    Customers are dissatisfied with the value of the robotic vacuum cleaner. They mention that it's a waste of money, with a cheap simple DC motor. Customers also say that the app is too simplistic and unprofessionally developed.

    My cat's new best friend
    This little guy is pretty cool. Every couple of hours I'll login and undock. The cat comes running and follows it around. Sometimes she'll just sit next to the dock waiting for him to wake up. The appbot isn't very noisy. It works pretty well on carpet. It's a little tricky to control, but anything takes practice. It wasn't too hard to setup. The biggest problem I have is I use MAC Address filtering on my router. I couldn't find a way to find Riley's MAC Address until after a complete setup. I wound up trying once, then I went to the router log to see the rejected MAC Address. Two issues you should know for setup: Riley won't let you setup unless it has a full charge. If you use an iPhone, Go to Settings >> Cellular and toggle off for appbot. Turn it back on after the setup. I hope he lasts a while. I noticed on the website to replace the battery, you can order the tread unit for $50. There a slight lag in the audio video to the app. But not so bad you can't control Riley. Now I just need to find a way to mount a laser, and drive the cat nuts.

    5.0 out of 5 stars This thing is super cool.
    Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2019
    My buddy first purchased this robot and showed it to me. I looked it up on amazon and was concerned about the mixed reviews, with Amazon's return policy I figured I'd give this thing a try and if it sucked I would just return it. Set up wasn't that bad, pretty easy actually. I have been messing around with this robot for a few days now and it has worked out perfectly for me with no issues. If you have bad cell service in places it will lag a little. I wish you could change the tilt sensitivity as it is a little snappy. I say give this a try and if you don't like it just return it. My cats are so fascinated with it I often find it toppled over when I get home. It would be cool if they had a flying drone version of this robot.
