ILIFE V3s Pro Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Tangle-Free Suction, Slim, Automatic Self-Charging Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, Daily Schedule Cleaning, Ideal for Pet Hair，Hard Floor and Low Pile Carpet

I have had my robot friend, Simon, for a week. First impressions upon opening the box was an “Oooo Aahhh”. The directions said to let your new robot friend charge overnight before first use, but of course, I ran him around immediately to just see how he works! He worked for about ten minutes. I couldn’t figure out how to get him to his home (charging station), but it turns out, he can find his own way home just fine. I recommend that you do take a few minutes to read the directions and familiarize yourself with the remote. It took about 4 hours or so for Simon to fully charge, then I turned him loose. Let me just say, I thought my floors were clean, or, at least, pretty clean. As it turns out, they were not. They were not clean at all. Simon has picked up so much fur, dirt, dust, it’s unbelievable. My floors have literally never looked better! They are CLEAN. For real clean. I’ve always had a hard time cleaning under the bed, but now I don’t have to worry about it at all, because my robot friend takes care of it. I have all hardwood floors and tile. I also have a few throw rugs, some thick, some thin. Simon does a perfect job on the floors, and has no problems navigating over the throw rugs (though he might turn up a corner, but he will run back over it and still get it clean). I don’t think your robot friend would work very well if you have a lot of or mostly carpet. If you have hardwood or mostly hardwood, you will love your new robot friend. Simon mostly gets from room to room okay – the “up” entry points he cannot do on his own. For example, he cannot get over the hump into my kitchen, but he can get down the hump. He also cannot get over the hump to get in the bathrooms. This is actually fine for me, because I prefer to control when he goes into the kitchen anyway so that I can shake off the rugs and/or pick up the cat food and water bowls and any shoes or other things that might be on the floor. I just put a bar stool in his way to keep him from exiting the kitchen when it’s time for him to clean in the kitchen. Simon will clean for about 3 or 3.5 hours. He does not have a “plan” so to speak, not like a person would say go from corner to the center of the room, but he is still very thorough, and obviously, his plan is way better than mine since my floors are so much cleaner than they ever were when I was in charge. My advice is to just trust the process and let your robot friend find his way around on his own! Just make sure that you pick up any cords, especially small cords like phone charging cords, and shoe laces or the like, so that he doesn’t accidentally grab onto something he shouldn’t. Simon also has sensors so that when he comes to a piece of furniture or a wall, he will slow down so as to gently bump it before he turns off into a new direction. I have also noticed that if he comes into contact with a chair or table leg, he will often go in a circle all the way around the leg to clean around it. Once your robot friend is done doing your dirty work for you, he will go back home on his own. If your robot friend cannot find his way home, you may not have provided him enough space. Is that any way to treat your new best friend?? Make sure that he has several feet of clear space in front of his charging station, and that there are a few feet of clear space on the sides of the charging station as well. Also, make sure to empty out his dust bin after every use. One of the fortunate side effects of having my new robot friend, is the “give a mouse a cookie” effect it seems to have had. Give a person a clean floor, and the person may say oh, it looks so clean in here, let me pick up this shirt and put it away. The person then notices that the bathroom trash can is full; since the floors look so nice, the bathroom should be clean, too *cleans bathroom*, and so on. The only thing about my new robot friend, which isn’t enough to bother me at all, is that he is, well, he’s not super loud, but he’s not very quiet either. So, if you are watching tv, you may need to turn it up just a bit if you are running your robot friend while you’re at home. Well worth it for the service he provides, though. Overall, I do recommend this little robot. I am very pleased with this purchase. If you’re in the market for a robot floor cleaning wizard, don’t hesitate to click that Buy Now button.

