Robot Vacuum and Mop Combo, Laresar L6 Pro Robotic Vacuum Cleaner with Auto Dirt Disposal, App Control, Works with Alexa, Lidar Navigation Smart Mapping, Max 3000pa Suction for Pet Hair/Floors/Carpets

Updating my review about 110 days after first use. You can read below that I loved this thing at first. Around day 90 of using it every other day or so, the battery started dying 15 min into every vacuum cycle, even though it says it’s 100% charged at the start of the cycle. Now It just dies in the middle of the room and won’t even go back to the charging station, and when it dies like this the app doesn’t show me what’s been vacuumed. I’ve been home when it’s happened mostly but it happens every time I use it now. I’ve been in contact with their support through the app. They immediately offered to send me a replacement battery with instructions for installing it. I gave my address and they sent me a letter to try to sell me an extended warranty!!! No battery! When I asked for a tracking number for the replacement battery they stopped responding thru the support chat on the app.DO NOT BUY THIS VACUUM if you want it to last longer than a few months. Support is horrible.This thing works SO WELL that my friends think I’ve been hiring a housecleaner. With a large dog and a cat, I’ve gone through the robot vacuums. This is the first model I’ve invested in that cost more than $180. It is WAY quieter than the cheaper ones. The suction power is great and leaves not a single hair or crumb in the carpet and rugs. On tile it is just as good. Does pretty well up against walls and in the corners with very few exceptions. It is not terribly noisy but also not as quiet as some of the $600+ models out there.The app is awesome. It will map your whole house and you can see where every wall, door, piece of furniture etc is. Very detailed map showing where it has vacuumed, etc. It automatically determines rooms which you can edit boundaries for, edit names for, create special zones for higher suction or for mopping / no-mopping, etc.The self-emptying feature works great. The device is good at returning to the dock to self-empty and to self-charge when it is getting low on battery. If it needs to charge before it finishes cleaning the rooms/zones you selected, then it will charge and then go and finish the cleaning cycle on its own.If the wheels get hung up or it sucks up a string etc, it will announce there is a problem and stop in place to wait. This does NOT drain the battery. On other models when my vacuum got stuck or jammed up, it would beep and drain the battery while waiting for “human rescue.” Not this one.This is the best household purchase I have ever made, honestly. I still have to spot-mop messes and steam/deep mop every couple of months but this thing does a fantastic job at keeping my floors clear of all debris and performing a light mopping of the hard surfaces.Pro tip: put it in your cart and wait awhile. I was notified when it was in my cart and a promotion dropped the price by $100. It would have been a great buy at full price. On sale it was even better.I’ve used it for 9 weeks and have not had to replace the refuse-container bag yet.

Love the vacuum and mop combo, works like a charm- as long as you are home to refill when using the mop function. It doesn’t let you know when it is out of water so you can’t just forget about it. For the price point though I have zero real negative feedback, it really makes a difference in my floors and is easy to turn on and off from my phone. Can be a little loud but I usually fix that by letting it do its thing when I’m not home.My only complaint is I had no warning that it could end with a once in a lifetime misfortune of it becoming a mouse trap as well!It appears some poor Jerry mouse decided to run into the base while the vacuum was away doing its job and only was discovered when I heard it trying to chew its way back out after Roberta (my vacuum) had returned back to home station to charge.I haven’t yet tried the vacuum as Jerry is still in the tube refusing to come out but he did quite a few job on the suction seal so I guess time will tell if my poor Roberta can continue to seal enough to work, sadly I have little hope and am instead crying inside as I loved it so much!So if you get it guard it!

The product works great! Vacuum suction is great and navigates the home very well. Make sure to let it run the full course of the home to properly map out, otherwise you may have some difficulty with zones etc. It has a general pairing with Alexa, but not a specific one to rooms from which I have discovered yet. Comes with a great warranty and the reviews show a longer lifespan for the product as opposed to other competitors. Thus far, it is a great buy!

