MANVINS Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, App/Alexa with WiFi/Bluetooth, Self-Charging Mopping Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Set Schedule, Max Strong Suction Ideal for Pet Hair/Carpet/Hard Floor

Not my first robot Vacuum Mop, replacing another not so good one, but this is definately to cheap to use, let me tell you about my experience...I orderd this on the 11th, and happily received it on the 12 (+10 points for Amazon Prime!), plugged in the charger, added the appropriate sidebrushes and removed the bumper standoffs... was immediately concerned because I didn't see a pump in the water tank... but hey, I am always up for a new experience, perhaps these little "water plugs" are better.After letting it charge for several hours, I put it into my tile kitchen, which is right next to my carpetted livingroom, did my final little "this looks about right" and pushed the "Power/Start Cleaning" button. WHAM! the robot instantaneously starts its side brushes shooting the charging dock from its spot on the tile into my legs and out into the living room floor on it's side (-1 point for the human as a goalie, -10 points for the robot to be able to get back to the charging station in the future!). The robot does a 245 degree spin until it is pointed direcetly towards the livingroom carpet area and proceeds to dive towards that area. I watch in horror as it passes the magnetic barrier strips on the floor and starts to wet wash my carpets (AHHH NOOOO!). Seems in my haste to purchase a replacement I didn't verify that there was any barrier mechanisms (virtual wall/magnetic strips) built into the little friend and is completely at the mercy of physical barriers (-20 for the human, no change for the robot). I grab the little robot and pick him up off the floor; which brought the next major concern, it didn't stop and proceeded to spray me with water and try to scrub my fingers (-1 for the human, -5 for the robot). I quickly put him down back in the safety confines of the tiled kitchen pointing deeper into the dark recesses of my eating area, just to watch in exasperation as he did a 180 degree and dive-bombed towards the carpet again! already having my newest morning shower and finger scrubbing, I kicked him in the bumper and he did a sucessful 90 and then went about a foot an a different direction, deciding that the carpet was where he MUST be, proceeded with reckless abandonment turned again and attacked my poor defenseless carpet. I quickly grabbed a table that I had nearby and laid it down on the floor to block my headstrong assistant from trying to clean the carpet, and then quickly re-arranged the area between the kitchen and the living room to physically block him (+10 for human, no change for robot!). It was at this time that the third concern was realized. Having the robot safely contained to the tiled of area, I was able to observe the two 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) wide wet streaks railing behind my newest assistant. It appears that the Filtered Water Plugs are not able to supply enough coverage to the floor to wet the entire width of the robot's cleaning process, leaving little clean streaks throughout my kitchen the rest completely unchanged (Touche' little assistant, touche'). After I had replaced his docking station and told him to return to charge, he did find his station and start charging correctly (+1 for robot, no change for human). I did check the cloth, and while it was moist and dirty, I still see clean streaks throughout my kitchen! Since I had already rearranged my house to allow him to be safely contained in the kitchen like a naughty toddler or destructive pup, I decided to launch him again. Carefully standing behind the barrier that I had created, I pressed the start button again. This time, seeing that he had no way of reaching me, it actually did what I was originally expected and backed up before starting the sidebrushes (Perhaps it was just a "first off fluke" or it is a robot that has gotten the taste of blood and is going to try to lull me into a false sense of security again prior to attacking, I don't know!).Pros* It is short and slides easily underneath my countertops, which is a big issue with my older ones that always gets caught because it is 1/16th of an inch (1.5 mm) taller then the height of the base of the cabinets.* It seems to have decent suction* It isn't aggressively noisy, I can hear it but it isn't offensively loud.Cons* there are no barriers, you have to put something in its way to block different areas of the house.* the cliff sensor (for when you pick the dang thing up) has about a 2 to 3 second delay before shutting down the robot.* unlike the previous robots that I have had which gives verbal clues as to the problems at hand, it expects you to speak R2-D2 language of beeps and whistles (unlike R2-D2, it does come with a list of explanations under it's "hood").* docking station is so light that it isn't able to stay put.* While the Water Plugs seem to dish out a solid spitz of liquid, it doesn't seem to be enough to actually do much besides annoy the person who picks him up.* the wipe cloth is only about 7 inches (17.7 cm) wide, while all the previous ones came in at about 10 to 11 inches (254 - 279.4 cm) wide.While I never tried to connect it to the WIFI, I didn't see any "clear" instructions, except for a "if you cannot connect it, try this" troubleshooting steps, I think I wasted $159 USD...My suggestion, spend the extra 25 - 50 bucks and get something the has been built a bit more logically.

I have the Roomba and 2 eufy robot vacs. Both of those are much more intelligent than this guy, but for half the cost, it doesn't learn as quickly as the others. The Mopping function is great!On the plus side, it has 2 sweepers which aid in getting stuff into the vacuum. If you have dog hair, it does not have a roller brush, which get disgusting after the first use.If the mapping develops, this may be a worthy purchase, but this is, by far, the loudest robot vac I've ever had.

Pros: it maneuvers over carpets/ odd levels well. My cats like watching it, but more money than I like to spend on a cat toy.Cons: Basically no suction, sweeping brushes literally push debris around and then leave it wherever the robot steps up. Spent an inordinate amount of time under my bed and bookshelves, but would miss most of the open spaces. From pet hair to small bits of dirt, nothing was picked up. Remote didn't respond well, never was able to get the wi-fi connected. Returning.

I thought about purchasing this for a couple of months. I have 2 other robot vacuums from another company that were less expensive and adequate, but one was starting to wear out. When this machine went on sale on a Amazon Daily Deal, I decided to purchase it. I am impressed by the quality of the machine, the improved quality of the parts and how quiet this was in comparison to my other ones. I like the integration of the phone app, and it does work automatically even if I am not home. Really pleased with this. I only have used the mop feature once, and I'm not sure it did a great job, but in fairness, my kitchen floor needed a good mopping before I tried this. I think it will do well if I use the mopping feature at least every other day so the dirt is more surface level. Totally worth the money spent for sure.

I bought this item with some hesitation because I had heard bad reviews from other people but, they had different units (not MANVINS) and they also weren’t using theirs correctly.I have to say, I am ABSOLUTELY in love with my unit!! I put it together, put it on the charge which then the unit said it was already charged (yayyy). I then let it run just randomly to see how well it would do and WOW, it works awesomely!! I let the unit run for WAY over an hour (we were busy laughing at our cat’s reaction to it) and it picked up everything in its path. It climbed over the little ledges that separate the dining room into kitchen and from the kitchen into the laundry room. When it was done doing ALL those areas, it came back into the living room (where the charger is) and, docked itself for charging. Taking and putting the dirt collector out was simple as well. I’m 100% confident about my unit and happy that I didn’t listen to all the naysayers and made this purchase anyway!!
