Fairly satisfied but not (yet) quite perfect

After trying a Roomba 555 for 2 months, and dissatisfied with the arbitrary approach of the instrument during cleaning of the rooms was (driving absolutely at random around the area, with no apparent systematics), I've after some study of the reviews this LG bought Homebot.
As some already been written to, I will be brief:
- The navigation software is super. Unlike the Roomba of Homebot goes systematically before he cleans strip by strip the apartment and remembers where it was. It detects obstacles and drives around these, mostly without bumping. From time to time it happens however, but then always very slow. This was also the Roomba else who almost always bounced sometimes slow, but sometimes also from full speed against the walls or furniture.
- There are no "Virtual Walls" still "Lighthouses" required to carry out a systematic cleaning the whole house without manual intervention.
- The container for containing the dust is easily accessible and easy to take, I find more comfortable than the Roomba.

Small cons in my view:
- The Homebot, unlike the Roomba aufzufahren some problems from the flat floor on carpets that are slightly higher (approximately 2cm), or have fringe. He often tried, then turns off and tried it elsewhere. Sometimes it does not work, sometimes. That could Roomba better. Too bad, here the manufacturer would have to rectify something, perhaps larger drive wheels or something, possibly, the Roomba could also turn around and go back on it, when it does not go forward.
- From time to time the software has smaller dropouts. The other day it happened that the Homebot crashed during a cleaning 2x. The äüßert by the fact that he remains for some time, and unresponsive. Then he drives himself new high. Then he starts cleaning from the front and makes it all over again what was already cleaned. I then asked him in the cradle and press the reset button. Thereafter, this is no longer occurred.

Mir is unfortunately unknown if you can update the firmware of Homebot. Would be nice if something was going ....

Conclusion: Despite the small flaws I can recommend it and would prefer it to the Roomba.
