I live in a house with no kids and no pets. I have hardwood floors troughout the house and always had a problem with dust. This little monster leaves my floors spotless. I do not feel the machine is hard to take care of and I do not mind taking good care of it, because it takes such good care of me. Before its first use I cleaned my floors to help it out and I thought I did a good job. For the next 3 days I could not believe the stuff it had in its bin. I have it set to run at 10 am,seven days a week and clean it after every use. Cleanup take about 5 minutes,empty bin,clean filter,wipe machine,and thats it. I hope that with good maintenance the machine will last me many years. I purchased extra brushes and filters for back up. I hear people having problems with the battery,but if I have to buy a new battery once a year I would not mind. If [$] a year is what I have to pay to have a clean floor all year, thats fine by me! If you do have pets and kids I feel this would greatly assist you in keeping the house clean.

this is a great little tool to have. i have noticed that the fewer obstacles the vac encounters, the better it cleans. empty the dirt cup and clean all recommended areas and you will be rewarded with a very nice vac. i love it and will never be without one again.

Wonderful product that I should've purchased years ago. Easy to operate, our 4 year old loves to pick up everything off the floor and turn it on before going to bed. What more can you ask for? The maintenance is easy and so is the online support. They even have the noises if something is wrong for you to judge your robots noise against. Easy easy easy.

Great robot, BUT....

Works well with the exceptions to dark carpeted areas. We have a large area rug like a multi-colored checker board, when it gets to a dark area it will start jerking itself around in a circle, then sound alarm and stop. (we contacted the company and they informed us the cliff sensors do not allow the robot to clean on dark carpet, due to 'thinking' it will fall off a cliff!) We just setup the virtual wall so it won't go on that rug. It also gets stuck under kitchen cabinets sometimes, however the alert is great in letting us know! Spinning side brushes need replacing quite often if it is used daily. They break off easily. Customer service told us there was a new design of spinning side brushes coming out, so.....we will see if that design holds up when we get those. Customer Service told us they would send us the new design brushes when they came out, we have not yet received them. They did send us a couple of new sidebrushes after complaining of the originals breaking. Looks like the new design has 3 brushes (looking under the accessories section of the site)ours has 6. Not sure how often it "needs" the brushes cleaned, but I clean the "main" brushes almost every time, it stopped working once because the side brush had wound up some hair underneath it, couldn't tell by looking, easy fix, phillips screwdriver removed the brush, the hair looked like a felt washer. The filter is pretty durable, haven't replaced it yet, I just blow it out with my air compressor. Overall pleased with its performance, inexpensive to operate, does a very good job cleaning, it will tell you when it "needs" maintenance, it'll get rid of those dust bunnies under your bed!! Customer service is bordering excellent. Would buy again after 11 months of ownership.
Pros: Awesome Alerts, Cleans Effectively, Cleans Under Furniture, Hassle Free Operation, Long Run Time, Pet Friendly
Cons: Can Get Stuck, Does Not Clean Stairs, Doesnt clean dark carpet, Spin brush breaks easy
