As smart vacuums go, theres a lot of space between the very best, and the very worst.
To be clear, its good.
Real good, in fact.
Its struggles are similar to those of any other oversized hockey puck-shaped robo-vacuums Ive tried to date.
Its a bit of an adventure, at first.
Later efforts are much smoother.
On its first trek through our home, for example, it got stuck under a bookshelf.
It avoided trying to clean under the bookshelf entirely in subsequent runs.
It’s free, every week, in your inbox.
Battery life falls short of some of its competitors, but its plenty to do the job.
When set to run continuously, Juany 5 got just shy of 60 minutes of battery life.
Once done, itll return to its base usually.
Once connected to an Android or iOS unit though, it opens up an entirely new world of possibilities.
Its here that you’re free to view the floor plan it has created for your home.
Rooms, in case you were wondering, is in quotes because it doesnt quite seem to understand hallways.
In our home, it seems to believe the bathroom and the hallway are the same space.
it’s possible for you to also set up a schedule from within the app.
This is a weak point, as you cant schedule specific areas at specific times.
Meaning, its just going to go to work.
you could clean specific rooms through the app, but not on a schedule.
Its not a dealbreaker by any means.
We just set it to clean up after us while were snoozing.
The noise level is akin to a freestanding floor fan, so its definitely something you could sleep through.
The debris reservoir for sweeping and vacuuming could also use improvement.
For a vacuum this size, the reservoir holds just 0.47 liters of debris.
Other models, like those from Electrolux, can pack away 0.7 liters before needing to be emptied.
At around $599 (Amazon), Ozmo 930 offers a lot of bang for the buck.
While its not perfect, its as close as anything Ive ever seen in this price range.
