First of all: We have had two years Roomba (last to 581) and have now migrated to the second total failure on the Home-Bot 2 by LG. So far, we are excited! In particular, the madness obstacle detection. Even thinnest chair legs and glass doors (see-through not matted!) Are reliably detected and the bot moves 5mm in distance of approximately around. We had the Roomba times a Glstür are so open that the dhinterkommt something, has the likes locked itself. In direct comparison, the procedure of Home Bot works for Roomba as between precision engineering tools to sledgehammer. The surfaces of all Homebot systematically depart erratically during the Roomba through the area thunders does not make much difference in the end result again demonstrates the technological difference. Already alone because of the geometry of the housing, but also due to the superior sensor technology you do not have to make the apartment as vacuum cleaner safe. The suction result is in my opinion identical to the Roomba. Overall, these devices must not compare me conventional vacuum cleaners to. The apartment is totally dirty, vacuum cleaner robots are not the drug of choice. The aim here is that the apartment is kept clean by frequent use. And here we have a small downside for Homebot: There is no possibility to define a weekly program. Although the departure in advance can be programmed at 12 hours, but each start must be triggered individually. This could certainly be improved. However, you can actually run it also the Home Bot, when you are in the room itself. The background noise is the significantly low noise emission of the robot itself and the absence of the sounds of clashes with the Mobilar very akzetabel. Emptying the dust container is also a point where LG has thrown the concept of iRobot Roomba completely overboard. Not only that the container has a larger volume - it can also be significantly better empty!
What now remains to be seen is the durability. Here I will bring an update. When Roomba we were however not spoiled there :(