My son always says, “You get what you pay for.” In other words, if you pay less for something, you get less. This could be less in terms of features or less durability or less tech support or shorter warranty period, etc. Well, my recent experience with robot vacuums disproves his theory.Bad Choice Purchase. Recently, I purchased a name brand, top-of-the-line robot vacuum for over $1000 including discounts. On paper, it sounded perfect and included vSLAM mapping technology (I was not yet aware of lidar mapping), and a completely separate mopping unit. After attempting to use it for a couple of weeks, I returned it.It did a lousy job of mapping and the mapping took days, and it never did a complete job. Some areas of the house were skipped and I found it impossible to force it to map those areas. All I could do was start over and hope it mapped it on the second attempt, but, alas, it did not.The map itself was very rough and made it impossible to see straight walls. This vacuum never did do straight lines and appeared to move about randomly while vacuuming. For me, the killer was when I found the vacuum couldn’t handle carpet.It kept getting stuck, and when it did, I could hear it spinning its wheels. To free itself, it would turn in a tight circle leaving a string of circles all the way down the carpet. When it was able to go in a straight line it did so in a jerky fashion as it got stuck, got free, got stuck etc. I figured at this rate it would burn up its motor while it ruined the carpet. Consequently, I returned it to the vendor where I had bought it.Research-based Purchasing. I decided that I needed to do more research before buying a replacement robot vacuum. I created a spread sheet with all of the attributes of each vacuum. I also included reviewer rating scores and read numerous reviewer comments making certain that I read comments from each rating category for each vacuum. I picked out a set of attributes that I wanted the selected vacuum to have and culled down the group of vacuums to only those that had them.I noticed that the Laresar L6 Pro had the highest reviewer rating of the group. It received a 4.6 out of 5.0, while the next highest was 4.4 out of 5.0. The vacuum I returned had received a 3.9 out of 5.0. I guess I should have paid more attention to such details.I began reading the long list of reviews and was even more impressed. Almost all of the viewers had nothing but strong praise for all aspects of the vacuum and the few that had any negative comments were regarding trivial problems. The more I read, the more impressed I was with what the reviewers were saying.In comparing the Laresar to all of the other vacuums on my list, it was clear that the Laresar was the clear winner due to its features and reviewer ratings and comments. Incidentally, I had never heard of the Laresar brand before, and when reading articles such as “The ten best robot vacuums in 2022” and similar titles, Laresar is never mentioned. That’s too bad, because in my opinion it is the best regardless of cost on the market. I’ll tell you why, next.Lidar vs vSLAM. One of my requirements is that I would only consider vacuums using Lidar mapping technology. Lidar is hands-down better at mapping your house. It is both faster (much, much faster) than visual mapping (vSLAM) and much more accurate than vSLAM.While vSLAM requires multiple whole house scans with each one pretty much taking all day to build a map, the Lidar mapping takes only one full house scan to complete an accurate map. I should mention that both Lidar and vSLAM continue to make improvements to the map each time you vacuum. The Laresar L6 Pro has a high-capacity battery that lasts more than 2 hours, so it can complete a quick and accurate scan of most houses on a single charge. In fact, when I first plugged the Laresar into its charging station it scanned and built a map of the room it was in while it was charging. Consequently, I was favorably impressed pretty much right out of the box.House-map Modification. In the process of building the initial map the Laresmart App automatically divides the map into rooms at what it considers to be natural points of division , and it names the rooms such as room 1, room 2, etc.After the map (first figure above) has been created, the Laresmart App has a feature that allows you to modify the map by renaming the rooms to more familiar names such as kitchen, master bedroom, etc. It also allows you to merge rooms into one or to divide large rooms into multiple smaller rooms.You can also create invisible walls, keep out areas, and special vacuum areas. I used an invisible wall at the doorway to my office (bordering room 7 on the left), because I didn’t want the vacuum going in there and getting tangled up in the computer related cables and wires and all the other junk I have in there. I wanted to be able to keep the door open so that it didn’t get too warm in there, so the invisible wall was the solution.I also installed a small keep out area in a corner of the family room that my wife uses as a charging station for her iPhones and