I bought it skeptically. It is really a time saver. Only problem it does not do corners and is made of light weight plastic. It picked up dust and dog hair, even if it gets caught on something it rolls it's way free. The replacement pads can only be circles,so swifter sheets won't work, if you throw out the order form for replacements you are out of luck.

I bought the RoboMaid because the tile floors would get dusty easily, and sweeping or vacuuming was an almost daily activity. Firstly, the unit does feel quite cheap, but nothing breaks easily. It does everything it says, no more, no less. It picked up just about the same amount of dust from the floor as a regular vacuum cleaner. Remember, the device is for dust only or other relatively small particles. The pad may need changing for fairly big or very dusty rooms and especially if it's more than one room. Unfortunately the pads aren't very cheap either, which probably is my biggest gripe, considering how often you will have to replace them. It doesn't detect edges which lead to drops so if you want to stop it from going down the stairs or a similar area you will have to block the edges. The unit is also noiser than I expected, but obviously not nearly as noisy as a regular vacuum cleaner. Another relatively small problem is the battery. A 3-5 hour charage only runs the device for about 2 hours. Also, when picking up the device when it is finished a little excess dust can fall off, enough that could require cleaning separately. I haven't had any problems with it being stuck and it does clean pretty much the entire room, even if it does take awhile. If your floors tend to get dusty regularly, this is definitely a device that can save alot of time and effort. Just be mindful of the expensive cleaning pads.

Great for wood floors if your main purpose is dust. It's true that Robo Maid can't handle more than mere dust, but I didn't realize how much dust accumulates in less than a week. If you like "spotless" Robo Maid is Very useful.

Much to my surprise this thing actually does a pretty good job on hardwood and vinyl flooring. I've even been able to throw the static pads in the washer and dryer and get two, sometimes three, additional uses out of them.

I own this product and love it. For me, it doubles as a great hands-free way to pick up that extra dust & particle residue that's always left after you do a thorough sweep and as a sort of "pet". It really does make me feel as though I have some sort of pet running around the apartment. Only thing is, I bought it elsewhere though I usually buy from Amazon, this product's shipping cost is nearly twice the price of the product! It's the first time I've noticed this sort of Ebay price-scam, sort of bait-n-switch tactics where the true price comes out in the shipping. I've been trying to find a way to alert Amazon to this shameful practice but haven't found a way to contact them directly yet.

When my friend bought this little guy for me as a gift, I had to laugh, and was certainly skeptical. I have a large area of wood flooring, and two dogs, so dust and dog hair are a constant battle. The robomaid saves me from doing the floors daily, though doesn't replace a regular mop job or thorough cleaning. Considering that I don't mop or thoroughly clean nearly often enough, this guy has definitely made for a cleaner house. It has far exceeded my expectations, particularly for the price. Additionally, we've found a source for the replacement pads on ebay priced relatively reasonably, and also have found them on robomaid.com.

At first, the Robo Maid is just fantastic. However, after several charges, the Robo Maid only goes a couple of inches and stops. I have tried to get in touch with the company to no avail. So, if you buy this item, you buy it at your own risk, even though it is only $10.00. I can not believe they are selling this item on other websites for more than $19.99!!!

I just got this item, and tried it out. WOW.....Works GREAT~! LOL~!!!! It is cheap plastic made in China gadget, but indeed cute little robot that does a work. Only down side is.....WHERE can I get a Refill Pads?? 48 Free Redemption??? The web site, phone number does not seems to exist. Whats up with that?? So, it only gets 3 stars. NOT FOR CARPET FLOOR, HARD FLOOR ONLY.

I like to try new technologies to make my life easier, so I bought this. Honestly, though, I didn't think it would work. When I took it out of the package, it looked cheap and cheesy: a ufo and a ball in a box. Huh.

I would like to thank the person who invented this and the people who sell it, because it is fantastic!

Robomaid is so lightweight, it can't knock over anything, so it's safe to let it roam around when you're not home. It picks up hair, lint, and dust so you never have to push a swiffer around your house again! The charger is small and easy to use, and the swiffer-type pads are easy to attach to the velcro on the bottom of the ufo part of it.

I highly recommend this product, and invite you to consider buying it if you have hardwood or tile floors. I do a lot of yoga and the only way to avoid that slightly grimy, dusty-floor feeling is to swiffer every day (I live in the city)... but I can look forward to a dust-free floor for the rest of my life now that I have Robomaid!

This is technology at its finest: simple, cheap, and time-saving. Way to go, Robomaid!

I bought this at BIG LOTS for only $4.88! Yes, it's true. I was so upset/disappointed that the "free replacement pads" phone number and website are down... not cool. I'm a skeptic and this WORKS! I'd have given it "5 stars" if they'd had a better customer service system at robomaid.com/phone number. But as far as the product goes, if you're thinking about getting, it's worth much more. Don't hesistate. You won't regret it~!
