UONI V980Plus Robot Vacuum Cleaner with Self-Emptying Dustbin - Lidar Navigation Robotic Vacuums Multi-Floor Mapping 2700Pa Strong Suction with No-Go Zones 190 Mins Runtime for Pet Hair

We’ve had this guy (his name is James - thanks Ruth Chew) since Amazon Prime Day and it really is the best purchase I’ve made since … ever?We have three dogs, one of which sheds a TON, so it was either vacuum constantly or live in filth. We have vinyl flooring on 1,800 sf first floor and it takes a couple of hours to run - you can set up a schedule so it automatically starts - we’ve got it set to run at 8:30 am.There are three levels of suction - so far only used the lowest level which works just fine. The roughly 2-hour cycle uses about 75% of the battery charge so upping the suction would probably deplete faster and it might need to recharge mid-cycle which would just take too long for me.The transfer from the small on-board dustbin to the large bin is LOUD as F but only lasts about 10 seconds.I’ve not used the remote b/c I use the app on my phone. Using the app you see your floor plan and where the vac and the base are. You can send him to certain areas, block off other areas (like a zero-entry shower or pet food area where it might be wet), see battery level, running time, and square meters covered. You can pause the cycle (like if your Great Dane suddenly poops in the middle of the kitchen while James is zipping around), send him back the base, change suction, see vacuuming history, etc.James also talks to you if he gets stuck on something or if there’s another error. Also when he goes back to dock to empty and begins charging cycle.The companion dustbin is great for us because of the amount of dog hair we have. You can set the vacuum to empty into the bin every 1,2,or 3 cycles - I set it to every day. I’ve replaced the vacuum bag once (wasn’t totally full - about 4 weeks of gunk).He’s got stuck twice, once when he ran over a phone charger cable left on the floor and another time he sucked up part of a dog toy. I’ve also had to get him belly up & manually empty the small on-board dustbin a few times and untangle long hairs from the rotating thingamajigs. Do I love this? No. But it’s def worth it because otherwise I’d have to do the vacuuming. Takes 3 or 4 mins, is easy to remove the bin or the roller brush and James is back in action.Haven’t used the water tank to wash floors because it looks to hold as much water as an espresso cup.All in all this thing is amazing - I love him! The only improvement would be if he had legs and could go up- and downstairs.❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

About a week in. Let's start out with I didn't want to spend the $ on a shark so I read and reread reviews. I have 3 dogs, a cat and 2 kids.The amount of pet hair this thing has picked up already is insane.- you can schedule when it runs, I love this. I included a screen shot of when mine runs. You can also determine when it empties itself, that part is loud so I don't do that at night. Seems to be working so far-people complained about the app. So far I have not had any issues with the app. It may be more simple than some but it does what I need it to. There is a maintenance log showing current state, I really like this.-the unit talks to you, so if there is a problem it tells you what the problem is. For example, on my second run the empty feature was not working. Robot told me the bag was full. I looked and everything seemed ok... Turns out it was so full it couldn't empty itself. I cleaned it out a bit and set it back on and hit self clean. Boom it worked, no problem.- the sensors are good. My kids use some food out tables sometimes and this will bounce around it and make it's way without knocking anything over.-it will eat your phone cord if you leave that laying across the floor .. kids *facepalm.-it finds it's way home no problem-it doesn't run over my dog is she doesn't move, it goes around her-noise level is about half to a third or what my stand up vacuum is-thr unit itself is a little taller than I thought it would be so it doesn't fit under the couch,this was a bummer. But my fault and not the unit-coverage is good, gets close to furniture and under kitchen cabinets, flows on and off carpet to hard wood seemlesslyWill update in a couple monthsLasted around 6 months. All of the bells and whistles still work except it doesn't suck. No vacuum at all. It starts and the motor works the brushes work. When it goes from hard floor to carpet it leaves big chunks of pet hair so the brushes are doing their job..just 0 suction. I have cleaned this thing as far as I can taking off the whole casing and found nothing causing the issue. Wish I could return it
