I have the robotic vacuum cleaner now say several months in service and must, the acquisition was worth it. Before I equal my experience with this robotic vacuum briefly describe my personal opinion in general about those devices.
Each deals with the consideration, a robot torments to purchase and in all forums and recessions weighs pros and cons, my very clear statement. Let it. Ordered you one makes the first a good impression and how it checks work with you. I myself have tried several (3) robots. With me in my house this works best. It simply depends on one's own equipment in the apartment / house in. Previously, I had, for example, a robot of Neato. Super device, unfortunately had problems with our tiles, as often in the middle of the tile of "abyss Warner" responded and the robot turned back. For the Neato was saugstärker on our carpet, but what good is that ....
So, according to this general reference, I would like to give all the Perplexed on the way now, the experience I've gathered with LG:
Pro:
- The unit is quiet compared to the other robots. Here I would not watch TV, but it does not interfere when he rumfährt one.
- The robot decelerates usually sent off when he nourished an obstacle. He crashes not complete it.
- He needs only 1-2cm on each side Plätz and travels thus purely in narrow streets. Generally I would say he drives pretty much from everything he can reach physically. He does indeed in my opinion not the shortest route, but it does not matter. He drives eg also times of a room and comes out afterwards to suck the remaining points again. He said such is not very loud, that bothers me the longer term little.
- It does not require Lighthouses or something to find back to the base station. It sucks just until it is finished or the battery is empty and then travels to the base station to recharge and possibly continue to suck.
- It sucks even more rooms and floors where the base station is not available. (You have to stop wearing the Robo to another floor and there click on "Start").
- For me, a single charge for the whole house (120sqm) is sufficient. However, I have only a small carpet the rest are smooth floors. Therefore I can for the battery life on carpet say little more than guess 60-70qm are then not possible.
- Cleaning is very simple. Who people with long hair in the household, but after cleaning even need to clean the brush. "Tool" for cleaning is included. Takes about 5 minutes.
- One more important per the end. The software is open source. One can with instructions from the Internet directly access the control from the robot. If you have eg baseboards in the house that are just 1cm high, the distance in which the robot stops in front of a wall and used zoom. Thus, the robot does not move it to the baseboard.
Cons:
- With cables of LG can not get along well. If cables lying around on the floor, he eats it and gets tangled up. Here the Neato robot was significantly better.
- The robot does not recognize Hinternisse that are below a certain level (about 1cm-1.5cm). That's the type Siche height of the legs of rocking chairs. As a major problem or critical level is to call me the wide blue wooden rocking chair from Ikea. Perhaps knows of one or the other. This does not recognize the robotic legs and then he would always take the legs on it. Since the oscillation legs are also relatively wide then he runs his firm partly. Our rocking chairs in the kitchen I always high.
Overall, I have not regretted the purchase and recommend this robot also expressly because he does his job really well and tidy. As mentioned above, the performance and satisfaction can vary greatly when apartment / house does not match the advantages disadvantages of robotic vacuum. You have to just try it. What struck me in all Saugrobotern. One should before starting the Robo always clean up something. Is too much stuff around on the floor, each robot so its problems.
