The Prayer plant, known as Maranta leuconeura, is a popular choice among houseplant enthusiasts due to its stunning foliage and relatively easy-care needs. Known for its uniquely patterned and colorful leaves, this plant adds a vibrant touch to indoor spaces, making it one of the most sought-after houseplants. Those looking for a pet-friendly plant will be pleased to know that prayer plants are non-toxic to both pets and humans.   

The Prayer Plant is so named for its unique habit of folding its leaves upward in the evening, as if in prayer. This remarkable movement is a natural circadian rhythm known as “nyctinasty,” in which the leaves respond to light levels by opening flat during the day and curling up at night. In addition to being closely related to the red prayer plant, this intriguing behavior gives any indoor garden a dynamic and lively feel. 

Native to South America, it is also called the “Rabbit Tracks” plant. The Green Maranta Prayer Plant is renowned for its unique patterned leaves, featuring light green backgrounds and dark green blotches along the central vein.

These distinctive spots create a visually appealing contrast and resemble animal tracks. This eye-catching foliage, combined with the plant's low-growing habit, makes it a perfect choice for table displays, shelves, or hanging baskets.

The Maranta leuconeura is a compact plant that typically reaches a mature size of 12 inches tall and 12 inches wide. In its natural environment, it grows as a ground cover, spreading low along the forest floor under the shade of taller trees.  

The Prayer plant flowers bloom in the spring with small, delicate, white, or pale lavender flowers on thin stalks. While not as showy as the foliage, these flowers add a delicate charm to the plant’s overall appearance. However, many people grow the Maranta green prayer plant primarily for its decorative foliage, as the blooms are typically short-lived and less prominent.  

When and How to Water Your Prayer Plant  

Even though your prayer plant can withstand some dry conditions, it still requires regular watering to thrive. These prayer plants are not highly drought tolerant, so do not allow them to completely dry out. It is critical to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Water the plant once the top inch of soil feels dry to the touch. Make sure the pot has a drainage hole to avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot. Avoid getting water on the leaves to prevent fungal diseases.

According to one theory, the prayer plant movement is intended to maximize water capture. During the day, they lower their leaves to absorb moisture and rain water, while at night, they move inward to retain water and direct any water to the center of the plant.   

In the spring and summer, during the growing season, you may need to water your prayer plant more frequently, possibly every 1-2 weeks, depending on the humidity levels in your home. In contrast, in the fall and winter, when the plant is in its dormant phase, you can reduce watering, allowing the soil to dry out slightly between waterings.

It's crucial to use room temperature water when watering your prayer plant, as cold water can shock the roots. Additionally, consider using distilled or filtered water to prevent the build-up of salts and chemicals from tap water, which can harm the plant over time. By following these watering guidelines and paying attention to your plant's moisture needs, you can help your Maranta leuconeura thrive and display its beautiful, patterned leaves.

Light Requirements – Where to Place Your Prayer Plant 

When growing indoors the prayer plant prefers bright, indirect light for at least 4-6 hours daily. Place your prayer plant near a window where it can receive filtered bright light or in a room with ample ambient light. Direct sunlight can scorch the leaves, so it's best to avoid placing them in harsh, direct light.

Additionally, they can tolerate low light conditions, though not extremely low ones. If your indoor space lacks natural light, you can supplement this houseplant with artificial grow lights to provide the necessary light intensity for your plant.

When considering outdoor conditions for your prayer plant, it's essential to replicate its preferred indoor environment.

If you choose to move your Maranta leuconeura outdoors, ensure it is placed in a shaded or partially shaded area. Direct sun light can be too intense for the prayer plant's delicate leaves and may lead to leaf burn.

By providing a sheltered spot with dappled sunlight or indirect light, you can create a suitable outdoor environment for your prayer plant to thrive. Remember to monitor the plant's response to its new outdoor location and adjust as needed to maintain optimal light conditions for healthy growth.   

