Best review and demo of this unit I have found. One thing I don't like is the app only seems to work on 2.4ghz wifi, not 5ghz. So, you either have to split your network or downgrade it to 2.4. Since it can detect carpet and increase suction accordingly, I wish it could also turn off mopping when on carpet. Doesn't seem that hard to do.
Yes, a lot of these sorts of machines will only run on 2.4gh wifi annoyingly, I tend to split my bands, and have 1 for smart tech and 1 for everything else
@@randymarsh9101 working great. I mop and vac once a week. Easy to clean out bin. They've done 2 software updates. I like the Smart feature and you can check the map for progress. Having had 2 back surgeries it makes my life easier. No need try motivating my husband for these jobs!
I have one, I never noticed this black carpet issue cause I don't have one. to me, the mopping is amazing too. But usually I use the medium water setting.
Hello! Nice review! I just bought this vacuum for my mother, instead I have deebot. I can’t understand how can I use the app to set the rooms/areas in the map, is there any way to do it? Thank you so much :)
Hi, thanks for the great review I'm hoping you can help me, when I bought this vacuum from amazon, it says in the description that it has a zig zag mode, radom mode, edge mode and spot mode but I cannot get it to do zig zag, it just does random all the time, do you have any idea how I set it to do zig zag?
If anyone has the same problem as me, ive figured it out, all you need to do is power it off by holding the power button for a few seconds and power it back on again, it should then do zig zag pattern instead of random
I've had an Ecovacs 710 for a few years now. Any smart device, ( and I have quite a few) , can/and/or/WILL, disengage from your router, or your router will cause it to drop off when it re-allocates an IP address. No escaping that. My deebot just dropped off the network and now I have to reinstall it. Good thing it has a remote, I can use the remote and reinstall it when I feel like it. But dang, I do have to get up out of the chair and find the remote and hit the buttons. Such a drag.🤣 Very weird about the black carpet indeed.
Any update on the black carpet issue, yet??? Also with the mopping - do you put any sort of detergent in the reservoir? I have wooden floors and use Flash "Wood Floor Safe'" detergent for manual mopping them.
Anyone know how to use this vacuum with alexa or Google assistant, the seller says it connects to both but ive tried everything with no success, im starting to think the sellers are lying and you can't use it with voice control 😐 ive searched everywhere for an answer
I would suggest connecting the hover to the Smart Life app (this is what the honiture hoovers are built on) they allow within the settings to connect Alexa and Google assistance
Is it though? the review pointed out the flaw, so surely that makes it a good review as its something to keep in mind when purchasing. After a update from Honiture it does now work fine as well.
@@bytesizeclu Excellent review. Mine arrives tomorrow and I feel confident about using it thanks to your help. Just ignore the haters and rude people. Thanks very much.

Very in-depth video of the robo vac, thank you!
Love my G20! 1st robot I've ever bought.
Are you having any problems with it? Is it still working fine?

What’s the best between this one and the Q5? Thanks ☺
can you explain the symbols on the hand held
remote control please,
Good review I definitely prefer my Eufy G30 but this would make a very good second device for the upstairs landing and cupboards
G20 has 3500Pa is super strong, Eufy G30 has 2000Pa, G30 is not so strong.

Nice, I hope you enjoy it!

Great Review. Subscribed ✅

Tnx for the review mate, very apreciated
my spinwave was like that and hated black carpet but after a firmware update it was fine

Any chance of a video tutorial on how to set it up with alexa or Google assistant?
Hello, you can with tuya smart app. 🙂
Any update on the black carpet issue, yet???
Also with the mopping - do you put any sort of detergent in the reservoir? I have wooden floors and use Flash "Wood Floor Safe'" detergent for manual mopping them.
As of right now no, it's still a little scared of darker rugs! I personally don't use detergent but you totally could
I got this vacuum today and found it also doesn’t like my dark grout. However, works perfectly on my light coloured carpet

Where do I buy replacement parts? Thank you.
It's not a Hoover.
Well spotted, Hover is the brand name, it would be called a Vaccum but a lot of the time these days the words are used interchangably.
maybe you just bought a racist Hoover?😂
lol
What's wrong with you'r eyes ?
