1.0 out of 5 stars KOOLVAC SUCKS!! or should I say, June 18, 2005

This review is from: Koolvac KV-1 Robotic Vacuum (Kitchen)

I bought the KoolVac because I hate vacuuming my floor. When it arrived I let the battery charge for the full 12 hours as reccomended then I turned it on and let it go. I have indoor/outdoor carpet. It didn't pick up anything and it kept getting stuck.I found I was doing more work not vacuuming than if I were to vacuum myself. I had to babysit the thing. Every 15 seconds I had to get up and move it away from a table leg where it kept getting stuck, away from a corner where it kept getting stuck,away from the legs of my bed where it got stuck, away from my stove where it got stuck under the front of it. Well need I say more? Using this vacuum is more of a chore than vacuuming yourself.I bought it from (...)and it is going right back to them.

Don't buy this vacuum -- it is a blatant ripoff of the original Roomba vacuum -- which iRobot has since dramatically upgraded with the Discovery series. You can get a Roomba Red for about the same price, with double the suction and much better reliability.

This review is from: Koolvac KV-1 Robotic Vacuum (Kitchen)

I was very disapointed with this product for several reasons: 1) the dustbin is very small 2) the main brush needs to be unscrewed to be cleaned 3) the little side brush is made of a rigid plastic that was about to break after being used only a few hours 4) but the main problem is that this robotic vacuum kept spinning around table legs and bed legs, often 5 or 6 times before getting unstuck, and once even 13 times before I finally turned it off and moved it to another spot. There was obviously something wrong with the software of the unit I purchased.

Overall, this seems to me to be a very cheap and unreliable product. I am unable to recommend this product to anyone.