iPads etc., and another one on the right side of room 7 closing off the closet doorway from the master bath. I should add that all of these modifications worked exactly as designed.Note that the current map shows the most recent cleaning pattern. In the map represented by the first figure. the rectangle showing the vacuum path illustrates a spot cleaning in the upper part of the yellow Dining Room area.Room 7 at the very top of the map was not actually mapped, but the vacuum lidar got a glimpse through the door opening of my office on the left side and one of the closets on the right side before I shut the doors in each location before it was able to get into the rooms.Scheduling. Another handy feature is “Timing.” This is an amusing misnomer for “Scheduling.” It allows you to schedule the robot to clean somewhere at a certain time and day. You can make this a one-time schedule or a repeating schedule. For example, I scheduled it to clean all of the rooms containing carpet on Saturday mornings. To do this, you select the day and time and whether it should repeat and how often.When you click “cleaning position,” which refers to which rooms should be cleaned, your house map appears. You simply click on the rooms that should be cleaned. I’ve tested this and it works perfectly.Suction. The Laresar features suction strengths labeled “quiet, standard, strong, and maximum.” My wife keeps a pretty clean house, so it is hard to see a difference between the different suction strengths, but using the Laresmart App to switch between the different strengths does make a difference in the sound levels.I used the “quiet” strength to map the house. This maximized the battery time making it more likely the vacuum would compete the mapping before the battery ran out. Even while vacuuming in the “quiet” mode, I noticed that the vacuum picked up any little bit of material that was not a part of the floor or carpet.I haven’t tried throwing Cheerios or something else on the floor to see how well it picks it up, but I have watched a number of videos in which the Laresar was tested in this manner, and it did very well in those videos. Consequently, I did not feel it necessary to duplicate those tests.Systematic Cleaning. Regarding vacuuming, the Laresar L6 Pro seems to use a systematic method. It first vacuums all the way around the perimeter of a room. Then it fills in the area within the perimeter by vacuuming in straight rows. It displays this pattern on the app, so that you can see that no areas have been missed. I really like this feature, because it increases my confidence that the robot is doing a really good job of completely covering the area. Incidentally, the rows are all parallel throughout the entire house (see the second figure above.)Whenever the Laresar finishes a “job” it goes directly back to the charger taking the most direct route. I’ve never had it run out of battery before finishing a “job,” but if it did run low on battery, it would go back and charge and when it was finished charging, it would finish the job.As I mentioned, I haven’t experienced a case where Laresar ran out of battery, so I’ll just have to take their word for this. If nothing else, this confirms that the Laresar has a high-capacity battery.Incidentally, I should mention that the Laresar ran for 151 minutes on a single charge in completing its initial mapping run with the vacuum suction set to “quiet.”Mopping. The Laresar also does “mopping,” which consists of a light spray of water and then dragging a mop pad over it. This is similar to most other vacuums that do “mopping.”If commanded to do so, it can sweep a spot and then mop it, sweep then mop, etc. until it has finished a room or area. It also can be set to mop using a “y” pattern. I don’t know what the purpose of this is and didn’t consider it important enough for further investigation.Since I have hardwood floors that do not allow spraying with water, I do not plan on using the mopping feature and also did not test it. A number of other reviews did test it, and it seemed to work well considering what it was doing.Records. The Laresmart app keeps a record of each time the vacuum goes out and cleans (see the third figure above). It maintains a running total of cleaning area, cleaning times, and time spent cleaning. For each cleaning episode, it also provides the cleaning time, the area cleaned in square meters, and the time of day. Click the right arrow for the cleaning episode and it shows the date and time and the house map with the cleaning pattern taken by the vacuum.Emptying the Dust Bin. The Laresar L6 Pro includes self-emptying of the dust bin. The Laresmart app allows several options regarding the frequency of emptying. I selected the option of emptying the dust bin after every cleaning. The central depository for the refuse collected by the vacuum, which is located in the charging station, should allow me to go about 60 days without having to change collection bags. This is similar to several other robot vacuums. I did not see any vacuums that allowed for a greater volume of vacuum debris