Wyze Robot vacuum

Our new robot overlord has arrived, and we call her Bertha. Bertha was very easy to set up and runs very happily through our home. In all honesty, we're horrible house keepers. I get sick of cleaning, the 12 year old rebels against it, the husband cleans in spurts every few months and the quadrupeds (a dog and 2 cats) are utterly useless. As I work towards being a better house keeper and drag the family along I figured it would be nice to have little help. So I ordered Bertha. She helps me remember to straiten up and takes care of the sweeping for me. This is how she is taking over our lives and forcing us to be better at humaning. Stinking robotic overlord! In all seriousness here are some pros and cons Pros -really not that loud even on the standard setting -quite thorough (although I've really only had her work on hard floors) -easy to clean -works pretty quickly -good suction -mapped each room pretty well and avoided the basement stairs like a pro -her talking voice is nice and soothing as it lulls us into submission to do things like save her or tell us she's charging. Cons -natural enemy of stringy toys that might have been left around by creatures or kids -quick mapping is a little wonky-best to just let her map while working -if you accidently allow her into a place where you don't want her (like a child's bedroom) then close the door to block her from returning in the same clean it's kind of tricky to convince her to move along and ignore the death trap of a room Overall. Great product so far. I'll try to update when we've been serving our overlord for longer than a day or two. EDIT: well it's been a month now since our new robotic overlord has come to stay with us and it's going quite well. Bertha does a good job of vacuuming all of our hard floor spaces according to the schedule we set and sometimes when we just run her an extra time. The natural enemies of the robot vacuum are dropped face masks and charging cords. It's a little cumbersome to untangle these things from the vacuum bits but not so bad-and really we should pay more attention to them before Bertha is tangled. New Pros: Bertha fits under the beds and gets to those places that I would typically forget about. She also does her best to clean up stuffed animal fluff left behind by the dog. Con (ish): It was a little clunky to block off areas from her grasp and that led to her knocking out the wifi a couple of times Still would recommend this little machine to anyone. It is saving a lot of fights in the house over sweeping. Oh! And the dog is getting progressively less terrified of it even if the cats still run and hide when Bertha is running.

This was my first experience with a robot vacuum and I got to admit I was skeptical on the quality of the device, it's ability to "map" my cleaning area and properly and powerfully clean. But boy, was I amazed! The LIDAR used on this device to map your floorplan is amazing and a bit scary. You charge it up and set it on it's way to conduct its first vacuum and it will make a full scale model of your floor plan that shows up on the App used to control the device. All the walls, furniture, nooks and crannies, it sees them all. And if it doesnt see them the "bump sensors" will help it figure it out and navigate them. The cleaning and build quality on this device is fantastic as well - even on thick shag or higher pile carpeting, this little tank of a machine will make multiple attempts to traverse it and pick up all dirt in its path. What you'll find in the overkill HEPA filtered dust / dirt chamber will amaze you. It even picked up a wayward no-show sock the other day and kept on going. They've thought of everything, even including a handy duster brush with built in hair cutter to remove the stray hairs that may collect around the wheels and or dust bin. The machine and app very clearly tell and show you what the vacuum is doing at any given moment, so there's no guess work involved. Just make sure you have your house set up to allow the device as much access to the space you want cleaned as possible. And I love how you can select the room(s) you want cleaned. It's great to be able to "set it and forget it" while you go make food, take a shower, let the dog out, etc. It's a true time saver in the home. This is the second WYZE product I've purchased. They seem to make great products at very reasonable price points. Highly recommend.

I've never owned or used a robotic vacuum, so I don't know it compares to other vacuums. The Wyze vacuum was easy to set up (though you may have to get into your router settings and break out so you can see both your 2.4ghz and 5ghz channels). The app is easy to use, and provides all the information you need. Upon first cleaning, the robot uses it's Lidar sensor to map your entire house, which you can see in real-time on the app. The map is accurate, and the other sensors on the robot allow it to get into just about any space that it can fit. My home is mostly hard floors, with some rugs in the main living area. I don't intend to use the robot for the carpeted bedrooms, there is usually too many things on the floor, and a regular vacuum is likely needed to deep clean the high shag carpet in there. I vacuum regularly, but after the first run, the hopper was packed full. The edge brush got into the smallest spaces, and the suction power and main brush left nothing behind. You can watch the map on the app and see where the vacuum is and how its progress is going. After cleaning, the robot returns to its charging station, lines it up and docks with it easily. The biggest gripe I have about the whole thing is the charging dock is shaped so that it only is stable against a flat wall. If you have a moulding strip along the bottom of the wall, it will not work properly. I have to jam something behind the dock to keep it from being knocked over by the robot. I'll formulate a more elegant solution, but I wish they would have addressed it. The amazing mapping, great cleaning, and ability to set no-go zones and break up large rooms and areas into smaller ones makes this a great vacuum, especially for the money. I have more than a few Wyze products, some working better than others, but this thing is pretty cool. I understand that spot cleaning and Alexa integration will be added at some point.