I don't think I can begin without first saying... Where has this little guy been my entire adult life? Seriously my fellow citizens, if you have pets and feel like managing hair is an uphill battle, you need this product. Living in our home is 2 adults, a German Shepherd and a cat. Our GS sheds like she gets paid to do it. My usual routine was to vacuum on Wednesday's and Saturday's and most of the time, I would have to pull our the Shark on other days due to all of the hair that my girl dropped on the daily. With the bag-less Shark meant for pets, I would empty the canister 3 times each time I vacuumed, and that is no exaggeration.... I no longer have to pull out the Shark on day's other than my usual Wed and Saturday! IT IS THE BEST! After receiving this guy (haven't named him yet), within the week, I knew I was falling in love. I don't have him set to run every day at the same time, so I run manually when I choose. Let's get to the great things this little guy does for me and a couple of his hiccups: 1. I run him every day (except on Wed/Sat when I Shark vacuum) usually in the evenings when we're home from work. He runs about 2 hours and I stop him twice during that time to clean out the bin. 2. He's taken on, what looks to be 5 different paths in our home. I've never had one before, so I don't know what it would be like to have one that learns the home, but this one works for our needs. He takes a different path each day and then you get a good rotation for the entire week. 3. I only use him on hard-wood and ceramic tile. I don't use him on carpet because I don't think he has the suction to handle that type of job. I let my Shark handle that for me. Again, I have a large GS and a cat. 4. He does go over my normal thickness rugs, but he will not attempt the thick piled run in my living area, nor would I expect him as when he does find his way on the rug - he really has to work to get back down. 5. He will get stuck from time to time under a certain cabinet in my kitchen, guess that's a low spot. I try to watch out for that area. He will also get stuck under my dining room table that seats 6 and is very tight. Usually, he works his way through the areas perfectly, but he has gotten stuck twice under there and turned itself off. 6. Had recently dropped a coffee cup in the kitchen, put him on spot and he cleaned up the small shards nicely. 7. I love to set him to clean around the baseboards - that is a nice option for people with pets because the hair tends to hug the baseboards in high traffic areas like my hallway. Such a quick pick-up when company is coming and you're in a time crunch. 8. He usually always finds his way back to his base. When he fails to find home, it's because I had to purposely move him SEVERAL times for one reason or the other. If I move him once or twice, he still finds home. 9. My dog has zero problem with him, was concerned as she hates the Shark and tries to attack it. This one, doesn't bother her one bit. Our cat is completely infatuated and follows him all over the house. 10. He's not quiet, so you may not be able to nap while it's running. We can still watch TV and have a conversation while he's out doing his cleaning. I hope this review helps others that are on fence. Like I said, I've never owned a robot vac before, so I don't have anything to compare. If you're trying not to spend a fortune and want results, you'll get it with this one. Again, I use for hardwood and ceramic tile floors only. I don't think you would get great results for carpeted floors cleaning up after pets, just my opinion that it's not strong enough to handle that type of job. I love that I'm able to manage the pet hair in my home with this little guy, it totally works for us. This one is relatively inexpensive compared to others on the market. In my opinion, I can't see those other high-dollar brands being that much better to warrant the money.

I owned one of these 20 years ago, probably a first generation make/model. Well, they've come a long way since then, that's for sure. We own two dogs who shed, so much that we have to sweep daily, sometimes twice a day. I had enough and wanted to give these robotic vacuums another chance. Ok, so let me first say that the area we need the vacuum for is about 1000 square feet, all hardwood floors with no breaks or thresholds. We have the living room, family room, dining room, kitchen and breakfast area. Its a relatively open floor plan, so no doors of any sort. The reason I'm explaining this is because its important to understand your space and how these vacuums will work within it. It even says this in the owners manual. I got it out of the box and turned it on right away. I let it roam around while I installed the remote batteries and started reading the manual. I watched this thing work for an hour. First, it has 4 different modes, the main one being the automatic mode. It moves around, does its turns and all that, and when the battery gets low, it finds the charging station. The charging station must be placed against a wall with adequate space on either side and double the space in front of it. About 3 feet on either side and 6 feet in front of open space will be required or else the vacuum will have a hard time finding the station and connecting. This is important if you don't have enough plugs or too much furniture. On auto mode, the vacuum started to work and would make its way under tables, against walls, and go in a straight line until it hits something. It has sensors along the front, so it won't hit anything too hard and even stop before bumping. It also senses if there's a step or drop off. It does a great job of getting itself out of a corner or in between chair legs. It'll bump and turn until it finds its way out. All good with this. It got caught on a thin phone charger cord so it shut down, but it didn't get stuck on thicker extension cords. I would just make sure all cords are off the ground. It also was having an issue with some long drapes, so I had to make sure the curtains were nice and tight against the wall. The vacuum will work an area for a while before it moves on. It kept bumping and turning and just came right back to the same spot. I thought this was going to be a problem but after allowing it to go longer, it eventually left that area and moved onto another. It took about 90 minutes to find the kitchen. It wasn't fully charged out of the box, so once the battery got low, it started its way to the charger. It didn't find it right away, though. It took about 10 minutes and it would go close, bump against something and then go in the opposite direction. Like I said, you need to have open space around the charger. Once docked, I opened the top to clean out the canister. Its small, so it won't hold a ton of debris, but it get a lot of dog hair and dirt. This was my main objective, so it did what I needed it to. I let it charge all night and started it back up in the morning. You can program it to auto start, but I just used the remote because I may want to run it at different times. It worked for two hours and went back to changer. I came home after work and did it again in the evening. My dogs barked at first, but they learned quickly that its not a threat. I will keep using it twice a day and report back if there are any updates. But so far, not bad and it was relatively cheap. *UPDATE 12 DAYS LATER* Since using this device, I have not had to use the broom at all. It has kept our dark hardwood floors clean and dust free. Notes: You can't rely on any of these devices to ever do it all for you. You will have to broom some hard to hit areas sometimes. Each house is different, but I've noticed that it misses some spots here and there, especially hard to get areas like under chairs. Also, its not "learning" your house as other devices may do. This one does not, but its priced on the lower end so I would imagine some higher priced ones have better tech and AI capabilities. The battery life is about 2 hours which sometimes is not enough for our house. Because it lingers in certain areas and hits it over and over again, it eats up battery life and doesn't get to clear the entire space in one shot. We tried running it once a day but I think twice is better for our house.

