Where the vacuum cleans it does a wonderful job. I have a large house so have 4 other Samsung powerbots: 2 - 9350s and 2 - 9250s that do an amazing job, but don’t get under the furniture. Hence, I bought this one. My problem is, he’s a wauderer. I put him in my kitchen, which is perfectly square and he starts to do a great pattern to clean, then the next thing I know, he’s in another room, leaving the kitchen floor 1/2 Done! He doesn’t return to finish the job, but does return to dock in the kitchen. Really frustrating. As I run him with the other two, I have to grab one of the other Sammys to finish what he starts.
Also, the wonderful self cleaning blade isn’t self cleaning and it’s actually difficult to clean when after every use, hair gets stuck in the valleys and it’s hard to get out. I have 3 cats, so I run the Sammys every other day, and must clean the blade on this one every time I use it. The others I clean weekly.
Pros: Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, love the edge cleaner, quieter than the othets
Cons: doesn’t complete a room, must clean beater bar after every use hard to c
The POWERbot™ R7090 Robot is awful. On start up, It climbs up the side of the dock, every time, and gets stuck there and shuts itself off, every time it starts up. I move it and start it up again and when it comes to a wall, it tries to climb that and, again, it gets stuck there and, again, it shuts itself off. I finally get it to run and after 15 minutes, its fully charged battery is dead! It's a totally worthless, expensive piece of junk. I returned it two days after I got it. Just awful.
Pros: Lightweight
Cons: Did not meet expectations, Poor quality, doesn't work ar all
Disappointed in the performance due to battery duration.

I found that the duration of the battery charge is much inferior to the I robot I had before. This battery is only good on one charge for 30 mins or less and the I robot was good for over an hour. I found the suction was superior and other aspects of operation seemed better. A longer life battery would be better.
After setting up to charge, the ap setup took sometime. The vacuum works well. I expected to see more of the pet hair was chopped up finer. It has issues with throw rugs. Has difficulty getting over the edge.
I'm pleasantly surprised with this vacuum so far. It's picking up lots of dust and cat hair in places my ordinary vacuum can't reach -- like under the beds! Also impressed with how it maneuvers around my furniture. I was wary about the basement steps, but the "cliff sensor" works great and it hasn't tried to go downstairs at all. Battery life is great - runs more than an hour before it goes back to the dock to recharge. The vacuum did get stuck once under a cabinet I have in a "nook and cranny" area. It couldn't find its way out and called for help. I rescued it, and now I just block that spot off so it doesn't happen again. No worries!