Optimal Soil & Fertilizer Needs

The prayer plant thrives in well-draining, peat-based potting acidic soil that retains moisture without becoming waterlogged. A mix that includes peat moss, perlite, or sand can help maintain the ideal balance of moisture and aeration for your plant's roots. Instead, make or buy a well-draining potting mix, or ideally, use our specialized potting mix, opens in a new tab that contains 5 natural substrates and mycorrhizae to promote the development of a strong root system that helps your houseplant to thrive. Ensure the pot has drainage holes to prevent water from pooling at the bottom, which can lead to root rot. 

In terms of fertilizing your prayers plant, it's best to use a balanced, water-soluble NPK fertilizer with a ratio of 5-10-5. During the growing season in spring, you can fertilize your Maranta leuconeura once a year to provide essential nutrients for healthy growth. However, reduce fertilization frequency or stop altogether during the plant's dormant period in fall and winter. Over-fertilizing can cause salt build-up in the soil, leading to nutrient imbalances and potential damage to the plant.  

Hardiness Zones & More

For indoor growing prayer plants, they prefer average room temperatures ranging from 65-75°F. It's essential to avoid exposing the plant to temperature extremes or drafts, as they can stress the plant and affect its growth. Maintaining a consistent temperature within this range will help your plant flourish indoors. 

For outdoor cultivation, the prayer plant is typically suited for USDA zones 11-12, where temperatures remain consistently warm throughout the year. If you live in a region within these zones, you can consider growing your Maranta leuconeura outdoors in a shaded or partially shaded area. Ensure the plant is protected from direct sunlight to prevent leaf burn and maintain optimal growth conditions. By selecting a suitable spot in your garden or patio that mimics the plant's preferred indoor environment, you can provide a conducive outdoor setting for your prayer plant. 

When it comes to humidity requirements, the prayer plant thrives in moderate to high humidity levels. Indoor environments can often be dry, especially during the winter months when heating systems are in use. To increase humidity around your Maranta leuconeura, you can place a humidifier nearby, use a pebble tray filled with water, or group plants together to create a microclimate with higher humidity. Regularly misting the plant's leaves can also help increase humidity levels and prevent them from drying out.

Wildlife – Prayer Plant Attracts the Following Friendly Pollinators 

The prayer plant, Maranta leuconeura, attracts pollinators and insects through its unique and vibrant flowers. The plant produces small, white flowers with delicate purple spots that are visually appealing to pollinators like bees, hummingbirds, and butterflies. These insects are drawn to the flowers' nectar and play a crucial role in pollinating the plant, facilitating the production of seeds for future growth. Additionally, the plant's foliage, with its striking patterns and colors, can also attract other beneficial insects like ladybugs and lacewings, which help control pest populations in the surrounding environment.

Toxicity: According to the ASPCA, Maranta leuconeura is non-toxic to cats and dogs, and humans. This makes it a pet-friendly option for homes with pets, as it doesn’t pose a risk of toxicity if accidentally ingested by cats, dogs, or other pets. This feature, along with its beautiful foliage, makes the Prayer Plant a popular choice for pet owners who want to add greenery to their homes without worrying about harmful effects on their animals. 

How to Propagate a Prayer Plant 

To propagate the prayer plant, you can use division or stem cuttings. Division involves separating the plant at the roots into smaller sections, each with a healthy root system and growth points. When taking stem cuttings, select a healthy stem with several leaves and nodes, then place it in water or a moist potting mix to encourage root development. Ensure the cuttings have adequate humidity and warmth to support root growth. With proper care and attention, you can successfully propagate your prayer plant to expand your collection or share it with fellow plant enthusiasts. 

Key Takeaways

  1. The prayer plant, known for its striking foliage and unique leaf movements, is a popular indoor plant due to its vibrant colors and slow growth rate.
  2. According to the ASPCA, it is safe for homes with cats and dogs, as it is non-toxic.
  3. Its leaves fold up at night as if in prayer, a fascinating response to light levels.
  4. Though it does not prefer prolonged drought-tolerance, it can withstand short dry periods and prefers consistently moist, well-draining soil.
  5. It produces small, delicate white or lavender flowers, though it rarely blooms indoors.