I think this is a amazing vacuum Especially if your looking for you first vacuum . Works amazing I have a husky so during the summer he sheds like crazy and I have had no issues with this thing picking up his hair or anything else for that matter . I mostly have it on the lowest level for suction and haven’t found nothing it can’t clean up at that level . If there could be 2 things I wish it would do or could have it improvements on . It would be 1 and Wyze j hope you guys read these reviews so you know what to improve on it . But 1 if it’s possible give it the ability to notify the user when the dust bin is full . It’s not very big so it dosen’t take long for it to fill up . So that would be a great feature . 2 plz give this thing the ability to make different maps for different floors . That would be such an amazing feature . But over all this thing is awesome and if your looking for something just to start out or something on a budget then this is the way to go

Suelos duros los aspira bien. Se brinca una que otra piedra chiquita. Se atora fácilmente con cabellos, juguetes de mascotas, ropa o trapeadores. Los zapatos o botes los empuja. Se programa fácilmente. Vale la pena si necesitas aspirar más que solo polvo, en mi caso fue para el pelo de gato y funciona de maravilla.

This is our first robo vacuum and we are so impressed with it from the floor mapping, to the cleaning power, overall design and cleaning efficiency. I did some research and when I found out that Wyze made a robot vacuum that ticked off all my boxes I just stopped looking. I love Wyze products and the vacuum uses the same app that I have used for years with my other Wyze products. As far as cleaning goes we have multiple surfaces in the house including dark hardwood floors, ceramics and a number of area rugs. The vacuum worked superbly on all of them. I can select to do the entire floor or just one room. Software works great. The vacuum is a little noisy if it’s not set to quite but still very tolerable and a lot less noisy than any regular vacuum.

I hesitated on purchasing a robot vacuum as I’d heard mixed reviews and many complaints (poor suction, get stuck all the time) but when we moved with our dog to a new house with over 700 square feet of open concept space on the main floor, I did some research and decided on this Wyze. It’s been a game changer! Great value for the price. Pros -set up and mapping was super easy -you can set “no go” zones for areas that might have lots of obstacles -the app is easy to use and I can schedule cleans or turn it on from my phone. It also shows you exactly where the vacuum is and notifies you of it gets stuck or the battery is low -it’s not super loud, we use standard suction mode and it does a great job -it gets ALL the dog hair and everything else Cons -it does get stuck on cords and dog toys, so a quick tidy or setting no go zones is needed -it doesn’t self empty - we empty it every second vacuum -it takes about an hour to vacuum our main floor

I have been after a robot vacuum for years but they were just so bad and so many horror stories. I tried to arrange things so it would not get stuck (Cords mostly). I did not realize that on a mapping run that it doesnt vacuum so I went a little overboard. So dont worry about cat dishes or shoes it wont get caught up mapping. I expected what most people have to say about robot vacuums that do not replace a vacuum, I disagree. I have 3 cats 2 teenagers and they are all slobs. I was away for 3 weeks with the kids at home, you can imagine. This thing cleaned my laminate floors with ease including a small carpent 4x6 for shoes. I though it was quite impressive that I just had to mop. This floor had kitty litter that was tracked on it, no not the sand like stuff, the large stuff and nothing was left to be caught by mopping. The no go areas are perfect I used 1 for the cats food and water and 1 for behind the tv. I really don't see any negatives here. Do I think the Dyson does a better job for deep carpet cleaning, absolutely, You know what the Dyson doesnt do ? vacuum daily by itself so dirt doesnt build up. Lets be honest here, if i wanted to do it myself, I wouldnt have bought the robot. In my opinion Wyze has done an excellent job and I would advise anyone who is in the market to try this one, so much cheaper.
