ILIFE Shinebot W450 Mopping Robot Cleaner, Wet Scrubbing, Floor Washing, Wi-Fi Connected, Compatible with Alexa, XL Water Tank, Zig-Zag Cleaning Path, Ideal for Hard Floors only.

I have viomi s9 with auto empty station since 2 years and i robot brava m6 since a week at home and recently purchased i life w450 for office use. The first difference that i noted is i life w450 does sweeping and mopping in one go and works best for kitchen spills great, it takes much sorter time when compared to others to complete the job, cleaning the machine is relatively easy, as other 2 machines need some cleaning after every use. This machine needs to address edge cleaning. Really happy for the purchase and strongly recommend for indian conditions, when compared to any other types of vaccum robots.

This passed the maid test. Cleaned substantially better than her mopping. Right after the mop, we let it run and it picked up a lot of dirtied water, leaving shine on marble flooring with the random trails from mop cleared. We use it every evening as maid does the mopping in morning, and turned to be very helpful when the maid took a week's leave.A lot of pros and some app limitations which need to be ironed out, because of which, some kind of babysitting needs to be done for this robo(wife calls it Ramu Kaka)Pros: Only robot which washes your floor.Has separate clean and dirty waterCons: lacking custom mapping feature, we need to put blockades to prevent it running away to a different room.Corners, you need to clean manually sometimes (this is applicable for any robot I believe, as none can reach corners)There is no way to clean the dirty water tank. You can bend the cleaning brush a bit in front to make it reach some more restricted areas, but, there are places where it can't reach, whatever you do.Tech demo was superb and the technician clarified some technical doubts, and some tips about where to start to avoid orientation issues when cleaning narrow paths, etc. They sent a complementary bottle of cleaning solution for hard floor on request.Tips: If you see some dirty water droplets after you lift it, before lifting, just drag it a few inches and then lift.If the brush is clogged with lot of lint, just wash it a bit under pressurized streamAlways start from a corner and in an orientation that a lot of zigzag is avoided if you have a narrow path on the way. This will save a lot of time.

Update from last review below:Pathetic after sale service and product itself is flawed. This is a fraud robot, it should be named as iDead. It is a murder of hard earned money. My words can tell you how highly it disappoints you and frustrates you. If you have patience enough to deal with excuses and spare money to waste and burn then too don’t go for this machine.First Review:The machine is only 32 days old and it is not working for the last 10 days due to come charging issues. The new adapter has arrived and the machine is still not working. Save yourself the trouble. Don’t buy this. Customer service is not other minds if they are not available to serve u on Saturday and Sunday.

I have been using this robot since 5 months and I’m really impressed with its clean capabilities. It will be really good if ilife adds mapping capability to this, as it will greatly reduce the cleaning time

I had purchased this product in 2021 and was using it for more than a year. for the past 3 months I am having issues with the water suction, service center told me to replace the brush and I have to spend 500 for the brush and in spite of that it did not solve the problem. In Sep 2023 they cam back to me telling water suction pump is at fault and should be replaced but do not have spares and in Oct they sent an email saying spares are out of stock and need few weeks time and on Nov 17th they say still parts are out of stock.Service do not respond timely, you need to call them multiple times and each time you need to explain the problem from start.

Bot cleans well exceeded my expectations, but their Android app sucks lots of people complaining about the same. Tech support won't give a call back after multiple attempts.

Good, for bringing foreign intelligent products to India to free our daughters domestic enslavement. Unless our women and daughters are presented with technological inventions rather than gold, the equality remains a dream. Ilife Robotic gadgets are symbols of transformation. Buy one to experience the change.

First got the used one also not working, replaced the product this time got the new one and working very well.

I was super excited about this little guy , it has a clean and dirty water tank. It does a fabulous job of cleaning up. I do have to warn you , its important to do maintenence on the robot, use the brush to clean out the dirty tank make sure its nice and clean, as well as the Clean water tank... if you get an error message to check clean water tank. Otherwise if you maintain the Robot and take good care of it , It will take good care of you.

The media could not be loaded.  Best mopping robot on the market by far. If you have a ton of hard flooring, this will be a lifesaver. (I have 1,720 sqft of mostly LVP and tile in my bathrooms/laundry). I love it so much that I now own two of them.For techies, the app itself is a bit rudimentary, but will allow you to do zone specific cleanings, specify how much water you want to use, how fast to turn the scrubbing brush, etc. And the basic functionality of just letting it do it's own thing works great, with it easily navigating around chair legs, etc.Pros:- The ability to control unit travel speed, amount of water used, speed of the cleaning roller, and number of cleaning passes means that you can actually get a deep clean on your floor.- You can also do just a drying pass to make sure your floors are extra dry (great for hardwoods)- The separate clean/dirty water tanks are PRICELESS, and the W450 is the only mopping robot that comes close to my beloved Hoover Floormate (which is exhausting to use).- The battery life was great, and the navigation was better than I expected.- The microfiber roller has scrubbing strips which traverse the entire width of the roller as it cleans. A fast roller speed + slow unit travel speed = more scrubbing action.- The clean water tank is relatively easy to fill, and the dirty water tank is easy to empty. Just drain the dirty water, add some clean and shake around to dislodge any debris picked up, and drain again. They do include a cleaning brush, but I don't see why you would even need it if you immediately clean the unit after using, and vacuum beforehand.- They generously include a 2nd cleaning roller, and replacements are only $13 for 3. A bottle of cleaner is also included, and is the ONLY cleaner that should be used in the W450. Replacements are $5/bottle. But you don't have to use detergent every time, nor do you have to use the full recommended 6mills.- The cleaner is AMAZING. My floors did not initially look as clean as I was expecting, and I quickly figured out that it was removing YEARS of film from my prior cleaning product. It took about 3 passes to remove it all, but my floors now look FABULOUS. FYI that it does have a fresh scent, but it does not bother my overly sensitive nose.- It has a remote, but I have never used it.Things to be aware of:- No notification if the brush is not installed. The end result is water being sprayed on your floor, which I actually found to be a great pre-clean soak for high traffic areas!- No notification when clean water is getting low - it sounds like a machine gun when air enters the water pump- No mapping of your room (nor saved map) - a zone clean is basically your best guesstimate of area size with the rectangle that you draw- Slight high pitched whine on occasion for those that are noise sensitive, but not to the degree that really bothered me.- The owner's manual does call out that the unit will not be able to do it's best work on tile with deep grout lines, which makes sense.NOTE: my video uses 100% water, 10% travel speed, and 100% brush roll speedIf you are thinking about buying, DO IT. Your back and your floors will thank you!

