the N79S was smarter overall the M88 bumped into more furniture and took longer to get out from under my dining room table and chairs. The N79s navigated everything much better so did the D83 I had. M88 not so good. also my M88 never finds the charger and rarely finds the other rooms.
The wife wanted wood floors and I wanted to keep the carpet because I did not want to sweep everyday. The wife won and I put down the wood floors and found out that it was worst then I thought keeping the floors clean. I found out that it was faster if I used my shop vac so that’s what I used until I found the DEEBOT M88! It has changed my life!!! Everyday all I have to so is hit the auto button on the remote or on my phone and even on the bot itself it will go to work. I am still working on my home painting now and the bot keeps everything clean. I didn’t think that the DEEBOT would work because it was not the big enough, but boy was I wrong. I do all the vac cleaning in the house now which is 1810 ft and it has never been so easy. All I have to do is empty the the DEEBOT once a week and wipe it off and it’s ready to go. You learn may things but the biggest is to make sure you pick up things that would get tangled in the bot just like a reg vacuum cleaner. You guys have a great product and I’m loving it. I seen the M95 and think I will be getting that one because of the mapping program it has. My sister and sister n law got this one.
I like my robotic vacuum. I was surprised that it sweeps and mops which is very convenient. I don’t have to worry anymore about my floor and I can make more time to take care of my other responsibilities. The only thing I wish it had was a bigger container to hold the dust and dirt. Other than that I am pleased.
This is now my second DEEBOT the M88, does everything as advertised, and outperforms all other remote floor cleaning product. Simple set up, holds a charge, scheduling is easy, app functionality is easy, wifi connect is simple. Does a good job on hardwood and area rugs. Recommend over other products I have used.
I bought this unit a month ago and I am so sorry that I did..compared to the Neato, my other unit, this one is awful..
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bought this a few months ago. It vacuums well. I have not try the mop feature yet. It is great that I am able to add the control to Amazon Echo to control when it starts and stop. When it accidentally vacuum up a string or something that gets it tangled up, it knows to stop vacuuming and waits for you to resolve the blockage.
