I recently purchased the V3s Pro robotic vacuum, and it has exceeded my expectations for the price range. It’s an ideal vacuum if you have pets, as it does a fantastic job picking up pet hair and dirt around the house. One of the best features is its quiet operation—my cats aren’t scared of it, which is a big win!The suction power is impressive, and it returns to its charger automatically when needed. Scheduling cleanings is also very convenient, especially for those busy days when you don’t have time to vacuum yourself. It shuts off safely if it gets stuck, which I appreciate since it saves battery life and prevents wear on the motor.While it operates in a random cleaning pattern, it manages to clean around 90% of the room if left on for a while, which is sufficient for my needs. It occasionally misses a few spots, especially in the middle of the room, and can get hung up on cords or lighter carpets. But as long as you move any potential obstacles, it works smoothly.Overall, for the price, it’s an excellent, low-maintenance addition to my home, keeping the floors much cleaner with minimal effort. Highly recommend it for pet owners or anyone looking for a budget-friendly robot vacuum!

To start, this is a great robo-vacuum. I can't even remember how long ago I bought it, maybe five years ago. It has worked great. We're still on the original brushes and battery after running nearly daily for the life of ownership. It's not the most powerful robo-vacuum on the market and it doesn't do great if there is a large step up from hardwood floor to carpet (>0.5"), but for the cost and lifespan, this thing has more than paid for itself with time saved vacuuming.To note, we have a dog and two young kids. The vacuum runs daily and its bin is filled to the max daily. Point is, it gets a workout and keeps on going. PS - my son (2 years old) loves casing this thing around - great distraction.Cons/maintenance:- Minor - but - the on/off button on the top of the vacuum is ever so slightly taller than the rest of the unit resulting in the button getting bumped as it passes under some furniture causing the unit to turn itself off. This happens once a week or so.- As noted above, this vacuum seems to have issues with hardwood floor to carpet transitions. It'll drive off the edge of the carpet no problem but the front bumper doesn't have the ground clearance to let the unit drive up onto the carpet. We have padding under our carpets so they are taller than usual area rugs (~0.5").- maintenance item: clean the sensors! I clean the sensors weekly and it seems to resolve some of the nuisance faults. Be sure to get all of them as there are a number that are hidden/hard to reach.- maintenance item: clean the main roller brush, including take the little square rubber mount off the one end to clean the metal spindle. That thing gets super wound with hair causing brush faults.The only "major" issue I've had is that one of the internal bearings seized a few weeks back (again, after 5 years of use). The bearing is located on the main brush drive so it sees all the fine dust that gets kicked up when running. It's a common bearing size that any DIY-er can source from Grainger (Part # 35JA77). So if you randomly start getting four beep faults (brush fault), check that bearing. $6 later and it's back to running like new.And not to sound like an old high school shop teacher, but read the manual. Every light and beep the thing makes is telling you something. Makes diagnosing faults much easier/faster and saves you frustration.Overall, definitely worth the cost.December 2023 - still going strong. I think we’re 8 years in at this point and it still works as intended. My son has thrown it and tried to ride it a few times and it keeps going. We did have one of the sweeper motors fail about a month ago but $10 later in Amazon, some soldering, and back in business! Truly the mechanic’s special! Love it! Why spend $1,000 on a Roomba when you can spend $99 on this?!?!Get it!

Product is good, however ending up using the edge cleaning mode and remote to guide the robot to clean areas. Its good if each area is enclosed to perform auto cleaning at your speed n convenience.

Amazing product! I do not like the idea of domestic help as the wages are not regulated and do not know if the prevailing rates are fair. Thus, I clean my apartment on my own. At times, it becomes tough due to extreme work pressure and time constraints. I came across the robot and purchased it. I can tell you that my apartment is always clean now and with almost 20% efforts.Pros. Effective, programmable, easy to use, easy to clean, quiet operation, has a cute personality:)Cons. NothingAll in all... Full value for money.

Value for money, took the dive into these cleaning machines since I was frustrated with the cleaning lady who would complete cleaning a room in less than 30s.The first time I ran this around ( post the perceived clean lady), I was surprised by the amount of dust it could collect. I now use this regularly in the eve and ensure my kids sleep in a clean room with no dust breathing through the night. On an average it takes 20 minutes to clean a 250sft bedroom ( just a estimate) and the end of it the room was quite clean ( verified by using actual vacuum cleaner).As expected we need to primer the room by clearing the room from all big objects (like toys, pens, etc) before you run the bot ( it did pick up some chalks from under the bed which my girl lost 3 months ago 😀.The bot does require some attention like cleaning the brushes after every round of cleaning and emptying the bags but this is least I could do for a clean room.Moving from one room to another was not consistent but I prefer putting the bot in one room with closed doors and allow it to do magic for about 20 min before moving it to the next room.For now 5 stars will revisit this comment in a few weeks and actual usage

I bought a Roomba 606 before i got this. The 606 worked fine and i was quite happy with its performance till it started acting up after a week or so. No battery charge was it's problem. Returned it and got the iLife A4s although i was skeptical about the brand.This things works great. Is much much quieter than the Roomba 606, and has a handy remote.Removes more dirt and pet hair (two dogs), than i could ever with a broom. The dogs always bring in loads of dirt and debri and the iLife cleans it up without any problem. Comes with a cleaning brush and two extra rotating sweepers, and opening and emptying out the bin is a snap. well designed and well built for the price. Have not tried it on carpet as don't have one.Highly recommended given the price and performance.

This is my best purchase ever on Amazon! I have thought of getting an iRobot/Roomba for the longest but was always put off by the price. At less than $200, the iLife seemed like a great value, since it comes with a 12 month warranty and it seems like the company stands by their warranty, based on past reviews. Even if I use it everyday and it happens to stop working on the 366th day, I wouldn't be that upset because that's less than $0.60/day for 1 year of use. I could live with that.I chose to go with the iLife because others have said it works on carpet. I live in a 1 bedroom apartment with a mix of medium pile carpet and tile floors. I received the vacuum last night and followed it around the house on it's first journey out of the box. It moves a bit slower over my carpet compared to the tile, but other than that it had no problems getting around. I was impressed with the wheels on it because it was able to easily maneuver over the slight incline in between doorways. Yes it is not as smart as more expensive models with floorplan mapping, dirt sensors, etc. but I just let it do its own thing and it eventually managed to thoroughly clean all rooms in my apartment and return to the base on its own.As far as navigation and edge detection, it seems to do a pretty good job of avoiding obstacles and furniture. It does seem to have more trouble detecting dark furniture as it seems to bump into them much harder, but not bad enough to damage them. I was afraid that it would get stuck under my dining table and chair legs, but with enough trial and error it eventually found its way out.The unit is also easy to clean out and seems to have pretty good suction. Even having recently vacuumed with my Dyson upright, this thing managed to pick up a ton of dust and my long hairs. I also like that the unit is quiet. It is even quieter on carpet. I could probably run the vacuum while I am sleeping.All in all, I am super impressed with this model given its low price point. I will continue to update my review as time goes on.(4/9/2018 Update): for those who have trouble with the robot returning to base, it needs to be placed in a central location with enough clearance around (but mostly in front) of it. When it is returning to base, it will not know which direction to go. It moves around randomly until it is in the vicinity of the base, and then it will recognize that is it there and it will hone in on it. So the base should ideally be placed in the center of the home layout with at least 4 feet of space in front of it.
