Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am extremely picky about everything and even more so about cleaning my house. I bought an iRoboto/Roomba when it first came out way back in 2002 and it was a piece of junk. Well, we have come a long way, baby! I had been hearing that the tech on these robovacs had improved since then and I saw one in action at a relative's house, so I decided to give the robovac thing another try. I bought and returned all of the highly rated robovacs, Roomba, Ecovacs, etc., and this machine was the best at just plain cleaning. Not only does it do a great job on bare floors but it's also astonishingly good on carpet (medium pile). Before this machine I was vacumming once a day or once every other day. Now I am vacuuming once or twice a month. I have a house and a very hairy border collie and this machine can handle both well. It's also very quiet compared to the other robovacs I tested. All of this said, it has some flaws: 1. The battery doesn't last long. I haven't timed it but the machine doesn't last even an hour on one charge. I do not have a huge house so it cleans my house just fine in that time. If you have a larger house that may be a problem for you. 2. The machine never goes back to its charging base on its own (it's supposed to). It just goes under some sofa somewhere and dies and I have to grab it and put it on the charger. 3. It doesn't clean corners very well. I have to vacuum that crud up myself. Other than those three flaws, I would say that this machine is well worth the price and one of the best purchases I have made on Amazon!
