Awesome video! Congratulations! 🤝

lol the first 30 seconds most canadian accent ever haha... thanks for sharing!

This was super helpful thank you!!!!

Great video mate, very interesting 👍

Thanks for the nice video, Maybe a little constructive advice, buy an external microphone, that will improve the audio when you are away from the camera ;-) Keep up the good work (y)

Thanks for the video. You sounded exactly like me and shop very similar to mine.

I got one and think it’s far better. Than the original. The remote control feature is cool. The app however didn’t work because Amazon likes to sell used products so whoever had it prior changed the password. I reordered it somewhere else and returned it to Amazon. The green brush seems to work better on higher pile carpet and leaves stripes like my Walker Mower.

Thank you for the detailed review! You are still basically the only source of information for this machine on the internet a whole year later! I'm very much on the fence about purchasing this for my garage shop use. I noticed the app had an update 3 months ago at least for the iphone platform. Have you had any success with this most recent update? I don't personally need the app and am ok with just starting the robot manually but I am curious if the app provides firmware updates to the robot to improve its reliability? Does the robot handle fine dust from your woodworking tools without clogging the filters and losing all suction too quickly? I plan to use it exclusively for keeping the floors as dust-free as possible. Would you make this purchase again today after living with it for the last year?

I haven't tried the app again. The sensors have started to give me a hard time on our shiny-ish floor. I believe it's from the reflection. A version of this a little more robust- fewer sensors and more filter capacity would be better IMO. I believe they have launched a new one now I'm not sure if they've fixed any of this!

Congrats on being the first review of this I could find. It would be nice to know how it works in a garage environment. Will it scratch up my sports cars, for example? Is it good with wet leaves and pebbles dropped in by car tires?

If it was me, I would definitely add some foam tape onto the bumpers - it rams pretty well if the sensors are dusty... Small rocks should get... Anything bigger than a penny likely not. It works pretty awesome but has its limitations. I haven't used it for any wet leaves. Small dust and debris it's awesome.

Wet leaves ?? Really?

Thanks for doing this video! Did you ever get the app running and what do you think of this vacuum after a few weeks of use now? We have been looking at this for a long time for our Cnc shop but want to make sure we can get the mapping figured out in the app.

Hey! I never got the app to work, I will give it a go before we upload our couple-month review. I do believe you can set up the mapping with the remote still. We find it's still best to pick up most CNC debris with a shop vac and then allow the robot vac to do the shop and pick up whatever was trekked around! Cheers, Brad

Hello, we have an area of 15000 sqr meters. But we don't have rooms with open space. In this case, we will need to use more than one robot, then we will use temporary separators to do the mapping. But I am worried that since it is not a very smart device, when we remove the separators, will it work within those limits or will it move to the next area saying there is no wall? Can we draw boundaries like robot vacuum cleaners at home?

Great job with the video. I purchased a Roborock Q5+ for a retail store and it failed miserably. Hoping to find a more robust commerical solution. The Roborock failed me because of the LIDAR. Lidar doesn't work with mirrors and mirror/glass surfaces. It can even creates phantom rooms. I noticed that this comes with LiDAR also, Did you encounter any issues with it? I feel like buying it and trying it but returning it would be such a hassle.

No issues with the Lidar part for us. We notice the shiny part of our floors sometimes gives us issues with the cliff sensor. We don't have any mirrors or shiny surfaces around that the top sensor would see so I can't really comment on it for you.

Did you find cheaper perimeter tape?

U sbluld see when i get done with it when i have it clean the school i work at 😂 looks like a blanket on the filter

Great,just next time buy a mic too for better sound

How quiet is he?

It’s by no means loud. When he bumps into something aggressively it’s more loud then when it’s running. Little louder then my home Roomba if that makes sense! I have no problem working or maintaining conversation while he’s working.

Did you ever try the other type of brush they make for it, it’s green?

I have not

So Is the original green one better or does this have better suction?

I have never owned the original so I can’t compare!

It’s very large, would this be useful in a medium size home?

I don't think a home would be the best fit for this vac. I think it thrives in an industrial environment. I think it would do a good job, it is just quite large, and no docking station like a lot of the competition for homes so it would require a lot of daily hands-on.

Get a Roomba, you can actually repair them and they are built like tanks.

Any update on it? How’s the app? I hear multiple people not being able to connect.

Hey, the App is brutal. Un-usable from the few times I've tried. I just gave it another go last week.

Is the remote control mode a waste of time?

@FractalDesignsInc

In my opinion yes. For the time it takes to mess around picking something up manually controlling it I could have grabbed my shop vac and cleaned it up. For daily cleaning of minor messes and such it does do quite well. Gets around everything nice and tight which is great.

good household robot vacuum is like 500bucks meanwhile this costs 2300 bucks here. plus batteries

No base station for recharging and self emptying? No deal for me.

I am the 'wife'. I need to justify it to my 'husband' for the house.

I think the machine has too many buttons, lights and bs to be honest. What the average tradesman wants is a cheap and efficient machine. Press the button and work.. its a NO for me.
