5.0 out of 5 stars Best Robot Vacuum I’ve Ever Used – A Game Changer for Busy Families!

A. · April 10, 2025

If I could give this robot vacuum 10 stars, I absolutely would! As a busy working mom and wife, anything that can save me time and eliminate tasks from my to-do list is a total win in my book. This vacuum does so much more than just clean—it vacuums, mops, empties itself, and even lets me know when it’s time for maintenance. It’s truly a hands-off cleaning solution!I’ve set up a cleaning schedule that works perfectly for my family’s routine: vacuuming on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday, and a vacuum and mop combo on Tuesday and Thursday. The app is incredibly user-friendly, allowing me to easily adjust the order of the rooms or change the schedule whenever needed. I love the flexibility!One of my favorite features is the robot’s ability to take pictures of its surroundings while cleaning. It’s like having an extra set of eyes on the floor! I’ve discovered a lost shoe under the couch and several dog toys under the bed that I hadn’t even realized were there. It’s fun and surprisingly practical.Another huge perk is how this vacuum avoids obstacles—my previous robot vacuums would get stuck on cords or furniture, but this one has never tangled or caused issues. It simply navigates around things with ease, so I don’t have to worry about constant interruptions.I’ve tried several other robot vacuums, but this one has far exceeded my expectations. It’s by far the best I’ve used and is now a must-have in my home. If you’re looking for a reliable, efficient, and smart vacuum, look no further!I would love to try their pool vacuum but will need to save up a few more pennies for that purchase!

I use this on the main level of my home. Over 800 sq ft of tile and 600 sq ft of carpet.I’m basing this review on how well it cleans.Honestly, my floors have never been this clean.And using a smart vacuum/mop like this one has me using floor robots again.I have now used the robot to clean the entire main level of the house at least 20 times.Previous robots have frequently gotten stuck on objects, cords, towels, socks, almost anything on the floor.And in all of the times I’ve used the X.40 it got stuck exactly once.In my experience this is exceptional. Also, and this is important, I had turned off collision avoidance which makes the X 40 more sensitive to obstacles but keeps it a little further away from walls, etc. I think if collision avoidance had been turned on it would not have ever become stuck.Why am I using robot vacuums again? I do not have to run around making sure there is absolutely nothing on the floor that a robot could get stuck on, but instead can just turn it loose and be confident that it will do the right thing. I do not come home and find that a robot got stuck early in the cleaning process and my floors are still dirty. The X 40 just does the right thing. For me this is a game changer. Literally. I tell it to clean, leave the house, and come back to clean floors. It’s awesome.If I leave the house and forget to tell it to clean, I can use the app on my cell phone from anywhere to control it. Also great.For the combination of floors I have described I set the very customizable mop wetness to almost maximum and tell it to clean the mops every 10 minutes. (it washes them! It doesn’t just spread dirty water around the floor when mopping!)With these settings it is able to complete the cleaning without refilling the water or emptying the dirty water.Another thing I very much like about this vacuum/mop is that my carpets never get wet or damp. You can configure the robot to drop the mops at the base station before it cleans carpet! Previous robots, although they lift the mops, have still dampened some of the thicker area rugs.In fact, the ability to drop the mops before cleaning carpet is one of the reasons I bought the X 40 instead of other well reviewed robots.The “clean genius“ setting does a good job. I have also set up Shortcuts that allow me to specify exactly what settings to use on a per room basis. If the kitchen floor is particularly messy after complex cooking, I use a shortcut to do repeated intensive cleaning.Previous robots have been a nuisance in that they took a lot of maintenance between cleanings: wash the pads, empty the vacuum bin, clean the brushes.Another game changer: the X40 returns to the base at a customizable frequency, where it empties the vacuum bin, automatically discharges the dirty water, refills the clean water, and actually washes the mop pads. With no intervention from me!Instead of depending on me to intervene and empty the vacuum bin and wash the pads, the vacuum takes care of everything.It even washes the base station!My chores? No vacuuming. No mopping. If the floors are bad I just tell the robot to clean two or three times.All I have to do? Tap out the filter to clear out the fine dust and dust bunnies. (You can also wash the filter and let it dry). Empty the dirty water and clean the dirty water tank by spraying it with my kitchen sink sprayer. Refill the clean water tank. Put the tanks back in the base and walk away.The entire routine takes less than 10 minutes, and aside from handling the water tanks, which takes three or four minutes, I only do the full routine every three or four cleanings.Also, the brush roller is very easy to service. The end caps remove and any string or hair that is wrapped around the axle can just be pulled off. Much easier than my previous robot which was very much a nuisance to detangle.The software is extensively customizable. The one thing I will say about the software is that although I have been able to customize the behavior of the robot to a great degree, the software is sometimes not easy to use.The options are there, but the language used is sometimes confusing and options can be difficult to find and interpret. I trust this is a work in progress.Despite the use of the software occasionally being difficult to figure out, for me this is well compensated by the very extensive customizability.All in all, I love having clean floors. I very much appreciate the independence of this robot, it’s ability to take care of itself; the tiny amount of time it requires from me; the extensive customizability; the ability to remotely control the robot; the locator function (makes it beep); and the onboard camera that tells me where things are.I like the X40 so much that I bought the very similar but less expensive X 30 for my downstairs.I also bought an X 30 for my college daughter, who also loves her clean floors.She also loves that her cats are not afraid of it. Her previous robot vacuum was not usable after she got cats. To navigate it just bumped off of things and I think the random movement frightened the cats. It was unpredictable.The X 40 and X 30 map the rooms and go back-and-forth in rows and columns very predictably and very efficiently. The cats are fine with itAlso, if a cat comes over and is curious and stands in front of it the vacuum turns away and avoids the pet. It’s very pet friendly.All of the positives have completely overwhelmed the minor complaints I have about the sometimes difficult software.I should also note that just right out of the box I used the clean genius setting and the robot did a very very good job.Unless you are a tinkerer like me I think the automatic settings are much more than adequate.Lots of praise and very very few complaints.I don’t think I realized how much I like this vacuum/mop until I started writing this review, which I had intended to be very brief.I forgot to mention the very responsive customer support!

