Suction

New multi-level function!
Bought this last November, after six months, finally I’ll say I’m satisfied after the last firmware update and now it can do multi floors! Pros: great suction power; impressive maneuverability; does not fall off stair; easy-to-use app; long cleaning time; auto return to charge after cleaning or when running out of power; came with water tank and mopping pads; useful virtual wall and no-mopping zone; decent noise level; ability to schedule cleaning at different time for different rooms; spot cleaning function; auto change to turbo mode on carpet (needs to turn on the setting); newly added multi-floor map function with the latest firmware update (up to 3 maps); and very reasonably price compared to some expensive brands with similar functions! Cons: did not have multi-level function as advertised at beginning (this was finally fixed in the last firmware update (6 months after I bought it); the noise level isn’t as bad as my dyson animal, but I wouldn’t say it’s quiet (standard mode), you can hear conversations but need to speak up a little; doesn’t automatically steer away from carpet when mopping, you have to setup no-mopping zone (I feel if it can turn itself to turbo mode on carpet it should be able to detect carpet and avoid it when mopping, but I’m not an engineer); it used to get stuck on a lounge chair’s u-shape leg as it tried to climb over it, but it seems to have learned the lesson overtime, it has not stuck on it recent couple months; from time to time it will give internal error half way during a cleaning, took me a while but I finally figured out I need to wipe the sensor clean and detangle the hair on brush, so I guess it was a human error, but I wish it would give a little more information on how to solve the issue instead of only shows internal error; it does pick up a lot hair/fur on the carpet but not all of them (I have a dog that sheds a lot on a daily basis); the mopping function is useful, but it is not enough to clean dirty water stains; in order for multi-level function to work, you have to manually switch the map, I hope they can improve this so the robot can auto switch map after first time. Overall, I love my robot. For all the great functions it has, I’m willing to overlook the few shortcomings. Now I really just set the schedules and let it do its thing, except when I have to physically move it to another level
