I just looked back and see that I bought this in June or 2018. Currently it is relegated to my EZ Breeze enclosure as I have the self emptying 3+ for the main part of my house. It's so easy to use that my cat regularly vacuums for me. She is seriously fascinated with this and likes to push the button and then stalk it. Maintenance has been minimal. I replaced the brush motor once which was really easy and not at all expensive. I think I used a 3rd party solution. I think I put new brushes in it once and I replace the filter every so often. It does great on hardwood and even does really well on carpet. In my previous house, I had a berber carpet. It was low pile but I had three long haired mostly white cats and the cat hair would really stick to it. Now it's working with low pile indoor outdoor carpet. I often use the Alexa app to start it, if the cat hasn't vacuumed already. It's been a real time saver over the years. However, if you can swing it, I would recommend the self emptying base. I think the 3+ is the least expensive. That one has maps. I can't really see a reason to buy anything more complicated than the 3+. I bought that one 3 years ago, for our retirement home, and it has been equally trouble free. We are now retired and I vacuum almost every night. It's a little noisy, so I use ear plugs. I really don't think I need to put a new bag in more than a couple of times a year. I do have to clean cat hair out of the rollers and wheels on a regular basis (once a month or so?). These things are built to last!
