Foors Are Always Barefootable Clean!
on February 14, 2017
Posted by: Cindy
I did a lot of research online -- via Best Buy, Amazon, CNET and Consumer Reports. Ultimately, we chose this Samsung over the Roomba 980 based on reviews and the Consumer Reports review.
Sam starts his rounds every day about noon. He's still learning his way around the house. He likes to clean around the bar stool legs, but he gets stuck in them about every third or fourth cleaning. When that happens, he'll cry for help for a while and eventually go to sleep if nobody comes to help. Sometimes he runs out of battery before making it home; and sometimes it takes him a while to figure out where he lives when it's time to go home, but I chalk it up to his not being perfect or a human. He's a computer and I figure eventually he'll remember -- or not. When that happens -- about every second or third day -- I just pick him up and take him home. Absolutely no big deal when I consider that I didn't have to get the upright out and spend the time and energy vacuuming!
We have two cats and I guess about 15-1800 sq. ft. to clean. He does a fantastic job with cat hair and tracked cat litter. One of our cats ignores Sam and the other one is truly freaked out (still) by his presence when he is working.
Sam finds his way into every room where the door is open and vacuums in a way that is organized and not sporadic (which you can see in the vacuumed carpet patterns). He is too tall to fit under our couches/recliners, so I sweep under and behind them, as well as in corners or tight spots every now and then, He goes from different floor materials (tile, carpet, memory foam mat in the kitchen, door mat) with no problem, however, he does struggle a bit to clean the area carpet in the living room. It has a table covering a lot of it, and I think between that and the plushness of the carpet, Sam kinda gets confused. He tries though. And, if it looks like he's missing it more than not, no biggie -- I have an upright I can use. Again, I'm not expecting perfection from a robot.
He is expensive. I was lucky to catch a sale and to have found a promo code, but I will tell you, after using him for about 4-5 weeks, I think it is the best many hundreds of dollars we have spent on one item in a long time. The floors (mostly tile and hardwood) are ALWAYS barefoot walkable clean and cat hair is GREATLY minimized! This is evidenced by how much cat hair continues to collect in the dirt/dust storage bin every day or so.
We love Sam and wouldn't want to live without him! Treat yourself. You will not regret it.

I would recommend this to a friend!
