[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It came in a reasonable amount of time. Works reasonably well. Interfaces well with my phone. The only thing about this is it needs to be on a 2.4 setting. It mapped out the floors well. This is my first one so don't really have any thing to compare it to. Much easier to use than I expected. I have mostly hard floors as one thick area rug I am still taking a old style vacuum to as it does not get all the cat hair that is in it. Overall very happy with the purchase.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] My kids just clean out our bot instead of sweeping the house much easier,dust control went from a 10 to a 3 thanks
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had the Deebot for several weeks and it is great. It replaced a Neato and seems to be better overall. The Neato was noiser and bumped into things more. I would recommend this vac. to anyone.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] We bought our Deebot 900 in December 2017. It does a good job cleaning but our house is 2700 sf so it can’t finish the cleaning on one charge. The Deebot has trouble finding the charging station although I’ve tried moving it to several different locations in our house. When I have to place it on the charging station it doesn’t finish cleaning after it is fully charged. I also find the periodically the app isn’t able to see the Deebot so I need to delete and reinstall the Deebot with the app.
My husband got this for me so that it would help lessen my load of things to do since having had my second child. It has been super helpful and has been very efficient at vacuuming up my dog hair and crumbs from my toddler. I love that you can use the app to select and area of the home that needs a little extra attention. The little hiccups that I have noticed with this is that it does not adjust well to being on a different floor. It does not like having its docking station moved. It does not like being under my pack and play, or having objects near/over top it while it is “restoring the map”. We have also noticed it has a little trouble with our coffee table because it can do under some parts buyback not others which confuses it.
Even with these little things it does make my life easier and we are looking to save up some money to get two more, one for each floor.
Oh, and it connects to our google home so we can just tell google to vacuum which my husband loves doing...
The map is not what I expected. It is being forgotten any time I send the vac back to base and it starts all over again. Sometimes it messes up the map while vacuuming and doesn’t know where the bade is any more. I am disappointed.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The mapping software is outstanding.....the unit has been error free.....easy to operate....effective at cleaning
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I bought this to replace an Arte iClebo vacuum which was less than two years old but quit working. This thing works so much better! Some of the best features are the virtual boundaries, brushless vac option (for pet hair), and mapping. My old vacuum would get stuck all the time but this one is much smarter and quieter. I can set boundaries in the app if there is an area that it's likely to get stuck (cables, low clearance items, etc.) and I don't have to clean the brush regularly like I did with my old vac. I highly recommend this to everyone!