SECOND UPDATE - ILIFE has some great customer service. I sent an email about the problem I described below and within 24 hrs I heard back from them. They asked for some basic ordering and product information, which I provided. Today I got an email saying hey are replacing the unit at no cost to me due to the unexpected cliff sensor failure. I'm a happy camper, again. I'd recommend this vac and this company. I'm impressed with their prompt response to my needs and I'm looking forward to having Sidney back in action. UPDATE- Well, it turns out Sidney had a death wish. He took a leap from my main floor to the lower level under the railing on the staircase. The 'cliff sensors' apparently did not work. I had worried about him going down the stairs so I put something in front but there are two pieces of railing on opposite sides of the spiral stair case and he got under and flew down to the floor. It cracked the bumper piece and while the unit still runs, it now keeps trying to climb the walls and furniture and gets stuck every few minutes, so it's essentially useless unless I can get it fixed or replaced. It hadn't happened the first few times I used it so I thought it was safe to not block that opening. I sent an email to the manufacturer (No answer when I tried calling) but haven't heard back. I'm not sure if this is a defect or just bad luck. I still like the concept of this type vacuum so I'll get another one with barrier strips from another company - I'm not wanting to spend the 500 to 600 dollars to get one with a virtual wall but I am willing to spend a little more because I now know I like not having to vacuum and dust myself and that they essentially do a good job. I'll be blocking the stairwell and railings with the next one. I still think this would be a great vac for someone wanting an entry level vac but who doesn't have stairs or drop-offs on the floor plan. I've never had a robot vac before but have been looking at them for awhile. I didn't want to spend $300 plus on something I may not like (I have a vacuum grave yard in my house for all the vacuums I've purchased but don't love (including Dyson). Anyway - this little guy was on sale on Prime Day for about $110.00 and I thought it would be worth it to purchase it as an entry level vac to see if I liked the results. I'm pleased to report that I was surprised, delighted and horrified by the amount of hair and dust it picked up on it's first run. I had just dusted the day before but was anxious to see how it worked and let me tell you this little guy (I call him Sidney) was worth every penny. My house is very open and I have a spiral staircase from the main floor to the basement. I was worried about him falling down the stairs but he just kind of tried to go on the stairs then backed off. I put a air cleaner in front, though, just to be sure after the first attempt. I have floor registers and he got hung up on one but then maneuvered over the others just fine. He did wander into my spare room, which is carpeted. I didn't think he'd be able to work in there , the carpet is a deeper pile than the area rug in the living room - but her made a few passes but then stalled on the register in there, which is an older metal one that sits up high He made all the transitions from room to room if there was a lip at the door. I basically only used him on the wood floors but I do have an area rug in the living room and he navigated that just fine. In fact he fit under the couch and cleaned up there. I can't tell you the last time I pulled it out because its awkward and I don't have help. Yesterday, I put him in the bedroom upstairs, picked up everything on the floor and set him loose and closed the door for about 90 minutes and he picked up so much dust and hair from the bedroom and bathroom floor, it was amazing. . I'm pleased as punch, my floors never looked cleaner. When I do it manually there are little bits of dirt left behind but Sidney didn't leave a one. One thing I did do was pick up everything, fans, ottomans, trash cans, etc off the floor and it was so much easier for him to make his passes. So, if you are looking for an entry level robot vac I would highly recommend this one

