Hi jazz01
Does it work?
Yes.
Does it work to perfection?
No.
Does it generally do a great job?
yes
Does it do stairs?
No.
Does it vacuum as a person would vacuum?
No. It does it's own thing. If you leave all doors open it won't necessarily finish one room before moving on to another.
It works really well the less objects it encounters. Really good on hard floors. Did a good job on my carpet as well.
I have spent a considerable amount of time last week trying to spot problems as it runs.
It doesn't interfere with the alarm sensors in the rooms.
Before it operates, I do some prep work:
Lift curtains in one room off the floor
Raise kitchen/dining chairs onto table - not necessary as it can go in underneath
Block off access to it behind TV - too many cables. These jobs take a couple of minutes. He will work for approx 2 hours or less.
A lot will depend on the size of the area being cleaned as to whether it can get it all done on one charge.
So far, so good. No problems. I'm Hoping that he survives. There is a 3 year warranty. But It doesn't include the battery. This might be a problem if it's difficult to replace
If you have low armchairs /couch it Wont be able to get under them, same with beds and narrow tables.
So you will still need to have a vacuum cleaner or some other method of cleaning those areas.
