Looks pretty nice. How does it handle cleaning under furniture?

Thank you. Cleaning head is 2 inches tall and extends up to 3 inches below furniture. It cleans all the visible dirt and goes underneath anything that’s taller than ~14”.

It’s designed to clean visible dirt thoroughly.

Frankly, if primary use case is cleaning underneath furniture than disc robots are great already.

Thanks, that makes sense. For context: having little kids we also keep all the crawl-accessible spaces pretty clean which includes under couches etc. Manual vacuum immediately for any obvious mess to keep it from spreading, robot to handle tediously complete levels of coverage.

Totally understand and the use case and really appreciate your feedback. We hope to resolve that in diff way. Just things kind of like truck vs suv vs sedan — we will just need diff form factor.

With this one, we really want to eliminate day to day use.