The Bottom Line 

Overall, the prayer plant (Maranta leuconeura) is a captivating houseplant known for its stunning foliage with intricate patterns that fold up at night, resembling praying hands, hence its name. This plant not only adds a touch of elegance to indoor spaces but also attracts pollinators with its charming flowers. To care for your prayer plant, ensure it receives indirect light, consistent moisture, and high humidity levels. Avoid direct sunlight and overwatering to prevent root rot. Regularly misting these indoor plants and occasionally wiping their leaves with a damp cloth can help maintain their lush appearance. By providing the right conditions and attention, you can enjoy the beauty of the prayer plant while creating a healthy environment for it to thrive in your home.

Updated 1/28/2020 update 1/17/2020 It's been everything it was advertised to be and more. (Not)
Size: 11S
I called Amazon again today. Explained the situation and that no one from Amazon or Eufy had returned my calls as they promised. Also after replacing the battery at my own expense it ran 90 minutes again but got stuck everywhere, made this weird ratcheting type noise every time it changed surfaces and finally today just beeped at me twice and died. Supposedly that indicates a seized brush but they all spin freely. This time I just flat out asked them to look at my Amazon account and replace it, as I'm a very good customer. New one will be here tomorrow. I'll do a separate review on that one as it took me forever to find this one again. I'll also let you know if it's a refurbished unit or not. Well wouldn't you know it. I leave a nice review and a few days later, Murphy's law rears it's ugly head. Device is 3 months old a couple weeks out of the exchange warranty and the battery is shot. Runs 5 or 10 minutes on a full charge. Called Amazon to see if since I am a really long standing customer if they'd help me out. Nope but we'll call Eufy support on your behalf and they will call you. We will also call you to follow up. I've been a customer service manager a lot of years and this is where employees can kill you. This Amazon person made me multiple promises. It's been a week no call from Eufy, no call from Amazon. You just turned 4 stars into 1 and if this is all the longer the batter lasts don't bother because the replacements are $25 to $30 bucks depending on the brand. I'm not spending a hundred bucks a year on batteries and this thing should be under warranty. After 3 days I ordered a new battery and Rosie is running again but I'm no longer pleased and the next time I'll buy another brand. If if this battery doesn't last the whole thing goes in the trash and I buy something else. I run this every day maybe the batteries won't take that I don't know. But if you're going to run it every day buy something else. This didn't last long enough at all. I wanted to wait a while to be sure I had a good sampling and could post a fair and useful review. It's been 90 days now. We have two large (bigger than standard) labradoodle puppies. 85 and 50 pounds and they're 1st generation so they shed a lot. They also, being puppies, have tore the yard up so it is basically a mud pit and they wrestle, run, and fight constantly. They put a lot of dirt and hair on the floors and in the air. We run "Rosie" every day. Yes my wife named it. It does an amazing job on our hardwood floors and throw rugs. It gets all the hair and an incredible amount of dust and dirt. What I mean by that is we can run our Dyson or the Shark Pet vacuum and then run Rosie and the chamber will be full of dust and dirt when she's done. It's almost disconcerting to know our very expensive upright vacuums leave so much behind. It also has the unadvertised ability to buff our hardwood floors. They shine when she's done and the beater brush is showing no signs of damaging the finish on our floors. I would disagree with some of the reviews and even the manufacturers assertion that it doesn't work well on dark floors. Our hardwood floors are a dark reddish brown. The device works great on them and as I said when it's finished they shine. We have agreed we will never be without one and love this device. It does everything it has been advertised to do and more. Also it is set to automatic power and runs longer than the advertised time on a full charge. We get about 2 hours and 15 minutes. We've put down an additional 6 throw rugs for the rainy snow season in the path where the dogs run when they come in and the time has dropped to around 90 to 100 minutes. Still long enough to cover everything well and more than once. It does keep going until it needs a charge it doesn't just run and go back to the dock. I've noticed in the open areas like our living room it might hit that 2 or even 3 times. The floors are like glass after that. Now for the negatives, and these are not deal breakers I'm just being fair. The dirt and dust I referred to is new to us. we recently moved from Illinois to Ohio. In Illinois the dirt is black. Here it is red or a very light brown. The vacuum gets externally dirty. It gets covered with dust/dirt and does not look good. The device is black and the dust is light colored and is readily apparent. I don't want to put it away all the time or for company so thats a problem for me and more cleaning which is not advertised so I'm mentioning it. Secondly it needs to be emptied every use or every other use. They are all like that except some of the super expensive robot vacuums so I wouldn't mention it except for my third negative. It is hard to clean from a mess standpoint. Not so much with the pet hair but with the dust. When you dump it the dust goes everywhere. Unless you have an empty trash can so you can get it way down inside when you're done the garbage can lid and sometimes the floor around the garbage can is clearly dusty from emptying the vacuum. The filters need to be removed at least every other running and they are also a big dusty mess. I also don't believe they will last as long as advertised. I have an air compressor in the garage and a hand held electric air compressor and use those to clean the filter. The foam piece I rinse in the sink. I don't think that someone without access to those tools is going to get the life out of the filters thats advertised. The device comes with a set of replacement filters and the rotating brushes. Not the beater bush though. Our unit is 3 months old. I had to replace the filters at about 40 days and tried to make them last a little longer this time but it hasn't worked out. The outside of the device is filthy. I believe this is due to the filters. The brushes have lasted longer than the suggested replacement time. They are 90 days old and still look like new. Last and has been a rare negative. The device will get stuck under things. Once I learned what the obstacles were in our home it was easy to fix. Some areas I blocked with rolled up moving blankets. I pull the chairs out from under the kitchen table to allow room for it to maneuver. If I don't it gets under there and spends way too much time cleaning and trying to get out. I'd rather it spend less time under there so it can do the whole cleaning area and have power left to do it again. I had the problem spots corrected and figured out within the first 30 days. I've read some units have a tape or something the vacuum will sense and avoid. I wish this unit had that but then again at this price point that is probably an unfair expectation. So those are the pro's and con's we've encountered. The con's are all minor irritants and not a reason not to buy the device as all of these devices are prone to these issues except one or two of the very very expensive units. To repeat what I said earlier this device has worked out so well we have decided that we will never be without one and that when the time comes to replace her we will not feel bad about spending the money for a high dollar unit as it is worth it. Time is worth more to us than money and this thing saves us a great deal of time. It does great job, has done no damage to anything, and if it weren't for the clean up issues would be a five star review. I hope this helps someone make an informed decision and I hope you buy one. It's an amazing little machine, stands up to all the reviews, and truly is the best bang for your buck in robot vacuums.

