My house accommodation: 140 m², carpeted room, dining kitchen tiled living room, bathroom wooden flooring, a large dog breed.
Findings:
On the non-pile carpet is almost perfect, the robot comes and goes insistently and leaves virtually nothing. For a room of 14m² it takes at least 1:00.
On pile carpet, it is complicated, small items kinds pins (eg blade of dry grass) remain stuck in the loops by the robot & you have to go remove them by hand. For the rest it is honorable work.
On the marine type parquet wood, it does not pick up the hair that were slightly stuck by water.
On the floor this is the cat, the situation is really negative, for a surface of 65 sqm after 2 hours, there is a lot of small pebbles, grass strand and the element most negative, the piles dust and small items that can not pick up on the edges of carpet. I found that the small roller brush, small stones propelled further if they were not in the axis of the brush and therefore some would hide under furniture or the robot can not pass.
His methodology random passage, that sometimes he will spend 4, 5, 6 times see in one place leaving a small pile of dust 20 cm and it takes a possible switchover and I mean a possible move to this location . And what's really annoying to see this is going round in circles for 10/15 minutes in the same place at 5 cm of a pile of dust that it will pick up can not be.
But anyway, at the end of a full cycle after discharge of the battery, there is still a lot of dust on the floor.
Although the acceptable noise level does not stay in the room when it working, the noise quickly becomes unpleasant. I am also concerned for the top sensor that takes a lot of blow in Furniture & I think he'll end up broken.
It is recommended to make it work as regularly as possible. As for me I programmed four days of the week and it starts when I go to work. After five months, I have been stuck as 3 times, once in shoelaces and electrical son under the desk and under furniture.
Its maintenance is not as easy as some say, for a thorough cleaning, ten minutes are not enough, one must be removed and put back.
Filter cleaning is imperative after each use their soiling is important and if you do not clean you lose power aspiration. (There is a small motor in the rammassage tray and yes it is not that mechanical)
A useful little trick that will extend the life of the filters, clean them with an air spray can.
The wall and virtual halo are useful and effective which prohibits access to certain places. Lighthouse mode remains as very useful.
Automatic return to the base is more significant because it allows you if you want to switch it on immediately when you get without having to put in charge and wait.
For cons, I had to fix the base to the floor with double-sided, because sometimes he could not hang on, it moves with the robot.
Finally, a relatively expensive product for a result that is not final because it must still perform regular cleaning with a vacuum cleaner finishes. I even surprised to clean vacuuming robot vacuuming.
Really disappointing, take this device for assistance but not as a final cleaner.
