Great Robot Vac for the Money, March 16, 2006

I was a little apprehensive when I first decided to purchase a robotic vac, since I had never used anything like it before. I came up with a thousand reasons in my mind why it might be money down the toilet. However, I am happy to say that essentially the vacuum performs as well as could be expected.

I came up with a thousand reasons in my mind why it might be money down the toilet. However, I am happy to say that essentially the vacuum performs as well as could be expected.

WORD OF CAUTION: This vac DOES NOT perform well on sculpted carpet-even if it has a short nap! I could see how it would have difficulties on carpet that has any real height to the nap at all. For somebody with wood or tile floors this thing is a dream!

Pros:
*Reusable, washable filters (3).
*Easy to operate.
*Wide variety of cleaning modes that work well.
*UV light option for disinfecting (although I wonder how well that really works).
*Compartment for adding scent packet (manual states that dryer sheet can be used as well).
*Remote.
*Easy clean removable brush and removable wheel compartments to clean out stuff that inevitably will collect there.
*Picks up pet hair and dust GREAT!
*Beeps to let you know that it is stuck or the battery has gotten low and automatically shuts down.
*Price

Cons:
*Only runs for about 80 minutes at a time on a full charge- takes about 2 1/2 hours to charge back up.
*Just doesn't work as well on carpets as wood or tile.(Gets stuck a lot easier around furniture on the carpet)


Overall a great robot vac for the money. I find it rivals some of the more expensive brands features, without the jump in price. Bought this one to see how robotic vacs will really get the job done. Will probably bump up to model with longer battery life and charging dock, that can be programmed to vacuum on a schedule. I guess the next purchase will be the robotic lawn mower for the yard... minimize

Glad I purchased!, March 5, 2006

Everyone in my house hates to vacuum so our floors (vinyl & berber carpet) would go weeks without cleaning. Finally, we decided to get a robotic vacuum and after doing a bit of research, decided on this one. We have it clean 1 room at a time and it does a great job. The dustbin is easy to clean, though it's a pain to brush off the air filter each ...read full review Everyone in my house hates to vacuum so our floors (vinyl & berber carpet) would go weeks without cleaning. Finally, we decided to get a robotic vacuum and after doing a bit of research, decided on this one. We have it clean 1 room at a time and it does a great job. The dustbin is easy to clean, though it's a pain to brush off the air filter each time and it does need to be recharged after it's cleaned 2 rooms but otherwise, I have no complaints. We have a thick rug in our hallway and the robot has no trouble getting that clean either, just be sure to stay away from plush rugs! We don't have pets but we do track in a lot of pine needles and this guy gets them all. Now we don't stress about getting the big upright vacuum out every 4-6 weeks because our carpets look great! minimize

More dependable than Roomba, September 7, 2006

I started with Roombas but they all broke down after a few weeks of use. When new, Roombas do a good job and that is the reason for the good reviews. However, once you are out of the Roomba warranty, they not only provide no repair service but wont sell you replacement parts. I junked my last Roomba because a simple plastic part wore out,...read full review I started with Roombas but they all broke down after a few weeks of use. When new, Roombas do a good job and that is the reason for the good reviews. However, once you are out of the Roomba warranty, they not only provide no repair service but wont sell you replacement parts. I junked my last Roomba because a simple plastic part wore out, something Roomba engineers should have know would happen based on how it is used.

Clean-Mate is not as clever as Roomba and has weaker suction but it does not fail as fast as Roomba. It is not great, but until somebody comes up with a dependable robotic vacuum cleaner, it is adequate for those who want the robot experience. minimize

A good robotic vacuum cleaner., February 1, 2006

I bought one last week from other place.
It is very good for me. I am a lazy guy.
Now I enjoy the clean room since I have it.
The only thing is the battery. The cleaner only works for 60-70minutes. It needs 4 hours for recharging.
The noise is a little big. Of course it is much smaller than the upstraight one. Wish it helps ...read full review I bought one last week from other place.

Entertaining more than cleaning, November 9, 2006

Well it does trundle around happily and manages to get around just about everything in the room and into the corners. As far as cleaning goes it's a bit of a let down - place 5 pieces of dust and dirt in front of it and let it trundle over them - 4 remain. But if you let it run for long enough it'll probably start to get a carpet clean.
