iHome AutoVac Orbita Pro - Alexa Compatible Robot Vacuum & Mop, 360° Lidar Navigation, Self-Emptying, 2700 PA Suction, 2HR Runtime, Home Mapping, No-Go Zones, Wi-Fi Connected

We've been using this for not quite two months after jumping on a $200 deal and we've overall been extremely happy with it.I have an 2.4Ghz band that I use for home automation with a 20Mhz band width, and thankfully, even the most difficult and cheaply made devices have been able to connect. This vacuum wasn't an exception and connected right away.After the first run, I took another review's complaint in mind and set up the map zones on a tablet to essentially "zoom" in and avoid any tiny-map problems, which made it simple to set up.This is our first robot vacuum and we, of course, had a lot of learning to do on the usual things to avoid including keeping blankets from hanging off of the couch, avoid a few tight areas where it got stuck once or twice, make sure to put shoes on the bottom of the shoe rack to avoid it trying to 4x4 it's way in there and get stuck, pick up stringy cat toys and dangling USB cables, etc. Honestly, all things that we'd likely need to do with any robot vacuum. Not too bad overall and now it runs pretty reliably.I did put the base in a corner with a few inches of clearance around it, and while I didn't expect it to work there, I had hoped for convenience sake. Thankfully, it hasn't had a problem with it, and it's more out of the way than the alternative options.In the nearly two months of it running every weekday, and once in a while on the weekends, the first bag is only about 1/2 to 3/4 full. I picked up some aftermarket M7 bags, but have yet to find cheaper HEPA filters since every brand has a different size. I'll likely just need to buy a couple packs from ihomeclean in the near future.The mop is a nice additional feature, but since it can't travel over carpet, it can't get into the main bathroom. Overall, that's okay since kitty litter is the problem there anyway and the vacuum drastically helps with that. I've only used the mop once on a weekend for the hallway that the base lives, the kitchen and the dining room, and while it's not going to be able to get up dried dust that gathered from where our toddler dropped some form of wet food, I never expected it to. Afterall, we try to stay on top of those messes anyway. So for picking up whatever is left after vacuuming, it actually did pretty well. We're patiently waiting for iHome to introduce their cleaning solution that's compatible and will definitely buy it when it's available.We've been waiting for a decent robot with lidar and a emptying base to come down in price before we bought into this ecosystem, and overall, this Nova model has hit all of the boxes that we were looking for. Is it going to deep clean your carpet? Definitely not. But if you vacuum your floors with a decent upright, and then let this unit maintain, it seems to do a fantastic job.

I researched robot vacuums for over a year and finally picked this one for the needs of our home. The robot itself does a great job cleaning. The app has issues (loses it mapping from time to time, won't send push notifications to my phone so when there's a problem you have to go in the app to see the issue), but it seems to be a work in progress and I have hope it will improve over time. I wanted to write this review to say how pleased I am with warranty support. The front wheel snapped off and my robot could no longer dock. I contacted the company to inquire how long the warranty was and expected an annoying answer that would cost me either a whole new robot or a costly repair. To my surprise, the company immediately sent me a new wheel along with a video tutorial on how to replace the wheel. My robot was up and vacuuming again in less than a week. I'm super impressed with the support and will lean to iHome robots on future purchases!

This thing absolutely sucks. It cannot get hardwood floor clean at all. It helps, sure, but I have to sweep behind it and still get a pile of dirt or whatever.If you have long hair, please understand that it will get wrapped tightly around the roller thing and you’ll have to disassemble that, cut the hairs with a knife, and reassemble it on a regular basis. Additionally, the rotating brush gets tangled in long hair as well and requires the same maintenance.If you have rugs, it will suck up a corner of it and drag it around, further hurting its ability to vacuum.The mop function on mine just simply doesn’t work. Idk if that’s a widespread issues or not.The app works fine, probably the only good thing about this. I never tried the remote.The biggest annoyance is the amount of things this gets stuck on. I can’t possibly set it to a schedule because it gets stuck or hung or needs help every few minutes. It will pull wires out of your outlets and get stuck in them or even ruin them, struggled to transition onto an elevated surface like a rug, and gets anything like a Kleenex, dryer sheet, candy wrapper, or anything like that stuck in it and requires help. I don’t even use the stupid thing anymore because it is less stress and hassle to just sweep.The battery life? Won’t even clean my whole place. For reference, I rent a single wide trailer and don’t let it go in any bedroom or bathroom apart from the master bed. So it has a trailer’s hallway, small master bed, kitchen, and living room, and it has to go back to its home to charge once or even twice in the middle of cleaning.The self empty thing was great for a while, but often gets clogged. When that happens, you have to take apart the entire thing and find something to shove all the way through the tube to unclog that plus unclogging the vacuum itselfDO NOT BUY THIS. If I could give this 0 stars I would

El producto empezó a fallar después de un mes de uso, lamentablemente nunca pude contactar al vendedor , en cuanto a su funcionamiento, el poco tiempo que funcionó el aspirado no es al 100% pero bastante aceptable.

I've had my Nova for barely 5 months (purchased July of 2022). With normal usage it worked alright. There was an issue with water leakage which other reviews have covered. My cleaning schedule activates the other day....unit makes some noise...the wheels can be heard turning. Then nothing. Wheel error notification. I take a look at it, nothing is in the wheels that I can see. They are still able to turn forwards and backwards. Try again. Now a Fan error notification. Trying to find anything online about the error notification types is an exercise in futility. I reach out to the seller Magma Group, and find out the warranty offered is a single month. $500 for the unit is not an inconsiderate amount, and having my unit last less than 5 months is highly suspect. This type of warranty coverage speaks volumes. Save yourself the hassle and avoid this seller.

This vacuum should not be sold on Canada, nor should it be on Amazon.caThe app for this thing is not supported in this country making half the features useless.
