ILIFE V5s Plus Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo with Wi-Fi/App/Alexa, Automatic Self-Charging Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, Slim and Quiet, Cleans Hard Floors Carpets and Pet Hair (V5s Pro Upgrade Version)

Perfect for My Current Needs (former Roomba Junkie)
I live in the humid tropics, 2 blocks from beach (sand n salt laden air), ground level just feet from street, with mangrove jungle across the street. I don’t have carpet; only tile. With our strong ocean breeze lots of air comes through bringing salty, sticky dust, always moisture laden, and a fare amount of sand tracked in by humans and my 2 dogs; one large and shaggy, other medium puppy who is allllll over the place, all the time, stirring everything up constantly. I have had an army of iRobot Roombas since they first came out, 2002, through the 500 series. I gifted them when I left the states but it became very apparent that I needed daily sweeping and damp mopping here in my new home. This is not a Roomba, that I used in my large house, tile floors, daily, an army of 6, to help clean up the mess from 10 large and Giant country housedogs nor is it as robust as the 3 Electrolux Trilobites I used on my carpet upstairs at big house in States. BUT… it is exactly what I need for my current situation and tile floors that stay always a little tacky and damp from environment. One of the MAJOR things I LOVE about my iLife ‘bot is the ease of emptying and cleaning AND, and this is HUGE, I don’t have to do monthly cleanings of a brush gear box, like I had to do with my Roombas, to keep them running. Dog hair, dust, and gunk would work into the brush gearbox with a vengeance. The iLife is so simple. It has 2 brushes on sides to drive the debris towards the suction hole which is all that is needed for bare floors. No Gear boxes to clean out!!!! Even without using the Max suction every bit of sticky, salty debris and fluff from Big dog (he’s half Lab and sheds gobs of fluffy undercoat constantly) are cleaned up entirely from floor. My floor space is about 300 sq ft. It will clean the entirety using 2 of the 4 bars of battery life, with plenty of battery left. I usually recharge it in about an hour and then set it to damp mop. It does an excellent job damp mopping. I use white vinegar and water and pre-moisten the pad. I had a maid who came in weekly and is an excellent cleaner but I need daily “sweeping” and mopping every other day. I don’t think a human can do as good a job no matter how good and thorough they are. Because I’m now on a more limited income, I have limited space to store appliances, and the cost of shipping and duties from US to Mexico is so high the extremely reasonable price of the iLife was a major factor in my decision right up with the importance of the work I needed it to do. I can’t, at this time, comment on longevity or durability but, from all the experience I’ve had for almost 20 years owning floor ‘bots, I think this ‘bot will more than pay for itself and most likely work for many years as there just isn’t much to break down. I ordered extra side brushes, hepa filters, mop pads, that came with extra “velcro” type replacement pads for the mop pad even though a few came with the ‘bot. After a month I changed out the hepa filter only because my sink leaked and ‘bot sucked up the water into the hepa filter; probably time to change anyway. That took all of 10 seconds. As long as you use the iLife for bare floors I think you will be very please especially at this price. I did not receive the ‘bot I ordered but unlike the one I ordered my model came with virtual wall and remote and programming function. I’m so glad they sent this one to me. My Feisty puppy loves to turn it off so I can turn it back on remotely. I LOVE my new little “maid”. I think you will too.

I’ve been using my new vacuum and mop robot for a few weeks now. Overall the vacuum cleans the floor nicely and quietly.Battery life: I’ve mostly used it in the vacuum mode and the battery lasts almost 2 hours, which is very good. I cannot vouch for the battery life in the mopping mode.Vacuuming quality: corners, baseboards and floors overall are vacuumed well of dust, hair and dirt.The robot has random moving patterns, but if I let it work the 2 hours it vacuums well my 600 sq ft floor. Usually when I’m about to leave the house I get the area ready by removing all light rugs and lifting cables and pet toys and then on the way out I turn the robot on so that it cleans the floor while I’m gone. I have not used the remote yet, I just use the buttons on the robot itself.This vacuum is white and does not mark the white baseboards when it hits them. Super.Mopping quality: As the photos show, the moving patterns of the robot are very random and I would rather it went on parallel lines. The mopping is probably not this robot’s forte (and maybe it’s not any robot’s forte). The small mop gets dirty soon and you need to remove it, clean it and replace it. If you want a light clean, then I guess it’s fine.Stairs: the robot stops on the edge and turns around. It does not fall down.Noise level: It’s quieter than my previous robot from Roomba and this is a very important characteristic for me as there’s always guests in my home and I need to be considerate of noise levels.Cleaning the robot: To empty the dust drawer you need to remove the filter and dump the dirt. To empty the water drawer is quite easy.Impressive: I was impressed to open the box the robot came in and find replacement parts for the bristles and also for the filter. That’s gonna be really helpful.CONS:The instruction manual recommends never leaving the full water drawer in the robot if not using the robot as it would spill water on the floor. That’s a little complicated, because sometimes the mopping robot will get stuck on a rug or object on the floor and not move. I guess there’s the chance the water would get spilled and make a mess. I think this could be an aspect of this robot that needs fixing.Another aspect I would expect the robot to improve is the moving patterns that can be less random.Overall I’m very happy with the purchase.

Do ponto estético ele é lindo, compacto, não é muito pesado, as texturas são boas de segurar e não dão a impressão de que vai cair nem arranhar. A qualidade é ótima.Quanto a barulho, é o aspirador mais silencioso que eu já tive. Não é uma vassoura, é um aspirador de pó, eles fazem algum barulho, não existe milagre. Da pra ver tv ou falar no telefone com ele funcionando sem problema nenhum.Ele é baixinho, cabe embaixo de todas as camas box do apartamento, cabe até embaixo do fogão. Os bigodinhos são ótimos reste a parede especialmente, e a sucção dele pega toda a poeira bem fininha, é incrível. Ele só não gosta de tapete muito fino, pois as rodas enroscam, ou tapetes muito peludos, pois os bigodinhos enrolam e prendem.Quanto a cabelo longo, ele pega bem, sim, mas também enroscam nos bigodinhos, não me deu nenhum problema, nada que uma tesoura pequenininha não tire em segundos, recomendo fazer toda vez que esvaziar o reservatório, que é bem fácil e leva menos de 2 minutos.Eu esvaziou a cada uso. Tenho deixado ele limpar 3 vezes por semana, todo o apartamento, 3 cômodos + cozinha e varanda, ele limpa tudo em uma única carga de bateria, me surpreendeu. Fica tudo limpíssimo.Leva algumas horas, mas ele passa quando não estou em casa então não faz diferença pra mim. A cobertura dele é excelente, não reparei nenhum ponto sem ter passado, a função de mapeamento que ele não tem só serve pra ser mais rápido, se pra você não importa, o resultado vai ser o mesmo.Só deixo ele passar pano na cozinha, funciona muito bem mas fico supervisionando pois se ele agarrar por algum motivo, a água continua saindo, isso pode acabar entrando nele, então deixo e fico de olho, é bem rápido então não é nada de mais.Eu realmente, com um mês de uso, não tenho do que reclamar.Espero que continue assim por mais um ou 2 anos.
