Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

For those who do not love the chore of sweeping up everyday crumbs on the kitchen floor, soccer-cleat dirt by the front entryway, or kitty litter that somehow makes its way half way down the hall, this robotic vacuum cleaner comes in handy. The unit effectively cleans wood and tile floors throughout the house, and can even be used on carpet (it works best on low-pile carpeting). For bare-floor surfaces, simply attach the included electrostatic paper to the bottom of the cleaner, and it takes care of the rest. The vacuum moves around on its own, getting itself in and out of tight places, and its built-in smart technology automatically determines one of three preprogrammed patterns: Random mode for tight spaces like under furniture, Spiral mode for large open areas, and Along The Wall mode for cleaning the perimeters of a room. Power indicator lights on the front of the unit display battery levels during charging and sweeping. Twelve rechargeable Ni-Cd AA batteries come included, offering up to 45 minutes of run-time before needing to be recharged with the included AC adapter. Other highlights include an easy-to-empty internal dustbin, whisper-quiet operation, smooth-rolling wheels, and a bumper to protect table legs and baseboards. Ideal for any size room, the robotic vacuum cleaner measures 11-1/2 by 11 by 4 inches and carries a six-month limited warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Does not work, November 5, 2009

I have 2 irobot roombas, a dirt dog, and a scooba. When I saw the P3 which was MUCH cheaper, I HAD to try it. This product has scuffed up my laminate floors with it's rubber wheels by spinning them aimlessly. It does not move and has to be babysat, despite being put in a cleared, closed room. It got stuck on level floors. Also could not vacuum/sweep tile floors. Very disappointing. Takes FOREVER to charge as well.

Not impressive at all. I guess I am just a spoilt irobot user. I expected more from this product than it was able to give.

4.0 out of 5 stars good floor duster in simple space, January 5, 2010

I have one of the these tiny, inexpensive vacs in each bedroom. They are prefect for bare wood floors in simple spaces. They dust a 10 x 12 bare wood floor in about 15 minutes and do pick up pet hair, tracked cat litter, and dust. It then takes them overnight to re-charge. If used every other day, dust and pet hair doesn't accumulate in the corners, so I find I need a "real" human-operated vac in these rooms only about once a month.

These inexpensive vacs don't have corner brushes so aren't as good at edges as the more advanced robo-vacs. Also, they get stuck on or under just about anything - door sills, rugs edges, chair rungs, etc., so need a clear space in which to work. (For more cluttered room, I like the Metapo QQ2 which does corners and can sterilize the bathroom and kitchen floor with its ultraviolet light. I have not tried the roombas but don't find any of the cheaper models do carpet well.)

Lastly, make sure the P2 and P3 are turned off before recharging; failure to do so will fry the batteries and 12 AA rechargeables aren't cheap!

The newer version (P3) is quieter but still noisier than I'd like while trying to read. However, bothe the P2 and the P3 are quiet enough that the cats ignore them.

5.0 out of 5 stars got the wrong bot...but used it anyway., October 21, 2010

Pretty much like the title said, I sent to another company (Get Organized) and they sent me the wrong robot. They fixed that problem pretty fast--everything is okay.

So, I got to keep it--here's my review.

I gave this little gray fellow a five stars not because of what its' advertisment says--(that it's great on carpets), but because of what I use it for....to dust, vacuum, damp mop, damp sanitize mop my hardwood floors. On carpets...I would have give it a one or two star.

Pros;

1. Thirty seven bucks! Works fine on hard smooth slick surfaces.
2. Doesn't seem to get stuck 'too' much.
3. I wet the 'high tech' cloth, stick it to the bottom of it and let it damp mop my floors...and sometimes spray lysol on the wet cloth and do some 'lite' sanitizing.
4. Does vacuum up 'loose' dust.
5. hunts around alright for a sensor package.

Cons;

1. Better have level floors.
2. There are no battery packs you can buy seperate (when this one stops you have to make your own or put away the machine--they're all like that for some reason.
3. Lite weight plastic--seems okay though--don't let it go off the stairs.
4. Doesn't pick up much off carpets that have been vacuumed in the last two weeks. (no brush).
5. For any vacuum to be a carpet vacuum...it MUST have a rotating brush--I don't care who told you different......everything else should be used on hard, smooth, slick, surfaces.

All in all, I like this unit, I couldn't beat the price...for what I use it for it's five stars (motorized/sensor package...dust/damp/sanatize/lite mopping on hardwood floors.

As a carpet vacuum--get a roomba.
