There's no official information on OKP's website about their location, no details on a parent company if one exists, and we couldn't find a Better Business Bureau listing. However, the terms and conditions of the vacuums suggest they're based in China. On their website, they state that they were founded in 2019 and now serve millions of customers in 10 countries.

10 models starting at $149

OKP offers three different series of vacuums (K, L, and C) with 10 options total. The brand doesn't make it clear what sets each series apart. The prices usually range from $149 to $499, but you can sometimes find them for as low as $75 when there's a sale. Take the OKP LIFE K3 Robot Vacuum for example. It's a pretty cool gadget. It's got four different cleaning modes, strong suction, a slim design, and a battery that lasts for 100 minutes. Its sensors stop it from crashing into things. While it can handle hardwood floors, it can't handle high pile carpet - just low pile.

$300 vacuum on sale for $100

Frequent deals on robot vacuums are available from OKP. When we were shopping at a third-party retailer, we spotted one usually priced at $299.99, on sale for only $99.99. This model, simply titled the OKP Robot Vacuum Cleaner, is powerful enough to pick up dust, paper, pet hair, and more, and can even clean along walls and corners with an edge brush. Whether you have a hard floor, a wood floor, a tile floor, or a low pile carpet, this vacuum can handle it. Its smart technology lets it avoid obstacles like stairs and furniture. You can control it with an app or voice commands, setting schedules and choosing from 4 cleaning modes to make sure it cleans the way you want it to. It has a long battery life, running for up to 120 minutes and then returning to its dock to recharge. Plus, it's quiet, so it won't disrupt your day.

$500 vacuum can handle carpets and hardwood

On the higher end ($499.99, on sale for $249 when we shopped), you'll find the OKP L3 robot vacuum, for both hard floors and carpets. It's advertised as easy to use, with an app that supposedly lets you set cleaning schedules, adjust suction power, and more. If you have pets, the company states that it's effective at picking up hair and it even self-cleans to prevent tangles. OKP asserts that it can run for up to 120 minutes at a time, and if it's not done cleaning when it runs out of power, it will return to its dock to recharge and then resume cleaning. Plus, it promotes a self-emptying base feature, which means, according to OKP, you won't have to empty the dust bag for up to 70 days.

OKP underdelivers

However, it doesn't sound like this vacuum lives up to what OKP promises. Some users found it stops working after only a few uses and has trouble staying connected to the network. One customer said it broke completely in six months and they got no help from customer support. Another said their vacuum quit after just 27 days and often got lost during cleaning. Users also said the vacuum struggles to avoid obstacles and needs help, making it almost as much work as vacuuming yourself. It has trouble switching from hardwood to rug floors. Also, it doesn't go back to its base when full, instead waiting until the brush is jammed and then asking for help. Lastly, users didn't like the high cost of the dust bags, which are $75 for a pack of 10, making the vacuum expensive to maintain.

OKP manipulates reviews with bribes

We took a look at the reviews on OKP's other vacuums, and it doesn't seem like the issues with the OKP L3 are isolated to that model. To make things worse, we doubt whether positive reviews for OKP vacuums can be trusted. Some customers have reported that the company repeatedly contacted them, requesting changes to their negative reviews. In some cases, the company promised refunds as part of their attempts to persuade customers to alter their reviews. However, the refund amounts offered were often much less than what the customers had paid for the products. On top of that, those customers reported that even the partial refunds were not promptly received, further eroding their trust in the company. It's clear that OKP is engaging in review manipulation, and unfortunately, there's no way to tell which positive reviews are actually legitimate.

12-month warranty

OKP offers a 12-month warranty for products bought from their website. If something goes wrong with your robot vacuum within the first year, they might fix or replace it. But remember, this doesn't cover everything. It won't cover physical damage you cause, damage from incorrect installation or misuse, or problems not caused by defects in the product. Also, parts that naturally wear out over time, like the side brush or the cleaning brush, aren't covered. You should also keep in mind that lots of customers have had a hard time with getting OKP to honor the warranty despite their vacuums' issues occurring within the allotted 12-month window.

Cheap for a reason

OKP vacuums are a basic choice for those on a budget. The sale prices may make you think you're getting a great deal on a high-quality vacuum, but in reality, they're usually not as expensive as the sales suggest. You might get to use your vacuum for a few months before it stops working, and replacing it might not be easy. These vacuums are good for cleaning up small messes, like crumbs, but they struggle with thick carpets and some types of pet hair. If you get one, be ready to possibly buy a new one within a year. Worth it? Not exactly.
