I love this, but it’s unreliable. iRobot support has been fantastic until recently. My last two calls haven’t accomplished anything, and as much as I love these robots I wouldn’t buy another one until the support improves.
This would be great to own, even though there’s only one floor it would be usable in my home and that area is maybe 8X7… Can’t justify $185 for it, this time… Plus all my money went the way of the woot-off.
Be forewarned. I owned one of these for a few weeks and wasn’t very happy with it. It didn’t have any defects, and worked as designed, but it just wasn’t as cool as the roomba, nor as handy.
I had to empty it of dirty water and fill it with clean water every time i wanted to use it. It didn’t come with a docking station, and instead needed to be physically plugged in between uses. The floor was wet after it cleaned, despite it using vacuuming and squeegie technology.
Its a neat gadget, and someday this type of technology will revolutionize our lives, but for now it makes more work for the owner, not less.
True. I have to spend 5 minutes emptying out the dirty water, washing out a few parts, and filling it with clean water and solution, and charging it.
I’d rather spend 45 minutes filling up a bucket with solution, mopping my floor, emptying out the dirty water from the bucket, rinsing out the dirty mop.
