I have been wanting to get a robotic vacuum for a long time but the price has always been very high. I saw this vacuum and was surprised at what features it has for a very reasonable price so I wanted to give it a try.The vacuum was very easy to set up. All you have to do is push on the side brushes, plug in the dock, and charge the vacuum.There is an app called SMART LIFE which you install on your phone which allows you to control what vacuum remotely. This was very easy to do. The app was available on Google Play.After everything is set up it’s just a matter of starting the vacuum from the app. The first time I did a “smart clean” the vacuum goes around your home mapping the different rooms and obstacles that it needs to avoid. It takes longer to vacuum the first time because of this.After you have vacuumed the first time there are other modes you can select to only vacuum specific areas and rooms.I am very impressed with how well this vacuums. It nicely mapped the rooms and cleaned both the carpet and vinyl floor nicely. It does not just go around randomly but follows a pattern where it vacuums the perimeter first and then goes back and forth on the rest of the floor.The suctions is very strong and it got a lot of dirt off of my floors which I thought were already clean.The mopping feature involves filling the vacuum with water and attaching a mopping pad. It then drags the pad over the floors. I only have one small bathroom that does not have carpet and it cleaned this well.I am very happy with this vacuum. It has a lot of features built into it and having the app to control and monitor the vacuum’s progress is great. It is also very simple to use and would make a great gift.I do recommend this robotic vacuum.

Iâve had many robot vacuums over the years, but impressed at the level of technology that comes in this robot mop and vacuum. It comes with two washable mop pads, a spare filter and a cleaning tool. The reservoir is easy to fill and has a good seal on it, and the dustbin is likewise easy to empty. It never has any trouble finding its dock at the end of a job, and it hasnât gotten stuck yet. Iâm happy with it and would recommend.

These machines have come a long way over the last couple of years.Being able to map the rout using the app on my phone, there are very few areas that this machine misses.The LIDAR system is very precise and allows for tight mapping around the house into multiple rooms.The cleaning system does a thorough job of cleaning most surfaces. Like for most of these robots, The biggest challenge to it is cleaning small stones and sand off of hardwood.Docking to recharge is fairly straightforward and once docked, it is secure.Charging seems on par with other machines so no complaints there.Easy to use and pretty robust it seems like a pretty good buy.