Amazing cleaning partner!! Love!
Color: Black - 03
This is my first robot vacuum and I'm in love with it! I love being able to be doing something else, folding laundry, making dinner etc while this is cleaning the floors. Harry, as I've named him, is my cleaning partner. While it by no means replaces the suction on a standard push vacuum It's great at those between cleanings to keep things picked up. We have a dog with long white hair and a cat so hair clean up is always an issue and I'm very ocd about my house being clean. The suction doesn't leave my thick carpet hair free by any means but it's a great help to keep up with it. I read a lot of reviews before buying so wanted to share my experience after having this about two months now and using several times a week. I vacuum the house during the week with Harry and he mops my hard floors on the weekend...and I do a stand up vacuuming with my big vac on the weekend. I hope this helps you! Here are some of my thoughts on how this thing "Harry" works: MOPPING. This feature is amazing!!! And one of the few robo vacs with the option. I love being able to put a little cleaner and water in the bin and let it do its thing. This model doesn't have the ability to map rooms you want it to clean in (if your carpet butts up to hard floors) but I found an easy solution. As my bar stools and garbage cans need to be moved so Harry can mop everything I just use them to block off my great room so it stays on the hard floors. Leaves my floors pretty dang clean and smelling good, while I do other things! You can also buy magnetic tape to block room's but I don't see the need with my blocking technique, and I just close the doors to my carpeted bedrooms. Wet the pad on the bottom before starting to help get it going, the water in the container slowly seeps out so getting the pad wet ensures its starts mopping right away. Will need to refill water bin about every 30 min. I use a little fresh scent pine sol then fill rest with water. SUCTION. The suction is great on hard floors gets everything up. The side sweeper is great against walls and cabinets. I have thick carpet so didn't expect it to suck everything up but it does a great job. Still leaves my dogs hair behind a bit. I use my big vacuum once a week for a deeper cleaning. For what it is this little guy does pretty good! OBJECT AVOIDANCE. My husband wanted the model that is twice the price or more that has the laser mapping eye. Not sure how that works but for the price this works just great! It senses something before running into it, slows down then gently bumps it and turns around. Also the low profile is great for getting under beds and dressers where hair and dirt hides, love this! Not saying I wouldn't like the laser mapping eye but didn't want to spend 2x+ the amount and this has proven to work really well. NAVIGATION. While I know other models are more technologically advanced again for the price this works great. It vacuums in straight lines which is great for my ocd. If it runs into an obstacle it can get off track from those lines as its works it's way around things. Sometimes it seems confused and goes back and forth in the same area, but generally works itself out and keeps going. I would like to be able to control where it goes in the house but not available on this model, but again for the price I'll say I don't really mind. I just let it go where it wants or shut it in an area if I want it to stay in there. BATTERY. The battery is pretty great. Runs for 2+ hours before needing to charge. I have a 2,700 sf rambler and it can't get through the whole house before needing to charge. If it were a tad more efficient in navigation it probably could, but does spend some time trying to figure out where it is and where to go. I just charge it and set it loose on the other side of the house. MAP/APP It has a map feature that is only to show you where it went during the clean up. You can't interact with the map or tell the vaccum to work in certain areas with it. But I knew this when I bought it so wasn't expecting that. If you are looking for a vacuum you can tell where to go then spend more for the upgraded models. I don't feel a huge need for this, works fine for me. The app is more for basic settings, you can turn it on and off and see what it's doing, battery life, have it call out to you if you can't find it. You can hook to Alexa which is awesome to say "tell Harry to start" and off it goes. Again you can't control its direction or rooms work the app it's more for stop/go and basic settings and maintenance. STAIRS. We have a sunken living room with a step.down the whole length if the room, hasn't fallen once. Its senses the step, and moves away, kinda bounces along the step turning, Sensing and moving it's way along it. Perfect. DUST BIN. this model has one of or the largest bins on the market, its holds a lot for hours of work. It's easy to access right on top, open the side and empty. The filter pops out so you can clean it, found taking outside and bumping on concrete left a good amount of dirt. NOISE. I think it's pretty quiet for a vacuum cleaner. I only have my noisy stand up to compare to and its much quieter than that. It's basically just the light suction noise, I don't hear the motor at all. OVERALL. For the price this is the best investment I could have made to help keep my house clean during the week while I'm busy with work. I love being able to start it and walk away accomplishing other things and come back to clean floors. It's a little misguided at times but nothing bad. I'm sure more expensive models are a bit more intelligent but for $350 this is the best option out there. I would highly recommend if you need a helping hand. My favorite feature is the mopping, I hate mopping floors and this does the job for me! This thing is amazing and I can't believe I've never had one, will never be without now! Happy cleaning!!

