After using this for the past six weeks, I can't believe the difference in our home! The best part is that the vacuum empties itself after each clean — no messy emptying in the garbage can. With its smart technology, the robot maps my house and avoids obstacles. I can easily control it from my phone, which is one of my favorite features."
