Teendow G20 Robot Vacuum and Mop
Overall, I had a positive experience with this vacuum. I did, however, find myself disappointed with the lack of features in the app -- particularly the absence of a map. Because of this, I could not find a way to train the vacuum to avoid certain areas and could not verify when a specific area had been cleaned. The vacuum has a good battery life but isn't 100% consistent with its cleaning efficiency. While the price is in line with other robot vacuum/mops, I don't think it is a great price for what you get since there are some features missing.

User Experience
The vacuum comes in a simple retail box. There is an outlined image of the product on the front face of the box along with some icons that call out the vacuum’s main features. When you open the box, you find the manual package, the robot, and all its accessories in the protective cardboard crate. There are a lot of pieces and parts included so it’s important to get them all out to make sure nothing is missing before you start using the vacuum.
The next step in the set-up process is to plug in the charging base and set the vacuum on it so that it can get a full charge. I actually found the battery life to be very good. I didn’t have any issues with it running low after the vacuum had run for a while. And once it was done cleaning, the vacuum found its base and was able to reconnect with it easily — even with the base on carpet.
I was able to connect the vacuum to the mobile app easily enough and I found that the robot was pretty responsive to the app’s commands. I did, however, find the app a bit lacking when it came to features. One big thing that I found that was missing was a map. This was surprising to me since the website’s product page states that the user can “monitor the real-time cleaning route.” That led me to believe that a map would be drawn while the robot was running. I never found a place in the app for that option.
The biggest issue with this is that I could not tell the vacuum where not to go. We have a couple of areas in our house where cables can potentially be caught in a robot vacuum and this vacuum is small enough to get to those places. I don’t have any way to train the vacuum about these areas.
With that in mind, I used the basic operations — zig-zag cleaning, edge cleaning, spot cleaning, and automatic cleaning. The vacuum is very quiet out of the box, but I have found as you use robot vacuums longer, they tend to get a bit noisier. I thought the robot did an efficient job of cleaning the floors, but found that it didn’t seem to do a great job of completing a room’s coverage.
Using the Automatic Cleaning option, the vacuum would run until it hit an obstacle and then it would turn and go a different direction. Sometimes it looked as though it was moving in such a way that it was lining up with its previous path, but after watching it clean for 15 minutes, I noticed that it was a completely random pattern and that some floor space was getting missed.
I like this vacuum because it has a good battery life and is very easy to work with, but I would like to see it at least have a mapping option in the app so that you can see where it still needs to clean. I sill plan on using this vacuum, but only for minor cleaning jobs.
