Robotic Vacuum Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Just got this, and put it to work in my kitchen. It got to work roaming around, suctioning up the dog hair. When I came back at the end of the day and checked it, it had done a very admirable job of cleaning, all at about 1/3 to 1/4 the price of the Roomba. Will I still need to sweep? Absolutely. It can't get right up next to walls or in corners. But from what I read, people that own the Roomba still have to sweep, too. And this was alot less and there don't appear to be any expendable items (dust filter, swiffer cloth), that you can't obtain locally and cheaply by being a bit ingenious and handy with a pair of scissors.
One point - I don't think it will do well on carpets. No beater brush, and the suction isn't that strong. The test will be how long does it last. But so far for the money, I am pleased! It helps keep things clean between your own cleanings.
Update, after one month: This little guy is still doing a great job. I've seen it other places on Amazon for less than what I paid. If you can get it for less than $50, then you should definitly go for it. However, it really is only for hard wood or tile floors.
Update Feb 16 2009 - A couple of months ago, the little guy stopped taking a charge. I am debating whether or not to try and by replacement batteries (not cheap) to see if that will fix the problem, or just chucking it all together. I hate to do that, but I also hate throwing money at a problem not knowing if it will fix it or not.

iTouchless Robotic Intelligent Vacuum Cleaner PRO Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)My husband and I had high hopes when he ordered this robotic vacuum cleaner for me for Christmas. My husband is confined to a wheelchair much of the time, and I have severe degenerative disk disease and spondelosis, which in laymen's terms means an extremely bad, severely painful, neck and back. This problem keeps me from being able to clean my house the way it needs, which is very hard on a frustrated Neat Freak like me. Also, we have a loving dog who lives in the house with us, and she sheds, AND sheds. To make matters worse, both my hubby and I have miserably debillitating allergies. So a good and easy way to clean the floors is a Must-Have for us.

We thought a cleaner that did all the work for us would be the next-best-thing to the maid service we can't afford. But, sadly, this little vacuum could not handle our floors! We have cement floors, with a few very thin and flat, antique Oriental rugs scattered here and there. The robot vacuum kept getting hung up on the almost microscopic distance between the rugs and the floor. Whether it was trying to go up, ON to a rug from the cement, or go down, OFF of a rug back onto the cement, 9 times out of 10, or more, it would hang, and then stall, and then STOP. Maddening.

Yes, it is loud, but that didn't matter, it probably isn't much louder than most regular vacuum cleaners. Yes, when it wasn't hung up on something, it was very slow moving across the floor, but that was alright too -- I figure that the slower a vacuum goes across the floor, the more thoroughly it is getting it clean. And besides, who cares how long it takes, if I'm not the one having to do the work?

If only this thing could have managed to actually clean the floor more than a few tiny itty bitty INCHES at a time without getting hung up and stopping, we would have been pleased as could be, despite the noise and the slowness. But, sadly, it just couldn't do the job.
MAYBE if our floors had no rugs whatsoever, OR if it were wall to wall rug, then it MIGHT have worked good enough. But I really doubt it, because when it wasn't getting hung up on the canyon between the rugs and the hard floor, it was getting hung up on furniture legs, and walls, and doors.

Somewhere I read a review where the person said she thought this vacuum needed time to "learn" about all the obstacles in a room, before it can do a good job of cleaning it up without stalling. I was hoping that was the problem, so I kept giving it chance after chance, but this Stupid Robotic Vacuum never learned a darn thing! If anything, the more I ran it, the more quickly it would get hung up and shut itself off. We bought it from a store that has a 30-day free trial period, and we used it the full 30 days, trying to figure out a way to make it work for us, but it never did work, so in the end we sent it back.
