neabot Q11 Robot Vacuum and Mop, 4000Pa Strong Suction Self Emptying Robotic Vacuum, Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Connectivity, APP & Alexa Control, Multi Floor Mapping, Ideal for Pet Hair, Hard Floor and Carpet

I work from home so I don't have time to physically clean during the day. This is the second robot vacuum I’ve ever had, and I love how quiet and easy it is to use out of the box. It works great when picking up dirt, cat litter and even cat food off the floor which is where I need it the most (I have a messy cat). The app is extremely helpful! It allows you to schedule cleaning times, adjust vacuum suction power, shows you vacuum water levels, and more importantly, you can control what rooms to clean by tapping on the app’s visual map display which shows each room in different colors. You can basically control everything from your smartphone! Talk about practical.With the app, you can schedule cleaning times by zone, room and even do spot cleaning. You can turn on phone alerts to notify you of any issues the vacuum encounters while cleaning your house too, and it keeps a record of any issues it had during operation. I also love that it’s very quiet so you can schedule it to start cleaning before anyone is up in the morning or late at night, and it’s very thorough when cleaning. I’ve seen it go back and forth making sure each section as it thoroughly cleaned.My favorite part is the self-emptying dustbin which means I don’t have to empty it myself. It worked great on my laminate floors, and area rugs, which surprised me because I expected it to have issues getting stuck on the rugs around the house like my other vacuums. Battery life is pleasantly long, and it never had issues finding its charging base. The mopping function is great because it cleans dirty spots as it goes which means I can postpone mopping the entire house every week. ;-) Overall, I’ve had a great experience with Neabot Q11, and look forward to having it for a long time. Great value for your money, and if you work from home like me, it's nice to get some help around the house without issues. Totally worth it.

Update on Sept 29, 2024 after a replacement January 2023:My Gigi Robot has died, lasted about 18 months. Started by not finding the rooms or the charger, and then just completely dying. Not sure if was a hardware or software issue or battery. Unluckily I had Asurion for repair or service, but got e-mail & SMS that it was unrepairable and they are sending me a refund on my Asurion cost. Kicker is that is an Amazon Gift card for the Asurion cost, and not refund to my credit card. I have also sent an SMS and e-mail asking if they are sending me the robot back, but so far no reply.Sept/Oct-2022:This machine worked great for 6 weeks. My floors were always dust free and were robot mopped and only having to do cleaning & mopping in hard to reach places (behind toilet bowl, small spaces). The only issue, which I then made it into a no go zone was underneath a dresser. The bottom of a bar to give the dresser strength is at the same height of the top of the robot and since the robot is moving, several times the robot managed to wedge itself underneath.The issue that started yesterday was a "water pump" issue and the Q11 would atop working in the middle of the cleaning. This prompted support call to Amazon which recommended a full reset, but all with no luck. The first phone call after reset I thought issue resolved to reappear some 30 mins later. I have also emailed Neabot and almost 18 hrs later, no luck with them. Waiting to hear from Neabot support.I do think that the first 5 weeks of honeymoon period it was 9/10. They do need more people to handle support/troubleshooting. The app is good although remote control is slow. Their user manual & website are very basic. Could use a lot of improvement. Would I buy again ???...Great question

The media could not be loaded. I own a Roomba to help with minor vacuuming around the house. It does a pretty good job of picking up small things from carpets, tiles, and laminated wood flooring, though it is not as perfect. One of the features we like is what iRobot, the Roomba's maker, pioneered: the visual mapping of the cleaning areas so you can see what parts of the house it covered or did not cover. Roomba probably is THE market leader in robotic vacuums, and with that comes its high price tag. Additionally, the Roomba 980 we have is LOUD (more on that later), sometimes waking up our infant from her naps.Wife gave me a mandate. Look for another robot vacuum that we could have running daily that is not as noisy, and use the Roomba for deeper cleaning. We also needed one that could empty its dust collector a few times because our upstairs bedroom carpet sheds a LOT of fiber every, single time. Roomba's i7+ was way too expensive at $1,000, and I got the Neabot on sale for less than 3/4 the price. Do we like it? Yes and no.PROS- Very quiet operation- Picked up a lot of trash-- Works on carpet, laminated wood, and tile flooring- Good suction power except for deep carpets-- Multiple suction modes. When it reaches a deep carpet, it turns up its suction strength (but still makes less noise than Roomba 980)-- Wish it sucked harder on carpet- Cleaned most of the house, though its sweeping algorithm looks random compared to Roomba's methodological sweeping-- It appeared to first randomly move about the house to map the area, and THEN it would announce "Cleaning" and actually clean. Roomba cleans while it maps in a controlled, zig-zag pattern- Emptied itself after each clean. Can be turned off to never empty- Stair avoidance to prevent it from dropping- Entanglement detection. Stops when it is stuck on a cord- Good battery life- Looks very nice and high-tech. I much prefer its look over Roomba's- Voice prompts with adjustable volume- WiFi enabled-- Can be controlled remotely via an app (start, stop, schedule)-- Visually maps cleaning areas like the Roomba, but there appears to be some bug in the software in how it draws out the floorplan- Apple iOS and Android app support- Self charges (finds its own charging base when done)- Mopping functionality works, but is rudimentary-- You fill the robot with a cleaning solution in a separate compartment and attach the microfiber part to mop- Robot locator function through the app- Additional accessories included, such as brushes and filters- Setup was easy- Object avoidance seemed better than Roomba's-- Roomba bumped into things to know that something was in the way-- Neabot uses lasers (visible by pointing phone camera at it) to avoid objects without bumping into anything. It would later map in more detail by indeed bumping into objects too. This meant that when I walked in front of the robot, it immediately detected my presence and located an alternate path to travelCONS- My first Neabot kept stopping a number of times while cleaning for a variety of reasons-- Returned it for a replacement. New one did not have the issue- Cleaning route appears to be random instead of methodotical and predictable like the Roomba-- Seems to first be mapping the room and THEN clean instead of doing both at the same time- Mopping functionality was rudimentary-- Cleaned some parts of the tile floor, but not as well as manually doing it by hand. To be fair, Roomba's Braava mops are not any better either- Voice prompts are initially too loud. I configured the volume to be lower-- Voice prompts woke us up in the middle of the night twice because it was performing an update and rebooting. I told customer service they need to NOT have the robot say something while it's upgrading, especially at night- Side sweeping brush kept coming off when the Neabot went over cables- Software seems to need more work. Customer service said that they continuously make improvements and that it will get better over timeOverall, once the robot has been set up, things worked very well. I wish that it cleaned while mapping to save some time, but perhaps the engineers will improve on the Neabot's programming over time. I asked the wife: Roomba or Neabot? She liked how quiet the Neabot was, that it did a decent job vacuuming, and mops up light messes. Me? I prefer the Roomba, but for the lower price, we decided to stay with the Neabot.
