[@MrLukeistheduke]

Great review my friend! I appreciate you going through all of the setup steps! Thank you!

[@itsbobmcqueen]

Many thanks, I spent a long time trying to get it to pair and you provided a clearly explained path to success

[@fuzzypear01]

This was sooooo helpful. Ty for your time!!

[@GadgetOwners]

Glad I could help! Thanks for stopping by!

[@niamhperreault4844]

I love this little thing, I just got it this week. Thanks for the great video, especially the mapping function and set up detail. I may end up with one upstairs one downstairs and its still better value than one rumba :)

[@GadgetOwners]

Right! I still can't believe how well they work! lol :D

[@Wiztheskymage]

Awesome video thanks a bunch man!

[@GadgetOwners]

Glad to help!

[@emelitamcentee2875]

Thanks for the video! It’s a great help 👍

My pleasure!

Dude great video! Thank you

[@GadgetOwners]

You bet!

[@mytla67]

Just received this robot today and thank goodness I found your video! Great instructions! Just started using it right now! So far so good! 👍🏼

[@GadgetOwners]

Great to hear! :D

[@Tom-em3dv]

Cool

[@JMSouchak]

Great video, I couldn't figure out how to get the mapping setup! Thank you!

[@ronmcdowell4794]

I love mine! I named her Rhoda. It really works well. Just make sure electric cords are out of the way.

[@amymccormick5360]

Best review, I was having trouble with the dust bin

[@mej2255]

Love this Robot. I have the OPK2 !

[@GadgetOwners]

Yeh, I love mine too. I saw a video where someone put those big fake googly eyes on theirs so when it roamed around it looked like it was alive, I'm thinking about adding some to mine, LOL

[@terrywickham781]

Thank you for this great review ;0). Now I wish there were a duster for furniture that is good!

[@GadgetOwners]

You and me both! If they ever make one I'll review it on the channel! :D

[@kaylastrause9518]

Thanks so much for showing how to do the mapping! I’ve had this robot for a year and could never figure it out!!!

[@GadgetOwners]

My pleasure! Thanks for stopping by!

Thank you

[@gonzolubel]

thank you!!

My pleasure!

[@ilovechalley]

Great video! Is there a way to set up a “no go” area? My couch is the perfect height and it always gets stuck under it.

[@CONNIES-ue1bv]

I can't get mine to go back to the charger? Does it need to be set for each area? I have a large open area but pick it up to do an area that is 2 steps up to do another level. Does that mess up the memory?

[@nesanelmales6047]

Thanks for the video! Question: If you move it to another part of your house, say your upstairs how does that work with it learning the layout of your house? Thanks

[@GadgetOwners]

It remaps the layout each time it starts so I would imagine it would map the upper floor separately from the lower floor. I only have one floor in my current house or else I'd test it out right now.

[@mdnajibulhossain3967]

Are you able to name room sections once mapping is done and just have it vacuum 1 section?

[@MrGzmn]

Have you determined how automation works? I tried and it does the random path cleaning and not the Bow path, even though I set it for bow path.

[@GadgetOwners]

If you set it up the same way as the video and its still not working, try sending it back to the home base, wait 10 seconds, and then try the routine again by clicking the vacuum button we created on the home page of the app.

[@rafaelcastillo5104]

b I have a problem my robot stays on red two sounds, I check brushes and they are clean, but it does not work

[@ScottAT]

I just bought one. I’m hoping it will make it over the lip from kitchen to hallway and living room. I’m a disabled Veteran and getting the dust bunnies under my bed is really wicked on my injuries and arthritis.

[@GadgetOwners]

How did it work? If it is having trouble making it over the lip then there are these cable guards on amazon that work as ramps that might be worth trying: amzn.to/3Msel4v

[@ScottAT]

@@GadgetOwners hi, it works great. Not just good but great! Way exceeded my expectations. I was about to get this exact one, but I cancelled that order and picked up the K3 version for the mop. The mop is only “ok” but since it cost 107 dollars on Amazon I am very happy with its performance over all.

[@deedercakes]

Can you specify a specific room/area?

[@dallasmany1]

Nice video, how did you sinc Alexa to the vacuum?

[@GadgetOwners]

You just have to download and sync the Smart Life skill in your alexa app. Then, if you followed every step in this video, you can say "Alexa, Start The Vacuum" to start the cleaning program we just created.

[@terrywickham781]

Alexa, invent a good furniture duster that vacuums dust!!! lol

[@GadgetOwners]

Hahah! "Alexa, give me a million dollars!!! xD

[@TheBigburcie]

Have you considered a miniature blimp with smart dusting wand?

[@terrywickham781]

@@TheBigburcie Where do you get this dusting wand? ;0)

[@stephenlindsey7293]

I can’t get mine to map on the app, suggestions as to what I’m doing wrong?

[@GadgetOwners]

It will only map when in the "Right Bow-Shaped Path" mode. If you follow the instructions in the video exactly, it should be working. If it's not you may want to contact the manufacturer for further troubleshooting steps, or maybe a possible replacement.

[@SomeSay50]

Anyone happen to know if there is a Google voice command to have the K2 robo vacuum immediately stop and return to docking station? When I say “..stop…” it pauses the vacuum. Although, eventually when the battery gets low it will to back to the charger on its own obviously. I just got it so maybe I am just not being patient enough after asking it to “stop”, until it returns to charge? Other logical commands aren’t recognized by Google to get to to go there right away. Thank you for any help in advance!

[@GadgetOwners]

I wish I could help Jay but I only have an Alexa. I know you can make it return to the charger pretty easily with the smartphone app.