The setup for this was mercifully easy, though I will mention since it didn’t indicate it anywhere readily that I saw: It is a 2.4G WIFI only device. If your provider for internet has equipment that only shows you a unified network (rather than 2.4 and 5 separately), see later on for how to deal with that, if you’re encountering connection issues.So, I only tested its vacuum functionality on hardwood and a thin throw rug/carpet. I did see some interesting quirks with it, namely that it does have an accentuated aversion to edges, even after finishing its mapping process. I didn’t see it come close enough to finish the edges during my time actively watching for about 15 minutes. However, the mapping process itself is efficient and relatively intuitive – though I would say it would be nice if you could manually delete regions from the map (I made the mistake of having some doors open to rooms that shouldn’t be in the plan, but it still shows those as regions. Being fair, it doesn’t go for them). With that said, the exclusion zone wasn’t too hard to add, though it’s only in a square/rectangle shape, and can’t be placed too close to the base station for obvious reasons.It handles going under and around furniture quite well, (see video clip). I did not use the mop mode, having little reason for it, but by the time it had finished its pass of the first zone it had mapped, all of my dog’s fluff was gone. It’s definitely a fairly slow job to do the cleaning, but of course that is the sacrifice made to have the cleaning be automatic.Now, some tips for use so as not to repeat some of my mistakes:1. MAKE SURE THE AC ADAPTER IS WOUND UP. I forgot about it, being my habit to just plug things in, and so a bunch of it was left on the ground near its base station. Lucky being what it is, it managed to almost cannibalize it xD you want to be careful with cables. Being fair, that’s my error – it does warn in the instructions to make sure cables aren’t left about willy-nilly. Nylon ties are your friend, or just a twist-tie.2. It will go up edges with relatively dauntless lack of fear, so it’s a good idea before you run it for the first time to try and set up some cardboard or something (borrow it from your amazon package) to corral it into the areas you want while it formulates its map. Ie, there’s a TV stand with all our cables and stuff left on it, and it was not a steep enough ledge to stop this thing from doggedly advancing on it. If you block it in its first run without ordering a recalibration of its map, it’ll remember that – so for easy, unmonitored mapping, consider putting a temporary barrier in place on such items to prevent it. It won’t go into them thereafter.3. Band-steering/No visible 2.4G network? The trick here is that your network will still *have* these frequencies, but the initial handshake with a 2.4G only device can be very confusing for such modems/routers (ie: Rogers’ Ignite gateways in Canada) since they don’t have quite enough metadata at first to make a confident determination. The easy and fast way to do this is go into the router console or whatever configuration utility you use, and turn off the radios for 5G,6G, whatever else that isn’t 2.4G. This resolves the ambiguity without having to create new network names or turn this feature off. Once you’ve made your connection successfully, feel free to turn those radios back on – it just needs it for the first time, so it can make a proper handshake.If you see a network, but it constantly rejects what should be the correct password – double check that your security mode is set to WPA2 (some newer equipment supports WPA3, but this is basically using a different cipher system, so regardless of the right password, equipment not able to understand it can’t connect – WPA2 is still in extremely widespread use and basically the ‘default’ anything should work with. Note this does have security implications in absolute terms, but if you’re not too worried about the van outside, in realistic terms, it doesn’t matter.Anyway, I like this thing! First time with a robotic vacuum and it was a much less painful process than I expected it would be. Spares having to do nightly vacuuming to handle my dog’s plentiful donations of ‘illegal fluff’ when he’s shedding, and that alone is a win in my books!========================== Overall View: [ð] ==== – ð¦ðððð + ==========================Media Used: Some screenshots from the app, video of it navigating during its mapping run (so it is a little more interested in being thorough than immediately extricating itself from ‘trap’ areas). You can see one of my mistakes with that fan cable, xD then… it promptly rushed into the TV stand area too xD My fault.

Works great!
Love love love this, but dust bin is small. Please increase the size of dust bin, other than that, perfection. I do have cats so if you clean regularly may not be an issue.

Easy setup with the Smart Life App.
I can’t state about the long term quality and use of this Robo Vac as I only received this unit yesterday, but it was very easy to setup with the Smart Life app. I ran the unit last night, it mapped our home and cleaned it without any problems. I was able to combine rooms and divide other rooms with the app with ease.

In the quest for a spotless home with minimal effort, robot vacuums have become indispensable. The BPMIO Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, with its 4500pa strong suction and self-charging capabilities, promises to be a powerful ally in maintaining cleanliness. After using it extensively, hereâs my detailed and balanced review.Design and Build QualityThe BPMIO Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo boasts a sleek and modern design that fits seamlessly into any home decor.

So far it has been good.
The set up was easy and the mapping function is very good. It is possible to partition and name separate rooms and to set up several different ‘no go’ or restricted areas (unlike my older model where only one ‘no go zone was allowed.You can also set up several different starting times and area options (I set it up to clean around my main entry way every day, but only do the whole house MWF. It cleans most of my 3000 sq ft house in about 100 minutes and then only takes about 2 hours to recharge and to finish.I was having some doubts about its suction ability as it seemed to miss particles on the floor. I finally picked up the unit and looked at it with the dust bin removed. The suction port was almost fully blocked with hair/lint. Once that was removed, it did well.With the LIDAR it maps well and intelligently cleans. It does not seem to bump into things.For the price it seems hard to beat.

Absolutely love!
I absolutely love this vacuum!! It maps out your house as it vacuums and then you can edit the map or change the features of what it does in each room. I can control everything from my phone, which is nice when always on the go! It has a great suction, picks up dog hair, crumbs, dirt and dust easily. Seems to move around my furniture well and do a great job picking up a lot each use! Mop feature is nice as well! Totally worth the buy ð²ð²
