Life with it
Months in, owners with pets and hard floors describe running it daily or twice a day and still being impressed with how clean the floors stay. Several describe it as a workhorse for busy multi-pet households. The self-cleaning roller keeps mopping quality high without babysitting, which is the main reason people say they'd choose it again over other robots on hard flooring.
The adjustment is on carpet and edges: performance there is described as only slightly above average, and a few owners note it doesn't hug baseboards as tightly as newer competitors. Firmware updates also make some owners nervous. A couple mention hesitating to install them after seeing others report new issues post-update.
Reliability & repairs
The reliability picture is split. A good number of owners report units failing outright (stopping with error codes, leaking water, or clogging), sometimes within weeks and sometimes after many months of good performance. Several describe going through multiple replacement units for the same recurring fault, and one owner nearly two years in says a filter-clogging issue has been getting worse over time.
When something does go wrong, the fix is almost always a replacement unit rather than a repair, and getting that replacement is the sticking point owners complain about most: slow support responses, being asked to ship the broken unit back before a replacement ships, or being told stock is unavailable. Long-term accounts do exist (the two-year Kickstarter backer, for instance) but they're a small slice of the total; most detailed reliability reports here cover the first year of ownership.
