In fact, its performance is on par with many of thebest robot vacuumswhether its vacuuming or mopping.
It does in an orderly pattern, without missing any spots.
I appreciate the intuitive nature of the app and the solid mapping of this robot vacuum as well.
It does have some issues that are specific to it.

Many very good models last between 100 and 120 minutes.
On top of that, you’re able to view the map in 2D or 3D.

I also tested all the features listed in the app, from mapping to different levels of cleaning.
