At home, the robot passes throughout the apartment (70 m2) in about 2 hours without completely draining the battery.
This robot cleans much better than a normal vacuum cleaner because this man has nothing else to do while he does it well. It comes and goes several times in the same place, it is very effective on all surfaces, get into corners can we prepare for it access. He went around the table legs, he is very conscientious. He slowed at the sight of an obstacle, unless this barrier is dark, but as he has a bumper, it no furniture abyss. When it detects a dirtier place, he emphasizes the area.
Lighthouse terminals that allow the robot to identify the different parts play their role with these terminals, even if the parts are distributed by a corridor, the robot identifies each piece begins by making a back and then deal with the Next. When work is completed, the robot will recharge itself on its base.
For minimum maintenance, which does not take more than 5 minutes, empty the dust container is done in a flash, but it is recommended to do so after each complete passage in the house. Quick access to the brushes which is also easily cleaned. Once a week, I clean a little more thoroughly to remove dust brushes and sensors (there is electronics, so with a bomb to blow dry air, it is very easy to make that extra interview me takes 10 to 15 minutes). It makes very little noise compared to my old bagless vacuum cleaner.
By cons at first it's hard to resist the temptation to watch him work. This step is necessary at least the first time to see if the robot does not get stuck under furniture or do not take into son. At the same time, if we look goes well everywhere. We even tried to find rationality in how to navigate. There necessarily because at the end, when he leaves the room, it is clean in every corner, but that is not obvious when one looks on. Whatever, the result is nickel.
Finally, it is best not to be there when he works. You can program each day of the week at a different time and finally, this model has a fairly impressive remote but very easy to use for programming or, for older children, remotely control it manually in all directions.
Comes complete with a kit brushes, spare parts and additional accessories are available on Amazon. The SAV iRobot seems very responsive for more information.
In conclusion, this device is very good, it is suitable for modern life.
A bit like the dishwasher, which could do without?
You can start with closed eyes in the purchase of the gadget that has nothing, even if the robot is encased electronics, it is primarily a vacuum cleaner with a high efficiency.
