manage a full load even if I don't think the floors look particularly dirty. Putting it into 'mop mode' is simply a matter of - prepping the water tank module / pop out the 'vaccuum mode/dust catcher' module and then popping in ths 'water tank/mop mode module'. Pressing 'go' button and it knows 'ok, mop time mode'. And announces such via a little pre-recorded status message. When it is finished cleaning it just goes back to where it started / stops / and announces it is done. Very easy to use overall and it does a good job. If you enjoy the geeky features, the app on smartphone lets you see where it is / how much progress it has made with cleaning / and you can watch the 'floor map' as it fills in the gaps / cleans the area. The little 'sweeper brushes' seem to work well for encouraging capture of 'various little bits '. The wet-mop seems to do a good job. Clearly this is not a "Bucket full of water and big mop / rinse / mega mop cleaning' - it is a 'damp mop' with modest (~400ml) tank of water. (As per another review, I use ~10:1 diluted water-whiteVinegar solution and that works really well). But the hardwood floors look good when it is done. Most importantly, my wife is happy with how it works and she thinks it does a good job too. She noticed after the first time I ran it - right away - so that was a good vote of confidence. Anyhoo. All this to say, it seems to work well, is well made, solid build, and certainly it is a recommended purchase.