1.0 out of 5 stars Multiple issues. Works OK but not great. -- IPHONE APP NOW BROKEN!

I'll say to begin with that I use this in a high-end garage that has tile floor. I got clean the floor each week, in a place where floors typically fairly dirty. Before cleaning, I use the leaf blower to clean debris as much as possible, then put the vacuum / mop to work. Issues I have:1. The dust bin doesn't self-clean and gets full quickly -- I clean it after every vacuum. I thought it would self-empty the dust, but it does NOT do this. I believe most people will have to empty / clean the dust bin each time they run the vacuum. For reference, I have a different brand vacuum/mop for indoors, cleaning hair from two cats. The indoor unit captures more debris than the X40 does, so I don't think the floor it is cleaning is all that dirty.2. The mop heads installation fails EVERY SINGLE TIME. I have it set to vacuum, then mop, and the thing errors out in the middle when it goes to install the mops. I have to do it manually. There is no "resume" function at this point, so I have to re-program the unit to mop with no vacuum -- having a "resume" would be better.All told, it takes 5-10 minutes to get the X40 to clean the floor, with half of that time 90 minutes after it stalls out (to manually install the mops). This is versus my expectation that it might be able to clean multiple times with no manual intervention -- not even close! Hence the 2-star rating.The floor ends up mostly clean, but a manual mop works better, and this is with the mop set to the wettest setting, and doing the deepest possible clean. So that is disappointing as well.If I had it to do over again, I'd either try another high-end mop/vacuum unit from another company, or just get a lower-end unit since the mop doesn't work that well. Would not buy this one again.EDIT: changing my review to 1-star. The app that I have stopped working, and without that the vacuum is useless to me. When I bring up the app, the screen comes up and is blank, I have not been able to fix this. There is no app update due, and if this is caused by Dreamhome servers being down, they have been down for 4+ hours. I'm going to try uninstalling & reinstalling the app. But for a $1200+ vacuum I should not have to be doing this!

EXCELENTE ROBOT

Siempre había dudado en adquirir un robot aspiradora, vi una oferta en este X40 Ultra y sin dudas ha valido la pena.Deja mas limpio que si lo hiciéramos mi esposa y yo jajaja. Su configuración es bastante sencilla y no tengo que hacer mas que rellenar el agua limpia y tirar la sucia, tenemos un Border Collie y es excelente para los pelos que tira, producto muy recomendado. No se porque no lo había comprado antes, es una muy buena inversión y te ahorra un montón de tiempo.

Muy buena !!

Génial!! Es muy práctica, me ayuda a mantener la casa limpia, con hijos que entrenan a diario es un desafío, la amo!!

Los pisos están más limpios ahora que cuando los limpiabamos nosotros.

J.C.D. · July 23, 2025

The media could not be loaded. Tengo una semana con este aparato.Lo.compramos porque nuestra casa es grande. Y tiene 3 plantas.Somos 2 adultos mayores y la persona que nos ayudaba con el aseo dejo de venir.Mi opinión:la configuración del equipo fue muy sencilla, solo hay que leer el manual antes y seguir las instrucciones al pie de la letra.Una vez hecho eso la probamos y quedamos sorprendidos.Puedo decir con certeza que los pisos de la casa nunca habían estado tan limpios como en esta semana.La programe para que haga la limpieza 3 dias a la semana, en planta baja y 2 veces a la semana la subo para que haga la planta alta.Estamos muy satisfechos con los resultados.Estoy pensando comprar una más para la planta alta.Y no subir y bajar el robot.Creo que necesito estudiar más sus modos de uso para sacarle más provecho.Seguiremos probando y decidiremos en el periodo de prueba. Pero hoy puedo decir que estsmos totalmente satisfechos.

Excelente compra

Es una excelente compra, aspira y trapea bastante bien y la verdad que si se ve una diferencia cuando hace la limpieza. Aparte no necesitas limpiarla muy seguido, pero recomendable limpiarla a profundidad para evitar que se llene de polvo y no haga bien su trabajo. La verdad es que si la compraría otra vez.

La mejor del segmento que he probado.

J.L. · June 9, 2025

No sirve bien para trapear manchas viejas, pero por lo general hace muy bien el trabajo. Vale lo que cuesta. Le daría 4 estrellas y media pero no hay esa opción, doy 4 estrellas porque creo que por ahora es la mejor en su tipo.