Vacs AND Mops Great!!! We love her! 🩷
Color: White
This little machine (lovingly named Yvette) does an amazing job!! I was skeptical of its mopping capabilities after reading mixed reviews, but I can attest that it does a great job lightly mopping (not mega gross sticky messes, just water stains and normal dirt). I included a video. The vacuum function is also fantastic. The only issue so far was a chair with a bar that goes across the floor. She got stuck on it and had to rescued. While she navigates extremely well in our single-story home with tile, vinyl flooring & low pile rugs, she does ruffle up the rug corners a bit on the lighter-weight ones. I just pick them up and toss them in the wash while she cleans. I will say you need to pick up your charger cords! She will swallow them whole and keep on going 😂 The good news is, the roller comes out easily and nothing was damaged. The cord was fine also. I think this was a great investment. It is a little loud, but nowhere near as loud as a standard vacuum cleaner. Just make sure to pick up toys, cords, dog toys…just like you would if you were doing the work, and all will be fine. I ordered disposable vac bags and a kit with extra mop cloths, roller, cleaning tool and brushes. It only cost about 20$. Well worth it!!! The battery life is good, but I do mop in the “zone” function rather than the whole house. That way I can put a new mop pad on and top off the water and Yvette can take her union break (charge up) before going on to the next area😉. She does manage to vacuum the entire house without needing to charge, which is awesome.

