hi I'm Megan Miller she preceded appliances and this is the manual write us H 67 Pro so while this $400 robot floor cleaner has a lot of features I kind of wish they had stuck to the basics because they get bogged down in options and kind of skipped out on performance first of all it's designed to vacuum it has a mop mode and it also has a hybrid mode which can vacuum and mop simultaneously in addition to that it has an intensive mode which is kind of like a spot cleaning mode it cleans in a three by three foot space it also has a shadow cleaning mode that's kind of unique for robot floor cleaners it goes into spaces that are shadowed it goes under your bed under your table under your couch anywhere that has extra dust bunnies and cleans so looking at this thing it's basic if not a little bit boring but when you actually look at the display it's kind of confusing not only is it confusing it also doesn't really work that well I press the Big M button for mode and sometimes it goes to the mode sometimes it doesn't it was hit or miss and inconsistency that you really really don't want to see when you're trying to simplify your floor cleaning also on navigation it has no idea when it's finished a cleaning cycle it will run and run until the battery is low and then it will go back to the dock and half the time it doesn't even get to the dock easily it can take 10 20 minutes just to find the dock we did speak with a manual representative who said that it will clean as long as it senses debris or until the battery runs low but we really didn't experience that we only noticed that the battery would run low and it would try to head to the dock unfortunately these design and usability flaws also transferred to poor performance more than anything we noticed inconsistency in the testing the only time it was consistent was on the rice test it picked up most of the rice it did skip the corners but everything else was clean on the pet hair test I got error message after error message asked me to check the brush over and over and over again after 10 seconds 30 seconds 45 seconds of testing basically defeating the purpose of having a hands-off automated floor cleaner tons of pet hair would get stuck around the axle of the brush and jam it up and on the sand test I got regular messages to check the wheels I checked the wheels I took the wheels apart I cleaned the wheels even after that I still got the error message so that test was also pretty bad the mob test was another story we tested on hardwood vinyl and ceramic tile floors and it would alternate between cleaning the floors and stalling right after leaving the dock and not cleaning anything at all unfortunately this robot vacuum is just too inconsistent to trust it to clean your floor's regularly you might as well just do it yourself it would be way more efficient and much less expensive Christine that appliances I'm Megan bowlers