Does pretty well on hard floor, but doesn't pick up much in carpeted area. Vacuum also has preferred areas of the house every time it runs and areas it completely misses everytime, it's especially obsessed with cleaning under the couch, not sure if there's a way to re-program it. I've yet to have it return to the dock when the battery is low, I have to physically return it and then baby-sit it as it likes to randomly start up again after the battery has a bit of charge.

Purchased the iLife v3s pro at end of November, 2021 on Black Friday sale. So it has had daily use for 2 months. I had soured on robot vacuums after going through 2 expensive iRobot vacs 7-8 years ago that got pet hair hopelessly entangled in its main brush gears and constant hangups under chairs. The iLife caught my attention first because of the low price and the high customer ratings. My interest piqued when I read that it had no central brush, just two counter-rotating side brushes. Simple design. One thing that did work well on the iRobots was their single side brushes, which had few issues. The iLife having 2 seemed like a good idea. I have a super shedder Golden. Reviews confirmed that this did great on pet hair. So I sprung for this vacuum, and so glad I did. I programmed the schedule for it to run automatically every morning before I get up to clean a large great room, kitchen with a table rug with short tassels and runner along the island, attached mud/laundry, an entry with a thick rug, and a long hallway. The v3s bin is full every day, mostly with hair, but also a lot of small crumbs and fine dust. It’s pretty impressive what it picks up, actually. It climbs up the entry rug, which is almost and inch thick, with no problem. It has never tumbled down the staircase near the entry. Sometimes the side brushes catch a corner of the kitchen rugs, but the vac does a maneuver where it rotates 90 degrees and goes to one side or the other and disentangles from the raised rug. I never have to intervene. It does well on the carpet in the great room. All of the rugs are very low pile, and the carpet is medium pile. I don’t know how it would handle shag rugs or carpet. It does dishevel the kitchen table rug tassels a bit. You do have to tie up electrical chords a few inches off the floor, and it did get hung up a few times on the Christmas tree skirt. If you let it run, it cleans for about 1.5 hours and returns to the charger. The return is hit and miss. But I found about an hour is long enough, so after that time I pick up the unit, take it over to the hallway down which the charger is located, aim it at the charger and push the start button to start it on its way. After a few seconds I press the Home button on the remote and it reliably finds its way back and starts charging. All of that takes about 15 seconds. Daily 5 minute or less maintenance involves wiping dust from the front and back screens with a wet paper towel or kleenex, and emptying the dust bin. When I dump the dust bin, I take out the main filter and tap it clean against the inside of the garbage can. I tap the open dust bin gently against the garbage can to dislodge dust from the fine filter. Every few days I take the fine filter out and tap it against the inside of the garbage can to dislodge even more fine dust. I haven’t replaced the fine dust filter yet, but I did buy a box of 10 from iLife on Amazon, which I think will be about a 2 year or more supply. After about 6 weeks I noticed some fuzz coming from underneath the bases of the side brushes. They were easy to unscrew and both had dog hair and lint wound around the stem of the brushes that was easy to pull out. No hair down in the gears. This took about 5 minutes and will probably be needed on a fairly regular basis. Does it clean perfectly? No, but almost. Along the kitchen runner where it has one wheel up on the rug and one wheel on the wood floor, it misses a few crumbs that I have to pick up with a broom or my Dyson. Occasionally there is a crumb that I wet a finger and pick up by hand. Now and then the corners need to be cleaned by hand. But overall it has almost eliminated the need to vacuum regularly. Bottom line, I love this thing. Praying that it holds up long term.

I never write reviews. But this vacuum is amazing. I recently had the Tikom vacuum (same type of vacuum) and it worked great at my old house which was mainly carpet. I moved into an house that is all tile and it was constantly spitting out my dog’s hair. This ILife vacuum doesn’t have a brush, so no risk of the vacuum stopping due to being tangled in pet hair. I am genuinely shocked by how well this works. I took it out of the box and clicked the “on” button and it’s been running for at least 2 hours now with no issue. BUY IT!!!! It’s great.