Exceptional Performance! It works!
Color: White - 04, Color: White - 04
Let me start by saying I have purchased no less than 5 robot vacuums over the years and every single one led to disappointment in their operation, performance, and/or features. So my expectations weren’t the highest, but I was hoping the S7 was worth the hefty price and wouldn’t be a another dud. The Roborock S7 was by far the most expensive robot vacuum I’ve ever purchased. I never went over $350.00 with my previous robot buys. But after reading reviews and specs of the S7 and comparing it to countless other vacuums for months and debating with myself about buying the S7, I felt I had researched enough and went ahead and gave it a go. Wow! I am so glad I decided on this particular robot vacuum! ************** The vacuum: The suction is great and the carpet boost really helps pick up dog hair from my three large dogs that are constantly shedding around the house and on the living room rug they like to sleep on. It’s actually pretty unbelievable how well it picks up dog hair and dust/dirt off my rugs, tile, and hardwood flooring that the dogs bring in all day. I love how it is able to get under my beds, most furniture and two couches. I neglect those areas pretty frequently, so it’s nice to not worry about dog hair and dust piling up under them. The S7 is amazing when it comes to vacuuming. It is seriously efficient, you can see where and what room the robot is in via the app and the progress it is making, and they battery life while running is fantastic. Speaking of the app, It is wonderful and easy to use - I love how you can send the robot to vacuum different rooms or certain spots in the house as well as the number of times you want it to pass over the selected room/area. The no go areas and invisible wall functions work perfectly. I’ve had no issues at all setting them up and the S7 recognizes them every time. I’ve had no issues with the robot getting hung up or stuck on something while running. It’s the first robot I’ve had that didn’t need full time babysitting while it was vacuuming. The navigation and mapping of my house are both exceptional. It still runs into certain things but is able to recognize and move around the object. As soon as it has finished cleaning, the S7 will return to the base and empty itself in its bin (if you purchased the auto empty base) and start charging itself. —— Vacuum CONs: As far as my personal observations go, I can only note one con and that’s with the bags for the the auto empty dock. I wish the bags were washable and reusable. I get that the current bags are sealed and keep the dust/debris inside the bag and out of the air and off the floors, but a reusable bag would be great for some buyers who try to keep unnecessary waste to a minimum. For some, the sealed bags wouldn’t be an issue at all and could possibly be a pro. But for me, it’s a small annoyance. ************** The mop: I love that you don’t have to switch out attachments between mopping and vacuuming. The S7 can mop and vacuum at the same time, which is so convenient. Mop CONS: —— You can only use water in the mop tank, which I know some buyers didn’t like because it doesn’t sanitize the floors at all. My work around is using electrolyzed water, which is as effective as bleach at killing germs. Google force of nature cleaner if you want to use water in the mop to sanitize. I’ve had no issues using electrolyzed water and it makes the house smell clean and deodorized. —— without a doubt you will still need to mop your house. The S7 is great for in-between mopping days. When it rains, my dogs track mud in onto my tile floors. The mop function isn’t going to get the mud up well enough. It will get some up, but not enough to be satisfied with the result. But it does great for very light mopping jobs and mopping under most furniture so you don’t need to move things around to mop underneath. *************** Bottom Line: Seriously, I can not recommend the Roborock S7 enough. I would buy it again in a heartbeat. While it was the priciest robot vacuum I’ve ever purchased by a long shot, I’m so glad that, for me at least, it was worth getting over the price sticker shock. It performs fantastic when it comes to vacuuming and the mop function is great for light mopping between good old fashioned bucket and mop cleanings. The S7 gets a rating of 4.7/5 from me. It exceeded my expectations by a miles!

