Purchased the iLife v3s pro at end of November, 2021 on Black Friday sale. So it has had daily use for 2 months.
I had soured on robot vacuums after going through 2 expensive iRobot vacs 7-8 years ago that got pet hair hopelessly entangled in its main brush gears and constant hangups under chairs. The iLife caught my attention first because of the low price and the high customer ratings. My interest piqued when I read that it had no central brush, just two counter-rotating side brushes. Simple design. One thing that did work well on the iRobots was their single side brushes, which had few issues. The iLife having 2 seemed like a good idea. I have a super shedder Golden. Reviews confirmed that this did great on pet hair. So I sprung for this vacuum, and so glad I did.
I programmed the schedule for it to run automatically every morning before I get up to clean a large great room, kitchen with a table rug with short tassels and runner along the island, attached mud/laundry, an entry with a thick rug, and a long hallway. The v3s bin is full every day, mostly with hair, but also a lot of small crumbs and fine dust. It’s pretty impressive what it picks up, actually. It climbs up the entry rug, which is almost and inch thick, with no problem. It has never tumbled down the staircase near the entry. Sometimes the side brushes catch a corner of the kitchen rugs, but the vac does a maneuver where it rotates 90 degrees and goes to one side or the other and disentangles from the raised rug. I never have to intervene. It does well on the carpet in the great room. All of the rugs are very low pile, and the carpet is medium pile. I don’t know how it would handle shag rugs or carpet. It does dishevel the kitchen table rug tassels a bit. You do have to tie up electrical chords a few inches off the floor, and it did get hung up a few times on the Christmas tree skirt.
If you let it run, it cleans for about 1.5 hours and returns to the charger. The return is hit and miss. But I found about an hour is long enough, so after that time I pick up the unit, take it over to the hallway down which the charger is located, aim it at the charger and push the start button to start it on its way. After a few seconds I press the Home button on the remote and it reliably finds its way back and starts charging. All of that takes about 15 seconds.
Daily 5 minute or less maintenance involves wiping dust from the front and back screens with a wet paper towel or kleenex, and emptying the dust bin. When I dump the dust bin, I take out the main filter and tap it clean against the inside of the garbage can. I tap the open dust bin gently against the garbage can to dislodge dust from the fine filter. Every few days I take the fine filter out and tap it against the inside of the garbage can to dislodge even more fine dust. I haven’t replaced the fine dust filter yet, but I did buy a box of 10 from iLife on Amazon, which I think will be about a 2 year or more supply. After about 6 weeks I noticed some fuzz coming from underneath the bases of the side brushes. They were easy to unscrew and both had dog hair and lint wound around the stem of the brushes that was easy to pull out. No hair down in the gears. This took about 5 minutes and will probably be needed on a fairly regular basis.
Does it clean perfectly? No, but almost. Along the kitchen runner where it has one wheel up on the rug and one wheel on the wood floor, it misses a few crumbs that I have to pick up with a broom or my Dyson. Occasionally there is a crumb that I wet a finger and pick up by hand. Now and then the corners need to be cleaned by hand. But overall it has almost eliminated the need to vacuum regularly. Bottom line, I love this thing. Praying that it holds up long term.

Outstanding robo-vac for hard flooring
I've only had this vac for about 2 weeks, but I've already used it 5 or 6 times and it has genuinely impressed me with it overall performance. I have primarily hardwood and linoleum flooring in my home, like 90% hard flooring and low pile floor rugs.This little vacuum does a great job and always surprises me with all of the dirt, dust bunnies, hair, leaf pieces, and mud that it somehow finds. I'm a recent divorcee and my hardwood floors were getting pretty dirty and I simply haven't been keeping up with a broom and vacuum sweeper as I should.I've heard from several good friends about how much easier life can get with an automatic vacuum. I found this on sale ($99) and the reviews were pretty good both here on Amazon, and online too. It's become my favorite Christmas gift that I bought (early) for myself!This is a very simple machine that just sorta roams randomly around the house and bounces around everywhere. I've nicknamed it Nomad because it likes to wander lol. It seems to cover everything though.It was advertised as having over 90 minutes of run time before needing charge, and I have absolutely no doubt that is true. I rarely let mine run for more than an hour or so, because my house isn't that huge.I love the remote, because it allows you to 'drive' it wherever you want, like if I want it to go into a space that it might have difficulty navigating on it's own, or if you simply want it to take a swipe at some crumbs that you might have accidentally dropped while eating at the table. Easy peasy.I've only let it run while I was home so that I can see where any problem areas might be. Loose rugs, low curtains, slightly lower than expected coffee table, and loose shoes were all a potential concern, but this thing didn't mind any of 'em. It's a trooper and will crawl over any rug that I own, if not super gracefully, and it even managed to get itself unstuck from my computer desk and chair a 2 occasions before I adjusted their arrangement. Once I'm 100% confident that he won't get into trouble or get stuck when I'm not around, I'll use the scheduled cleaning mode while I'm at work.
