OKP Life K2 Robot Vacuum Cleaner 1800 mAh, Blue

I bought this off of a whim because it was a todays deal. Didnt know the brand. I Love it. I posted the picture of the first time I tried it out. I have 3 cats and two dogs with hardwood floors and I was always sweeping. It did a great job. Even went under the table with all the chairs and came out. Went on the pats by the sink. It works great so far but only had it for two days. Great price.

I’ve had this since for about 8 months and I can’t imagine life without it. I have a husky German shepherd mix who wafts little puffs of fluff into the air as she walks. Anyone with a plush coated pup knows the struggle of keeping a floor free of pet hair. No matter when you last vacuumed, there will be more hair. I never expect it to do the job of a vacuum. It’s a sweeper. All carpets and nooks and crannies still need a real vacuum when it’s finished sweeping. That’s okay. We call it Marvin. The good: I bought Marvin for under 100 expecting it would be cheaply made and not as effective as the Shark I used to have. I was wrong. Marvin is my best friend. I am so impressed with it! It makes vacuuming a once per day job instead of an ongoing struggle. I am constantly surprised how much hair Marvin gets and how great my hard floors look. It came with replacements for each sweeping arm and the filter. Emptying it is simple, and cleaning the arms is as easy as pulling them off, removing whatever is caught, and snapping them back on. It has an optional app if you want to program the times it should run and a remote if you’d rather tell it to start without needing the app. Marvin has battery life is enough to thoroughly make its way through my living room, dining room, kitchen and hallway before needing to go home and recharge, which is perfect for us in our apartment where the rest of the rooms are carpeted and need a real vacuum. We love Marvin. The bad: Marvin is… stupid. We joke that it is time to play the lottery when Marvin actually finds its charging base and no one has intervened. Marvin also has no advanced AI learning like the expensive floor robots do. You will not be able to tell it *not* to go somewhere so if you have an area with cords it might eat, or an area it can get stuck… yeah, it’s going to unless you make a barricade it can’t get through. The app is only to program the times it turns on and the pattern of sweeping it does, not to program its path. When it does get stuck, it is obnoxiously loud trying to free itself before it gives up and sadly beeps for assistance. You’ll know it needs help before it does. For as inexpensive as it is, I’d recommend it to anyone who would like a sweeper bot but, like me, the 300-700 bots are way out of their price range. Marvin does a really good job and makes my life so much easier that I forgive its shortcomings without hesitation.

Overall, I really like this vacuum. The adjustable speed allows me to run it at a lower suction on my hardwood floors, increasing the length of cleaning cycles. It has a great battery life, cleaning for nearly 2 hours on a single charge! And it is far cheaper than most other robot vacuums I looked at. Additionally, the app is super responsive. If you click a button in the OKP Life app, the robot vacuum responds nearly instantaneously. (I have not noticed a difference in response times when using the app vs the remote.) My only complaint is that it is REALLY bad at docking (returning to home). At the end of a cleaning cycle, I have literally seen it wander around for 30+ minutes looking for its docking station. Just today, I watched it try to dock for about 20 minutes. (I was folding laundry and decided to just watch it try and fail to return to the charging base.) Seemingly it requires a direct line of sight to the base in order to dock. Thats already annoying, but worse yet, when approaching from the side, it tries to swing out before docking. Today, I was running it on my third floor/story, with the docking station directly across from the stairwell. It repeatedly rammed itself into the banister as it approached the docking station due to that swing-out behavior. If it wasnt for the fact that it takes forever for the vacuum to find its way home, I would give this a 5/5. Alas, that is super inconvenient, so I have to drop a star.

Pictures are my first dump out and I’m embarrassed but whatever lol. I tore my acl and have been out of commission since surgery and this queen has stepped up to get what I obviously haven’t been able to. She’s quiet and kind to the walls and animals. I will say we have to pick her up to get other rooms but that’s fine. Cleanopatra goes for a good minute but she fizzes out kinda fast. Don’t we all though! She’s now a member of the family!!! Game changer and Worth every penny!

It is smaller than the other Robots I have but is working efficiently. Dog hair did not clog the mechanisms. May order a second one.

Excelente

I’m very pleased with this robotic vacuum. I got it on sale and it was a fraction of the cost of others. As expected for a vacuum of this price, there are trade offs. Cookie Robot (which we’ve named “her”) does not have room mapping, so it is either relying on sensing (which involves a lot of goin back and forth until she finds her way) or using the remote to manually steer. She sometimes has difficulty finding her dock. This occasionally requires a bit of help via the remote. That said, she integrates with Alexa and other apps, for features like voice command cleaning and docking and scheduled cleaning. She does a great job on cereal and crumbs from the kids’ meals, which is the main reason I bough a robotic vacuum. There are absolutely better robotic vacuums out there, but for the price, this one is fantastic. Keep your expectations realistic and you’ll be very satisfied.

I cant figure out how to get this vacuum to stay on track as it has a mind of its own. It seems to be patterned oriented and wont let you redirect it easily to a high traffic area. It will continually go over and over the same area. Its OK. It does have an easy to empty dirt bin and easy to clean filter.

I havent programmed it all the way yet, but I use it all the time. I thought there was an issue with the charger because it wasnt turning back on. I tried various things until realizing you always turn it on and off again... and it was fine! So like all tech, if it doesnt want to do its job, flip that switch and itll go. It picks up all kinds of things. Even managed to consume a battery that fell under the couch... I have a doberman that sheds dunes of dander and this is a lifesaver.

I bought the vacuum because of the price and the reviews a little under a year ago. It did pretty well especially given the price and overall I was very impressed. It was my first actual robot vacuum and it seemed to do the trick just fine for what I used it to do. Anyway, I went away for about six months to school out of town and came back to use it. The vacuum power button flashed red and beeped at me, which indicated a charging/battery problem. Since then I’ve contacted customer service through the phone, and they recommended I email them. I did so, and it took them almost a month to get back to me which is fine because I took a bit to respond. They asked me for the serial number and things of that nature which is also okay. The problem arose when they asked for my order number, which I can’t seem to find since I bought this thing back in early 2021. I notified them of this and they said it was required. So what I did was I bought another one of these vacuums and provided this new order number. They sent me an email yesterday asking me to open up the vacuum and check the motherboard. For the normal consumer this would probably be daunting and I’m confused as to why they’d ask this of me. However I did as they asked because I do like to get hands on with these type of things. There seems to be nothing wrong with the motherboard, however I noticed a serious design flaw. On this style of vacuum, it has been copied by numerous brands. Most of them actually have an easy to open compartment where you can pop out the old battery and replace it. The OKP however, does NOT. The only way you can access the battery is by taking the whole top off, disconnecting all the wiring connected to the motherboard, and pulling off the motherboard itself. That’s a huge hassle that could’ve been EASILY avoided by just putting in a battery compartment that the consumer can access. Overall I liked the vacuum and for the price it was great, until it wasn’t. I think I’ll try getting one elsewhere by a more well known brand next time.
