A specification not listed here is one WYBOT does not publish for this model. It is left blank rather than estimated or borrowed from a sibling.
The two lists above come from the maker’s own specifications and this site’s arithmetic on them, not from owner reports. Where owner discussion has been read it appears in its own section below, so the two are never mistaken for each other.
Owners split on the C1 mostly over how long it lasts. Those with a working unit said in early 2025 that it cleaned well, one calling it well worth the price, and two said in June 2026 that theirs was still running well. Two say they bought it knowing it was a gamble.
Most complaints concern failures: between 2025 and 2026 owners described units dying within months, batteries that stopped holding a charge and replacements that failed in turn, and one who opened a dead unit found its electronics water-logged. Owners also say it picks up leaves but misses fine dust, and some found it left dirt in corners or struggled with steps.
Warranty outcomes vary: in 2026 some owners had replacements within days or a week, while in 2025 others found support slow or limited to email. On these accounts it suits a tight budget only for a buyer prepared to use the two-year warranty.
Owner reports from 2025 and 2026 vary widely. Two owners said in June 2026 that theirs was still running well, and one had a unit work for a year before it began stopping after five minutes. More describe early failures: units dead at three to seven months, batteries that stopped holding a charge within about a year, and a warranty replacement that died after 13 months.
Not well, by owners' accounts, and WYBOT rates its filter box at 180 µm. Fixes vary: one owner who tried pantyhose over the box still had mud dripping out, another tried pool balls in the basket, found they did not help and returned the C1 for a C2, and one says a microfiber towel draped inside the basket works well, though it makes the basket tricky to close.
It varies. In 2026 reports, one owner had a replacement within a week, another got one in about three days and returned the old unit at WYBOT's cost, and a third got a new unit after two faulty refurbished ones. In 2025, others found support limited to email, one balked at paying return shipping, and one claim stalled when WYBOT said the fault video never arrived.
