Robo Vacuum-A Review

Last week I ordered a robo vacuum cleaner. I have wanted one for well over a decade, but due to pets and stairs and a variety of reasons, I never bought one. I have been researching them quite a bit these past 6 months or so and finally made a purchase. My bot does carpet as well as flooring. I ran it for the second time yesterday. I have to say that the floors did not look like they needed vacuuming, but......After running it I was amazed at how much dust came out of the dirt cup. I was really impressed. I debated on getting the model that vacuums as well as mops but thought that I should start simple. I will still vacuum some areas that she doesn't fit into, such as behind the toilet and tight areas such as that. I would recommend one if you are researching them. I thank Eva for the help that she provided to me while I was researching them. I am going to recommend the wet bot to our son because he and his wife have a porcelain tile floor throughout the majority of their main floor. It has dimples in it, and given how much suction this one has I am certain that the wet one will also and be able to get the dirt that tends to fall into those places. ~Photo is mine

I don't think it would be a wise purchase for me, Tuffy is bound to have a field day with one and could possibly ruin it, he weighs at least 14 pounds.

No, they are not for every household. The noise and the movement would have been too frightening on the dog that we used to have. I believe that our son could use one if they run it after the girls are asleep for the night or away for playgroup because just watching something go on its own would peak their curiosity.

I had no idea they would be noisy. Yeah, that would scare Tuffy but I wonder what Roscoe would do ..... I don't think I'll get one

@rebelann It isn't as noisy as my regular canister vacuum is, but it still makes sound.

I would love to have one but I need to save up for that.

. There are others like that but feedback is not good so possibly it's not branded or imitation or made from somewhere you possibly know where

That was why I spent so much time looking into it before I bought one. I trusted who gave me the recommendation and she wasn't wrong in my opinion. I get a bonus from work in mid January, and I was going to wait until then to make the purchase, but the Boxing Day sale was so good that I just moved the date up a few weeks.

@rakski I ordered mine from Amazon, and I am not a big fan of Amazon, so this is a great product.

@Juliaacv true, we need to review the feedback and the item we are going to purchase. The one we have here that are offered online is not worth it

I would worry about scratches on wooden floors. This house still has the original wooden floors (1860) in it and I'd like to keep them looking nice! Otherwise, I'd be all on it!

@Juliaacv That may make a difference.

I understand that, the tires have rubber on them, which shouldn't scratch. But all types of wood floors differ.

@Juliaacv It started with the Roomba but it is too costly. I want one that is a bit cheaper just to keep the house tidy when I cannot do the big vacuuming. My husband spent 400£ for out bulky one so a small one needs to be on the cheaper side.Which model is your one?

What a great time saving device, I just love this. I hope that you do your research and find the right one for your needs before you add it to your Christmas list.

@flapiz Mine is a Lefant brand. It does carpeting, hard floors as well as mats.

My apartment could not take this, I have mostly carpet and the area is small and the poor Robo could not maneuver well,

That is probably right, I don't let her go into our crowded and small rooms.

My mother keeps talking about us getting one. We don't have carpet, but we do have 4 cats.

It would be ideal for anyone with pets. The one that I bought doesn't have a beater bar so hair doesn't get tangled up in it.

I am glad you are in love with your robo vac. It makes me think I should get my robo vac knock off running again. It looks like I will be spending plenty of time housebound so it might be time to take a look at it.

I am pleased with mine. I will be able to run her while I am working now that I know how well she does. I keep her out of the bathroom and out of our bedroom because I store alot of things under the bed that she could get tangled up with as well my office is off limits because it is so small and I always have things stacked here and there. I still need an actual vacuum, but the big rooms are done for me which I am thankful for. I noticed that I had great difficult with scanning the QR code with my phone, this has made me set a date to replace it. I have been putting that off for about a year, but the time has come.

I'm glad to hear that your bot did the trick. I have a Shark up-right that I've had for about 5 years now. Works great!

I had an upright years ago, but I found that that particular one was only effective on carpeting. I like this one.

I also want one, but with stairs I refrained from buying, but I will buy one soon.

I wanted one a really long time ago, but with the stairs and Nayla, our dog, I knew that it wasn't possible. I am pleased with it now. I still use my old vacuum for the bathroom and our bedroom, I did that today. The robo doesn't have a beater bar like the powerhead to my vacuum does, so hair cannot get tangled in it, which I appreciate, and it has alot of suction.

Glad you like it. He might be better getting one that mops only. I am thinking of doing that later. The one I have uses a pad so it is dirty pretty fast. Especially when it's muddy outside

They are very handy for sure but from time to time you need to do the corners, etc - as you pointed out.

Yes, it will not completely eliminate the need for me to vacuum, it doesn't have any attachments to do tight spots, between the fridge and cupboards or behind the toilet or corners. I do not mind doing that. This saves my back quite a bit, vacuum cleaning aggravated it.

I have one but the waste box is too delicate and already needs replacement. My one mops the floor too.

My dust collector box is substantial, it also has a hepa filter with it. Mine is for dry vacuuming only.

I have always wanted one myself, and hope I can get one someday. It’s good to know how how they do by someone whose opinion I know is factual.

It must be a J20T thing then.

My husband always said that he would love a lawn mower one, they have them now they run off of the GPS co ordinates that you input so that they stay on your property. I like my bot girl and will keep her around. Good news also, I have some mats here and there and she manages them quite well I have to say.

I am also planning to have one robo vaccum and mop this year. My household help is ageing and she is not that good with cleaning and mopping the floor. Even I struggle. Ours is a complete tile floor. So, I will go for one with wet mopping one. Good that you are happy with it.

I hope that you are as happy with yours as I am with mine. I am glad that I waited and researched.
