Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I've always wanted one of these little vacuum robots, and when it was Amazon's deal of the day at $160, I couldn't resist but buy it. Long story short, I live with 6 other young adult guys in a former convent. The main floor is 3,000 feet and the upstairs is 3,000 feet. This lil' shark was not designed for a square footage of this magnitude, but I decided to let him take his best crack at it anyways. First things first...remove ALL MOUSE STICKY TRAPS from your convent and/or home. They catch sharks much more easily than mice. So that was embarrassing. Once all mouse sticky traps were removed, I scheduled the lil' shark to vacuum every night at 1:00 am on the main floor. And vacuum he did. He would occasionally get stuck on wires or other things, but honestly, having observed him for 30 plus minutes, pathetic as he looks sometimes, he can get himself out of many a bind. Something to note is that this guy is random (or at least that's the effect). He just bounces around like an idiot. It's amazing he finds his way home at all. However, he's a cheaper model so I don't mind. With the 3,000 square foot main floor, after a week of running every night and bouncing between walls like an air hockey puck, the place started to really look nice. Like, the floors were completely clean and would stay clean. He wouldn't get everything every night, but he didn't have too. He'd get everything eventually throughout the course of a week. The one exception would be the kitchen, but with 7 guys using it multiple times a day, I wouldn't expect lil' sharky to get that every time. Another added bonus is all the dust he picks up. That's useful for the air quality in my 70 year old convent. His battery life is pretty great, he'll run over two hours every night (partially because he gets lost finding the dock in the massive 3,000 square foot main floor). To conclude, for the price, a great lil' helper for your home and/or convent. I wouldn't pay over $275 for him, but very pleased with my purchase. The entertainment value is pretty great as well, watching him pathetically and blindly move about. Great for parties and maintaining conversations with introverts. Overall: 4.5 Stars
