Reviewed by @Bamabelle on Amazon. "Firstly, I would have given this 5 stars except of the non-compatibility of the app with a tablet. Therefore, I can't comment on the wi-fi or mapping ability. But (and I'm sure Amazon is breathing a sigh of relief as I've returned quite a few robot vacuums), based purely on the performance, I'm keeping this one. I own a Shark IQ self empty. As I have dogs, my first floor is divided in two parts with baby gates. I use the shark in the larger ...part and find the self empty feature just too convenient to part with. I didn't want to invest that much money in the smaller part of the first floor so looked for a more budget friendly option; therefore I decided to try the iLife. Honestly, at this price point, I don't believe you'll find a better robot. The remote is quite adequate to run the robot. The suction is very good. The navigation is on par with the Shark. It finds it's way to the base; or at least has so far, doesn't get stuck and doesn't clog. On max, it vacuums far long enough to clean the smaller part of the first floor and even goes back for a second go which leaves very few missed spots, if any. The voice notification is a bonus. Because of the filtration system, I don't find the filter gets as dirty and I don't see having to replace it soon. The dustbin is an adequate size and it does a good job on the area rugs. I sent a couple of robots back because they were unable to navigate the rugs (height). Again, no problem with the iLife. It also circles around chair legs rather than bumping into them then changing direction as another robot did. It was packed impressively and included two extra brushes and an extra filter. The machine seems very sturdily built and recharges quickly. Reading over this, I'm not sure why I kept the Shark, lol. If they ever make a self empty version of this robot, I'm in. I did want to note that neither robot with the camera navigation beat the navigation capabilities of the one I tried with the laser navigation. Alas, I sent the laser navigation one back also because it couldn't handle the 1/2" rise with the area rugs." SHOP ON AMAZON:
