I use this on the main level of my home. Over 800 sq ft of tile and 600 sq ft of carpet.
I’m basing this review on how well it cleans.
Honestly, my floors have never been this clean.
And using a smart vacuum/mop like this one has me using floor robots again.
I have now used the robot to clean the entire main level of the house at least 20 times.
Previous robots have frequently gotten stuck on objects, cords, towels, socks, almost anything on the floor.
And in all of the times I’ve used the X.40 it got stuck exactly once.
In my experience this is exceptional. Also, and this is important, I had turned off collision avoidance which makes the X 40 more sensitive to obstacles but keeps it a little further away from walls, etc. I think if collision avoidance had been turned on it would not have ever become stuck.
Why am I using robot vacuums again? I do not have to run around making sure there is absolutely nothing on the floor that a robot could get stuck on, but instead can just turn it loose and be confident that it will do the right thing. I do not come home and find that a robot got stuck early in the cleaning process and my floors are still dirty. The X 40 just does the right thing. For me this is a game changer. Literally. I tell it to clean, leave the house, and come back to clean floors. It’s awesome.
If I leave the house and forget to tell it to clean, I can use the app on my cell phone from anywhere to control it. Also great.
For the combination of floors I have described I set the very customizable mop wetness to almost maximum and tell it to clean the mops every 10 minutes. (it washes them! It doesn’t just spread dirty water around the floor when mopping!)
With these settings it is able to complete the cleaning without refilling the water or emptying the dirty water.
Another thing I very much like about this vacuum/mop is that my carpets never get wet or damp. You can configure the robot to drop the mops at the base station before it cleans carpet! Previous robots, although they lift the mops, have still dampened some of the thicker area rugs.
In fact, the ability to drop the mops before cleaning carpet is one of the reasons I bought the X 40 instead of other well reviewed robots.
The “clean genius“ setting does a good job. I have also set up Shortcuts that allow me to specify exactly what settings to use on a per room basis. If the kitchen floor is particularly messy after complex cooking, I use a shortcut to do repeated intensive cleaning.
Previous robots have been a nuisance in that they took a lot of maintenance between cleanings: wash the pads, empty the vacuum bin, clean the brushes.
Another game changer: the X40 returns to the base at a customizable frequency, where it empties the vacuum bin, automatically discharges the dirty water, refills the clean water, and actually washes the mop pads. With no intervention from me!
Instead of depending on me to intervene and empty the vacuum bin and wash the pads, the vacuum takes care of everything.
It even washes the base station!
My chores? No vacuuming. No mopping. If the floors are bad I just tell the robot to clean two or three times.
All I have to do? Tap out the filter to clear out the fine dust and dust bunnies. (You can also wash the filter and let it dry). Empty the dirty water and clean the dirty water tank by spraying it with my kitchen sink sprayer. Refill the clean water tank. Put the tanks back in the base and walk away.
The entire routine takes less than 10 minutes, and aside from handling the water tanks, which takes three or four minutes, I only do the full routine every three or four cleanings.
Also, the brush roller is very easy to service. The end caps remove and any string or hair that is wrapped around the axle can just be pulled off. Much easier than my previous robot which was very much a nuisance to detangle.
The software is extensively customizable. The one thing I will say about the software is that although I have been able to customize the behavior of the robot to a great degree, the software is sometimes not easy to use.
The options are there, but the language used is sometimes confusing and options can be difficult to find and interpret. I trust this is a work in progress.
Despite the use of the software occasionally being difficult to figure out, for me this is well compensated by the very extensive customizability.
All in all, I love having clean floors. I very much appreciate the independence of this robot, it’s ability to take care of itself; the tiny amount of time it requires from me; the extensive customizability; the ability to remotely control the robot; the locator function (makes it beep); and the onboard camera that tells me where things are.
I like the X40 so much that I bought the very similar but less expensive X 30 for my downstairs.
I also bought an X 30 for my college daughter, who also loves her clean floors.
She also loves that her cats are not afraid of it. Her previous robot vacuum was not usable after she got cats. To navigate it just bumped off of things and I think the random movement frightened the cats. It was unpredictable.
The X 40 and X 30 map the rooms and go back-and-forth in rows and columns very predictably and very efficiently. The cats are fine with it
Also, if a cat comes over and is curious and stands in front of it the vacuum turns away and avoids the pet. It’s very pet friendly.
All of the positives have completely overwhelmed the minor complaints I have about the sometimes difficult software.
I should also note that just right out of the box I used the clean genius setting and the robot did a very very good job.
Unless you are a tinkerer like me I think the automatic settings are much more than adequate.
Lots of praise and very very few complaints.
I don’t think I realized how much I like this vacuum/mop until I started writing this review, which I had intended to be very brief.
I forgot to mention the very responsive customer support!
