Robot Vacuum Cleaner, Bagotte BG700 1600PA Wi-Fi Connected APP Schedule Cleaning Robotic Vacuum Cleaner, 2.7" Super-Slim, Boundary Strip Included, Ideal for Pet Hair, Hard Floors, Carpets

The media could not be loaded.  I’m a stay at home parent with 3 toddlers so, as you can imagine, there are always crumbs on my floors and a space that needs vacuumed. I have looked at different robot vacuums for awhile trying to find the best deal and a quality machine and finally, I just picked this one on amazon and crossed my fingers.I’ve had this vacuum for a little under a month now, waiting to use it several times before posting a review, and I have to say, I’m extremely pleased!The vacuum does navigate through the house in random, sporadic patterns but it keeps my floors clean. It cleans underneath my dining buffet, underneath the beds, underneath furniture… it senses elevation changes so that it doesn’t fall down stairs… it’s easy to clean the dust collection canister (I do this after EVERY single use. Not because the manual says to, but because it really picks up a LOT and I want to make sure it’s getting a clean start and a fresh bin every time it’s used AND I want to increase its longevity). It’s really easy to clean out so this is not an inconvenience to me at all.I did pair it with my wifi and download the app so that I can schedule it to clean at certain times; however, I haven’t actually scheduled it to clean yet. When I want to use it, I just turn it on and let it do its thing. The manual includes a QR code to scan so that you can make sure you are downloading the correct app that goes with the machine. (Initially, I just searched for it and had a hard time finding the correct app. I actually downloaded the incorrect app at first, because it was called BG home and it looked right. I would DEFINITELY recommend just scanning the QR code found in the manual so that you are using the right app – the app is called ‘robot cleaner’ and is teal with a white design). After scanning, it will take you straight to your app store and download what you need. The instructions provided in the manual are pretty thorough and helpful.Overall, I’m extremely pleased with this robot vacuum. I love, my husband loves, even my kids love it. We don’t have any pets in our house so my kids have already named the vacuum “izzy”, which is really silly but also funny when they come running down the hall saying, “MOM! Izzy is in our room! Izzy is trying to eat my toy! Izzy get out of here!”.I’m happy with the product and would confidently recommend it to others. If you’re looking to buy a new vacuum, I hope my review helps!

I am a person that reads reviews on everything I buy, but very seldom write one. This vacuum after two weeks has changed my view on robotic vacuums. If you are looking for perfection, probably not the right unit for you. If you are looking for a tool to help you with daily maintenance, here you go. We have a farm house with open floor plan and 90% laminate hardwood. Numerous rugs with varying pile thickness from flat rubber to shag. The unit does great on shorter rugs, but struggles with shag, we did not intend to have it clean this, but on occasion it does get on the rug and does a nice job. It will get stuck on the shag rug.The main reason we purchased a robotic vacuum was to help with the dog hair on the hard floors from our Golden Retriever. It does a fantastic job with this! We used to use a Norwex dry mop every-night to keep the floor clean, have not had it out since the vacuum arrived.Two points that have really impressed us about the are the ease of use with only the remote control, and the consequent elimination of dust on the furniture. Example of the TV stand, you could write your name in the dust every week because of all of the particles in the air from sweeping, this is no longer the case.The four star rating is because of two reasons. First is this is a lower priced unit that does not have mapping capabilities. I knew this going into the purchase, but for the first attempt, the price outweighed this option. Secondly the dust receptacle is not easy to clean out. There is a screen under the Large filter door, that if could be removed, would make this task much easier. The dust receptacle is quite large and will normally hold a whole cleaning cycle ( after first couple of cleanings!!) From previous reviews it is quite erratic on its path of cleaning as well, but it does go back and complete the whole area after a recharge. For the money, and what we use it for, good value and machine.

Read many reviews before my purchase of this model (BG700).First off: the Alexa integration is horrible! For those with trouble setting up, the Bogotte app isn’t really needed as you need the Smart Life app installed (and register account before linking). Once you sign into Smart Life and link your robot you need to go to Alexa app to enable the Smart Life (house logo, not the other “Smartlife” skill) skill. It will ask you to log in with your Smart Life account and then add device on the Alexa app. If once all this is done and your robot isn’t working you need to disable the skill in Alexa app, re-enable and re-log in to your Smart Life account.**keep in mind since Smart Life is the Alexa skill, after adding device through Alexa and renaming he robot (default name BG700), you cannot ask Alexa to “ask Smart Life to start cleaning” as it may suggest, as “start cleaning” isn’t defaulted to the robot device. For example, if your device name in Alexa is BG700, you need to say “Alexa, ask Smart Life to start BG700”. This is entirely stupid though imo and wastes so much time you might as well just work with your remote or operate via the actual Smart Life app.Now for the product itself.. frankly I’m a little disappointed because no matter which mode you’re in, the robot just kinda goes all over the place. It sweeps okay but doesn’t have great suction, which is a problem if, like me, you have limited space where your wooden floor meets your rugs. When the robot goes from one surface to the other (mind you I have very thin rugs), it just doesn’t suck up too much of anything and leaves a trail of pieces of dust around the area, which I then have to manually pick up with some paper towel.They came out with BG800 and maybe an even newer model too, which has mapping features but there are mixed reviews for them as well. Waiting for a really amazing robot cleaner to upgrade to when the time comes.