and many of them were smaller. It is obvious to me that the amount of time it takes to fill the storage bag depends on how clean or dirtty you house normally is.The debris bag is cleverly designed so that when you pull up on the tab to remove it, it closes the opening thereby keeping the dust from entering the room.Purchase Cost. Interestingly, I did not care so much how much the vacuum cost as long as it did what I wanted. My son’s philosophy of buying the most expensive item in order to get the most capability or best quality is sometimes valid – but it was way out-to-lunch in this case.I thought the Laresar L6 Pro turned out to easily beat out the competition, while simultaneously having the lowest price tag. While the list price was around $600, I was able to get a coupon discount that dropped it to $400 on Amazon. It was a good buy at $600 and at $400, it was a steal – in my humble opinion.The Cons. I have only one complaint regarding this excellent robot vacuum, and that is that the documentation that comes with it is woefully lacking. For the most part, I found it necessary to sort of stumble around until I could figure out what a setting was supposed to do or what features were available to me. I also found that other reviews, which were all excellent, were very helpful in discovering how to use this vacuum cleaner.It was quite apparent that English was a second language for the developer of the Laresmart app with a number of features being given somewhat amusing names. For example, “scheduling” was called “timing” and the dust bin emptying frequency was called “Dust collecting treasure.” I’m not sure if this was an attempt at humor by the developer or if the person has an alternative meaning for treasure.There were several other amusing terms used in the documentation that I don’t recall right now. Also, explanations of what the settings are and what they do were no where to be found. In many cases, they were pretty much self explanatory, perhaps that explains why there is so little documentation. I guess if I can figure it out, pretty much anybody can, but I was so positively impressed by the functioning of this vacuum that I would consider writing a manual for Laresar.All in all, the inadequacies of the documentation is a very minor concern to me, because I was able to figure it all out in the end.Summary. Having had a bad experience with a major name-brand, top-of-the-line, expensive robot vacuum, I was determined to find one that would do everything I wanted it to. The Laresar L6 Pro filled the bill for me by meeting all of my requirements and then some.I wanted a vacuum with the following features, on which I would not make any compromises. These items should also be considered “Pros” of the Laresar L6 Pro. Self-Emptying Dust Bin with Minimum 60-day-capacity Reservoir High Capacity Battery that Lasts More than 2 Hours Lidar Mapping Technology Editable House Maps including Room Naming, Merging or Splitting of Rooms, Invisible Barriers, Keep-out Zones, Special Vacuum Zones Vacuum Tracking Patterns Showing Areas Vacuumed and Coverage Allows the Selection of Which Room or Rooms to Be Vacuumed Scheduling by Room, Zone, or Auto (Whole House) by Day of Week, Time of Day, and One-time or Repeated Daily or Every Week or Month Spot Cleaning Selectable Suction Levels Go to Dock Command Allows the Location of the Docking Station to Be Moved Without Remapping (not tested)As indicated, that last item was not tested and should be classed as desirable but not mandatory. Also, this item was not used to cull the list of candidate vacuums.The Laresar L6 Pro had one “Con” and that was inadequate documentation for both the vacuum and the Laresmart App. My overall rating for this vacuum is 5 Stars plus.

Larry was delivered November 3, 2023, earlier than expected and wrapped in a double box.After opening the inner box, Larry arrived without any damage.The assembly process was simple and after providing Larry some food (electricity to charge him up) and some water for the mopping system, he went right to work mapping, mopping and vacuuming our floors.His communication skills with his parental IOS application were excellent. The ability to let him know which areas he was not allowed to travel in and to restrict him on certain occasions to only clean the kitchen floor because his parents made a mess, worked great.Larry was able to map, mop and vacuum our 2200 square foot home after only having one meal(charge), while he required three tanks of water to complete the mopping process – I know we are in the desert with the dry heat so a bit more water use was expected.Larry’s birth parents – The Laresar family reached out to us continuously, asking if we required any help in preparing Larry to be a productive part of our family.As a technologist and after carefully researching this category of technologies, The Laresar system works much better than expected and at a more attractive price point without giving up any features.After two months of continuous use (poor Larry) – I would certainly recommend this Company and product.Cheers
