    The vacuum cleaner has been unboxed and put together ready to go. Now I have to wait for the battery to charge so I can actually try it out.

      You can try it out at my place if you want free of charge. I’ll even let you do all the rooms just to make sure it works.

        Thanks for the kind offer, but I think I’ve got enough space to try it out here 😁

        I’ve just installed the app - it is wifi connected so I can check on the battery charge level without leaving my seat, it will remind me when I need to clean filters and it monitors how much time I’ve used it for. Hopefully not in a creepy way.

            I suspect it’s more useful for the robot vac where you are not actively using it yourself. They seem to like to put wifi into everything these days though.

            The only other appliance I have with wifi is my rice cooker. The wifi is very useful for me because I bought the cooker cheap and it is Chinese, so I can’t actually tell what any of the buttons do. The app has an English version, so without that I can’t do anything except basic rice starting right now. With it I can set the timer and make youghurt and other things.
