This robot vacuum is our first and I can hear it in the other room working right now! I looked at many different brands and price ranges but for $99 (with promotional coupon) this is well worth the investment. It’s not the fanciest but it does the job without breaking the bank. There was just no way I was going to spend >$500 for a part-time tool like this. It does what it’s supposed to do for about 70 minutes each day and manages the transition between hardwood and carpet just fine. This little helper is not the sharpest tool in the shed, and sometimes gets lost working away on our large floor plan. It sometimes gets stuck on the throw-rug tassels, sometimes pushes around the bowl of cat food, bumps it’s way around under the couch until I’m pretty sure it beckons me me “please come help”. It doesn’t move chairs but certainly tries. It sometimes can’t make it’s way all the way back to the charging station and I sense it may be slightly embarrassed when it runs out of juice just a few feet away from home. Like a puppy wanting to please it’s owner but not quite making it to the door, I gently lift up the vacuum and reassure it that it did a good job and that we will try again tomorrow. As I set it on it’s base station, it blinks happily at me with an eager willingness to try again tomorrow. The amount of dust and lint this thing picks up now has me concerned about where all of this grime is coming from every day. I think I need to change my lifestyle a bit. The Alexa commands work, I just prefer to use the schedule. For $99, Greenworks can’t be making a ton of money on this at all but I like to root for the underdog — it’s a good piece of hardware.

This is a very good robot vacuum, it cleans trash, dust, food scraps, and pet hair very well. My one issue with the vacuum is that it can’t find its way back on its own without my help. It was able to find its way 2 times, but I have used it a lot since then and it simply won’t remember where the charging dock is located. Other than that I recommend this helpful device for every day cleaning.

UPDATE: It worked 3 months now I keep getting error messages. Spoke with support and there is no new units in stock, nor is there a way to fix the one I have. Soooooo, I wait for him to call me back since its under warranty still. Not happy. PROS: I was surprised to find the vacuum goes under our sofa just fine. Everything works exactly as described. It did go way into other rooms but I had to help it get back to base. It warned me that hair was tangled in roller. Will use for a week and see how it goes before I buy extended warranty. It takes 5 hours to charge and I like it so much I bought another one with $50 off coupon. CONS: Not all commands work. You have to say Alexa turn vacuum ON and Alexa turn vacuum OFF for it to go back to dock. The commands on app are not correct. There is No way to create boundaries, such as around dog bowls or to keep out of a specific area. Mapping only works on SMART mode. I wish it made some sort of sound on the phone when it gets stuck in a room , otherwise you have no idea until you look at the app. I had the $50 off special pricing. So I was able to buy it under $100. It is definitely worth that price. Setup was easy for me as I already had a 2.4 mgh network set up for my Ring camera. I just connected it to that same network. Had 2 Greenworks for a few weeks now. I used them every day. Helps with having 4 dogs. I do not regret the purchases and I have purchased the extended warranty.

I was under the impression that this device would roam around my house and make a map so it knew what to clean. It does this but the area it cleans is small. You have to pick up the vacuum and place it where you want it to go. I have a 2500 s/ft house so i would need at least 3 of these to make progress. the suction is not all that great either. I put a few pieces of paper in front of it and it just moved it to the side (this was on a hard wood floor.) please be aware that this will not totally replace a manual vacuum or broom. i have used this device maybe 3 times since having it .
