"Toe kick cleaning is in my experience non-existent. Maybe mine are too low, I'll have to clean those 2 inches by hand."
"Also treshold detection. It tends to ride up to them and not clean the inch next to the treshold because of that."
"Oh and note that it wont get into certain places, so you might have to spot vacuum behind doors or behind certain types of furniture once a month or so."

"Also I didn’t like how much data the Narwal sent to servers. ... In the 2 weeks I had it, my firewall logs showed the Narwal sent over 20 GB of data. ... I had the remote video disabled so assume it was for vision AI analysis. ... Still, it shouldn’t need to send that much data."

"If it gets stuck long enough on a task, meaning it makes no progress, it will give up. ... If you rescue it after this happens, it will just reset back to the default vacuuming task. ... So if it was mopping, you have to restart the mopping task manually. ... This is dumb to me"