Wow, this turned out to be a bit of a novel. Hope it helps...To paint this picture, I've had a few Roombas and a Scooba a while back before they gave up their ghosts and IRobot discontinued the best robot mopper made. I have a Roborock S6 MaxV (always makes me think of Daft Punk), and frankly didn't think it was close to Scooba's mopping capability. IMO, if your mopper doesn't pick up the dirty water, it's just a glorified paper towel distributing your dirtiness as evenly as possible over your whole floor surface. Hard pass, but the S6 is still really good as a vacuum.After getting two boarder collie mixes for a house with a back yard that's far too small for them, they reduced the grass to just dirt, and now my climate's wet winter has turned the hard floors to an awful tragedy of muddy paw prints. To dry my wife's tears over swiffering daily (I help by vacuuming manually first), I got this thing. I picked the W450 over the 400 because 3rd party reviews said the extra features were worth it. The feature that sold me was wifi connectability (meaning app) that exposed more controls to make it work better, like maps. More on that later, but spoiler, it was worth it.Now to the robot. Setup wasn't too bad. The paper manual was sort of informative, but contained less than 50% of the info I expected, which after using the robot a few times, I kind of know my expectations were a little high (there's more than a few signs this product could use more development time). It took me a few passes at getting the robot connected to my network, but that was on me, I didn't read the instructions very closely (only supports 2.4 GHz).The charger is not one the robot can drive to dock on. It's part charger, part drip pan. Ok, I guess. I got it for mopping, which with all the manual steps of filling and draining and cleaning, I can get passed picking it up to put in the rooms I want to clean.Watching it drive is a little painful to the eyes. It's like watching a drunken zamboni driver, except much more adorably miniature. Setting the thing to drive straight on it's zigzag mode is something I haven't mastered yet. Crooked to the room, it seems, is the default. It also does not drive in particularly parallel lines. I've noticed this simultaneously double covers and misses 2-3 ft lengths of the floor. Luckily with the app, you can set the robot to do up to 3 passes, provided your room isn't too big for the clean water tank, or the battery (as I've learned).The first cleaning was... underwhelming. Technically, the floor was cleaner. I did get full coverage in a non-rectangular room with a pool table, foosball table, and other things along the perimeter. I saw a lot of dry spots where no water was released, wheel scuffs, and a lot of dried diagonal pattern from the brush. Part of it I can blame on myself. The floor is LVP ("luxurious" vinyl plank) and it's particularly dark for a grey wood design. This shows the slightest bit of dirt and scratches. (Oof on that choice.) My first mistake was setting the zigzag perpendicular to the planks. All follow up tries have been in parallel, which has been far superior in showing less of the robot’s... artifacts.Things also got dramatically better once I monkeyed with the settings in the app. I've seen reviews that say those settings are available from the remote, but the app is FAR more intuitive and fine grained. With the app, you can control the robot's drive speed, amount of water... squirt, and brush rotation speed. With no documentation about how best to optimize the three, I'm still dialing in the performance. What I have learned is, slowing down the robot helps immensely. Setting it to its slowest speed means more water can be piddled out, curing dry spots, and the brush rotation per square inch can be maxed out, curing the dried brush pattern. This affects water to full room pass ratio (I had to dump and refill before the room was done), as well as battery usage (only got 2 passes on my biggest room where I did get 3 before). However, a higher quality room pass means fewer passes needed. I’ll figure out what settings can do the whole room in one tank, and leave it looking the least like a lazy robot did it in a hurry.Other notes, that room I mentioned is reported in the app as approx 425 SF of driven surface area. Because the zigzag only starts as a 12 foot length, then turns around, it has a little gap in coverage between the next 12 foot zigzag area it starts after. That room has 3 zigzag zones if started in the corner. To prevent "burn in" in the same parts of the floor, I set the robot in a different place, which produced 2 full zigzag zones and 2 partials, using more battery in driving around to do the same job. I finally noticed, after the first room pass, it appears the map borders have been defined and that 12 foot limitation seemed to go away. You can tell the LIDAR and edge finding algorithms of smarter robots really raises the quality of navigation in those devices. This robot isn’t as random and bumpy as the first gen IRobots, but it’s not as good as the other $300 robots either.I find it hard to believe the zone drawing capability works well if the app doesn’t save the maps. I’m lucky that I don’t have actual no go zones and my floor was installed to be completely one level flat. To contain the robot to the rooms I want cleaned, I use one inch thick curtain rods I can adjust to my doorways, or just use the items I have to move out of the room anyway to block the doorways. It’s a workaround that doesn’t diminish my experience with the robot, but doesn’t improve it either.When watching the robot turn when next to table legs makes me think the programming was borrowed from a different robot that was completely round. This robot has flared out sides so that the brush can be wider. I don’t mind that, but when it does its 3 point turn in reverse maneuver, the robot rubs the flared part of its body like a teenager trying to parallel park, scraping other parked cars. I suspect that deviates the robot’s perceived location in the map its always recreating.Last nit, you can’t see what percent the battery is. This bugs me. Seems like a table stakes feature for any 21tt century device that can recharge.Other reviews say this works better for small rooms. It certainly couldn’t do a whole house in one try, and do a very good job. This mopper robot shouldn’t be compared that way, its strength is in pulling up the dirty water and leaving a cleaner floor without you putting your back into it. If you can deal with the literal hand holding this mopping robot requires, can be bothered with fine tuning its behavior, and the lady’s voice with a Chinese accent doesn’t trigger you for whatever reason, this is a really good mopper robot. I believe if the next model can iron out the kinks and the user experience gets raised to what you can buy at Best Buy, it could be the next Scooba.

The media could not be loaded.  This was purchased to alleviate my wife from mopping the floors as it would hurt her back.I didn't really expect much, but it does a decent job. The fact that it's automated cleaning I love it. Really easy to clean as well.The only thing I'd say about it that's negative is that you can't block it from an area using the same magnetic strip we use for the Shark Robot vacuum. But ... that's minor.It does leave a little water behind but my experience is that it dries up really quickly. It is quiet and efficient. As much as a round Robot can be in a square condo.If it keeps the wife happy, then it's one less thing I have to worry about.

Malheureusement, à la 1re utilisation, le robot dirait que je devait remplir le contenant d'eau propre, même s'il était plein. Même si l'application était installé et et même si j'ai vérifié la sortie, le robot signalait la même erreur, donc je l'ai retourné. Je suis en attente de remboursement. Je suis plutôt déçue, car c'était mon cadeau de fête des mères.
