It also couldn't handle dirt that was dried on.

The app is on the basic side with no advanced features such as multiple cleaning modes and automated scheduling. It works with Alexa but its voice controls aren't intuitive or responsive. And it's also a little flaky when it comes to getting back to the charging station after an outing Other robots can follow a previous route or sensibly follow a wall around until they reach their home however the RX3 just bumbles about until it gives up and sends a failure message to your phone.

We also experienced issues with the intelligent features of the device, namely its mapping feature and digital stay-out zones.
