It does work

Not the most powerful vacuum but it does get dog hair off the floor. Not meant to replace your regular vacuum. I like mine.

good floor duster in simple space

I have one of the these tiny, inexpensive vacs in each bedroom. They are prefect for bare wood floors in simple spaces. They dust a 10 x 12 bare wood floor in about 15 minutes and do pick up pet hair, tracked cat litter, and dust. It then takes them overnight to re-charge. If used every other day, dust and pet hair doesn't accumulate in the corners, so I find I need a "real" human-operated vac in these rooms only about once a month.

These inexpensive vacs don't have corner brushes so aren't as good at edges as the more advanced robo-vacs. Also, they get stuck on or under just about anything - door sills, rugs edges, chair rungs, etc., so need a clear space in which to work. (For more cluttered room, I like the Metapo QQ2 which does corners and can sterilize the bathroom and kitchen floor with its ultraviolet light. I have not tried the roombas but don't find any of the cheaper models do carpet well.)

Lastly, make sure the P2 and P3 are turned off before recharging; failure to do so will fry the batteries and 12 AA rechargeables aren't cheap!

The newer version (P3) is quieter but still noisier than I'd like while trying to read. However, bothe the P2 and the P3 are quiet enough that the cats ignore them.

I have 2 irobot roombas, a dirt dog, and a scooba. When I saw the P3 which was MUCH cheaper, I HAD to try it. This product has scuffed up my laminate floors with it's rubber wheels by spinning them aimlessly. It does not move and has to be babysat, despite being put in a cleared, closed room. It got stuck on level floors. Also could not vacuum/sweep tile floors. Very disappointing. Takes FOREVER to charge as well.

Not impressive at all. I guess I am just a spoilt irobot user. I expected more from this product than it was able to give.

It's a toy

Essentially, it's a dust buster on wheels. The vacuum opening is only a few inches wide. There isn't any vacuum power, and there isn't any brush. Additionally, it got stuck on everything. The first time I ran it on my carpet. It traveled 10 feet, and then got stuck on the heating duct grating on the floor. The second try I ran it on the linoleum in the kitchen. It traveled 3 feet, turned toward the carpet and got stuck on the threshold between the linoleum and the carpet. The third try, I put it on short dense office building type carpeting. There was a 1/8 inch thick cord taped to the floor with duct tape. The unit traveled 5 feet, and then got stuck on the cord.