[@greggpennington4819]

@@GadgetOwners Yeah...On the phone app, you just press "Charging Base" and it returns.

[@krystalsanchez3775]

I just took my out of storage for my office. After setting everything up, the vacuum has been blinking red for over 2 hours. Do you know why this would be happening?

[@GadgetOwners]

The battery most likely needs more time to charge if it's been off of its base for awhile. Let it charge until the light turns blue or purple, then try again.

[@balee5581]

Just bought one but it is not auto mapping for me. So wondering if anyone can help with that.

[@GadgetOwners]

Did you follow the steps in the video exactly and it is still not working?

[@knockeledup]

After your house has been mapped, does the robot vacuum just in the areas it already mapped then go back to its base, or does it keep vacuuming until the battery is low?

[@GadgetOwners]

It vacuums everything it can and then does a pass around the edges to make sure it got everything, then goes back to the charger. To do multiple passes just restart it once it gets to its base. Also, if you have a large house and its not able to finish the job before the battery runs low, it will go back to its base automatically to recharge for awhile, and then go finish the rest of the house. They're so convenient! lol

[@mdnajibulhossain5827]

@@GadgetOwners it didn't do that on mine. It went back to charge but din go back to finish the job. Is there a different setting am missing?

[@armandonappo4375]

Ciao, in una casa di 55 metri quadri cn potenza massima c’è la fa con una passata??

[@GadgetOwners]

Potrebbe essere finito in un unico passaggio. Può anche tornare al caricabatterie per ricaricarsi automaticamente se necessario, e poi continuerà fino a quando l'intero pavimento non sarà pulito. Sto utilizzando Google Translate

[@wildwit]

I've just received this robot and this video is very helpful; so the OKP life App isn't that good? Thanks

[@GadgetOwners]

I prefer the Smart Life app but the OKP Life app works pretty well too, they are similar in many ways.

[@michelleyard1022]

And I don't have a 2.4 wifi source. So no app for me, I guess. Workarounds??

[@rehman1995]

It wont conenct to my wifi any fixes? I have a 2.4 &5 ghz connect in one? Is that the problem?

[@GadgetOwners]

It might be. If it's not working at all I would recommend reaching out the the manufacturer or the Amazon Seller directly for further troubleshooting or for a replacement device.

[@mandykincaid2968]

I need to ask a dumb question, your video was amazing thank you. I have mine all set up thanks to you except I can not open the remote control to put the batteries in. Is there a trick to it?

[@natnat6088]

I was having the same issue and realized I was trying to slide off the wrong half haha. It's the one without the dip unlike most remotes.

[@GadgetOwners]

Hi Mandy, I'm just wondering if Natnat's tip helped you out?

[@mandykincaid2968]

@@GadgetOwners so I tried that as well but it won't budge. I was trying the wrong end..lol. I read somewhere that someone used a knife to pry it open but I haven't tried that yet.

[@bryanl9445]

Thanks for the set up it works great but I can't figure out how to connect to my eco dot. Smart life doesn't carry this brand. Only thing I could find is like the Google hub or whatever lol

[@bryanl9445]

I also have the k3 if that makes any difference but its the newer model so idk

[@GadgetOwners]

I haven't personally tested the K3 yet but it looks like the setup should be the same as the K2. Did you follow all of the steps in this video and then enable the smart life skill to your Echo device through the Alexa app?

[@bryanl9445]

@@GadgetOwners bruhhh i downloaded smart things not smart life hahahaa nvm we all good thank ya very much brotha

[@GadgetOwners]

ohh hahah, that'll do it! I'm glad you got it figured out!

[@JokieJesterE]

The app is different. It doesnt show the mapping whatsoever, and I cant find any option for it. what do I do?

[@survivalistcookbook9625]

There are two apps the one you want is called “Smart Life”, hope this finds you

[@dawnrouse2439]

I have the k3. She gets lost a lot. It takes her forever to find her home base. I didn't know you can map it out. Im not great at electronics. I live out in the country and the wifi is low. But I'm going to try and do what you just taught me. And yes. I did call her a she. Lom

[@GadgetOwners]

Mine finds the base pretty easily, I imagine the mapping function plays a big part in that. Also the wifi connection is pretty important for them while mapping. I hope this video helps you out! Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

[@Lena-lq8sm]

How do you program the robot to Google

[@GadgetOwners]

To be honest, I don't have much experience with google devices yet since I only have an iPhone and Alexa. I plan to get some Google devices soon so that I can include them in videos like this. For now you may want to reach out to the manufacturer, they usually have instructions they can email over for this type of issue.

[@jessicarodgers873]

Can you use it without the app?

[@GadgetOwners]

Yep, just press the button on the top and it will go into "Auto-Clean" mode. This mode is not as efficient as the way mentioned in the video, but it will get the job done if a smartphone is not available.

[@gelflingfay]

Suction test?

[@GadgetOwners]

So far it has been working great for regular dust, lint, and hair in my home. I'll have to make another video testing out a few different materials with this unit.

[@anqiebear2010]

I am not able to connect mine! Omg I’m having such a hard time 😩😭

[@GadgetOwners]

You want to let it fully charge before trying to connect it. If your still having trouble then turn the switch to off for a few minutes, then back on and try again. If that doesn't work then you might want to reach out to the manufacturer or seller for some more troubleshooting steps or maybe a possible replacement unit.

[@amymccormick5360]

Imagine if you have a BIG LAB, mine was jammed full ‼️

[@InsightCreationz]

Mine will not connect to app :(

It has to be connected to a 2.4 ghx wifi network.
