ILIFE V2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Tangle-Free Suction, White

Not reliably. The ILIFE V2 often has trouble finding its charging base unless the dock sits in open space with room around it, and some end up carrying it close before sending it home. Put the dock against a clear wall away from furniture to give it the best chance.

Yes, on hard floors. With shedding dogs and cats, daily runs of the V2 keep hair and dust under control between full vacuums, mostly on hardwood and tile. The tangle-free suction port keeps hair from wrapping, but the 0.3-liter bin fills fast in a heavy-shedding home.

At random. The V2 has no mapping, so it roams and bumps its way around, which means it can go over one room twice and miss another. If you know that going in, it's fine for daily upkeep, and closing doors keeps it in one area until that room is done.

Yes, and that's a big part of the appeal. The V2 starts from its physical remote or a one-touch button, with no app or Wi-Fi to set up. ILIFE says it still runs on a schedule and heads back to the dock when the battery is low.

It's 2.99 inches tall. ILIFE says that lets it clean under beds, sofas and other furniture, but measure your lowest clearance to be sure.