I've had this for about an hour and I love it already! I do wish ithad more cleaning settings but it gets the job done! We have a long hair cat and live in the mountains, so far it handles pet hair and pinecone pieces very well! We have a huge lip in the flooring that I was worried it would get stuck on, but honestly it can get over pretty much anything that gets in its way, so careful what you leave out lol. It does need help finding the charging station which is frustrating, but overall for the price it's very good

Es una maravilla, le he regalado una a cada uno de mis hijos Muy bien de precio y súper efectiva

Facil de usar, funciona excelente, supero mis expectativas de limpieza, podría decir que aspira practicamente igual de bien q mi aspiradora convencional (de una marca muy reconocida) solo por las esquinas q obviamente no aspira pero personalmente no es un problema, solo saco la basura de las esquinas y la dejo lista para q la aspire. No sigue un mapa o un patrón pero la dejo aspirando mientras hago otras cosas y despues de un rato reviso y si falto algúna área la firijo con el control y listo. Aspira cabello largo y anque se enreda a veces en los cepillos, no le afecta en el desempeño sin embargo si cuido que se mantengan libres mientras aspira para evitar q vayan a dañarse. Muy satisfecha con la compra Edité esta receña hoy 27 de enero de 2022 pues ya tengo año y medio con mi aspiradora dandole un uso casi diario y no ha dejado de funcionar, ni ha bajado de calidad su desempeño, pero cada vez q la voy a usar me aseguro se q este vacío el depósito, limpio bien los filtros con el cepillo q trae incluido, los cepillos los retiro para quitar el cabello q pueda estar enredado y listo la pongo a trabajar (nada de esto es complicado ni bromoso de hacer, es rapido y no te lleva más de 5 minutos) y cada 4 meses cambio el filtro HEPA (el blanco). ASI QUE SIN NINGUNA DUDA LA SUPER RECOMIENDO Compra hecha el 23 de Junio de 2019 y a la fecha 25 de Agosto 2023 sigue funcionando excelente siguiendo los cuidados mencionados anteriormente.

I've been using the robot vacuum for two weeks and I'm amazed by it! I have long black hair that sheds a lot. Throughout my life, I've had to constantly vacuum and pick my hair off the floor by hand. I had considered a robot vacuum before but expected I'd have to regularly cut hair off the brush like I have to do with my regular vacuum. I recently went in search of a robot vacuum that sucked hair off the floor without having it get tangled in a brush and the iLife was my first choice. I thought because it was a budget-friendly vacuum that it wouldn't be this good, but I was wrong. What you get for the price is incredible! My floors has never been this bare; totally free of hair, dust, and crumbs! It catches everything! Even goes under my furniture, which I'm super lazy at cleaning. There are some cons, but I still give it 5 stars for its unexpected capability given the price. #1 Pro: It vacuums hard floors perfectly without your having to lift a finger. No more hair, dust, crumbs! Minor Cons: - The sensor could be improved. Remote is not sensitive. I.e. You have to be fairly close and pointing at the vacuum with the remote. Often have to press it a few times before the command is registered. -Also, presumably, a sensor problem: The vacuum struggles to "return home" when you press that button on the remote. Even if it registers the command, it'll wander aimlessly...even if it's right beside the dock to return home. I called iLife customer service about this and they said that there has to be at least 6 feet of free space in front of the dock. If you live in Toronto, in a 450 sq ft apartment, that's a difficult ask. The robot has to have a clear view of the dock because the sensor is not smart. I was told that it also won't find the home dock if there's a dark coloured rug in the way. I have a white and grey rug near the dock (2 feet away). CS said my rug shouldn't be a problem, but it is. I did a test by removing the rug and it was able to find home more often (although, still not always). This con is a very small one imo, so I just have to physically move the robot back to its dock when it's done. No biggie! -Hair does get caught in the sweepers and it'll stop and go into error mode when this happens. This is also a super small con because all you have to do is turn it over and pull them out of the sweepers, then restart it. Compared to using scissors to cut through a mountain of rolled up hair in a traditional vacuum, this is a miracle! -It does climb on my rugs (and this impressed me because I wasn't expecting it to), but it's not great on them. I knew this going in because the vacuum suction is not as powerful as you'd find on more expensive robot vacuums made for carpeted floors/rugs (I compared). I bought it specifically for hair on my hardwood, so if that's your purpose too, this does the perfectly! The pros trump all the cons. I 💯highly recommend this for anyone with long hair that sheds a lot!
