Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I researched these products extensively before going with the RolliTech model, based on the price point and the other consumer reviews. I have used it 3 times and can already tell it's worth the price, at least for me. I have a Chihuahua mix and am always vacuuming when I get home from work to pick up the dog hair. In addition, I have these annoying trees outside my front door that shed tiny star-shaped seed pods that get everywhere...I absolutely hate them, and I track them in the house all the time. It's like a losing battle...until I got the RolliTech! I have set it up in the morning before I leave for work, and my floors look clean and debris-free when I get home. Last night, the Bot wasn't able to find the charger in the kitchen and it ended up sadly in a corner, looking confused with the battery dead. I didn't blame it, I just placed it back on its charger ;0) The debris receptacle is easy to remove and easy to empty and clean. After letting the Bot run until the battery was low, the receptacle was practically full of not only dog hair and tree seed pods, but a lot of very fine dust and dander as well. That impressed me, because it indicates the suction is quite good on such a small device. The actual Bot went from my wood floors to my low-pile rug no problem. It didn't, however, make it over the thin rugs on my kitchen floor...I don't think they have enough weight to them to stay in place when the Bot attempts to roll over them. They slide with the Bot, it gets confused, then it pivots and turns away. My solution? I ended up shaking the rugs out in the middle of my kitchen floor, hanging the rugs on the back of a bar stool, and let the Bot pick up the debris. Not ideal, but not the end of the world! For the price, for my relief from the pesky seed pods, and for the mild entertainment of watching it bump around my living room, I give it 5 stars.
