Customer Reviews

The robot vacuum cleaner caused me unreal delight, I read a lot of reviews, discussed the purchase with my family, but everyone tried to dissuade me (they thought it was a waste of money). But I still purchased the device and was very surprised by the quality of cleaning (with the fact that I have two small children, a dog and 3 cats). This is an unreal assistant, and where I had only been before, everyone doubted.

Good tool for dry and wet cleaning. The area is 24 square meters. The water tank is enough for 3 cleanings, at maximum water consumption. He easily crosses the threshold. The charge is enough for 3 times cleaning in a specially designated place.

It cleans everything, charges for a long time, easily overcomes the threshold of 3 centimeters and tries to get rid of the wires (if you forgot to remove it). The most important advantage is that it vacuums and washes at the same time and there is no need to rearrange the containers. Also, the vacuum cleaner itself goes to recharge, and then continues cleaning, which is very convenient.
