I purchased this vacuum with the anticipation of it cleaning the floors while myself or my wife is not home after owning and returning a Roomba 980. The ease of use and app associated with the Samsung by far is the better of the vacuums according to myself. The only problem that occurred was that I never got past the "Creating a new Floor plan" with the Samsung. This feature conveniently maps out the general floor plan of your home to be able to later select room by room for cleaning. The vacuum first stopped on a bathroom rug. The second occurrence was the device backing into a leg on my dining room table, which lifted the back of the vacuum making it think someone was picking it up. Both of these occurrences stopped the operation of the vacuum, as designed and it withheld zero memory of the progress mapping the floor plan and vacuuming so I had to start over multiple times with no success. As said with the Roomba, if your home does not have obstacles the vacuum can get wedged under or ride up against this would be a great buy.

I purchased this vacuum with the anticipation of it cleaning the floors while myself or my wife is not home. I was initially impressed with the features of the 980 and the associated iPhone App. The 980 initially navigated around my home very well until it approached a couch in my living room and a table in the dining room. The vacuum became wedged under a corner of my couch not once, but three times in a matter of 30 minutes in the same location, shut down each time and needed someone to physically pick it up and move it before it found its way back to the same location regardless of being moved several feet away. This also occurred on a leg of my dining room table. In my mind this defeated the purpose of having the vacuum so I returned the vacuum for a refund and am purchasing the Samsung Powerbot Turbo in hopes of an improvement. The only way I could avoid this was to place one of the provided Lighthouses to defer the Roomba from vacuuming this area. If you do not have obstacles that could allow the vacuum to be wedged under I would consider this a good buy. Just some more R&D to do buy Roomba on this product.
