A watched bot misses the spot... so many times I see it running and it JUST missed a piece of lint, over and over... and then I come back 15 minutes later and it's gone! Lots of negative reviews from people who seem to have not understood that this is a random motion robot. Keeping your expectations in line and realizing that even with a random pattern the whole house will eventually be covered every few days and this is an amazing little helper.
I actually wanted a "dumb" robot because I didn't want an internet connected device because I care about my network security, and many consumer grade IOT devices have very poor security.
I bought two very similar vacuums, one for downstairs and one for upstairs. We have very dark laminate flooring downstairs and it felt like even if I vacuumed regularly there'd still be stuff showing up shortly after I completed my cleaning. I'd do a whole house vacuum every week, but it still felt like I couldn't keep up, so I initially bought this one (the 11S+) for the downstairs laminate. I loved it so much that I bought an 11S Max for upstairs just a short time later.
Since the 11S Max is so similar, I'll combine details from both in this review as they're relevant here too.
For context, this is in a household with two long-haired adults, no kids, no pets.
Downstairs on laminate and tile flooring with only an area rug and fairly basic furniture the device has worked perfectly. It got stuck once on day two in a corner where I had some chairs stacked up and gained the nickname "Waldo"... "Wall-e, the garbage collecting robot... got stuck... where is he? Where's Waldo?!", but hasn't gotten stuck anywhere since and always finds its way home. Every day at lunchtime I come downstairs from my home office and empty the bin and I'm shocked by how much stuff is in it, wondering how I ever lived in such dirty conditions! haha
After deciding that this was the best thing ever I bought another for upstairs on the carpeted floors. Things are a bit different there. It seems that every single room upstairs has an obstacle that it doesn't like, and I've had to do a LOT more robot-proofing. In the master bedroom it found its way into the walk-in closet and got tangled on a shirt that had a long string-like fringe and got stuck. In the master bedroom it gets up on the legs of the drying rack and makes a LOT of noise going over them, repeatedly. In the hall guest bedroom it got stuck under the bed that had JUST enough clearance for it to get under, but not get back out. In each of the home offices it gets hung up on the desk legs. In my home office it gets hung up on the legs of my music stand. One night it started beeping after going a touch too far over the edge of the stairs and not being able to back up. It's strange how the downstairs robot can go about its business daily w/o any problem, and the upstairs one has a problem in every single room. I'm gradually going around and finding ways to deal with the problem room by room (e.g. 3d printed bumpers on my desk legs), but it has been a bit more of a challenge. Like the downstairs robot it's SHOCKING how much crap the thing picks up every day, even after a deep vacuuming with our Sebo D4. Being as this one gets stuck so often it got the nickname Dodo. I still love it, and it keeps things cleaner, but does require a lot more babysitting. With time I expect it'll get better as I've been making and adding guards here and there to keep it away from areas where it shouldn't be.
A note about the long hair mentioned before: On day 1 I tested the upstairs one before a deep-vacuuming, after about 2 weeks of not doing one and it got REALLY REALLY tangled with hair, but I did a deep vacuuming with the real vacuum and since then it has kept up enough that hair has not been a problem at all.
Pros: Very quiet, good coverage (I seldom see a missed spot), picks up a crazy amount of stuff even when you think there's nothing for it to find, cheap maintenance parts, easy setup, no apps nor wifi connectivity to phone home and potentially compromise your home network.
Cons: None if your house is robot-proof, some people may have zero problems, some might have a LOT of problems.
