Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Dec 15, 2019 Having used this cleaner for four months now, it is still a great cleaner. Several people has asked about its ability to go from Tile to Wood and over 1/4 inch edges. I have included a short video that shows the 650 doing just that - over hardwood and raised edge guard to short raised area mat, down to tile, turn around, over same. Then over low carpet with edge up, then across low carpet to wood, to edge guard, over guard to tile then over slow carpet entry, then back over edge to wood to docking station. Hope it helps. I like this robot cleaner - wish their future cleaners have a self cleaning unit. It picks up dog hair and long human hair easily - does get wrapped in roller brush - but easy to remove and clean the brush. Cleaner bin should be cleaned after each use. ============ Original Review ============ I'm not a stranger to Robot Cleaners - been using several different ones for more than five years now. I ordered this product for new hardwood floor and low area rug/runner for living room and hallway of my condo. Arrived next day. Package was well constructed. Main box was in Amazon shipping box. [WILL ADD PICTURES later - if needed] Will update after a few weeks of use. ---- PROS: (1) Does nice job on hardwood floors and moves from hardwood to area rug easily. (2) Has TWO (2) side brushes (right and left) versus one side brush on my other cleaners [bobSweep Pro and iRobot Roomba]. (3) Has more power than the other brands I own, runs longer when cleaning than my other models. (4) Has a smaller height footprint (2.7 inches) vs. my other cleaners (3.1 and 3.6). (5) Easy open dust bin for quick emptying and cleaning. (6) Seperate access to HEPA filter atop of dust bin - easy to open and clean. (7) Troubleshooting guide on bottom of dust bin for primary codes ... no need to search out the User's Manual to see. (8) Dust bin has small wheel guide along bottom for easy in/out of unit. (9) Easy to install edge brushes that just snap on; rather than screw on brushes for my other cleaners. (10) Quiet, about same as my bObSweep (perhaps a bit quieter); much quieter than my iRobot. CONS: (1) The brush is a bit narrower (width), than other brands I own (bObSweep and iRobot) NOT sure how it affects pickup area width. (2) The dust bin is a bit smaller; but sufficient size for the job. (3) Would be nice to tie in with Alexa via bluetooth. ---- About the product Once you open the top of the box, you will see full length cardboard atop of the contents of the box. It has a "QUICK START GUIDE" printed on it; with (5) clear steps and contact information for customer service. (A nice touch). Package contained An owner's Manual (Cordey R650), the robot cleaner and charging dock, edge brushes to install on cleaner, clean tool for removing hair on brush, remote control with (2) AAA batteries for remote control, (2) magnetic boundary strips, (4) 3M three-strip electronic clean pads and a thin cloth wire tie-up. Note: in addition there were two extra edge brushes and an extra HEPA filter pack for collection bin. (another great surprise - extra main parts) Unlike many other reviewers, the first thing I did was take the five to six minutes to read the Owner's Manual (24 pages) containing LOTS and lots of white space and graphics. Placed both brushes on the bottom of each side of the robot - just snap in place. Opened and checked the dust bin and filter compartment. Plugged the docking station into the wall and placed on the hardwood floor, as directed in the manual. Turned on the main switch on the bottom of the Robot cleaner and placed on the charger as directed. It beeped and began flashing orange (charging). Finally, using the remote (close to cleaner), set the time on the remote. Then placed the remote in the holding slot of the docking station. It took about 3 hours to fully charge. The remote is easy to use with a daily timer that can be set and several cleaning modes. The modes are (1) AUTO which uses a with back-forth (perhaps zig-zag) then a random pattern and finally does edges. (2) SPOT cleans a localized area, making tight spirals outward for about 3 ft then inward back to where it started. (3) EDGE cleans along the walls and around furniture legs. (4) SINGLE ROOM clean; works for about 30 minutes and then returns to base. (5) LOWER SUCTION reduces vacuum power for a lower suction clean. I set the unit on AUTO and let it clean my hardwood floors in hall and living room AS WELL as the tile in my kitchen. It also cleaned the hallway runner rug and 8 x 10 living room rug. It took a little over an hour. I then sent the unit back to it's home base. Found it easy and started charging immediately. I emptied the dust bin and was surprised with how much dirt and lint it picked up. Was easy to clean and checked HEPA filter - still clean. I used the scheduling button to have the cleaner run at 7:00 am automatically. I ran and returned to the home base automatically. It performed as well as using the AUTO with me present. In fact, the rugs seem to been cleaned even more than I did the night before manually, by watching it work. I did this for two days; working flawlessly. OVERALL, the Corey R650 Robot Vacuum Cleaner worked great and I am happy with this purchase. I would highly recommend this unit compared to my other robot cleaner - for the price and its powerful suction ability and cleaning.