Charge. Press button. Floors cleaned!
Color: White - 03
In a nutshell, you will LOVE this vacuum if you have smooth hard surface floors like luxury vinyl planks (LVP), hardwood, etc. Truly, it’s the best thing since the automatic washing machine! It also does well on tile floors for vacuuming, but for mopping, it’s basically is a Swiffer so your grout may not be as clean as you want. I don’t have carpet, but I have 2 small rugs. It recognizes when it switches to rugs/carpets but it takes a couple seconds for it to kick into “Max” suction, so my rugs were only partially cleaned. The details… FYI, you’ll need an outlet area with quite a bit of clearance around it for the charging base – 3 feet on either side and 5 feet in front of it (per the manual). Allow about 4 hours for it to fully charge for the first time. Installing the app on an iPhone and connecting the vacuum to your 2.5 gig Wi-Fi (after entering Wi-Fi password) you: 1) Click on the button at the bottom of the app to proceed. 2) Your Wi-Fi settings open, then you click on the Roborock. 3) Close “Settings” and click on the Roborock app. Now the Roborock S5 Max is setup. OK, I named my Roborock “Rosie” (after the Jetson’s robot maid), so “it” is changing to a “she”. 😊 Vacuuming: Just press the button on the Roborock and she says “Starting to clean” and takes off! The first time cleaning she’ll make a map of your place, which you can view in the app. She uses her external brush on the right side to sweep in dirt toward her and then vacuums it up! She really digs into areas while cleaning around obstacles. She swept in my small walk-in closet but didn’t disturb my clothes that were hanging to the floor. BIG BONUS: her low profile allows her to clean areas that I very rarely clean! She went under my beds, night stands and dressers! She even went BEHIND the couch! If she can get to it, she’ll clean it! But on the flip side, make sure you don’t have things like boxes, power cords, etc. which can get in the way of cleaning. The app shows the power settings for vacuuming: Balanced, Turbo and Max. It’s defaulted to “Balanced” mode which appears to be lower suction for hard floors and it increases power when it’s on a rug. On that note though, she did not do a good job cleaning small rugs. I have LVP throughout the condo and tile in the bathrooms. I like running her on Turbo mode which is slightly noisier and uses a bit more power. If you have tile floors with grout, it might be better to use a higher suction mode to clean the grout better. Repositioning: Originally, I plugged her into a spot that had the required clearance, but thought I’d try a different spot where the bed is only 4 feet in front of her, BUT she can go under the bed, so that gives her the clearance she needs. When I started her up in her new location, she moved forward, looked around and then said “Positioning”. Then she roamed around the room and briefly outside the bedroom and said “Positioning complete”. Now she knew where she was and started on her merry way vacuuming the condo! No go zone: I didn’t want her to chew up my tree skirt around the Christmas tree so I used the app to draw a “no go zone”. You can draw a box on the map or in my case, I drew some lines. Sure enough, she didn’t go past the lines I drew in and my Christmas tree skirt was spared! Bottom line: 17 stars out of 5! She does a GREAT job and I love that she vacuums UNDER things that I typically ignore. The mopping is also a great feature that helps your floors look fresh and clean. Although this doesn’t replace YOU vigorously mopping your floors, it definitely helps to keep lightly dirty floors cleaner. I can’t say how well she works on carpet, but if you have mostly a hard surface floor, she’s a HUGE help!
